“Ye Sijue!” Annie cried out. She saw the two bloody holes in his hand and inhaled sharply in fear, cupping a hand over her mouth.
“My goodness… How did this happen… What should we do…”
He had been bitten by the cobra!
Ye Sijue had lost a fair amount of blood earlier, and he was still sick. In addition, the venom from the bite was coursing through him, causing him to almost faint.
Annie was trembling violently. She fell down beside him and looked at the two bloody holes helplessly.
Darkly-tinged blood was flowing out and it looked horrific.
“What do we do… what do we do…” She was so frantic that cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her pale face looked as though the sky had fallen.
The person who had been holding the sky up for her, Ye Sijue, had collapsed.
If this continued, he would die…
The words “he would die” flashed in Annie’s mind and she felt as though her heart were going to stop.
No…
He couldn’t die!
Annie was panicking when an idea flashed across her mind.
She gripped Ye Sijue’s arm forcefully, intending to lower her head and suck the venom out.
“No… are you crazy?” Ye Sijue, who was about to faint, gritted his teeth and held on. In a weak voice, he tried to stop her suicidal action.
“I-I’m helping you!” she stuttered.
Ye Sijue’s eyelids were about to close and he looked as though he were about to faint at any moment.
He bit his lip hard, trying to use the pain to stay conscious.
“That’s not going to work… It’s just something that’s seen on TV. You’ll be poisoned too…” His voice was getting weaker and weaker.
“I’m not afraid. I don’t care if I get poisoned!” Annie said resolutely. Tears fell from her wet eyes as she gazed at him.
“You won’t be able to get rid of the poison and you’ll be poisoned too… are you trying to die with me?” Ye Sijue laughed. He hadn’t imagined that he could laugh when he was at death’s door.
Annie blurted, “I’ll die with you then!”
She gripped his arm fiercely as tears gushed from her eyes.
If he died, then she didn’t want to live either!
She had never felt such emotion.
It was at this moment that she really embraced the idea of dying alongside him.
Ye Sijue’s heart shook, and he looked into her eyes steadily.
Silly girl…
However, he felt joy and warmth bloom in his heart.
Even though she wouldn’t cancel her engagement for him, she still chose to be with him when he was at the crossroads of life and death.
Ye Sijue couldn’t help but laugh.
If he died right then and there he would have died with no regrets.
No, he would still have regrets.
He would regret not being able to love her. He would regret not starting a family with her.
“Ye Sijue… Ye Sijue! No… Don’t close your eyes! No!” Annie cried.
