Chapter 8 / Section 1: The Milky Way Dyed Red
If he doesn't stop her, she will choose painful paths again and again. But if he does stop her, he feels incredibly selfish. He can't bear to part with her because he fell in love with her the moment he met her.
Mu Xinghe was determined to take Jing Moran away, but Jing Moran only had Xiong Yingguang in his heart—the one he was related to by blood and the only person he wanted to protect.
Mu Xinghe was willing to give anything to bring Jing Moran back to Nanning, Yongzhou, but he never expected that Jing Moran would always be thinking about Xiong Yingguang, who disliked him and didn't want to care about him.
"Jing Moran, I beg you to come back to Nanning with me! Go back to that world where it was just the two of them, go back to your father's side, okay?" Mu Xinghe said to Jing Moran.
"Mu Xinghe, I'm sorry... I don't want to go back to Yongzhou anymore," Jing Moran replied softly.
"Why, why is Xiong Yingguang the only one in your heart? Why are others unimportant?" Mu Xinghe's tears fell drop by drop. She knew that only in this way could she win back Jing Moran's heart, but she still couldn't compare to Xiong Yingguang's importance in Jing Moran's heart.
"Mu Xinghe, wake up. In my heart, you're just an ordinary friend. If you insist on this, then they can't even be friends anymore," Jing Moran said calmly.
At this moment, these words floated into Jing Mo Ran's mind. He wished he wouldn't be so willful and would let Mu Xing He stay with him, but his blood kept flowing.
Jing Mo Ran saw Xiong Ying Guang lying on the ground in the distance, slowly crawling towards him. Xiong Ying Guang was also bleeding, and Jing Mo Ran slowly closed his eyes.
"Jing Moran, wake up! Wake up! I won't be willful anymore, I beg you to wake up, don't sleep!" Mu Xinghe cried out.
Upon hearing from the security guard that an accident had occurred at the Chen Group, Haiyang rushed back. He hurriedly drove back to the Chen Group, and the bustling crowds along the way reminded him of the scene when Chen Yao left.
This time, it was Lu Xixue, Cang Ruoxi, and Lu Xiyao who pushed open the door of the Chen Group. Lu Xiyao quickly helped Xiong Yingguang up, Lu Xixue helped Jing Moran up, and Cang Ruoxi dialed 120.
Xiong Yingguang was already unconscious, which made Lu Xiyao even more worried. He loved Xiong Yingguang so much, how could he bear to see her injured? This was the most blood Lu Xiyao had ever seen Xiong Yingguang bleed.
Lu Xiyao knew that Xiong Yingguang was painless, but she wouldn't stab herself to make herself bleed; that blood alone could kill Xiong Yingguang in an instant. Now, Xiong Yingguang was all alone, without any family support. The only person related to her by blood, Jing Moran, was also hated by Xiong Yingguang.
When the ambulance arrived, the nurses and doctors quickly carried the stretchers into the lobby of the Chen Group and lifted Xiong Yingguang and Jing Moran into the ambulance. Lu Xiyao, Lu Xixue, and Cang Ruoxi followed.
"Lu Xiyao, hurry up and catch up! What are you daydreaming about?" Lu Xixue urged.
"Oh, oh! I'll go right now." Lu Xiyao came back to her senses.
Lu Xiyao glanced at the pool of blood behind him and felt that the murderer must be no ordinary person, because anyone who could break into the Chen Group must be either a big shot or a thug deeply hidden in the underworld.
"Hurry up and catch up!"
"They're here..."
"What are you thinking about?" Cang Ruoxi asked.
"Sister, I think the murderer must be someone extraordinary. I'm thinking of finding him when the time comes," Lu Xiyao said in a low voice.
"Don't think about that now, let's get to the hospital first, saving lives is the priority!" Lu Xixue advised.
"Um."
As he boarded the ambulance, Lu Xiyao chose to stay in the ambulance with Xiong Yingguang. He wanted to hold Xiong Yingguang's hand and give her warmth, afraid that she would feel scared while she was unconscious.
Cang Ruoxi leaned closer and said, "Lu Xiyao, you care a lot about Xiong Yingguang, don't you? Have you fallen for her?"
"I just like her, otherwise why would I care about her so unconditionally?" Lu Xiyao confessed.
"Then you must make sure she stays away from Jing Moran. The people Xiong Yingguang hates the most are Jing Moran and Jing Moran's father, Jing Tongyu. If her father hadn't been so promiscuous, Xiong Yingguang wouldn't have ended up in a single-parent family. Xiong Yingguang and Jing Moran were originally the best of siblings," Cang Ruoxi sighed.
"I will never let Jing Mozhan hurt Xiong Yingguang," Lu Xiyao said firmly.
He knew there were many things he couldn't do, but he still tried his best and did everything he could for her. As long as she could live well and happily every day, he was willing to endure all the pain for her.
From the first time Lu Xiyao met Chen Yao, Chen Yao told him to get to know Xiong Yingguang better so he could become her future son-in-law. But Chen Yao never got to see that day.
As he passed by her house, he had already fallen in love with her lips, with the air she breathed. He cared deeply about her every word, every action. Perhaps he could no longer forget her; she was now etched in his mind. He only wanted her to recover quickly, to wake up, look into his eyes, and tell him if he could spend the rest of his life with her.
"Lu Xiyao, wake up! Wake up! We're at the hospital now." Cang Ruoxi patted Lu Xiyao, shattering her sweet dream.
"Ah, we've arrived..."
The nurses carried Xiong Yingguang and Jing Mozhan out of the car, and the doctor followed them down.
Lu Xixue came over and patted Lu Xiyao, saying, "Go ahead, Xiong Yingguang needs you. As for Cang Ruoxi, you should go too."
"Sis, aren't you going in?"
“I want to go see Chen Yao with Haiyang,” Lu Xixue said softly.
Because Chen Yao had raised Lu Xixue and Lu Xiyao, the siblings would have starved to death on the roadside long ago if Chen Yao hadn't taken them in.
Mu Xinghe suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number; it was Lu Xixue. Mu Xinghe's expression changed from blank to panicked.
"Are you free? Come all the way from Yongzhou to Yantai Shanshan Hospital. Your Jing Mozhan is in trouble..."
Mu Xinghe's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly hung up the phone. She ran out and asked her father to book her a plane ticket to Yantai, Shandong.
Mu Xinghai knew that his daughter couldn't let go of Xiong Yingguang, but this time he didn't stop her. Instead, he sent Mu Xinghe to Yantai, Shandong to find Jing Moran.
He knew that upon hearing the news of his accident, his heart would be unable to stop, and his nerves would be constantly on edge. He cared about him so much, and couldn't bear to let the people around him possess him, so everything he did was for him.
At that moment, he knew that losing him would be excruciating and unbearable. But for him, it was still the same as at the beginning: he wanted to hold him in his arms and watch the starry sky with him, because with him by his side, he would have more confidence to keep going.
He knew how to care and cherish people. The affection hidden in those subtle moments could only become a barrier between them due to distance. He'd rather have nothing than lose him. He was ill, and he was the medicine that suppressed his illness. In the instant tears fell, he suddenly understood that he too could experience the joys and sorrows of ordinary people…
