Chapter 52: There is no white moonlight, only you
Nan Jiao instinctively dodged to the side, but the car relentlessly pursued her, seemingly determined to kill someone.
In the blink of an eye, the front of the car was in front of us again.
A terrified scream came from beside her ear.
Nan Jiao could no longer make a sound. Was this the end for her?
She wondered if she would return to the modern world after she died. If she did return... she suddenly couldn't think of any point in going back, as there was no place for her in that world anymore.
But what about Yan Yan? What about her child...?
Perhaps when you are extremely scared, you will recall all sorts of strange sounds.
She thought she was going to die.
The next second, a pair of strong arms firmly gripped her waist, and then the whole world began to spin.
The out-of-control car was finally forced to stop after a gunshot rang out, and blood spilled from the car door.
"Open your eyes and look at me."
His slightly rough fingertips brushed across her cheek. Hearing that familiar voice, Nan Jiao woke up as if from a dream and opened her eyes. What she saw was Lu Xiao's worried face.
"I...I'm not dead..."
"Of course you won't die. With me here, how could I let you die? Don't run around like that next time."
In the instant the accident occurred, Lu Xiao tried to pull Nan Jiao into his arms, but she bounced away like a rabbit.
Lu Xiao held Nan Jiao in his arms, gently stroking her cheek, and comforted her, "It's alright, nothing will happen."
Nan Jiao saw out of the corner of her eye that Feng Ran was sitting on the ground, equally shaken. She had been rescued by her personal guards immediately, but she was clearly quite frightened.
As my heart gradually returned to my chest, a question arose that I couldn't understand.
Why did Lu Xiao save him?
Shouldn't he have saved the female lead? Why was he by her side?
[I told you my favorite ship is weird, isn't it? Isn't it obvious? Hope no one's going to argue with me now.]
[This isn't right, is it? Hmm, is this correct?]
[Whether it's right or wrong, as long as it looks good, that's all that matters. I've always thought ex-couples are more exciting. Ranran, don't be shy, there are plenty of men out there. Just find a few more excellent "beast husbands." As for this one, I think it's best to leave it to the female supporting character.]
...
The driver lost too much blood and passed out; he was then taken away for investigation by the police who rushed to the scene.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared out of your wits?"
Nan Jiao came to her senses, her heart feeling like a bottle of spice had been spilled.
The thought of him saving her softened her heart, but the next second she saw the amulet hanging from his waist, and her heart felt like it had been doused with cold water.
The pent-up emotions could no longer be contained:
Why did you save me?
Lu Xiao was somewhat puzzled: "You are the most important person to me."
"Nonsense! Is that really what you think? Lu Xiao, what exactly do you want? Are you only satisfied when you drive me crazy?"
Her chest heaved rapidly, as reality always seemed to throw her back into hell just when she had one foot in heaven.
She worried that if she continued like this, she would really go crazy.
Lu Xiao was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with panic and caution: "Was there something I didn't do well enough? Wife, don't be angry..."
"You're always the same. Since you have a white moonlight you've been infatuated with for so long, why do you have to come up to me? What exactly is your purpose?" Nan Jiao's eyes were slightly red; these words had been bottled up in her heart for too long.
Every day felt like a rollercoaster ride for her.
Lu Xiao panicked the moment he saw her crying. A subordinate reminded him that he could go and interrogate the prisoner, but he interrupted him coldly and then took out a handkerchief to wipe away Nan Jiao's tears.
"What is 'white moonlight'? What does 'white moonlight' mean?"
"The white moonlight is the person you love but can't have, your first love..."
Lu Xiao blushed and was about to answer when he heard Nan Jiao crying and accusing him, "Isn't your white moonlight Feng Ran? Lu Xiao, I've discovered you're really good at playing dumb. You're such a scumbag, loving this one and that one, and you're still agonizing over it, aren't you? Don't know which one to love?"
"Forget it, Lu Xiao, I really don't have time to argue with you anymore. What kind of era is this? I can't fight with another girl for you. You'd better take care of yourself. If you like someone, don't waver."
Nan Jiao broke free from his embrace.
Seeing her about to leave, Lu Xiao hugged her from behind, his voice trembling:
"There is no white moonlight, only you."
"I don't understand any of what you're saying. What's this about 'white moonlight' and 'Feng Ran'?"
Nan Jiao suppressed the soft spot she felt for him, turned around, and looked at him with disappointment in her eyes: "What are you still pretending for? Isn't that amulet your love token with Feng Ran? You each have one, and you wear it with you day and night, even though she made it on a whim."
Her slender fingers pointed to the amulet at his waist, then withdrew her hand as if burned.
Every time she looked at this thing, she felt it was an eyesore.
You mean this?
Lu Xiao took off the amulet and handed it to Nan Jiao.
"What are you doing? I don't want to." Nan Jiao took a step back.
【Oh no, how did it turn out like this? It's a tonic! It was just starting to taste sweet!】
[Hmph, I knew they couldn't be together. No matter what happens in the process, the outcome won't change; a happy ending for the male and female leads is the final result.]
Although I really ship this couple, Lu Xiao is truly unpredictable. How can he seem to love this person and that person at the same time? And this token of love—not only will the female supporting character find it unacceptable, but I certainly can't accept it either.
[Is this going to be a sad ending? CP fans are heartbroken.]
...
As Nan Jiao read the comments, her mood grew heavier and heavier with each word.
Lu Xiao had already turned the amulet over. He said softly, "Look, it's not too late to deal with me after you've looked at it."
Nan Jiao stirred slightly, looking over in confusion. The next second, her body froze, her pupils dilating in disbelief.
She hurriedly picked it up and took a closer look, only to find two small characters on it.
That's her name.
"How...how could this be..."
Nan Jiao's fingers were trembling uncontrollably; she almost thought she was in a hallucination.
Lu Xiao gazed at her: "Three years ago, I received news of your death in a plane crash, but I didn't believe it. I went to ask for a talisman to protect you. This is your talisman."
"You didn't ask me or mention it, so I really can't understand why you would think this is a token of love between me and Feng Ran?"
"So... all this time your resistance towards me is because of this amulet?"
Nan Jiao was still in shock. This scene had impacted her worldview and understanding. Why was it different from what the comments said?
Besides surprise, there was also a delightful surprise she didn't want to ignore.
[Aaaaaah, why is the female supporting character's name on this? Wait, that's not right. I remember this was the token of love between the male and female leads, embroidered by the female lead for the male lead. Am I remembering wrong?]
[You're not mistaken, because I remember this scene too. Right now, I'm just as shocked as the female supporting character. I can't understand it at all. How could this happen? I'm starting to doubt my own eyes.]
[Waaaaah, isn't this better? Stop torturing me, give me some sweetness!!]
