"Senior, I know, I know!" She had guessed it a long time ago, a man who didn’t care about her background, didn’t care about her past, and didn’t even mind her appearance.
What else could it be, other than love?
Xing Yi grasped her hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Yixun, how I wish... how I wish to see you in a wedding dress for me, how I wish, someday, we could grow old together. But now, it seems, this wish cannot be fulfilled."
Lin Yixun shook her head vigorously, "No, Senior! I’m willing to marry you, I’m willing to be your wife!"
"It’s so good... so good to hear you say it yourself." The man lifted his pale, handsome face into a weak smile, looked up at the sky, and said bitterly, "Unfortunately, I fear... I fear I will disappoint you."
"No, Xing Yi. You can’t go back on your word, you promised me, you promised you would take care of me for the rest of my life!"
At this moment, the sound of an ambulance came from a distance. Lin Yixun looked towards the direction of the road and saw an ambulance speeding towards them.
"Xing Yi, do you see that? The ambulance is here! You are saved!" She couldn’t help but feel a bit of joy and looked down at the man in her arms, but the smile on her face shattered in the next instant.
She didn’t know when, but the man had already closed his eyes. He lay silently in her arms, as if he were simply asleep.
Lin Yixun reached out a trembling finger and tested the man’s breath. Her finger stiffened mid-air, and she collapsed weakly to the ground.
How could this be? How was this possible? Just moments ago, he was still talking to her. How could he now be not breathing?
She jumped up from the ground, turned and rushed to the roadside, grabbing a doctor who had just gotten out of the ambulance, and said in a panic, "Doctor! Save him! Please save him!"
"Where is the patient?"
The doctor quickly came to Xing Yi and examined him. After a long moment, he slowly stood up and shook his head at Lin Yixun.
"I’m sorry, Miss. The patient has already passed away, there’s nothing we can do."
Lin Yixun staggered back a few steps, shaking her head in disbelief, "How could that be? He was just talking to me. Doctor, please check him again, there must be a mistake, there must be a mistake!"
"Miss, we understand your feelings. However, the patient has indeed stopped breathing. We doctors can only save the living, we are powerless against the dead."
The doctor saw Lin Yixun standing there, pale and still refusing to accept the truth. He couldn’t help but shake his head. He had seen this situation many times. No one involved could ever accept such a tragedy willingly.
He turned and walked to the car’s driver seat and found the driver was still breathing. He told the nurse behind him, "There is another injured person alive, take him to the hospital for treatment first."
Lin Yixun had never thought she would experience life and death so personally. Even more so, she had never imagined that one moment she would be chatting and laughing with Xing Yi, and the next, disaster would befall them.
On the night of receiving the news of Xing Yi’s death, his parents took a plane back to T City overnight. After learning the whole story, his mother stepped forward and gave Lin Yixun a harsh slap.
"Why wasn’t it you who died?"
