Su Wan knew that Zhang Ying would never give up the extraction, but Zhang Ying still wanted to extract life factors beyond her capacity. As a result, she only had one day left to spend with Wei Jingzhuo.
"Ah Jin, I can't stand," she said weakly, leaning against Wei Jingzhuo. "Help me sit down."
Wei Jingzhuo put his arm around her and sat her down on the chair.
Zhang Ying manipulated the helmet to appear on Su Wan's head and said, "Wei Jingzhuo, after I finish extracting the contents, I will leave this world. You will still be the Emperor of Great Jin, ruling the world. There's no need to lose sight of the bigger picture for a woman."
Wei Jingzhuo didn't look at her, but knelt down next to the chair and held Su Wan's hand.
Su Wan looked up as the helmet slowly descended, plunging her into darkness. She couldn't help but tightly grasp Wei Jingzhuo's hand and said, "Zhang Ying, I'll cooperate with you. You can't hurt A Jin, and you can't hurt anyone else. Promise me."
"You really are... Fine, I promise you, after the extraction I will let Wei Jingzhuo leave safely, and I will never hurt anyone else."
Zhang Ying finished speaking quickly, then muttered to herself, "Overload extraction, it should be pushing this red lever up..."
To ease her fear, Su Wan asked, "Zhang Ying, is this your first time using overload extraction? You've never used it before?"
“Of course not, the first time,” Zhang Ying said, “pulling down the red bar is the reverse... If that happens, the free life factors will return to your body.”
“Why say all this?” Su Wan said with a wry smile. “You wouldn’t be that kind anyway.”
Zhang Ying said, "This is my first time operating this too. I'll reiterate the steps to make sure there are no mistakes... Start."
As the helmet trembled slightly, the numbers on the screen, which had been counting down second by second, began to jump rapidly.
"Ah Jin, has it started?" Su Wan's voice trembled. "Hold my hand tightly, my head is starting to spin."
Wei Jingzhuo held her hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you. Whether you are here or in the underworld."
Su Wan said, "Don't die with me. Live well and take me back to the place where we first met. Bury me there. Just remember to burn some paper money for me every year."
She tried her best to sound lighthearted. Wei Jingzhuo pressed her face against the back of her hand, and she could feel the warm tears falling onto it.
“Don’t cry, everyone dies eventually,” she tried to comfort Wei Jingzhuo. “I’m very happy with you. Compared to so many wives who live in misery, I’m really blessed.”
“No, I haven’t given you anything,” Wei Jingzhuo said. “You’re just suffering by following me.”
"No way, there were so many sweet moments," Su Wan recalled the little things they had shared in her mind. "We could spend a whole day reminiscing. You remember, on the day of the wedding, I was jostled around like a madwoman by the bridal sedan chair..."
“I remember,” Wei Jingzhuo said. “I was wondering who did her makeup. It was a stunning debut.”
"Your face was bumped back and forth inside the sedan chair," Su Wan said with a smirk. "I was so dizzy from all the bumps that I forgot to bring a mirror. Oh, and I bumped into you when I got out of the sedan chair. Doesn't that make me look a little silly?"
Wei Jingzhuo said, "How could that be? If anyone says you're stupid, I'll go and yell at them."
"I don't care what anyone says about me," Su Wan smiled. "As long as A Jin doesn't dislike me, I'll be content."
"Is someone talking about you behind your back?"
"Yes, people always say I'm stupid. Look at Bai Zhiyi, she's smart, but A Jin still likes me, even though I'm a bit stupid."
She laughed a few times, then coughed violently.
Wei Jingzhuo placed his hand on her chest to help her breathe, and she placed her hand on the back of Wei Jingzhuo's hand: "You don't need to do anything anymore. Ajin, you have to keep talking to me until I fall asleep."
“I will keep talking to you,” Wei Jingzhuo said, “I will keep talking about everything we did together. Let’s start with our trip to Linyuan Village.”
"Okay." Su Wan closed her eyes. "It seems I'm a terrible sleeper; I always squeeze you."
"Not only that, but she also keeps losing her blanket and likes to sleep on her back..."
"Haha, I'm so sorry."
I wish she could keep talking like that forever, but eventually she'll fall asleep.
