Chapter 279: Absurdity Until Death
The moment the tip of the hairpin pierced the skin, a sharp pain came.
Lu Yunzheng was stunned, his mind went blank. He just stared at Gu Xizhi, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion.
But in a flash, a sharp pain spread, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
There are some things that even if he tries to forget, his body will always remember them.
Such familiar and unbearable pain made the unforgettable scene from the previous life reappear before his eyes.
That day, in the Jingxi Villa.
Shen Jiasui did the same, thrusting the hairpin fiercely into his neck!
The cold touch, the piercing pain, and Shen Jiasui's eyes full of despair and hatred...
"Lu Yunzheng!"
The weeping and bloody screams echoed in my ears.
Everything was like a nightmare coming back to him, enveloping him in an instant.
That was a real death threat!
Lu Yunzheng's breathing suddenly became rapid and disordered. In extreme fear, he instinctively put all his strength into a desperate fight.
The palm wind whistled, carrying with it his anger, fear and unwillingness, and hit Gu Xizhi's chest hard!
Bang--
Under such a powerful palm force, Gu Xizhi was instantly knocked away.
Her back hit the window hard, making a dull sound, and then her whole body fell limply to the ground.
The dust was disturbed and flew around in panic in the mottled sunlight under the window.
Gu Xizhi raised her head in a trance, and felt that all her internal organs had shifted. As soon as she opened her mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out uncontrollably.
The bright red blood mist and dust entangled together, and dripped onto the ground.
Gu Xizhi subconsciously lowered her head and her eyes fell on her own palms.
The moment she was slapped away, she subconsciously clenched her hands and the hairpin was pulled out inadvertently.
The tip of the hairpin was still stained with Lu Yunzheng's blood. The glaring red color fell into Gu Xizhi's eyes, making her smile foolishly and tears flow.
She looked hard at the place not far away and saw Lu Yunzheng covering his neck tightly with his hands.
Blood oozed from between his fingers, staining his collar and shoulders red. He looked so scared, his whole body was shaking.
Lu Yunzheng only felt a bone-chilling chill coming from the wound, making him shiver uncontrollably.
He tightly covered the bleeding wound on his neck, but the warm blood still oozed out, forming a strange and terrifying contrast with his cold palm.
Every drop of blood lost seemed to take away his life force. He wanted to stand up, but his legs and feet were weak.
However, the instinct for survival still drove him to crawl towards the door with all his strength.
No, he didn't want to die, he couldn't die.
Clearly, he and his father had just agreed last night that they would fight together...
Daddy... Daddy...
Tears welled up in Lu Yunzheng's eyes as he gritted his teeth and crawled towards the door, leaving a crooked, shocking trail of blood behind him, leaving behind the miserable mark of his struggle for survival.
Gu Xizhi's eyes followed Lu Yunzheng all the time. Seeing him getting farther and farther away, she moved her lips, and with blood flowing out of her mouth, she called out vaguely:
"Yun Zheng——"
Lu Yunzheng was only trying to survive, the only sound in his ears was his own breathing. How could he hear Gu Xizhi's voice?
What's more, even if he heard it clearly, there was no way he could turn back.
Gu Xizhi felt her vision becoming increasingly blurred, and soon, even the little strength she had left was exhausted. Her head tilted weakly to one side, and her cheek rested on the dusty ground.
Her vision began to blur, but she still tried to keep her eyes open.
She saw Lu Yunzheng struggling to raise his hand to knock on the door.
Bang Bang——
There was soon a noise outside the house, and then the door was opened.
A beam of light suddenly shone in, causing Gu Xizhi to squint subconsciously.
Lu Yunzheng, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, threw himself forward and fell on the doorstep.
Suddenly, the eunuchs outside the door cried out in panic and confusion.
"Mr. Lu!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"Imperial Physician! Call in the Imperial Physician!"
There were chaotic footsteps coming and going, and someone helped Lu Yunzheng up.
Gu Xizhi stared at the scene closely, and her breathing became increasingly labored.
But what was strange was that at this moment, Gu Xizhi actually curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Alright, alright..."
She whispered softly, her voice so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by the wind.
At this moment, her consciousness was already blurred, and all the noise around her seemed to have faded away.
But what Gu Xizhi herself did not expect was that the person who broke into her consciousness at the last moment of her life was Shen Jiasui.
"Do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
In the villa, she knelt beside Mother Mo's body with lifeless eyes. When she was completely hopeless, Shen Jiasui suddenly asked her this.
She looked up when she heard the voice and saw Shen Jiasui standing in front of her with his back to the light, his expression gloomy.
She didn't answer.
At this time, Shen Jiasui suddenly leaned over and picked up the hairpin that she had dropped on the ground.
This hairpin is special.
The tip of the hairpin was sharpened to a very point. She had learned from the lesson she learned on the Lantern Festival and put it in her hair just in case.
She regretted every night when she suffered excruciating pain from a broken wrist.
If her hairpin was sharp enough that day, then when it cut Shen Jiasui's palm, it must have severed Shen Jiasui's tendons!
She thought Shen Jiasui was going to use this hairpin to kill her, so she simply accepted her fate and closed her eyes.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, she felt a weight in her hair, and it turned out that it was Shen Jiasui who put the hairpin back for her.
She originally couldn't figure out what Shen Jiasui's intention was.
At this moment, she understood.
Shen Jiasui clearly guessed that she would not be willing to die alone, so he left her "a knife", a knife that stabbed Yun Zheng.
Yes, she and Yun Zheng were equally wrong, so why was she the only one to die in the end?
Even if it means death, Yun Zheng should stay with her!
She was thinking this until the moment before she pulled out the hairpin.
But looking at Yun Zheng's face, thinking that he came back just because of her shouting, she finally...
Human heart...
A hint of self-mockery flashed through Gu Xizhi's mind, but in the next instant a hint of pride overflowed from her.
Shen Jiasui, human hearts are like the sea, how can you predict everything so accurately every time?
Unfortunately, I can no longer see the look of surprise on your face when you heard the news.
I really can't accept this...
I, Gu Xizhi, fell into the dust and died in such a miserable way, but you, Shen Jiasui, have everything you wish for, and will only be more prosperous in the future.
You are so lucky.
You, Shen Jiasui, are just luckier than me.
If I had a background like yours and a biological father who was like a adoptive father to me, I would only be better than you!
I will not repent, I am just struggling forward in this world, trying to get the best of everything, that's all!
Gu Xizhi told herself this over and over again.
It seemed that in this way, even if she died, she would not show cowardice, would not regret, and would even be full of tragic heroism.
But I don't know why......
When the cold and loneliness came over her, she couldn't help shedding tears when she thought about how she would still be alone until her death, how she had planned everything but ended up in such an embarrassing and desperate state.
The candle of life is about to go out.
Gu Xizhi curled up with all her might, and in the very end, she actually longed for a little warmth to wrap herself up.
The eyes slowly closed.
The lanterns lit up the night as bright as day. Before she could recover from the shock, someone suddenly held her hand tightly and took her through the crowd, running freely.
"Xizhi, go eat some floating dumplings!"
She looked up in shock when she heard the voice, only to see Shen Jiasui looking back at her in the sky full of lanterns, with a pure and brilliant smile on his face.
Gu Xizhi was stunned.
The last thought of this life flashed through my mind, but it was a confusion that I would never have the chance to solve.
It's really strange.
She obviously doesn't like eating floating dumplings at all.
It was obvious that the person she hated the most in her life was Shen Jiasui.
But why is it that before death, the warmest memory that comes to mind is...
This is ridiculous.
If you harbor evil in your thought, you will take risks all your life, be trapped in it all your life, and it will all be absurd until you die.
.......
Shen Jiasui was hurrying towards the palace gate because he was still thinking about something.
However, halfway through the journey, she suddenly seemed to have a feeling and slowly pulled the reins.
The horse stopped obediently, its hooves tapping the ground lightly.
Shen Jiasui's body swayed slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, he looked up in the direction of the imperial palace.
The sky was clear and as blue as if it had been washed by water.
It was a clear day with bright sky.
