To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
Chu Xing immediately joined the search. Looking at the dark jungle, he couldn't imagine what Song Mai might have gone through.
He plunged headlong into the deep, dark forest, raised his flashlight, and walked steadily into the depths.
When Song Mai woke up, a rabbit was gently sniffing her scent.
Suddenly seeing an animal in front of her, she instinctively sat up, but then a sharp pain shot through her body.
It felt like I'd been punched twice hard in the back, and I couldn't straighten up.
Blood slowly seeped from his leg; his snow-white skin was scratched by a tree branch, a shocking sight.
She took a deep breath. Fortunately, her pants were also torn and ripped, so she could quickly tear them off to bandage her wound.
After dealing with all of this, by the dim moonlight, it could be discerned that this place was a mountain stream.
The entire jungle was so quiet that only the call of the cuckoo could be heard, and the faint sound of a stream could be heard in the distance. She happily got up.
I endured the pain and slowly walked forward.
As long as you follow the current, you'll definitely find a way out.
Many people living in the mountains choose to live near water, firstly for convenience, and secondly for easy transportation.
She walked forward happily, but every step felt like a knife was cutting into her legs, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
If you can't see the road ahead, you can only walk slower.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and could no longer get up.
Gazing quietly at the bright moonlight, she suddenly remembered a conversation she had had with Chu Xing about how she loved the idea of walking to the end of a stream and sitting down to watch the clouds rise.
And they dream of one day living a leisurely and carefree life in the mountains.
I never imagined I would die here.
That can be considered a dream come true.
Song Mai closed her eyes with a self-deprecating smile, letting the wind blow across her forehead, and the sounds of various insects chirping all around her.
Surprisingly, she wasn't afraid at all; she even calmly accepted her fate.
I felt the blood slowly seeping out of my legs, and it gave me a feeling that my life was slipping away with it.
I wonder what Chu Xing is doing right now. Does he know he's about to die?
She frowned, still feeling somewhat uneasy.
Chu Xing is probably the only relative in the world who worries about his life or death.
The word "family" felt foreign to Song Mai, since the only time she had ever felt cared for by her family was when they learned that she could be exchanged for 500,000 yuan.
Actually, meeting Chu Xing is a kind of luck, isn't it?
She smiled, closed her eyes, and calmly awaited death.
"Songmai!"
Suddenly, Chu Xing's voice came from beside her. Song Mai's eyes widened and she subconsciously frowned.
How could this be? Chu Xing is busy with work, how could he be here?
I've heard that people experience hallucinations before they die; this must be happening now.
"Songmai—"
Chu Xing's voice came clearly again, and Song Mai realized that this was not an illusion.
She immediately scrambled to her feet, ignoring her pain, and shouted back, "I'm here!"
With a rustling sound, one flashlight after another appeared in the distance.
A person strode up to him; this figure was none other than Chu Xing.
He held Song Mai tightly in his arms, unwilling to be separated from her again.
The police officers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Fortunately, the person was found successfully, which can be considered as completing the initial task.
Chu Xing noticed her wound and immediately picked her up in his arms, saying, "I'm sorry I'm late."
All the pent-up grievances in her heart erupted at that moment. Song Mai buried her face in his chest and gently shook her head.
Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke: "No, you came just in time."
Chu Xing felt heartbroken and kept gently comforting her.
The police drove the two to a hospital in the city. The moment the test results came out, the doctor couldn't help but marvel at Song Mai's tenacious vitality.
"I really didn't expect that despite having broken ribs, a broken leg, and multiple bruises, he didn't even cry out in pain." The doctor couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Song Mai was extremely weak in her hospital bed, but she forced a smile.
Chu Xing sat down beside her and gently took her hand.
She was covered in wounds, her face pale as she looked at Chu Xing, and she was extremely weak.
Chu Xing tenderly stroked her cheek and whispered, "I'm sorry you had to go through this."
Song Mai shook her head: "You have no idea how happy I was when I saw you come."
If it weren't for him, I'd be dead by now. I never imagined my dying wish would come true...
Chu Xing frowned. Was her wish to see him?
This feeling of being relied upon warmed Chu Xing's heart.
He didn't feel he had a weakness; on the contrary, he felt fortunate to have someone he could cherish.
Jiang Jibai rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief after learning about Song Mai's situation.
"The doctors here have handled it well; he just needs to rest." Jiang Jibai knew him well; with such a serious incident involving Song Mai, they naturally wouldn't let these people off easily.
He then asked worriedly, "What do you plan to do now?"
"Eliminate it."
The two short words startled Jiang Jibai. He subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice: "Aren't you afraid that Song Mai will find out your identity?"
Having done so much during this period, any intelligent person who thinks about it carefully will realize that Chu Xing's identity is suspicious.
If Song Mai hadn't been so carefree, they probably would have broken up by now.
"This is not something you need to worry about," Chu Xing said in a low voice, frowning.
"Don't say I didn't advise you; it's better to tell her the truth sooner rather than later."
Jiang Jibai's words made Chu Xing fall into deep thought as he pondered when to reveal his true identity to the other party.
However, now is not the right time.
Back in the ward, I found that Song Mai was not resting, but was instead continuing to review work documents.
Chu Xing gently pulled the documents from her hand with his strong, powerful hand: "No matter how big the problem is, nothing is more important than your health. Get some sleep and then look at them."
“This project is extremely important, and we can’t afford to delay it. Completing this project will bring me one step closer to promotion.” Song Mai completely relaxed, a faint smile on her face, and began to look forward to the future.
Chu Xing couldn't bear it, and sat down with a slight hesitation, as if he had made up his mind.
"Actually, you don't have to work so hard."
Song Mai couldn't help but chuckle at his serious expression, and said with a smile, "I can't let you support me for the rest of my life. You work so hard, so naturally I have to work hard too."
"I……
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xing's phone rang.
He subconsciously got up, went outside to answer the phone, leaving Song Mai alone, completely bewildered.
