Chapter 621 - Zou Xingxing Did This For Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Chi Jiao approached, Zou Xingxing tried her best to hold on, her eyes greedily taking in her face.

“Jiaojiao, I… I never harmed you…” Zou Xingxing was going to use her remaining strength to say these words. “I didn’t really want to hurt the people around you, either. I… I was just too afraid that they would hurt you. I want to tell you that I’m sorry.”

Chi Jiao quickly took out some medicine and stuffed it into her mouth. “Stop talking. I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

Even though Zou Xingxing looked beyond hope, she couldn’t just stand by and watch as she died.

It was because of her that Zou Xingxing became like this.

She wasn’t a saint. But she wasn’t heartless.

She would still be sad if someone sacrificed her life for her.

However, Zou Xingxing spat out the medicine. She could no longer swallow anything.

Zou Xingxing reached out and grabbed Chi Jiao’s arm tightly. Her breathing became even more uneven. “You… you have to be careful of She Qi. His target has always been you…”

Her voice was barely audible toward the end.

Zou Xingxing’s breathing suddenly stopped. Her hand, which had been tightly gripping Chi Jiao’s arm, went limp.

Even in death, she did not close her eyes.

Holding Zou Xingxing, Chi Jiao sat on the ground with her head lowered.

“Jiaojiao, are you alright?” Pei Yao squatted down and placed her hand on her shoulder.

“Zou Xingxing died to protect me,” Chi Jiao whispered.

“The dead can’t be brought back to life.” Pei Yao didn’t know how to comfort her.

She felt that this could be taken as Zou Xingxing atoning for her previous crimes.

People died like flames going out.

Whatever she had done in the past, be it good or bad, had turned to dust the moment she died.

Huo Chen looked at Chi Jiao with a complicated expression. He saw her sitting there with her head lowered, holding Zou Xingxing. She was in such a sorry state that his heart ached.

“Jiaojiao, leave her to me,” Beitang Lie whispered. “You need to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

Although he couldn’t see what had happened inside the barrier, Beitang Lie clearly sensed that Chi Jiao and Zou Xingxing must have experienced a major battle just now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chi Jiao looked at Zou Xingxing in her arms.

Zou Xingxing’s eyes were filled with a reluctance to part with this world.

Her hands were covered in Zou Xingxing’s blood.

She saw Zou Xingxing’s past.

She saw her growing up in a very tough family environment. She saw her and her younger brother being bullied and ostracized. She also secretly wrote in her diary how much she liked Chi Jiao and how much she wanted to be best friends with that girl.

Zou Xingxing was only 17 years old this year.

The 17-year-old Zou Xingxing only had one simple wish—to stay by Chi Jiao’s side and protect her.

It turned out that Zou Xingxing had indeed protected her.

She had used her life to protect her.

She reached out and closed Zou Xingxing’s eyes. Chi Jiao nodded silently at Beitang Lie.

He took Zou Xingxing over, and Pei Yao immediately helped Chi Jiao stand up.

They walked towards the police car.

After getting into the police car, Chi Jiao looked up at the night sky through the window.

“Send me home.” The girl sounded tired.

In the driver’s seat, Huo Chen immediately turned to look at her. “You need to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

Beitang Lie brought Zou Xingxing’s corpse to the police station on his own. They had to follow the procedures for an autopsy.. Pei Yao got into the same car as Chi Jiao.
