My head buzzed, and I watched as Lu Shiyan fell straight in front of me.
He vomited blood, but still smiled at me.
Zhou Fang, who was tripped by Sun Kai, was one step slower than Lu Shiyan.
When he saw Lu Shiyan blocking the bullet for me, he was also stunned for a moment, then quickly came over and raised his hand to block my eyes, "Aruan, don't look..."
I shook my head subconsciously and ran over blankly, "Senior..."
All the things Lu Shiyan had done to me in the past came flooding back to my mind in an instant.
Tears streamed down my face, I put my hand over the bleeding muzzle of his gun, and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Qiao An helped Officer Locke catch Gambi, and hurried over to arrest Sun Kai and Su Wanyu.
With Zhou Fang's help, Officer Locke helped Zhou Fang deal with Sun Kai and Su Wanyu.
Qiao An thanked them and saw them off.
Jiang Lai walked up to me and held my hand, "Ruan Ruan..."
Lu Shiyan's face gradually turned pale, and he smiled at me weakly, "I'm not okay, Nanzhi... Don't be afraid, I really am not okay."
When we were on the boat, I deeply regretted having trusted him. It was impossible for me not to feel anything when he was hurt because of me.
“Senior…”
I wiped my tears and said, "How could it be possible that there is no such thing?"
Zhou Fang had already asked Qiao An to contact the hospital and was just waiting for the medical staff to arrive.
Lu Shiyan smiled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at me was affectionate and gentle.
"I was wrong, Nanzhi, you are right, I was wrong. I said I loved you, but I have been hurting you..."
"I took the fight for you voluntarily. It was the only thing I did for you that didn't hurt your feelings."
"Nanzhi..."
He slowly raised his hand and wiped my tears. "Don't cry, never cry again, do you hear me... Even if I die, I owe you this life. The real Lu Shiyan died many, many years ago. It was you who kept me alive for all these years."
"You won't..."
"listen to me……"
A glaring stream of blood flowed from his mouth, and his strength grew weaker. He glanced at my still-flat stomach and said, "I know the loss of your last child has already caused you great pain, so... this time, the one who betrayed you can't be you."
"Nanzhi... let my merits and demerits offset each other, don't you think?"
"Senior!"
My tears burst out and my throat rolled over and over again. I could only nod my head vigorously, "Tuo...Tuo!"
Lu Shiyan smiled with relief, and the next second, the hand that was on me suddenly lost its strength and slipped away unexpectedly.
His hand dropped, his palm open, revealing a bracelet.
The doctor arrived at this time and soon pronounced him dead.
My head was buzzing and my body shook violently.
Zhou Fang held me steady, "Aruan, he... must want you to be happy too."
"Um……"
I tried my best to hold back my tears and nodded, "Just...bury him here."
"As you say."
Zhou Fang asked Qiao An to handle it.
He took me on board first.
As soon as we entered the room, I held him tightly in my arms.
He lifted me up and took me to lie on the bed.
"I'm sleepy."
Last night I seemed to be asleep, but I also seemed not to be asleep.
"Then go to sleep."
I closed my eyes, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are my mom and grandma okay? I remember there was an explosion."
Zhou Fang's eyes flickered, but I leaned on his chest and didn't see it.
"You go to sleep first."
I thought there was nothing. If there was, Zhou Fang would not have hidden it from me.
With Zhou by my side, I felt very at ease and fell asleep quickly.
I don’t know if it was because I experienced this life-and-death struggle.
I don’t know if it was because of me that I watched Lu Shiyan die in front of me.
I was dreaming.
It's all nightmares—
Finally I dreamed of my grandmother, who spoke to me with a kind face.
But I couldn't understand what she said.
It was like he was saying goodbye to me.
But why did she say goodbye to me?
"Grandma, please don't go!"
I saw my grandma leaving, shouting in her sleep, chasing after her in her sleep.
But she was walking very slowly, and I couldn't catch up with her.
Suddenly the scene changed, I stepped on empty air and woke up suddenly.
"Don't move."
I was covered in cold sweat and my calves were gripped by a force.
I frowned and gasped in pain.
As I slowly calmed down, I saw Zhou Fang massaging my calves.
"You have a cramp."
I had a cramp, but he reacted faster than me.
"Afang, how long will it take for us to get back to Jingcheng?"
Zhou Fang glanced at his watch. "About eight or nine o'clock in the evening."
I said, "I want to go straight to Grandma."
“…”
Zhou Fang was silent for a moment, "Tuo."
I felt something was wrong. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Zhou Fang bent and straightened my legs and asked me, "Are you tired?"
I stretched myself a bit and nodded, "Yes."
Zhou Fang stood up and said, "Professor Qin is on the boat. Let him give you a simple checkup."
"sorry."
Zhou Fang was obviously confused by my sudden apology, "What's wrong?"
I explained, "I just fell asleep and didn't even ask about your injury."
Zhou Fang seemed to be amused. He patted my face and said, "Even if you asked, the wound can't heal instantly."
"Besides, after what you've been through with your child, I imagine you're afraid to sleep and eat."
"Actually, I'm relieved you were able to sleep. I was worried you wouldn't be able to sleep and have health problems."
I got up from the bed and went to see his injuries.
Zhou Fang said, "They're just scrapes, the cuts aren't deep, they've been treated with medicine and bandaged."
"That's not what I want to see."
I pushed him down to sit on the edge of the bed and slightly opened his collar to look inside.
"I don't know what happened after you went into the emergency room, and then I woke up on Lu Shiyan's boat. I don't know how your injury is."
Zhou Fang held my hand and let me sit on his lap.
I didn't want to, so he pinched my face and said, "Don't worry, your weight won't crush me."
"There's no wound on my back, but..."
Seeing him suddenly serious, I thought something was wrong, so I quickly asked, "But what?"
Zhou Fang leaned his head against my shoulder and sighed, "But it's going to leave a scar. You can't despise me and leave me."
I couldn't help but feel helpless.
If he hadn't helped me block it, I might have been disfigured. How could I possibly despise him?
It doesn't matter if there's a scar, as long as the body is healthy.
"Don't worry, how could I not want you?"
Zhou Fang looked where I couldn't see him, with complicated emotions flashing across his eyes.
When he raised his head, he had returned to normal.
"I'll go call Professor Qin over and get you some food."
"Your stomach was growling while you were sleeping."
How can I not scream? I vomited everything I ate and there is nothing in my stomach.
I took his hand and shook it, "Then why don't you ask Jiang Lai to come over too? I want to talk to her."
Zhou Fang nodded and then went out.
When the door closed, the corners of my eyes drooped.
When I put my hand over my heart, it felt like it was blocked by cotton.
"Ruan Ruan."
Jiang Lai arrived faster than Professor Qin.
I guess she must be waiting at the door or next door.
"You really scared me to death."
She hugged me and continued, "That time, that crazy Jiang Chuxia rushed towards you, and I hurried to pull you back. But Zhou Fang was quicker than me, so Chi Zhan pulled me back again."
