As the woman was falling to the ground, Qing Yuan came to his senses and immediately stepped forward to catch her body.
Just like a blooming rose, the blood on her chest had stained her clothes red.
Qing Yuan’s hands were trembling as he desperately pressed his hands against the woman’s chest, hoping to stop her from bleeding out.
However, the fresh blood was just like the spring water that flowed continuously. No matter how hard he tried, he had no way to stop it from oozing out.
“Cough! Cough!” The white-dressed girl spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She caressed Qing Yuan’s face with her trembling finger, as the corners of her lips lifted into a smile.
Finally… she was back by his side again.
Although it was quite drastic for her to show up this way, she… did not regret it!
“No, you can’t die!” Qing Yuan was shivering as his handsome face turned pale. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow. “You haven’t told me what’s going on, you must not die. Tell me, we’ve met before, haven’t we?!”
The white girl held his hand with her shivering hand. Then, she slowly opened up his palm and used her cold fingertip to trace three words on his palm.
Slowly, she wrote. However, Qing Yuan’s body stiffened more with every word that she traced. He gritted his teeth, and he felt as if many blades were slashing at his heart…
The Heartless Mountain.
***
Back then, within the Heartless Mountain, he was hunted by Fengyun Manor’s enemies. He was forced to jump off the cliff.
The cliff was not high, but there were ferocious beasts at the bottom of the cliff.
He would never forget the time when he was at the foot of the Heartless Mountain where many beasts had tried to attack him when a worried figure suddenly stood protectively in front of him.
He could not see that girl’s face clearly as he had lost his power. Until now, he still had not forgotten that pair of caring and worried eyes.
When he woke up, he saw Ziyan first, so it was natural for him to regard Ziyan as that girl.
He loved her kindness, her gentleness, and her selfless courage.
But now…
Looking at this hideous face that had shown up before his eyes, his heart prickled with pain.
Tears silently flowed down his cheeks and seeped into his mouth, filling it with a taste of bitterness.
He had made a mistake…
He had mistaken all this while!
He had fallen for the wrong person, and had even protected the wrong person!
The white-dressed girl tightly held onto Qing Yuan’s hand, as her cold fingertip continued to trace words on his palm.
“Ten years ago, at the foot of a mountain, saved a girl… ”
The corners of the white-dressed girl were still lifted with a gentle smile.
She looked ugly, but her eyes were clear and bright.
However, her breathing started to slow as she had lost too much blood, and her face had turned pale as well. Just like a fallen leaf, she seemed like she would float away from Qing Yuan’s arms any time now.
Qing Yuan’s arms, which was carrying the white-dressed girl, trembled. His handsome face was filled with grief.
It turned out…
They were strongly fated since destiny had already brought them together ten years ago.
However, he was ignorant all this time.
“Ten years ago, I have saved you from those scoundrels and you saved me one year ago. We are even, we are literally even! Why do you still try to save me? Why?!”
The youth cried out hysterically, even the other people present were somehow moved.
The white-dressed girl gently held onto his hand and lovingly traced the last words in his palm.
“Because I like you… ”
‘Because I like you, so I saved you from those ferocious beasts one year ago, not caring about all the danger.’
