◇ Chapter 44
There were bursts of loud "boom" sounds.
The ground shook and waves of heat came one after another.
"Chu Jiangyuan!"
Si Gu'an didn't care about his bleeding forehead and rushed to the grass opposite to help the person up.
He was almost covered in blood, and Si Gu'an's palms were covered in blood just from supporting him.
He trembled and supported him: "Chu Jiangyuan, don't scare me? Wake up..."
Chu Jiangyuan slowly opened his eyes, and the first words he said were: "Don't worry, I protected Xiao An, he just fainted."
As he spoke, he tried hard to hand the child in his arms to Si Gu'an, but he dared to raise his hand but was too weak to let it fall.
"I know! I know! Chu Jiangyuan, stop talking. You've lost so much blood..."
Chu Jiangyuan smiled gently and said, "Don't cry, I don't want to see you cry for me."
He reached out to wipe his eyes, but he couldn't lift his hand no matter how many times he tried.
Si Gu'an held his hand, but tears couldn't help but flow down.
"Gu'an, I'm sorry." He looked up at him, his eyes bright but his breath weak.
"Don't talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore, okay? The doctor will be here soon. Just hold on a little longer."
But both of them knew that Chu Jiangyuan could not be saved.
"Gu'an, don't interrupt me. I'm afraid... if I miss this opportunity... I won't have another chance to speak."
Chu Jiangyuan's eyes gradually dimmed, and Si Gu'an nodded with a sob.
At the moment of life and death, all the emotions hidden in the heart are released.
But at this point, love and hate have become unimportant.
Only reluctance.
"Gu'an, I really regret not cherishing the time we spent together and not recognizing you. I don't expect you to forgive me...it's just..."
Chu Jiangyuan coughed up a few strands of blood and continued, "If... one day you fall in love with someone else, don't be so foolish and give yourself to them. Doing so will only spoil the other person. Gu An... I hope you can live a good life in the future."
Si Gu'an just shed tears and couldn't even nod. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether his feelings towards Chu Jiangyuan were hatred or disappointment.
However, he never thought that he would die.
Chu Jiangyuan looked at him greedily, his vision becoming increasingly blurred. Finally, he suppressed his anger and said, "Gu'an, can you agree to one request of mine?"
"Okay! I promise."
Si Gu'an bit his lip to hold back his sobs, and recalled the past scene after scene in his mind, the good and the bad of Chu Jiangyuan... It didn't matter anymore. He had only one thought, that he was alive.
Chu Jiangyuan also recalled the past. He remembered Si Gu'an's agility, gentleness, loss, fear... every moment of him since he was a child.
He tried hard to keep these memories, but his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his voice and appearance became more and more blurred... He wanted to continue to stay by his side, even if it was just to watch from afar.
But he had no chance.
"Gu'an, please don't come to my funeral..."
Chu Jiangyuan spoke intermittently: "It's really too painful to face the tombstone alone..."
"Chu Jiangyuan, stop saying things like that...Chu Jiangyuan..."
Si Gu'an clenched his hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"Gu'an, can you... call me... Brother Jiang Yuan again?"
"Brother Jiang Yuan...Brother Jiang Yuan! Brother Jiang Yuan!"
But Chu Jiangyuan could no longer hear what he was saying, nor could he feel his strength. He could only weakly finish what he wanted to say.
"Gu'an...Gu'an..."
"I'm sorry... I... love you..."
"Brother Jiang Yuan——!"
