228 Lin Zhou: Her Wish (2/2)

Xiao Fang felt like crying... This was her! This was the Han Xiang that she had known... If only... if only, she paid attention to her change... Han Xiang's condition wouldn't go bad to this extent. To think that a few moments ago, she started to hate and blame Han Xiang for her behavior. Knowing Han Xiang's condition, it seemed like Xiao Fang had failed her as her best friend. She couldn't help but feel guilty because of it.

”Then... tell me... what are your wishes?” Xiao Fang asked.

Han Xiang didn't know that Xiao Fang already knew about her condition. She had tried to mask her condition, but she knew that there were a lot of times that she was muddle-headed and she did many things that unlike herself. It was a rare time for her to talk like this with Xiao Fang... and for the first time in a long time, she felt happy.

”Hmmm... my wishes... I just want to become like a butterfly...” Han Xiang answered while she stared at nothing. This was her wish since she heard Tao Gu Gu said about butterfly and she found so many ways to try to attract butterflies until she was successful.

”Butterfly? Why?” Xiao Fang asked softly.

”There's a secret that you don't know... and I want it to remain a secret...” Han Xiang laughed. ”By becoming a butterfly, I can laugh and fly freely in the sky... I can have my own freedom and happiness... I can live and become whatever I want to be...” She pulled up her hand and directed it toward the window --- toward the sky and it felt like she was touching the sky when she did that.

It seemed like a simple wish, but for Xiao Fang who already knew the whole story, she bit her lower lips and tried to prevent herself from crying out loud. 'Han Xiang... her Han Xiang... what could I do for you?' Xiao Fang thought to herself.

”How about love?” Xiao Fang suddenly asked. They used to talk about love and handsome noblemen while giggling together. Xiao Fang realized that it had been a long time since they were talking about their crush and dream.

Han Xiang laughed bitterly. ”What kind of love that I can have? No need...” Han Xiang didn't tell that her body was getting worse, so there would be no hope for her to taste love ah... Then, she smiled while reminding Xiao Fang, ”I'm getting married, remember?”

”Are you sure? If you want to... I can help you live a new life...” Xiao Fang gave an offer to Han Xiang.

Han Xiang gulped, feeling tempted. However, she decided to shake her head. ”No... It will implicate your family. I'm fine, really...” Anyway, she could not live for long. Han Xiang actually knew that this wedding shouldn't happen... But, she couldn't control her own mind lately and she wasn't able to think clearly. She didn't even remember many things that happened previously, since she had taken the poison.

Xiao Fang was quite surprised by Han Xiang's sudden of change and it made her quite confused which one was the real her. However, she believed in Yao Ling's judgment and even if it was only her wishful thinking, she wished that this one was the real Han Xiang.

They chatted like the good old days and Xiao Fang felt blissful with their current interaction. She didn't know how long that this Han Xiang would appear, but she enjoyed their conversation. They talked about anything, including their childhood memories. Not once they mentioned the Han Emperor... it was like they were in a tacit understanding about it. Xiao Fang also never brought out the topic about the change in Han Xiang's personalities too...

They talked quite a long time and when Han Xiang started to cough and become paler, Xiao Fang got worried about Han Xiang's condition, even though the latter already said that she was fine. Xiao Fang understood that Han Xiang was already tired and she decided to let her sleep. Xiao Fang didn't go searching for Yao Ling because she wanted to be alone and she told Han Er not to disturb Han Xiang. She gave an order for Han Er to wait outside of the room, so Han Xiang wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

However, she would regret this decision soon..
