"Xiaxia, I'm very sympathetic and sad about what happened to you, but this isn't an excuse for you to attack me and hurt me. I'm your friend, and I didn't do anything to let you down." Ling Sheng grabbed her wrist and looked at her seriously, enduring the pain that came from the depths of her soul. "Do you think the people who wanted to find me to do this to me don't know me? Ask yourself honestly, were they really blind? Would they confuse our appearance? I know you don't want to see me. Don't worry, I'll get out of your sight."
She knew.
Ling Sheng used to suffer from insomnia for entire nights whenever there was a thunderstorm. When she closed her eyes, a nightmarish darkness would take over and evil hands would appear before her eyes.
Xiaxia's eyes widened as she pushed her hand away forcefully. She buried her face in the pillow and sobbed softly, her voice full of suppressed, suffocating despair.
There was bitterness and determination in Ling Sheng's eyes as she added, "As your friend, the last thing I can do for you is help you find the mastermind and punish them."
Lu Xianzhi looked at the girl in front of him and felt his heart ache unbearably. It was all his fault that these two girls had suffered such pain. Why could he not change anything?
When she saw Xiaxia start to cry silently, Ling Sheng's body shook vigorously. In the end, she patted her back gently and said, "Get some proper rest."
I won't visit you again.
When Xiaxia heard her footsteps getting further and further away, she suddenly held up a pillow, ready to smash it down as though she had gone mad. However, she ended up hugging it tightly in her embrace. As she looked at her retreating back, she cried until her liver and lungs hurt. "What do you want me to do? Ling Sheng, what do you want me to do? What can I do?"
Who should she blame?
Who should she hate?
She knew that she would eventually lose this friend.
But what about her? She could not get over this hurdle in her heart!
Jun Shiyan was waiting in the car. Through the car window, he saw the young lady's firm footsteps. Her face was serious as she walked over. Before she could reach him, she suddenly leaned against a tree trunk, bent down, and vomited.
Ling Sheng did not know why, but her stomach felt terrible. It seemed as though she was about to vomit her lungs out. She kept retching and coughing violently, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She thought of the storm in her memory.
A hand suddenly reached out from the darkness.
Her memory was blurry, and there was an unfamiliar, cold feeling to it. It was as though she had experienced this personally. Everything about it disgusted her.
Behind her, Jun Shiyan looked at the young girl's sad face. He did not know how to comfort her, so he just kept her company quietly.
Ling Sheng did not know how long she kept puking before she finally stopped coughing. She reached out to wipe her mouth, but her arm was grabbed. The man, who was holding a handkerchief, wiped her dirty face carefully. There was no hint of disdain. Her eyes were red as she looked up at him, and her voice was hoarse. "Third Master."
Jun Shiyan grabbed the back of her head and pulled her into his embrace. Upon seeing the sobbing and trembling girl, he muttered, "I know, I know."
Ling Sheng did not know how long she had been crying, but she did not care that she was on the street. When she was done venting, she looked at him and asked, "Third Master, you're very impressive, right? You can do anything, right?"
Jun Shiyan said in a low voice, "As long as you want something done, I won't hesitate to do it."
He would gladly endure it.
"Then…" Ling Sheng paused. "Help me find the criminals who harmed Xiaxia!"
"Okay." Jun Shiyan saw that the young girl was finally not crying anymore. Her swollen eyes and the red tip of her nose made his heart ache. "Give me three days."
Ling Sheng hugged him and leaned quietly in his embrace. She only spoke after a long while. Her voice was very soft and low. "Third Master, I just lost a friend."
Jun Shiyan lowered his eyes, his sexy voice slightly hoarse. "There are bound to be gains and losses in a person's life. Don't ask for too much. Some people are destined to be passersby in life."
"What about you?" Ling Sheng suddenly remembered that he only had two years to live according to the book. Her heart ached, but she did not dare look at him. "Will you leave me?"
"I'll accompany you for the rest of your life. I'll be with you forever, even in your next life." Jun Shiyan's every word was firm.
