Chapter 760 - : Who Would Find Them? (2/2)
Xia Ruoxin used her hands to pick out the sand in the net, and her hands quite trembling. She was clearly really cold, but sometimes, she could not even feel her own hands.
Shen Wei’s pale lips moved up and down. “Do you believe someone will come all the way here to save you?”
Xia Ruoxin’s fingers on the next paused slightly. “I don’t know, but if there’s someone that would come save me and not give up on me, I believe it will only be him.”
“Chu Lui?” Shen Wei answered her.
“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin sighed lightly. In the past, she did not believe the man and did not trust whatever he said; but when Shen Wei asked her the question, the first person that popped up in her mind was only that man.
Just that, would he come to save her? Would he really come?
“Shen Wei, what about you?” She asked Shen Wei again. Actually, she could not answer this question. After all, no matter if they escaped themselves or someone came to rescue them, it all seemed like a dream. Perhaps they could only wait for their deaths here as they waited a day, they had to last for a day and survive another.
“I…” Shen Wei could still smile at this point, but on her thin face, her beautiful smile was no longer visible. Actually, Xia Ruoxin looked about the same—half-person, half-ghost.
Shen Wei lowered her head. “I haven’t thought of it. Actually, I really haven’t found someone who would not give up on me until now and would still look for me.”
“What about Brother San?”
Xia Ruoxin brought up Brother San even though she did not know the relationship between Shen Wei and Brother San.
“Brother San…” Shen Wei smiled.
“I have never given him anything. Do you think there will be a man that is this silly?”
“Perhaps there is.” Xia Ruoxin was uncertain. She lowered her head and allowed the wind to blow her face while the river water ruined her feet. At this point, she suddenly heard Shen Wei’s mutters.
“If Brother San really comes and finds me, then I’ll marry him.”
Xia Ruoxin bit her numb lip lightly. “If Chu Lui really comes to find me, then I’ll not talk about the past anymore. Perhaps I’ll even marry him, although he has married three times already.”
Just that when she thought about this, she felt as if she was daydreaming. Indeed, all these were ‘what ifs’. Perhaps until the very end, what was waiting for them would be their death bell and nothing else.
It was better when they first came.
At that time, it was not that cold; if not, they would have already frozen to death just like the previous batch. During the nights, she heard people cry; and actually, she wanted to cry, too.
Just that, what was the use of crying?
There were only two paths one could choose from here: live or not to live. In their last breath, one less day was a day; one more day’s food would be considered as one more day of suffering. Only when one died, one could leave this place forever and—of course—leave the world the same way.
