âYe Sijue!â Annie cried out. She saw the two bloody holes in his hand and inhaled sharply in fear, cupping a hand over her mouth.
âMy goodness⦠How did this happen⦠What should we doâ¦â
He had been bitten by the cobra!
Ye Sijue had lost a fair amount of blood earlier, and he was still sick. In addition, the venom from the bite was coursing through him, causing him to almost faint.
Annie was trembling violently. She fell down beside him and looked at the two bloody holes helplessly.
Darkly-tinged blood was flowing out and it looked horrific.
âWhat do we do⦠what do we doâ¦â She was so frantic that cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her pale face looked as though the sky had fallen.
The person who had been holding the sky up for her, Ye Sijue, had collapsed.
If this continued, he would dieâ¦
The words âhe would dieâ flashed in Annieâs mind and she felt as though her heart were going to stop.
Noâ¦
He couldnât die!
Annie was panicking when an idea flashed across her mind.
She gripped Ye Sijueâs arm forcefully, intending to lower her head and suck the venom out.
âNo⦠are you crazy?â Ye Sijue, who was about to faint, gritted his teeth and held on. In a weak voice, he tried to stop her suicidal action.
âI-Iâm helping you!â she stuttered.
Ye Sijueâs eyelids were about to close and he looked as though he were about to faint at any moment.
He bit his lip hard, trying to use the pain to stay conscious.
âThatâs not going to work⦠Itâs just something thatâs seen on TV. Youâll be poisoned tooâ¦â His voice was getting weaker and weaker.
âIâm not afraid. I donât care if I get poisoned!â Annie said resolutely. Tears fell from her wet eyes as she gazed at him.
âYou wonât be able to get rid of the poison and youâll be poisoned too⦠are you trying to die with me?â Ye Sijue laughed. He hadnât imagined that he could laugh when he was at deathâs door.
Annie blurted, âIâll die with you then!â
She gripped his arm fiercely as tears gushed from her eyes.
If he died, then she didnât want to live either!
She had never felt such emotion.
It was at this moment that she really embraced the idea of dying alongside him.
Ye Sijueâs heart shook, and he looked into her eyes steadily.
Silly girlâ¦
However, he felt joy and warmth bloom in his heart.
Even though she wouldnât cancel her engagement for him, she still chose to be with him when he was at the crossroads of life and death.
Ye Sijue couldnât help but laugh.
If he died right then and there he would have died with no regrets.
No, he would still have regrets.
He would regret not being able to love her. He would regret not starting a family with her.
âYe Sijue⦠Ye Sijue! No⦠Donât close your eyes! No!â Annie cried.
