Ye Yun is dead.
Qin Zheng also died alongside her.
Just moments before, the man had been gripping her wrist tightly, his eyes bloodshot, ignoring the bloodstains on his face and body from the rocks and branches in the floodwaters, yet he remained steadfast and determined to pull her ashore from the raging torrent.
The next second, a falling rock slammed into his head.
A blinding crimson quickly filled his eyes. Weak and remorseful, he gazed at her, and with his last ounce of strength, he said apologetically, "Wife... I'm sorry, I failed to protect you again this time. In the next life, you must be my wife again. I will never let you suffer again..."
Warm blood washed over her face with the splash of water, still carrying his lingering warmth.
She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe her eyes and helplessly watching Qin Zheng's life slip away before her eyes, watching his tall body being swept away like driftwood into the raging flood.
Overwhelmed by deep regret and remorse, she felt a surge of guilt that seemed to devour her heart like a thousand ants, and finally broke down in tears.
"Qin Zheng... Qin Zheng..."
Looking back on her tragic life...
Abandoned by her parents, forced into marriage, miscarried, and lost both legs... The one who risked his life to save her in the end was the man she hated to the core.
...
"Time to go to the bridal chamber!"
Despite the overwhelming noise, Ye Yun felt a splitting headache. She tried her best to open her eyes, and the sight before her made her sit up abruptly.
The mud houses, made of straw and old furniture, with dilapidated furniture placed against the walls, perfectly depict a scene from a bygone era.
And on the old window covered with old newspapers, a large red "double happiness" character was prominently pasted on it.
Even her body was dressed in a bright red long dress, the unremarkable fabric covering her skeletal frame. A small red silk flower, about the size of a palm, was pinned to her chest, and the word "bride" was clearly written in calligraphy on a strip of cloth tucked under the flower.
She...she's dead, isn't she?
"Awake? Have something to eat." Suddenly, a deep, familiar voice reached my ears.
Ye Yun was startled.
She turned her head and saw the man standing right next to the kang (a heated brick bed), and she froze like a statue.
Qin Zheng... is the living Qin Zheng!
The man was bending down to place a plate of food on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). He had a face with features so hard they gave off a fierce impression, but for some reason, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes at that moment.
Seeing that familiar face again, a thousand emotions welled up in Ye Yun's eyes, bringing tears to her eyes.
She hated Qin Zheng so much...
She hated Qin Zheng for taking advantage of her kindness and forcing her to marry him. She hated him for leaving her alone to deal with his extended family of aunts and sisters-in-law, for being bullied to the point of miscarriage, and for having her leg broken during her postpartum period.
However, after she signed the divorce papers, Qin Zheng quietly reappeared in her world.
He dared not see her in person, but would always secretly follow behind her, looking at her with eyes that seemed to be full of heartache and regret, protecting her, and constantly asking people to apologize to her for what happened back then.
But she hated him to the core because of the child who never had a chance to be born.
But she never expected that Qin Zheng would sacrifice his life to save her, dying in the flood together with her.
What an idiot.
He could have been unharmed.
But when the flood mercilessly claimed lives, he foolishly ran to find her living at the foot of the mountain, knowing that she was doomed, yet still tried to save her, a cripple with both legs broken.
Fortunately, fate smiled upon her and she was reborn on the day she had just married Qin Zheng.
It's not too late for everything.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Ye Yun trembled involuntarily, her throat choked with emotion, unable to utter a single word.
Qin Zheng saw her like this and thought she was crying because she didn't want to marry him. He frowned and said in a deep, cold voice, "Today is a joyous day after all. Don't make a fuss. After the wedding, you can live your life or I can live mine. I won't tie you down."
Ye Yun's eyes stung even more.
At that time, Qin Zheng had just learned that she was unwilling to accept the marriage and wanted to break up with her!
