Chapter 204: Chapter 024 Life is good_1
“Nan Fei…wait for me…” Huo Beijiang lay her down on the shore, his feet still in the water before he had the time to step out. He immediately proceeded to give Nan Fei artificial respiration.
His strong hand rhythmically applied pressure on her chest, only letting out a sigh of relief when he felt her heartbeat return.
“Darling?” A nearly imperceptible smile crossed the handsome face of Huo Beijiang. He looked at the young maiden who was slowly opening her eyes, “Darling…” He heard his own voice trembling.
The unfamiliarity didn’t seem to belong to him, Huo Beijiang.
Or perhaps, Huo Beijiang never thought that he would ever experience such a moment — such panic and helplessness… all caused by a woman.
The only woman he ever wanted to marry.
Nan Fei felt as if she had been asleep — asleep for a very long, yet very short time. As she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Beijiang’s handsome face looming large before her. Subconsciously, she thought she was back in her past life again.
She remembered that time, how she tried relentlessly to learn how to swim and to master First-Aid. But she was already terrified of water.
Yet, she didn’t give up.
She was always — once she decided to learn something, she would not let go, pushing herself to extremes. Once, she nearly drowned in the swimming pool and he saved her.
The moment she opened her eyes, his lips were pressing onto hers. Without a thought, she abruptly pushed him away.
Nevertheless, she regretted pushing him away almost immediately and wanted to apologize, but couldn’t swallow her pride. And then she thought, her obsession with learning to swim was born out of her brother’s death.
If she wasn’t forced to marry him, would her brother have died?
Consequently, she was trapped in a vicious cycle again.
Afterwards, it was an endless cold war between them.
Only after she was reincarnated did she realize how unreasonable and irrational she had been in her previous life. If she had another chance, she certainly would not be so harsh and unreasonable.
Nan Fei’s eyes gradually welled up with tears. She was confused as to whether it was her past life or her reincarnated one. Or perhaps her reincarnation was just a dream and now that she had woken up, there was nothing left.
She was physically depleted, wanting to lift her hand to touch his face, but couldn’t muster the strength.
“Darling, why are you crying? Please, don’t cry!” Huo Beijiang looked at her helplessly. The sharp angles of his handsome face were filled with an expression that wouldn’t normally be there.
This unfamiliarity made Nan Fei feel as if she was confusing him for someone else.
“Darling, where does it hurt? Are you injured anywhere? Let’s take you to the hospital.” Huo Beijiang tried to lift her up off the ground, ready to go back onto the bridge, and spoke while walking, “Don’t be afraid! I’m here!”
“Your brother is okay too, Jiuming will definitely save him.” Saying this, he gave her a reassuring look as he comforted her, “Jiuming’s First-Aid skills are excellent, he can definitely save your brother. Don’t worry!”
“Brother? Saved?” Nan Fei murmured, her sad eyes suddenly bursting with a luminous light. Despite her physical exhaustion, she mustered the strength to strenuously clutch Huo Beijiang’s shirt.
“My brother…my brother…” Her voice was hoarse, she could barely utter complete sentences.
“Relax, your brother is okay. He will definitely be okay.”
And her reincarnation…is that also real?
Huo Beijiang is his real self!
Her brother being alive is also real!
Nan Fei leaned against Huo Beijiang, her pale face lit up with a sweet smile. Her hand clasping his shirt, even when she fainted, she didn’t let go.
