695 The Fall 9 (1/2)
This feeling underneath my touch is too real. It does not feel like a dream.
Before Song Qingchun's brain could make the last leap in logic, Su Zhinian seemed to sense something. He released the grip he had on her wrists to pull her deeper into his arms. Then he turned around in midair so that he was the one on the bottom. He was going to use his body as a shield to protect her from the impact.
Being held so closely caused Song Qingchun to tremble. Everything was happening too suddenly. Before she recovered from the shock of her discovery, before she could even understand what he was doing, the two of them landed heavily on the ground.
However, it did not feel like the ground. There was a great bounce following a tough landing. The landing was so rough that Song Qingchun felt like her heart had stopped beating; her consciousness almost snapped and submerged into darkness.
The operative term here is almost. Eventually, the darkness parted from Song Qingchun's eyes. The blood in her body gradually calmed down, and her brain started to work again.
She felt like every bone in her body had shattered. She lay there with her eyes closed, and her chest rose up and down at a high frequency. Before she could confirm whether she was dead or alive, a voice called out beside her.
”Qingchun?”
The voice was like the sound of an angel, a voice she was very familiar with. It was Su Zhinian.
Song Qingchun was confused.
”Qingchun?” Su Zhinian noticed the girl's lack of response in his arms, and he called out once more.
Am I in heaven? Why am I hearing his voice?
