I guess Mr. Li must have gone through the same thing as I did, so we have a tacit understanding.
“What is so special about your blood? What did your parents feed you?” Lin Ran whispered.
How would I know?
Mr. Li sighed, “This is all a horrible joke by God!”
I was about to ask him, but the car stopped.
We had arrived. It was the presidential palace.
Even though we were in a small island country, the palace was dignified and luxurious, and it was very imposing. But honestly speaking, I felt that my parents’ place was even more imposing and luxurious than this place.
The main door opened, and the car drove directly to the backyard.
Lin Ran explained, “Jing Tian’s aunt is the Madam President. Jing Tian is recuperating here, so he has been living in a small courtyard in the backyard. It’s very quiet, and Madam doesn’t allow anyone to disturb him.”
The car stopped.
Someone came forward and opened the car door. I got out of the car, and a slightly choked voice came from behind me, “Miss Nanxing.”
I turned around and saw a tall man standing behind me. He was wearing a black suit and looked very cold and resolute, but his eyes were a little red.
I looked at him. He didn’t seem unfamiliar to me, but I didn’t remember him. I always felt so bad at times like this.
“I’m Gao Da,” he said softly. The smile on his lips softened the cold and resolute lines on his face. “You’ve always called me Brother Gao Da. I also have a sworn brother. His name is Gao Jing. You always call him Brother Xiao Jing.” His voice was also very gentle.
“Brother Gao Da.” I looked at him.
“Miss Nanxing.” He answered me.
“Brother Xiao Jing,” I muttered.
“Gao Jing is in the country. He will come over in a few days,” he explained to me.
I looked at him and felt that he was very friendly.
“Brother Gao Da, I’m sorry. I can’t remember what happened in the past,” I explained to him.
He nodded. “It’s alright, Miss. It doesn’t matter whether you have memories or not. As long as you’re alright, it’s fine. Master Qi is inside. He’s heavily injured and has been unconscious. Please go in, Miss.”
“Alright.” I followed Lin Ran into the room.
The person on the bed looked pale and haggard. His pitch-black hair fell on the snow-white pillow, making him look extremely fragile.
My breathing suddenly stopped. My heart ached so much that it felt like it was being grabbed.
When I saw him at the mall that day, I didn’t feel such a strong feeling. My heart was moved, but it didn’t hurt as much as this.
My legs gave way, and I almost fell down.
Lin Ran was quick to hold me.
“Nanxing, what’s wrong?”
I couldn’t say anything. I reached out my hand to the person in bed. However, I couldn’t move my feet. Every step was like stepping on cotton. My face was ice-cold. I reached out to wipe my face, but tears were already streaming down my face.
I used Lin Ran as my support and used all my strength to reach the side of the bed. I pushed Lin Ran away and immediately knelt down.
My body and my tears were no longer mine.
I trembled and gently held his exposed hand.
I thought that his hand would be very cold, but my hand was even colder than his hand.
My tears burst like a dam. My mind split into two.
One version of me asked, “Why are you so sad?”
The other me answered, “I don’t know. I’m just sad. My heart is about to break. I can’t bear to see him like this. It hurts too much. I am willing to take his place to suffer on his behalf.”
I placed his hand on my face. My face wasn’t even as big as his palm. The warmth of his palm made my heart suddenly calm down. I had never felt so safe before..
