Chapter 48 (2/2)
Was he going to plummet to his death just like that?
No, no, I cannot die!
He flailed his ar the intense pain in his body He grabbed a tree growing on the edge and swung himself upwards
With a shout, he pulled Su Yuehan up and hung her on the tree Just as he was to climb upwards, he heard crackles from the roots When he turned, he saw that the tree was slowly uprooting froht
He did not dareunto the trunk as he panted heavily
Su Yuehan finally snapped back to reality, staring at him in shock She suddenly asked, “Why did you save me?
He was confused why the handmaiden would ask such a question “Huh?”
She stared at him intently “Why did you save me?”
He did not know to laugh or cry “Look at the state we're in! And you choose to talk about that?”
As if she didn't hear him, she asked, “Why did you risk your life to save me? Didn't you know you could have died?”
He sighed and gazed deeply into her eyes “Ever since I saw you for the first ti by the riverside; there stood a beauty; the man's perfect partner”
[T/LNote: <> or 《周南·关雎》by Anonymous is a Zhou Dynasty poem fro poehearts (Nymphoides) by the river as the uqin to win over her heart]
Su Yuehan blushed Even though she was currently at the edge of a deathly cliff, her eyes gleamed hopefully “Is what you say… true?”
Li Chengfeng did not notice the shock and complicated emotions in her eyes
He looked at her for a long tihter “You believed ht I'd die just because I like you?”
Su Yuehan was stunned, stuttering, “You… you… you… What do you mean?
He laughed “You saved ot to save you too! Stop overthinking! Let irls who likearound the entire Cheng'an City… Eh, eh, don'tto snap, don't move! Wait for them to come save us!”
Su Yuehan started shaking, her cheeks a deep red She gritted her teeth and slapped him
Startled, he dodged and grabbed her hand “Hey, are you mad? You'll kill me!”
Su Yuehan used her other hand to hit hi her other hand Both his hands were now full The tree sank doards and she slipped further They barely held on
Su Yuehan quickly used her feet to stabilise herself Drenched in cold sweat, Li Chengfeng glared at her “Are you mad? Do you want to die?”
She took a deep breath and glared at hi, 'I hope you die!'
Before she could react, there was the sound of roots snapping off from the cliff wall They turned only to see the entire tree uprooted The tree trunk slowly slanted doards
Li Chengfeng was completely drenched in sweat now, hopeless
“You btch! Youme into it too!”
Li Cehngfeng screaed down the deep, misty canyon
