I nodded with satisfaction as the leading man fell before me, his eyes filled with fear. I picked up his whip and lashed at the man who was tussling with Brother Hu.
I lashed the whip wildly about with just one thought in my mind.?These people deserve to die! These people who harmed my parents deserve to die!
Blood rushed to my brain and all I could see were the people who had caused my tragic death in my previous life. My ears buzzed and I couldnât hear anything anymore.
Suddenly, a powerful hand grabbed my arm and the whip fell from my grasp. Then I was pulled into a warm embrace. It was a scent I was familiar with.?Jing Tian, youâre here?
The red faded away and everything went black.
âNanxing, itâs me, Jing Tian!â Jing Tianâs voice entered my ears. His worried tone warmed my heart. Jing Tian, Iâm sorry for making you worry.?I sighed out in relief and collapsed into his arms. The safest place in the world was Jing Tianâs embrace.

When I woke up, there was white everywhere. I tried to move and released I was stuck to many drips.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâre finally awake?â Jing Tianâs voice rang beside me. I woke up immediately. Seeing Jing Tian sent a jolt of joy through me.
âWhere am I? Is this the hospital?â I asked Jing Tian. Jing Tian sat down on the chair beside my bed. He reached out to smooth down my tussled hair and said gently, âYou canât remember why youâre in the hospital?â
I closed my eyes and I saw red. Then suddenly it came back to me. âNi Ni and I⦠Whereâs Ni Ni? Is she okay?â The girl took the whip for me! I sat up and tried to crawl out from bed. I needed to go find her!
Jing Tian pressed me back in bed. âNi Ni is in another room. She suffers only superficial wounds. Sheâll be fine. Sheâs just scared. Iâve already summoned third aunt to come look after her. And that male classmate of yours. His injuries are more severe but heâs not in mortal danger, so donât worry.â
I heaved a sigh of relief. Jing Tian placed the pillow behind my back so I could sit up more comfortably. He poured me a cup of water and gave me a straw. âCan you tell me what you remember?â
I took a sip of the water and nodded. I tried to recall. âThe drinks Ni Ni and I had at the cafe must be drugged. When I woke up, I was already inside a warehouse. I saw them hit Ni Ni and Lee Yang. I tricked the kidnappers to call you and chatted with them to buy time. Thankfully Brother Huâs team and you came in time. By the way, where was my little uncle? Where was he? I almost died and he wasnât even there. Hmph, and he said he is my only blood relative!â
Jing Tian looked at me strangely and explained, âTong Le is interrogating those kidnappers. Actually he arrived at the scene with me. You saw me but not him?â
I immediately smiled sweetly at him. âWell, can you blame me for only having you in my eyes?â
Jing Tian was unmoved by my flattery. He asked me in a gentle voice, âWere you scared?â
I nodded heavily. âI know brother Hu and the others would be looking for us but what if they couldnât find me and Ni Ni? There were 5 men. Lee Yang was strung up and beaten. Ni Ni and I definitely couldnât defeat them. I finally tricked them to call you but they broke the phone instead.â
Jing Tian looked at me. âAnd then?â
I looked at Jing Tian in confusion. âAnd then you came and saved us.â
Jiang Tian asked again, âYou canât remember anything else?â
I looked at him. âThere was nothing else. I would remember if there was. I was calling your name repeatedly in my heart and you really did come!â I leaned forward, trying to kiss him.
This time Jing Tian didnât avoid me, he let me kiss him on his cheek. He whispered, âNanxing, Iâm sorry.â
I held him and shook my head. âWhy apologize? You saved me!â
He touched my head and looked quite solemn. I pulled him down and tried to sit up straighter before I finally managed to kiss his lips.
His body stiffened slightly. Then he gave in and reciprocated the kiss. He was careful not to disrupt the IV drips around me.
Jing Tian, I love you so!
