C116 (1/2)

When she woke up in the morning, Jiang Shuxia saw Lingxuyao lying beside him the first thing she did. She touched his face and for a moment, Jiang Shuxia couldn't help but tear up.

She had nothing left but him now.

Lingxuyao looked at her gently. ”You're awake?”

”En!” Jiang Shuxia hooked her arms around his neck, her tears still hanging on her long eyelashes. She looked pitiful and delicate, making people's hearts ache for her.

Lingxuyao touched her forehead, luckily his fever had subsided, ”Why are you crying?”

”Lingxuyao, Lingxuyao, Lingxuyao —” Jiang Shuxia did not answer, but only yelled his name over and over again while tears continued to flow uncontrollably down his face.

Lingxuyao's heart trembled. He hugged her tightly in his embrace, and patted her back with his large hands as if he was comforting a child. ”It's alright, I'm here.”

When she thought about what happened last night, Jiang Shuxia felt a burst of lingering fear. When she thought about how she was going to be possessed by another man, she would rather die immediately.

”Lingxuyao, I'm in pain!”

”Where does it hurt? I'll get a doctor! ” Lingxuyao frowned.

Jiang Shuxia took his big hand, and placed it on top of her own heart, ”Here!”

The pain was because she still had a sliver of hope for her kinship with blood that was thicker than water and was unwilling to part with it. She originally thought that their blood and flesh relationship would not be so indifferent to such a degree, but she didn't expect that Jiang Yu really wanted to force her to her death.

She would never have a father again. From now on, she was an orphan.

Lingxuyao lowered her eyes and looked at her small face, his delicate eyebrows knitted together, her teary eyes really made one's heart ache.

He lowered his head, lifted her chin, and kissed it lightly. ”Does it hurt?”

She nodded.

It hurt like hell.

Ling Xuyao, I'm so scared. I almost thought I was going to die …” Jiang Shuxia began to cry. ”Wuu … I'm so scared …

Lingxuyao hugged her tightly, a trace of hostility flashed past his eyes, his voice was cold enough to freeze people, ”Tell her, what did they do to you?”

”No, I didn't.” Jiang Shuxia hugged Lingxuyao's waist, and shook his head with all his might in's embrace, ”Lingxuyao, I only have you now, you better not leave me!”

Lingxuyao patted her back, and comforted her softly, ”Be good, how could I not want you!”

He was just blaming himself. If he had arrived earlier, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

”I came late, sorry.” Lingxuyao lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead.

”Lingxuyao —” Jiang Shuxia looked at Lingxuyao's face. This was clearly not his faulthee himself was too stupid. Even though he knew there was a trap, she was actually tricked twice by in the same way.

”My father was there last night, did you know that?” Jiang Shuxia's nose twitched, and tears once again flowed out. ”She's the father that I've called for more than twenty years, my biological father!”

Lingxuyao saw her sad appearance and said that he had long given up hope. However, he was still a blood relative, how could there be no hope?

The more one cared about someone, the more one couldn't afford to lose. Kind people are the most vulnerable.

”Don't be afraid, you still have me!”

It was a simple consolation, but she was very satisfied. As long as he was by her side, she wasn't afraid of the heavens collapsing.

Her body moved, and Jiang Shuxia immediately frowned. She raised her head and looked at Lingxuyao pitifully, ”My legs are in pain ~”

There were deep gashes in her thigh. She had stabbed them herself last night with a pair of scissoring scissors, deep and bleeding profusely.

Lingxuyao sat up and lifted the blanket, he looked at the thick layer of gauze wrapped around her thighs, and his eyes revealed a stern look: ”I'll go call the doctor!”

”No!” Jiang Shuxia shook her head, her big eyes looking at him like a little girl who knew nothing of the world, ”If you help me blow it, it won't hurt anymore. When I fell down when I was young, Mom would help me blow it.”

Lingxuyao's eyes moved. He looked at her expression, and then very consciously lowered his head and blew for her.

Jiang Shuxia looked at his serious look, and tears slowly gathered in her eyes, ”Lingxuyao.”

”Hmm?” He looked up at her.

”My birthday is coming up soon,” Jiang Shuxia's expression was a little dejected, as he said with deep sadness. ”The day of my birthday, was also the day that mother died.”

In that car accident, she should have been the one to die. It was her mother who used her body to protect her, allowing her to live on. From that time onwards, Jiang Shuxia never had a birthday again.

When she thought about the car accident back then, Jiang Shuxia couldn't help but say, ”I was the one who harmed mother. I really hope that the one who died that day was me!”

Lingxuyao's expression changed slightly, and he hugged her tightly, ”Good girl, this is not your fault. Your mother hopes that you can continue to live well and not carry so much self-blame. ”

Her eyes seemed to have instantly borne too much, surpassing the limits of what she could endure.

That sorrowful expression, it seemed as if it could crush her at any time.
