Chapter 82: Suyang’s confession (1/2)

Chapter 82: Suyang’s confession

I didn’t realize I had already gotten to this stage. But as the bullet was coming out, my brain didn’t even think. My body reacted first. I naturally blocked it for him.

When did I become so nimble?

But I don’t regret it.

Finally, I’ve done something I wouldn’t regret….

By the time I felt the intense pain on my chest, I had already fallen into Suyang’s arms. Everything appeared more and more hazy. I couldn’t tell if it were my tears or I was losing consciousness.

“Lin Yixin! Lin Yixin! Remain alert! Don’t sleep!”

It had been a long time since I heard Suyang use my real name. He normally called me “Goldfish”. Now that he was acting like this, it made me feel the severity of the situation.

I have been shot.

“Don’t use my name… it sounds too serious….” I managed to squeeze out those words as I raised my hand to touch Suyang’s face. I felt something wet.

He was crying?

Why's he crying?

Don’t cry….you….

This was the first time I’ve seen Suyang’s tears. It was more painful watching him cry than crying myself. Or perhaps, it was because of the pain I felt from the gunshot.

I finally came to the realization that I didn’t simply like him. I love him. Gradually, I began to lose consciousness.

“You’ll be fine! I won’t let anything happen to you!” Suyang screamed into my ears. But it sounded so distant and far away.

Silly, I’m the one who wouldn’t let anything happen to you….

Before I completely lost consciousness, I secretly made a vow to Suyang - I must stay alive for his sake!

----

The gunshot wound was two centimeters from my heart. Because of those two centimeters, I lived.

I was sitting on a chair in my ward as I watched my unconscious self on the hospital bed and snickered.

I am experiencing the out-of-body experience….!

Yes! I’ve become a spirit! Although my body still showed vital signs, my consciousness had floated out. I was in the same state as Sheyu once was.

Regardless of how loudly I yelled, no one could hear me. Ai…..is this what ghosts normally experience? How boring…

Suyang had already been by 'my' side for the entire day and night. He had never left. Since his back was facing me, I couldn’t see his facial expressions.

Suyang’s proud waist was now curved like dazed wanderer. Was he feeling guilty?

The more Suyang was like this, the more my heart ached for him.

This incident occurred because of my failure to think thoroughly. Obviously, I wouldn’t have let Suyang taken the bullet…

I wanted to comfort him and hug him. I wanted to lightly pat his back and tell him it was fine. I’ve been by your side all this time.

Yet, I couldn’t do something so simple.

I approached Suyang as I crouched by his side. I admired him and rested my chin on my hands. Since he wasn’t aware of my existence, I could admire him from any direction.
