Chapter 34 [VIP] Jianghu (15)
Xiao Guanxue had never experienced such a shock before. For a moment, he even felt that he could not think at all. His mind was blank and he could not hear any sound around him.
Only his heart was still beating uncontrollably, violently and clearly, one after another, so violently that he could hardly breathe.
"Yan Yan..."
Xiao Guanxue hugged Nan Yan as she fell down. He never thought that Nan Yan would jump down after him, and he never thought that she would care about him so much.
The two of them didn't fall for long. After a moment, they heard the sound of a body hitting the ground. Xiao Guanxue groaned, and the tearing pain in his back brought him back to his senses.
Not dead?
But those hands were still tightly clasped around Nan Yan's waist, and those eyes were only staring at her at this moment, as if they could no longer see anything else.
This man looked as if he had lost his soul.
In fact, it was not Xiao Guanxue's fault. He had already made up his mind to die, and he thought he would be smashed to pieces after falling off the cliff. But at the last moment, Nan Yan jumped down with him. The impact at that moment was huge.
Even though he was safe now, he was still a little dazed and could only stare at her blankly.
But Nan Yan was not like him. She was afraid that she would die an ugly death after falling off the cliff, so she buried her head in Xiao Guanxue's arms.
When he heard the sound of □□ hitting the ground, he found that he did not feel any pain or itching. He looked up and saw two people falling on the stone wall. Fortunately, he managed to save his life. An expression of surprise and joy immediately appeared on his face.
At this time she was no longer afraid, and immediately crawled out of the man's arms and began to settle the score.
Nan Yan straightened up and sat on his waist. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes that were about to spit fire and said, "Xiao Guanxue, how dare you disobey me!"
"Who told you to let go? I tell you, if you dare to act on your own and do such disappointing things again in the future, I will not forgive you!"
Although he looked like a wolf, he pretended to be ferocious while teaching him a lesson. Xiao Guanxue only felt an indescribable softness and throbbing in his chest. Why was it so heart-moving?
After being pointed at and scolded, Xiao Guanxue did not feel angry. Instead, he reached out and hugged the person in his arms. This was probably the most proactive thing he had ever done in his life.
"Yanyan, aren't you afraid of death? Why did you jump down with me?"
She thought to herself, that must be because she knew the plot, otherwise she wouldn't jump even if she had a hundred times the courage.
But you can't say that.
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment, and then she saw this man holding her waist shamelessly, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and then she just said something nonsense:
"Why are there so many whys? It's just because we are friends. Now we are all safe. Why are you still holding me? Let go, Xiao Guanxue."
Xiao Guanxue knew that this young lady's habit of saying one thing and thinking another had come back again, so he didn't let her go, but he loosened the strength in his hands a little.
He then asked, "Then tell me, what kind of friend is more important than your own life? Yanyan, are you also so indifferent to other friends?"
After hearing this, Nan Yan felt her cheeks getting slightly hot and seemed a little embarrassed.
But thinking carefully about the meaning of his words, it seemed that he did not quite understand the reason, so he showed a puzzled expression on his face and just explained stubbornly:
"The situation was urgent just now. I didn't think much about it. I just thought that if I could catch you, you wouldn't die. I didn't have time to think about other things."
"If you really want me to find an excuse, then just pretend that I slipped, okay?"
At the end, she seemed a little annoyed, and accused me impatiently, "Okay, okay, what's wrong with you today? Did you fall and hurt your brain? Why do you always ask these weird questions? Why don't you let me go quickly and find a way out of here together?"
Xiao Guanxue was not in a hurry after hearing this.
He stood up. The wound on his back had not yet healed, and after such a collision, it had obviously reopened. Whenever he moved, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xiao Guanxue asked again: "But you have never cared about my life or death, so why did you risk your own life for me? Yanyan, do you care about me?"
When Xiao Guanxue said this, he lowered his head slightly, his face looked pale and powerless, but his eyes were extremely serious, looking straight into Nan Yan's eyes.
Nan Yan of course understood what this man meant. He just wanted her to admit that she was attracted to him and that she cared about him, but she just didn't do what he wanted.
Nan Yan suddenly stepped back an inch, as if frightened by the love in his eyes, and subconsciously retorted, "What do you mean by caring or not caring? What nonsense are you talking about?"
However, Xiao Guanxue refused to let her go. He suddenly approached her and said softly, "Yanyan, I'm not talking nonsense. You care about me in your heart. You are afraid that I will die, right?"
This person seemed to be possessed by a demon today, and kept saying all these nonsense, as if he was trying to guide her to understand something.
Nan Yan showed an anxious look on her face. She was being pressed closer and closer by him, and her expression became more and more ugly. The more she stepped back, the closer he came to her, until she had no room to retreat.
She put her hand on his chest and punched him hard, looking aggrieved, "So what? I'm just afraid that you'll die. Why are you forcing me to do this? What have I done wrong to you that you have to bully me like this?"
Xiao Guanxue was hit by her and suddenly started coughing violently. As he coughed, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood dripped onto his clothes, instantly soaking his green robe. Nan Yan was so scared that her face turned pale.
"I... I'm sorry, what's wrong with you? Did I hit you too hard and hurt you accidentally? Why don't you say anything..."
Nan Yan was frantically wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The faster she moved, the more flustered she became, until finally, her entire sleeve was covered in his blood. She was so scared that she burst into tears again, and her tears seemed to have lost their thread, for fear that he would die.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to hurt you..."
Xiao Guanxue didn't care when she saw this. He had suffered some internal injuries, and the blood clots in his chest couldn't dissipate. She punched him a few times with her pink fist and just broke up the blood clots, which actually helped him a little.
I just didn't expect her to be so nervous about him.
Xiao Guanxue wiped the corner of his mouth lightly. Seeing that she was crying in grievance, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. His movements were so gentle as if he was touching a fragile treasure.
"Why are you so scared, Yanyan? Why are you so afraid that I will die? Tell me, please."
Nan Yan choked up and slapped his hand away. She shook her head and had no idea how to answer. She just kept crying, "I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me anymore, don't ask me anymore..."
When Xiao Guanxue saw her breaking down and crying, he came to his senses. He felt a little panicked, thinking that he was too anxious.
She liked Xie Yu so much and thought about him wholeheartedly. Even if he was really attracted to her, it was hard for her to accept it and it was impossible for her to understand it all at once.
So I had to slow down my tone and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, Yanyan, I'm fine, don't worry, and don't cry."
He was afraid that she would feel guilty and cry non-stop, so he stroked her back again and again to help her breathe more easily. "I had some internal injuries earlier, and now that I spit out the blood, my chest feels much better. It wasn't you who hurt me."
"Be good, stop crying. It's my fault. I shouldn't have scared you. If you keep crying, your eyes will get swollen again."
Xiao Guanxue patted her back gently to comfort her, his tone was extremely gentle. At this moment, the great doctor was no longer as cold and heartless as when they first met. He was clearly like a fool who was deeply in love and unable to extricate himself, and was afraid that he would upset his sweetheart.
After hearing this, Nan Yan finally stopped crying.
She raised her eyes and looked at him cautiously, her raven eyelashes were covered with a layer of mist. She blinked twice and tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Nan Yan reached out and touched his chest again. After confirming that he was really okay, she breathed a sigh of relief and her expression eased a lot. "Are you really okay?"
Xiao Guanxue laughed, shook his head and said, "It's really okay."
Nan Yan pursed her lips and confirmed again. After making sure that he really hadn't vomited blood again, the eldest lady immediately suppressed the worried look on her face and glared at him fiercely.
Then she thought about how sadly she had cried for him just now, and how her shameful look was seen clearly by everyone. She suddenly felt embarrassed, as if she was inferior to him, and so she disliked him in every way.
"In that case, why don't you let me go quickly? How long do you want to hold me back?"
Xiao Guanxue laughed when he heard this, and felt a little depressed again. He reached out and wiped the dust off her cheek, then gently held her in his arms, rubbing his chin against the top of her head, and whispered:
"Yanyan, please stop liking Xie Yu, okay?"
When Nan Yan heard this, her body trembled slightly and the tip of her nose seemed to feel a little sore.
She wanted to reach out and push away Xiao Guanxue's embrace, but she found that he was holding her too tightly and she couldn't get away at all.
"What do you mean by that?"
Nan Yan's voice was a little trembling and a little hoarse.
Xiao Guanxue is not a fool, and he is aware of his abnormal emotions in recent days, but he has always refused to admit it. Until he saw her chasing him and jumping off the cliff regardless of everything, at that moment, Xiao Guanxue finally understood.
He realized that he had fallen in love with her. He liked this hypocritical young lady. He liked her arrogant and bright appearance. He liked the way she said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, and she schemed and calculated against him. He liked even more the way she bullied him with a righteous attitude...
Especially when I'm with her, my attention is all on her and my eyes always look at her involuntarily.
Although they had not been together for a long time, this love was not shallow. He seldom had such strong and impulsive emotions, and this emotion came so surging that it caught people off guard yet was hard to resist.
Even though he fell in love with Su Mo, his feelings were always calm and gentle. He was not the kind of person who would force things. After learning that he liked Su Mo, his first reaction was to just make her happy. As long as she was happy, he was willing to stay behind her silently and not disturb her.
But it was a little different when facing Nan Yan. Her every move could pull his mind and make him feel uneasy. It seemed as if the emotions in his heart were out of control and he couldn't control them no matter what.
He kept asking her questions again and again just to make her realize the fact and admit that she was attracted to him.
But he pushed her too hard, and he was worried that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so Xiao Guanxue didn't beat around the bush and simply expressed his feelings clearly.
She may not understand yet, but he is willing to wait for her.
So Xiao Guanxue touched her head again and continued, "That's what you think in your heart, Yanyan, I like you."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes widened immediately. When she raised her head, she saw the warm and lingering feelings in the other person's eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly came to her senses, her eyes dodging and avoiding his gaze, as if she didn't know what to say, and finally she just said dryly:
"Are you saying that because I jumped with you? Actually, I..."
"No, I was actually very angry when you jumped down. I was angry at you for being so bold and not cherishing your own life. You dared to jump down from such a high cliff. You really didn't know how to live or die."
With every word he said, the eldest lady's face became uglier. Just when she was about to teach him a lesson, she was interrupted by Xiao Guanxue.
But later on, his tone softened.
"But when you threw yourself into my arms, I was no longer angry. I thought that if I could hold you tightly before I died, I would die without regrets."
Xiao Guanxue sighed softly, then lowered his head, looked at her seriously and said, "Yanyan, it's not because you jumped down that I fell in love with you, but it was at that moment that I was completely sure of my feelings. Do you understand now?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips, her eyes slightly reddened, as if she still refused to believe what he said, "But don't you... like Su Mo? If you like her so much, how could you suddenly like me?"
When hearing this question, Xiao Guanxue seemed to understand something, that is, Nan Yan was not indifferent to him. If she didn't care, why would she ask him about Su Mo?
This realization suddenly made Xiao Guanxue feel a little nervous and happy, as if something instantly filled his chest and made him feel satisfied.
Xiao Guanxue did not evade, but held her face in his hands, looked into her eyes seriously and said, "Yanyan, I liked Su Mo before, I don't deny that, but I can assure you that after seeing her and Xie Yu together in the forest that day, I completely let it go."
"I don't want to be vague and deceive you by saying that I never liked her. I will face my previous feelings and tell you that I am sincere to you."
"Yan Yan."
Xiao Guanxue called her name softly again, and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at her quietly and gently.
After hearing this confession, Nan Yan was stunned for a moment. She bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, and asked again: "Is everything you said... all true? You won't lie to me?"
"It's true. I've thought it through clearly."
Nan Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned away uncomfortably because of his reckless words, "I can give you a chance..."
"real?"
Xiao Guanxue was overjoyed and immediately wanted to reach out and hug the person in his arms, but Nan Yan held him back.
"Wait, why are you so excited? I haven't finished talking yet." She changed the subject and looked at him with wide eyes. "I want to ask you something. If Su Mo and I fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?"
"To save you, of course."
Huh? Nan Yan looked up in surprise. Why didn't this person play by the rules? He didn't even hesitate for a moment. How could she find fault with him?
But Nan Yan still refused to let anyone off.
She turned around and looked him up and down, then complained, "So you're not a sentimental person. You're so heartless and ungrateful that you let a woman you once loved die without helping her?"
Xiao Guanxue looked at her pretending to be angry and thought it was interesting that she was being unreasonable and making trouble.
I felt funny inside and couldn't help but tap her on the head.
"I'm not stupid. Su Mo is indeed a woman I once liked, but you are the one I want to be with for the rest of my life. How could I not be able to make a choice?"
Xiao Guanxue smiled again, "If you insist on accusing me of being heartless and ungrateful, then I will admit it. But Yanyan, the past is over, and I won't keep lingering on the past."
Nan Yan didn't say anything for a long time.
He said it so bluntly that even a fool would understand what he meant.
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, her face slightly red, but she finally slowly put her hand into his palm.
"Just now on the cliff, I don't know why I jumped down without hesitation. I just thought that if you died, I would be very sad, so I followed you down without thinking."
"At the moment I jumped, I thought I wouldn't be able to let go of Brother Yu, but actually, letting him go didn't seem that difficult..."
Nan Yan's voice gradually became calmer, as if she was really going to let go of that relationship. She raised her head and said to him seriously, "I am willing to give myself a chance and trust you once. Brother Xiao, you won't lie to me, right?"
Xiao Guanxue looked at her, seemingly not expecting that she was really willing. The joy that suddenly arose in his heart made him unable to help but hug her tighter and kiss her on the forehead at the same time.
"No, I won't lie to you, Yanyan."
Nan Yan was somewhat frightened by his intimate behavior. She touched her forehead and saw some wet marks. She blushed immediately and said angrily, "You scoundrel, how can you kiss me like this? If you don't let go, I'll beat you up."
Xiao Guanxue let go of her hand only after hearing this, but it was not because he was afraid of being beaten, but because he was afraid that he had offended her.
But seeing his beloved's blushing face, he couldn't help but feel like teasing her.
He thought of the question she had just asked, so he imitated her and asked, "Yan Yan, I also want to ask you something. If your brother A Yu and I fell into the river together, who would you save first?"
Nan Yan: “…”
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Guanxue's expression seemed to fade a lot, and he asked again, "Why don't you say anything?"
"Uh, save...you."
"Oh, then why did you hesitate before speaking?"
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
It seemed that this man was no less unreasonable than a woman. Xiao Guanxue glanced at her and asked, "Is this question difficult to choose, Yanyan?"
It's not difficult, but this question shouldn't be asked. Jealousy has changed him beyond recognition.
Nan Yan pursed her lips and glanced at him. Seeing that his face was becoming increasingly ugly, she simply moved over and, while he wasn't paying attention, gave him a quick, gentle kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"Is this all right? My Lord, please be generous, Brother Xiao. Please stop arguing with a little girl like me, okay?"
I don't know if her voice was too soft.
Xiao Guanxue actually heard the word "Brother Xiao" as "good brother" and wondered how this woman could be so bold and presumptuous.
My ears felt slightly hot for no apparent reason, but I still pretended to be calm and nodded, "I'll do this in the future too."
…
At the same time, on the other side, Xie Yu suddenly woke up from his coma, his whole body covered in cold sweat. All of a sudden, as if he had some kind of induction, he inexplicably felt a tightness in his chest and a panic.
I just felt an emptiness in my chest, as if something very important was about to be lost.
But what important thing could he have to lose?
Xie Yu couldn't help but think of Nan Yan, the scene of her crying and begging him not to leave, and the scene of her chasing him and finally fainting...
Scenes flashed through my mind like fragments. Thinking of them, I felt like a drowning person about to suffocate. My chest was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe and it was extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable, but this sudden feeling of uneasiness made him even more uneasy. His heart felt as if someone was grabbing it with a hand, and he subconsciously covered his chest.
The sound of Nan Yan crying that day echoed uncontrollably in my ears, and every word reverberated in my mind.
"Su Mo, Su Mo, is there only Su Mo in your eyes? Can't you tolerate anyone else besides her?"
"Xie Yu, do you like her so much? Do you like her so much that you would rather accompany her to death than be with me?"
"I won't go back. Brother Ayu, can you please come back? We can just be ordinary siblings. I'll do whatever you say. I just beg you not to go and die, okay?"
…
Those voices echoed in my mind without any warning, as if foreshadowing something.
Xie Yu didn't know what was wrong with him. An unprecedented panic surged into his chest, making him feel like he was about to lose her.
It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this...
He had just come to terms with his feelings, and it had just begun, they had just started, and he still had a chance, so why did he feel this way?
Xie Yu struggled to stand up. He didn't know what had happened in the village, but he was eager to leave. If he stayed any longer, he would regret it.
But in fact he had already regretted it. He had regretted it when he left that day. People always regret when they lose something.
He watched Yanyan faint in front of him, but turned around and picked up another woman. No matter what the reason, he hurt Yanyan because of Su Mo.
But what to do, will Yanyan forgive him? Is she willing to forgive him?
Yanyan...
