530 Open Your Eyes, Im Really Afraid (1/2)

She started crying.

As Gu Mohan looked at her tear-filled face, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, witnessing such a scene.

He felt as though someone was squeezing his heart tightly, the pain was sudden and strong. His Adam's apple bobbed and his originally deep voice sounded ever so gentle. ”I didn't mean to be fierce to you, I'm sorry, please don't cry…”

It was that same magnetic voice and tone that she was familiar with, he was coaxing her once again. It was her Mr Gu.

Tang Mo'er started sobbing even more, she whimpered, ”Gu Mohan, just let go of me… We'll both fall into the valley if you don't…”

”I promise to not let anything bad happen to you, hm?”

Yes, she believed him.

Back when she had contracted the love pea poison, Mr Gu had reassured her in that exact same way. He promised to protect her and not let anything bad happen to her, and then… something bad happened to him instead.

She couldn't let it happen again.

”Gu Mohan, it's a shame that I won't have the chance to hear you confess your love to me in this lifetime. But it's okay. Remember to live on, and live well.”

Tang Mo'er twisted her wrist out of his grasp after she was done with her last words.

Her hands fell away from his palm, he tried to clutch on it tightly but it was useless.

Gu Mohan could only watch as Tang Mo'er fell down the valley. Her glassy eyes were clouded with tears, but her smile towards him was as radiant as the sun.

She wanted to leave those joyful memories for him, even if she was on her last breath.

Gu Mohan was tortured, he didn't hesitate for even a moment and jumped down after her.

All that was on his mind was to follow Tang Mo'er down.

…

Her lithe body plunged downwards in a frightening free fall, she felt a crazed giddiness and terror consume her. In just a few moments, she would fall to her death.

Inside, she was extremely afraid.

If she were to really die in the wild, her corpse might be eaten up by the wild animals, removing all of her traces.

What a horrible way to die.

All of a sudden, she felt a strong arm grasping her waist and she was pulled into a warm embrace.

Tang Mo'er was stunned, she quickly lifted her head and saw Gu Mohan in front of her eyes.

Her pupils dilated with shock, and she tugged on his coat and forced out the words, ”Gu Mohan, have you gone crazy?! Why did you jump down too?!”

Gu Mohan held the back of head and pressed her head in his chest. He planted a tender kiss on her head. ”Don't worry, I'm here for you.”

Don't worry, I'm here for you.

Tang Mo'er was touched by his words and tears welled up behind her eyes. She had known that her Mr Gu hadn't left. Her Mr Gu had never once left her at all.

Mr Gu had always been by her side.

”Mo'er, close your eyes, we're going to hit the ground soon,” he muttered beside her ear.

Tang Mo'er hugged onto his trim waist even tighter, she beamed knowing that he was going to be there with her. She was no longer afraid.

Even if she were to die in the next moment, she was no longer afraid.

They fell into the valley and hit the ground at a terrifying speed, causing their bodies to roll about on the craggy ground. Through it all, Gu Mohan had protected her head with his hands, hugging her tightly in his arms, and she hadn't felt any pain at all.

One minute later, they finally stopped rolling and Gu Mohan was now below Tang Mo'er.

Tang Mo'er felt her vision turn blurry when she first opened her eyes. She closed them again and blinked a few times before she managed to get a grip on herself. As she looked at the man under her, she panicked and scrambled up from him, panicked as she stared at his lifeless body. He was unconscious and his entire face was pale and clammy.

”Gu Mohan… Mr Gu, wake up? Hurry up and open your eyes, don't scare me…”
