Although everyone was discussing Ye Fanxing's matter, no one was willing to offend "Cheng Jianshe" for the sake of this orphan girl, just like Huo Dongfang.
We all live in the military compound, and we see each other all the time, so we have to consider each other's feelings.
Ye Fanxing knew perfectly well what was going on, but said nothing more. Instead, she quietly left the military compound and used the little money she had saved to buy yarn.
Ye Fanxing spent an afternoon knitting a scarf for Huo Dongfang.
Ye Fanxing sat at her desk and wrote a letter.
At 6 p.m., the guard said that Huo Dongfang had something to do at work and wouldn't be back for the time being, and he also brought dinner for Ye Fanxing.
Ye Fanxing handed the brown paper bag containing the letter and scarf to the guard.
"Please give these things to Uncle Huo."
The guard took the brown paper bag and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to the commander."
Ye Fanxing stood in front of the courtyard gate and watched the guards leave before changing into the red dress Huo Dongfang had given her. She then left the military compound alone and walked straight to the riverbank not far from the compound.
The guard returned to Huo Dongfang's side with the brown paper bag to report back.
"Commander, this is what Comrade Ye Fanxing asked me to give you."
Huo Dongfang took the brown paper bag with a puzzled look, opened it, and found a hand-knitted scarf and a letter inside.
Huo Dongfang put the scarf aside and tore open the envelope.
The elegant handwriting caught Huo Dongfang's eye. At first, Huo Dongfang thought that Ye Fanxing was just shy and had written him a thank-you letter.
But it wasn't until Huo Dongfang read to the end that he realized this was not a thank-you letter at all.
This is clearly Ye Fanxing's suicide note.
"Commander!"
Huo Dongfang clutched the letter tightly and rushed out of the military compound.
The guard hurried after him, anxiously asking, "Sir, what happened?"
Huo Dongfang stopped and looked at the guard with a gloomy expression. "What else did she say?"
The guard looked bewildered and said, "Comrade Ye Fanxing didn't say anything."
Huo Dongfang's face was full of hostility as he coldly said, "Don't follow me! Go and get some people to come with me to look for them!"
The guard immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir."
It was getting late.
The dim streetlights stood silently on both sides of the road.
Huo Dongfang looked up at the dazzling stars in the night sky, wondering where Ye Fanxing might go.
Where will she go?
Where can she go?
The Ye Family Courtyard?
impossible!
She wrote a will, which clearly stated that after her death, she would donate the Ye family courtyard to the country.
What exactly happened to make Ye Fanxing, who was only eighteen years old, write such a suicide note?
After hesitating for a moment, Huo Dongfang ran to the Ye family's courtyard.
The gate to the Ye family's courtyard was tightly shut. He asked the neighbors who were cooling off at the alley entrance, but they had not seen Ye Fanxing return either.
Where did Ye Fanxing go?
Huo Dongfang suddenly remembered that there was a large river not far from the military compound.
On that stone arch bridge over the river, where did someone jump into the river?
Could it be...?
Once the thought crossed Huo Dongfang's mind, he disregarded everything else and rushed towards the river.
The bright moonlight shone on the river, casting a shimmering glow.
Ye Fanxing stood on the stone arch bridge, looking at the ceaselessly flowing river, wondering what kind of persona she should present in front of Huo Dongfang.
Liu Guiying said she was a cursed lone star.
Given her current situation, it would be only natural for her to feel extremely guilty and commit suicide by drowning.
She wanted to complete the mission.
Only by putting ourselves in a desperate situation can we survive.
Otherwise, how could she get close to Huo Dongfang and successfully stay by his side?
Huo Dongfang comes from the powerful Huo family in Beijing.
But she was not an orphan.
The two are eight years apart in age, and their family status is like an insurmountable chasm.
If Huo Dongfang leaves this place, even finding him in the vast sea of people will be like finding a needle in a haystack.
What exactly does she need to do to make Huo Dongfang willingly take her with him wherever he goes?
Ye Fanxing didn't know when Huo Dongfang would arrive, but she couldn't wait until she saw him before jumping into the river.
That would be a bit too much of a charade.
Ye Fanxing took off her worn-out cloth shoes, put on the red dress Huo Dongfang had given her, opened her arms, and jumped into the icy river with a "plop".
When Ye Fanxing was writing her will, she specifically practiced her lung capacity.
Perhaps because she transmigrated into the book, the functions of her body were very similar to those of her real body.
Their facial features, body shape, and flexibility are exactly the same.
Before she entered the book, she had worked as a classical dancer and filmed the underwater dance "The Goddess of the Luo River". During filming, she could stay underwater for up to seven minutes before taking a breath.
When Huo Dongfang arrived at the riverbank, he saw Ye Fanxing, like a red leaf in the autumn wind, resolutely jump into the turbulent river.
"Ye Fanxing!"
Huo Dongfang didn't have time to think about anything else. He jumped into the river with a "plop" and swam desperately towards where Ye Fanxing had jumped.
Ye Fanxing had originally thought that if Huo Dongfang couldn't come over for a while, she could hold her breath underwater for a bit and then quietly take a breath.
She hadn't expected Huo Dongfang to arrive so timely, so she simply let herself fall into the boundless darkness.
Huo Dongfang dived into the water and stretched out his hands to tightly embrace Ye Fanxing, who was as light as a feather.
He didn't know if Ye Fanxing could swim, and fearing something might happen to her, he kissed her lips in the water to give her air.
