Chapter 58: Telling Lu Xiao the Beginning
After a burst of gunfire, all of Qiu Lian's men fell to the ground with cries of agony, utterly powerless to retaliate.
Lu Xiao turned his gun and aimed it at Qiu Lian's heart.
With a "bang," Qiu Lian fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she gave a sinister smile, and a remote control appeared from her sleeve.
She pressed it gently, and immediately a scream came from the deck, followed by a splash, as if something heavy had fallen into the sea.
Lu Xiao's pupils contracted, and he ran towards the deck before jumping down as well.
"marshal!"
Nan Jiao can't swim. She waved her hands a couple of times but continued to sink, and salty seawater filled her nostrils.
Is she really going to die here today? She's so young, with so many things left undone and so many things she cares about. How can she die here?
The only thing that comforted her was that Lu Xiao must not be dead. She heard a chaotic burst of gunfire and Qiu Lian's scream before she fell.
Suddenly, she saw Lu Xiao falling in her direction.
Why did he jump in? Doesn't he know how to swim? Was he trying to kill himself?
Nan Jiao quickly hugged him.
His complexion looked even worse than mine; he was pale, and blood was still seeping from his arm.
Nan Jiao's eyes reddened, and all she could do was curse him in her heart before kissing his lips to breathe into him.
As death approached, she felt that it wouldn't be bad to die with the person she loved, but it was a pity that she hadn't been able to say sorry to him.
He must be very upset after misunderstanding me for so long...
If there is a next life, I must treat him well!
"Click-clack..."
Nan Jiao suddenly heard the sound of fish calling. She saw a school of fish suddenly swarm over. What puzzled Nan Jiao the most was that she could understand what the fish were saying.
"Click click gurgle gurgle... You have the aura of a king on you. Are you and your companions trapped here? Don't be afraid, we'll rescue you right away."
Nan Jiao then felt a magical buoyancy lifting her and Lu Xiao upwards; it was these small fish.
They carried Nan Jiao and Lu Xiao to the beach, wagging their tails in the seawater:
"We haven't taken human form yet, so we can't leave the ocean. Next time, be careful with your friends so you don't fall down again."
Nan Jiao thanked them.
"Click click, you're welcome... You smell like a king, sniff, it smells so good..."
After they finished speaking, they said goodbye to Nan Jiao.
Wang... probably refers to Yin Lan, right?
But after all this time, how can I still smell his scent on myself?
Nan Jiao didn't have time to think further and hurriedly sent a request for help using her terminal.
Within a minute, Lu Xiao's men found them, and Lu Xiao was quickly lifted onto a stretcher.
The surgery was performed by Yasuo himself. After he came out, he saw Nan Jiao and said, "Madam, don't worry, the Marshal is out of danger and has woken up. He keeps asking for..."
Before the words had even finished, Lu Xiao, wearing a hospital gown, walked out, leaning against the wall.
Two nurses followed behind:
"Marshal, you need to rest now. Don't run around. Go back to bed and rest, okay?"
The moment Nan Jiao met his gaze, she felt a surge of tears welling up in her eyes, and she rushed over and threw herself into his arms.
The two embraced tightly; having experienced death, their emotions had swelled up along with the seawater.
"Thank goodness, Lu Xiao, I'm so relieved you're alright. I was so afraid something might have happened to you..."
Lu Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, and he stroked her head with his other uninjured hand: "I'm still alive."
Seeing the nurse's nervous expression, Nan Jiao quickly helped him back to his bed.
"Lu Xiao, you're being ridiculous! How could you run around like that? Are you out of your mind?"
Lu Xiao's gaze lingered on her cheek, a gentle smile softening his previously hard features as his slightly rough fingertips traced the back of her hand.
"I can only feel at ease when I see you with my own eyes. It's all my fault... I didn't protect you well and made you worry. It won't happen again, never again."
"Your arm..."
"Don't worry, I'm not crippled, I just need some rest." He looked at her red eyes, his gaze shifting slightly: "You cried?"
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his chest: "I won't die, I'm still alive and well, don't be afraid."
"Are you stupid? You were injured, why did you still jump in?! And you can't even swim, didn't you think you'd die in the sea?"
“Many times, there was almost no time to think. At that time, I thought that it would be good to die with you.” He held her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers: “No matter where you go, I will follow you, and we will never be separated for all eternity.”
"If we really die together, maybe we can be reincarnated as childhood sweethearts, so I can be with you from your infancy."
"If you're reincarnated together, what if you end up as siblings?"
Lu Xiao was slightly taken aback, seriously considering this possibility: "Could something this dramatic really happen?"
"I don't want to die. I still have Yan Yan here. I just earned so many star coins that I haven't had time to spend yet, and I haven't had time to squander your star coins either."
Lu Xiao was amused by her: "My wife is right, we can't die."
Nan Jiao suddenly looked up: "I'm sorry, Lu Xiao..."
"What are you sorry for? You haven't done anything wrong to me."
"I shouldn't have doubted your relationship with Feng Ran and kicked you out so many times. You must have been very sad back then, right?"
Nan Jiao told him about the bullet screen system:
"Three years ago, when I was in the hospital, a system suddenly appeared in my mind. I could see the comments they posted. The comments said that I was just a cannon fodder ex-wife in a book, and you and the other beast husbands were the male protagonists. Your true love was actually Feng Ran, and you only married me to use me."
"At first I didn't believe it, until it accurately predicted what would happen next, so I..."
"So you ran away?"
Nan Jiao nodded: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have believed what the comments said. I shouldn't have disbelieved you... You, you can scold me. I've scolded you so many times. This time I'll give you a special privilege. You can scold me once."
Lu Xiao gazed at her silently with his azure eyes, his gaze swirling with emotions.
Nan Jiao felt inexplicably flustered, wondering if he was angry.
Suddenly, Lu Xiao propped himself up in bed, pulled her into his arms, and rested his chin on Nan Jiao's head:
"I'm sorry, Jiaojiao. I haven't done enough to give you a sense of security. Please forgive me."
"Looking at those words on the bullet screen every day must be suffocating and upsetting for you, right? It's my fault for making you bear so much."
