Mentioning this, Ling Chuxia actually felt somewhat guilty. At that time, she was truly a foodie who could eat a lot, always scheming various ways to squeeze Shi Che dry.
Back then, she had been quite cunning to satisfy her cravings. Shi Che’s money, she hardly spent any of her own, nearly all of it went towards fulfilling her desires.
Ling Chuxia’s cheeks reddened, and she timidly stuck out her tongue, feeling it was no longer right to press this issue and quickly changed the subject, "Let’s stop looking, let’s go for a walk by the sports field."
Shi Che seemed to understand and did not say anything. He stood up along with her and walked towards the sports field.
When the two reached the sandy area, Ling Chuxia suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the piece of sand, and then, she looked up and slowly curved her lips, "Back then, I really thought I was going to die here."
Shi Che’s gaze also shifted, the light in his eyes deepening, slowly, memories began to flood back.
It was a winter’s day a year ago, exceptionally cold. Ling Chuxia was in a physical education class, and the PE teacher asked her to do the long jump. Her body had always been robust, and her athletic grades were always excellent, so jumping far was trivial for her. However, that day, she didn’t know if it was something she ate, but her stomach had been uncomfortably aching, though she hadn’t thought much of it and just jumped anyway.
Unexpectedly, when she jumped, she didn’t land stably and fell onto the sandy ground, her body tipping backward, landing on her bottom.
Though it was just sand, she grimaced with pain, and her stomach stabbed with pain right then, her face turning pale, unable to stand up on her own.
When a classmate came over to help her, they saw beneath her, from her white gym pants, blood slowly seeping out, scaring the classmate stiff, "Blood... blood..."
At that time, health education wasn’t widely taught, and many girls were clueless about their own menstrual cycles. Seeing so much blood seeping from beneath her, Ling Chuxia was also bewildered, unable to react.
Suddenly, a strong and sturdy arm lifted her up, her whole body lifted into the air, Ling Chuxia looked dazedly over, meeting Shi Che’s familiar dark eyes.
All Ling Chuxia’s fear, at that moment, seemed to have found its release. She clenched Shi Che’s shoulders tightly, her face distressed, "Shi Che, what do I do? I’m bleeding so much, am I going to die?"
Shi Che’s expression was tight, holding her close, his voice deep, "Don’t spout nonsense, you’re not going to die."
Still scared, Ling Chuxia’s voice involuntarily whined, "But I’ve lost a lot of blood, my stomach hurts so much, I really feel like I am going to die!"
Shi Che paused, his dark eyes fixing on her, his thin lips parted slowly, firmly stating, "I said you’re not going to die, so you definitely won’t die!"
Ling Chuxia was never one to be easily calmed, her grip on Shi Che tightened, as irrational as ever, "If I die, you have to die with me, at least on the road to the underworld, we can keep each other company!"
Shi Che, who was initially very tense and serious, couldn’t help but be amused by Ling Chuxia’s words.
He looked at her, his voice both helpless and filled with indulgence, "Alright, alright, if you die, I’ll die with you, and I’ll never leave you alone."
