Chapter 45

From then on, the princess's life trajectory changed completely.

Most of the time, when the tutor walked into the school, the princess had already slipped away through the back window.

However, the princess would only show up on time on the days when the painter was giving lessons, sit at the desk, and paint every stroke with extreme care.

"Princess, why didn't you skip painting class?" Jiang Jiang asked curiously as she tied the princess's wristbands. "Does the princess like painting?"

The princess lowered her head to adjust her short dress so that she could move easily. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. "Paintings... can help people remember what they want to remember." Her voice was very soft, as if she was speaking to herself.

There is an old locust tree outside the wall of the training ground, and its thick branches just extend into the yard.

The princess always climbed up the tree nimbly, hid among the dense branches and leaves, and stared intently at the teaching in the field.

Jiang Jiang was keeping watch under a tree, holding an embroidered handkerchief in her hand, ready to give a secret signal at any time.

From spring breeze to summer, from autumn frost to winter snow, the princess is always there.

She learned to do horse stance and practice boxing and kicking like the children of the nobles. However, because she had no bodyguard to correct her, her knees were often bruised and her wrists were red and swollen.

The most serious incident was when she imitated a difficult somersault and sprained her wrist, leaving her unable to move for several months.

"Princess, why do you have to work so hard..." Jiang Jiang held the princess's bandaged hand distressedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

The princess smiled and clumsily wiped away Jiang Jiang's tears with her uninjured hand. "Compared to the powerlessness when being bullied, this little injury is nothing!"

Day after day of learning allowed the princess to acquire a set of skills.

Although there is no famous teacher to guide me, the moves are not sophisticated enough, but they are practical.

Faced with a slave who relied on his master's power, she could subdue an adult eunuch within three moves.

However, whenever the princess saw the young men's smooth sword skills in the training ground, a hint of sadness would always flash in her eyes.

"It would be great if there was a tutor to teach us personally!" The princess murmured to herself as she looked at the empty training ground.

Jiang Jiang looked at the familiar figure, and the sunlight gave the princess a golden edge.

The once delicate little girl is now as agile and nimble as a little leopard.

But behind this growth are countless nights of back pain and countless bruises and scars.

"Princess, it's time to go back to the palace." Jiang Jiang called softly.

The princess nodded, but stumbled as she turned around.

Jiang Jiang quickly supported her and felt that her clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.

"It's okay." The princess waved her hands, but couldn't help but gasp. Yesterday's sparring session made her muscles protest.

It’s really hard and tiring!

Sometimes she wondered why she practiced so hard?

But when he saw Jiang Jiang's admiring eyes, his heart was filled with joy again.

In this lonely and cold palace, she only has Jiang Jiang!

"I want to protect myself and Jiang Jiang! We will no longer be bullied by others!"

"I want to protect Jiang Jiang..."

"I want to protect Jiang Jiang..."

…

"I want to protect Jiang Jiang... I must protect Jiang Jiang!"

This thought split Xiaobai's chaotic consciousness like lightning.

She watched the bodyguard raise the dagger and stab Jiang Jiang's throat, and the blood in her body seemed to boil instantly.

"stop!!"

Xiaobai let out a heart-wrenching roar and suddenly jumped up from the ground.

She picked up a glass vase beside her and hit the bodyguard on the back of the head with all her strength.

With a "bang", the vase exploded on the bodyguard's head, fragments splattered everywhere, and blood immediately flowed down the bodyguard's hair.

"Damn bitch!" The bodyguard pushed Jiang Jiang away in pain and turned to pounce on Xiaobai.

The dagger in his hand gleamed coldly under the light and pointed straight at Xiaobai's heart.

Lin Yue's pupils shrank sharply, and she screamed and rushed forward, "I told you not to kill her! She is the only experimental subject!!"

She rushed forward and hugged the bodyguard's arm tightly, but was hit in the abdomen by an elbow and staggered back a few steps.

The bodyguard was obviously blinded by rage and didn't care about anything else.

He grabbed Xiaobai's neck and lifted her off the ground, then stabbed her abdomen with the dagger.

Xiaobai twisted her body desperately, but the sharp blade still cut her side, and blood immediately soaked her clothes.

"I've already told you! She can't die!!" Lin Yue didn't know where he got the courage from, he picked up an ornament on the ground and smashed it against the bodyguard's back.

Because of the pain, the bodyguard finally let go of Xiaobai and turned around to glare at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue still beat the bodyguard with the ornament

"Get out of the way!" The bodyguard roared and waved his hand to block, but because Lin Yue hit him too hard, he was injured many times. The pain stimulated his brain, and he accidentally stabbed Lin Yue's abdomen with the dagger in his hand.

Lin Yue widened her eyes, looking at the dagger that had penetrated her body in disbelief. She slowly slid to the ground, and blood quickly formed a pool under her.

"Dr. Lin!" Assistant Zhang's face changed drastically, but seeing that Lin Yue was already unconscious and bleeding profusely, he probably couldn't be saved.

Sirens blared outside the window.

Thinking that President Wang was about to give up on Lin Yue and withdraw funding from her experiment, the assistant immediately made a decision, "Forget it, she's already been given up! The police are coming, so let's make this a quick decision!"

The bodyguard spat, drew his dagger and was about to deal a fatal blow to Xiaobai.

At the critical moment, Jiang Jiang suddenly rushed forward to block Xiaobai with strength from somewhere.

With a "puff" sound, the dagger pierced deeply into Jiang Jiang's back.

"Jiang Jiang!!" Xiaobai's scream almost tore his throat apart.

She watched Jiang Jiang collapse in her arms, blood gushing out like a fountain, instantly staining their clothes red.

The sound of sirens in the distance was getting closer.

Assistant Zhang cursed and grabbed the bodyguard who was about to make another move, "Hurry up and leave! It will be too late if we don't leave now!"

The two men fled the scene in a hurry and no longer cared about the unconscious Lin Yue.

"No! No! Jiang Jiang, don't scare me!!" Xiaobai hugged Jiang Jiang tremblingly, and tears fell on Jiang Jiang's pale face.

She pressed the wound on Jiang Jiang's back in vain, but blood still flowed out from between her fingers.

When Liang Rou rushed into the room, this was the tragic scene she saw.

She heard the noise, realized something was wrong, and called the police.

After secretly seeing the bad guys running away, he bravely went to Jiang Jiang's house.

Seeing the mess, especially Jiang Jiang and Xiaobai covered in blood, he immediately took out his cell phone and called the emergency number, his voice trembling.

Jiang Jiang's vision began to blur.

She raised her hand with difficulty and stroked Xiaobai's tear-soaked cheek, "Xiao... Bai..."

With every word he spoke, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry... I can't... accompany you..."

"No! No!" Xiaobai shook his head frantically.

She kept wiping the blood from the corner of Jiang Jiang's lips with her fingertips. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, her eyes widened.

Carefully putting Jiang Jiang on the ground, she stood up and stumbled towards the kitchen.

"Xiaobai, what are you doing?!" Liang Rou looked at Xiaobai in horror as he picked up a kitchen knife and slashed his arm.

"Get out of here! Don't stop me!" Xiaobai shouted, and pushed away Liang Rou who was trying to stop him, and the blade slashed across his left arm.

Blood immediately gushed out and dripped down her pale arm.

She ignored the pain and knelt down to pry open Jiang Jiang's mouth, "Drink it... Jiang Jiang, please drink it!!"

Liang Rou was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Xiaobai wanted to use his own blood to save Jiang Jiang!

Is Xiaobai going crazy because of the stimulation?

She hurriedly tried to stop him again, but Xiaobai had already gone crazy. He kicked Liang Rou away and slashed his arm with the knife again.

Liang Rou lay on the ground for a while before she recovered. Fortunately, Xiaobai didn't kick very hard.

She looked up at the deep wound on Xiaobai's arm, and couldn't help but gasp, "Xiaobai, wake up!!"

Xiaobai turned a deaf ear to the sound. He watched the blood stop in the blink of an eye and the wound begin to heal with his naked eyes. Without hesitation, he slashed his arm with even more force for the second and third time.

Blood flowed out, and she pressed the wound directly against Jiang Jiang's lips, squeezing it hard to make the blood flow faster.

"Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang, please..." Xiaobai's voice was already filled with tears as he prayed non-stop.

She is willing to exchange herself for Jiang Jiang!

Jiang Jiang floated in the darkness, and his mouth was filled with the taste of rust.

She swallowed instinctively, and a strange warmth spread from her throat to her whole body.

"Jiang Jiang, I beg you, don't, don't, leave me..." Xiaobai's voice became weaker and weaker. Her face was paler than Jiang Jiang's. Her whole body was shaky, but she still squeezed the wound stubbornly.

Liang Rou hurriedly looked for a towel to stop Xiaobai's bleeding, but found that Xiaobai's wound seemed to heal differently from that of ordinary people.

The sirens finally sounded downstairs, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Liang Rou looked at Xiaobai with inquiry and vigilance in her eyes.

Finally, when the elevator reached this floor, he asked, "Do you want to leave first?"

Xiaobai didn't answer and continued to try to get Jiang Jiang to drink more blood.

Downstairs, the sound of an ambulance was heard.

Liang Rou spoke again, "If not for yourself, think about Jiang Jiang too!"

Xiaobai finally took action and looked up at Liang Rou.

"The ambulance is here, she will be fine!" Liang Rou looked at Xiaobai.

Xiaobai paused for two seconds, nodded and said, "Thank you!"

As she spoke, she reluctantly let go of Jiang Jiang and jumped off the balcony before the police arrived.

Liang Rou was startled and walked over quickly, but found no sign of anyone.

…

In the hospital.

The lights in the operating room were always on.

Jiang Hai rushed over after hearing the news and signed the critical illness notice with trembling hands.

He sat at the door of the operating room, holding his head in his hands, and kept muttering to himself, "God, I beg you! I beg you!!"

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a century, the lights in the operating room went out and the doctor came out.

Jiang Hai and Liang Rou quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"What a miracle!" The doctor took off his mask, his face filled with disbelief. "He actually survived with a penetrating heart wound! But luckily, he was brought in just in time..."

The doctor didn't think much of it and thought it was just an isolated case.

Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief, his legs softened, and he sat on the ground.

…

Jiang Jiang was floating in the darkness.

She didn't know where she was or what she was doing.

Am I dead?

It turns out that the world of the future is so dark and lonely!

When she regained consciousness, she found herself walking on the road with a group of girls.

She wanted to ask where this place was, but found that she was completely out of control. She walked into a luxurious palace with a group of girls with their heads lowered.

"Bai'er, take a look. Whichever one you like, I will let her be your personal maid!"

A graceful and elegant woman came over holding the hand of a five or six-year-old girl dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Jiang Jiang didn't know why, but her heart was filled with panic and tension.

The girl in gorgeous clothes was very cute, with round eyes, chubby cheeks, and two buns on her hair.

She stood with her hands behind her back like a little adult, looking at everyone one by one and asking their names.

When the girl looked at her, nervousness filled her heart, causing her fingertips to tremble unconsciously.

"May I have your name?"

The girl's childish voice sounded.

Jiang Jiang didn't know how to answer, but she couldn't help but open her mouth, "Reporting to the princess, my name is Jiang Daya..."

She was stunned, not quite understanding what this unconventional name was.

Before she could react, a white and tender little hand stretched out in front of her.

"Then are you willing to follow me?"

Jiang Jiang was bewildered, but didn't dare to refuse, and quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude, "I am willing!"

But he never thought that the white, tender and chubby little hand would hold his rough hand.

She trembled subconsciously, fearing that her rough hands would hurt the girl's fair hands.

"Mother, I want her!" The girl took Jiang Jiang's hand and looked up at the graceful and elegant woman.

The woman smiled amiably and said, "Okay!"

The girl pulled Jiang Jiang towards the palace, saying as they walked, "Your name isn't nice, but I like your last name. Which Jiang is that? Is it the Jiang in Yanshan Jiang?"

Jiang Jiang wanted to answer no, but she couldn't help shaking her head, "I don't know, I can't read."

The little princess stood there, looking up at her with a smile on her face. "Yanshan Jiang is very beautiful! You are also good-looking. So from now on, your name will be Jiang Jiang!"
