Chapter 107 We Will Not Go to Hell
Fu Mingshuang's hands trembled. She forced herself to calm down and dialed Lu Shiyu's number.
The phone was connected after two rings.
"Hey, Lu Shiyu, are you okay?"
"Has the news of the earthquake reached the country yet?" The signal over there was very poor, and Lu Shiyu's voice was breathy and intermittent.
"Yes, where are you? Are you safe?"
"I'm trapped in the hotel. My left shoulder is bleeding a lot, but the aorta is not injured..." Lu Shiyu would not pretend that nothing was wrong to coax Fu Mingshuang. She is not a weak little white flower. He knows what Fu Mingshuang wants.
Fu Mingshuang took a deep breath before asking, "Has the bleeding stopped?"
"The conditions didn't allow it, so I bandaged it as best I could. I've called the emergency services, and they're on their way."
Lu Shiyu's voice was still very calm, as if he was not the one trapped in the ruins.
Having known him for so long, Fu Mingshuang had always felt that he was emotionally stable and had a strong core. She had only seen Lu Shiyu get irritated a few times, and those were all his own faults, haha...
Never mind, now is not the time to discuss this.
"Is it dark over there?" Fu Mingshuang was afraid that he would slowly lose consciousness, so she made up some random questions for him.
"Yeah, the power's out."
"Are you afraid of the dark?" Fu Mingshuang asked.
"I'm afraid of being blocked." Lu Shiyu still had the energy to shake off a burden.
Fu Mingshuang's nervous mood was interrupted by him, and she said unhappily: "I'm serious. With the power outage now, are you afraid of the dark?"
"I'm not afraid. The world is so big, but I'm only afraid of you."
At first, you were afraid of going crazy...
Later on, I was afraid that you would block me...
Now, I’m afraid of you who’s clamoring to leave…
Fu Mingshuang remained silent, holding the phone which was gradually getting hot.
"Fu Mingshuang..." Lu Shiyu's increasingly weak breath brought Fu Mingshuang back to his senses.
"Talk to me, let me hear your voice. I'm in the dark, and every minute and every second waiting for rescue is painful... Stay with me."
"Well, I'll accompany you... What do you want me to say?" Fu Mingshuang was rarely so gentle.
"Just chat, or talk about your life over the past two years."
"I haven't had much to talk about in the past two years. It's just like that, boring as a diary. If I wrote it into a novel, readers would hound me and criticize it for being too bloated."
"I'm the only reader now, so I won't scold you." Lu Shiyu's breathing seemed to have quickened, but there was a hint of a smile. "I want to know about the two years I missed..."
Fu Mingshuang paused before speaking: "I moved into my own house and found an internship at a TV station. I rarely went back to school, only to attend important classes. Every day seemed to be busy, but now when I think about it, I can't really say what I was busy with... I did get up early every day, eat breakfast on time, and go to bed early. I didn't have the energy to go to the bar..."
Fu Mingshuang seemed to have been talking for a long time, her words were rambling and illogical...it was all about trivial daily things and fussiness.
Lu Shiyu felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, blood flowing from his shoulder to his fingertips, falling onto the carpet and soaking it all.
The hand holding the phone hung limply on the ground. He turned on the hands-free mode. Fu Mingshuang's chattering voice faded away, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the low battery indicator.
"Fu Mingshuang...my phone is running out of battery."
"What should we do? Have the rescuers arrived? Do you need to conserve your power?" Fu Mingshuang could no longer pretend to be calm.
"It seems the rescuers haven't arrived yet." Lu Shiyu picked a question he could answer. His voice became weaker and weaker, as if it came from far away.
"Lu Shiyu, can you still hear me? Remember not to fall asleep, open your eyes..."
But the blood on his forehead was getting more and more, dripping onto his eyelids, and he seemed unable to lift his eyes.
"Lu Shiyu, remember back at the police station, you agreed to my three requests, and now the second one...
"...I want you to come back alive."
Very fierce. Fu Mingshuang used a condescending tone when she said this.
Lu Shiyu grinned, his pale lips twitching. "And what if I can come back alive... will the young lady give me any reward?"
"Lu Shiyu, it's already this late, and you're still in the mood to say these things?!"
With this roar, Fu Mingshuang's emotions began to get out of control, and her body began to tremble. She couldn't tell whether it was because she was angry or because she was afraid.
"Fu Mingshuang, are you crying?" Lu Shiyu was a little surprised.
"No! I didn't! Shut up! Shut your damn mouth!"
But she could clearly hear her soft sobs on the other end of the line. Lu Shiyu's chest was clearly uninjured, yet it felt like it was being grabbed.
Fu Mingshuang's emotions were out of control, and she started to cry uncontrollably, but she cursed fiercely:
"Lu Shiyu, I'm warning you, if you want to die, die far away and don't let me know! I don't care how you die in the future... but... but..."
Fu Mingshuang became more and more excited and began to feel that he was having difficulty breathing. His chest was rising and falling violently.
"But! But you can't die now! You can't... die in front of me! I don't agree... You can't! Die bit by bit in front of me... I won't allow it! I won't allow it!"
Fu Mingshuang cried hysterically, and the dusty memories in her mind came flooding back, mixed with the disgusting smell of blood, helpless cries, and the desperate sound of water...
There seemed to be a blockage in her chest and she couldn't breathe. She pulled at the clothes on her chest uncomfortably, trying to breathe deeply.
Finally, in her gradually fading consciousness, she seemed to hear Lu Shiyu say first:
"I see the light, Fu Mingshuang. I'm waiting for you in heaven. Neither of us will go to hell..."
Then the call was disconnected...
With the sound of "beep beep beep", Fu Mingshuang also fainted on the ground.
"Land, Ten, Island..."
"Fu, Ming, Shuang..."
