901 My Heart Hurts (1/2)

She placed his hand above her heart…

Lu Jinwen suddenly paused. An astute man like him was able to infer a lot from that one move.

His eyes glinted like hardened steel. ”What do you mean? What do you exactly mean?”

His voice was harsh, his eyes narrowed in disbelief.

Lin Xuanji's eyelashes fluttered, two drops of tears came out from the corners of her eyes before it trickled down and disappeared into her hair.

She spoke feebly, ”Lu Jinwen, I should have… told you earlier, I should have told you a long time ago. Actually… My heart… hurts so much…”

Lu Jinwen froze as her words burned into his mind—- My heart hurts so much.

She said, her heart hurts so much.

Boom. He fell on one knee, pulling her tight into his embrace with one hand while the other was clutching onto her shoulder. His eyes turned bloodshot. ”What are you talking about, I don't understand you. I really don't understand you.”

Lin Xuanji looked at him, lifting her hands to hug his neck before kissing him on the lips.

”Lu Jinwen, you must live on. I won't let you die… even if it means giving up my own life, I will make sure to save you…”

As Lu Jinwen lowered his head, he nuzzled the tip of his nose against her face. He understood everything, he finally figured everything out.

—-Lu Jinwen, you must live on, I won't let you die…

—-Even if it means giving up my own life, I will make sure to save you…

30 years ago, he had taken in the toxic gas at Bangkok No.7 and fainted by the roadside. The toxins had acted up and right when he thought he was about to die, he heard a sensual voice.

The maiden's lips were on his and she sucked the toxins out of him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Xuanyin in front of him.

Even after so many years, he hadn't forgotten that voice.

It was because of that voice he heard back then that resulted in his protection over Lin Xuanyin. Even when Lin Xuanyin harmed his second child, he hadn't done anything to her at all.

However…

Now she was telling him that it was her back then!

He clutched onto her shoulders tightly, wanting her to fuse into his blood and bones. His veins were popping and he buried his face in her hair, laughing while in disbelief. ”You think that I'd believe you just like that? I won't believe you! Let me tell you this, Xuanji, I'll never believe you!”

His voice traveled into her ears and the corner of her lips slowly kicked up. She drifted into those fated memories and her voice was faint.

”Back then, I waited for you for an entire day at Bangkok No. 1. When I walked outside at dawn, I suddenly saw… you on the ground.

”You had taken in the toxic gas and so I… saved you. I sucked out the toxic gas in your body and after that, I wanted to call for an ambulance, only to realize I hadn't brought my cell phone. I could only run to the phone booth on the opposite side of the street and when I came back… you had already disappeared…
