I was at a loss for words. Grandma had taught me another lesson in the cruelty of reality.
âNanxing, my name is Ma Ji. You can call me by my name. I never like the outsidersâ way of address.â She said.
I saw Xiao Yiâs Adamâs Apple move. It was clear that he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
I nodded. âAlright, Ma Ji. I feel weird to call you Grandma anyway.â
Ma Ji smiled and signaled for us to lead the way.
Once we entered the Jing residence, the maid ran over. âMiss Nanxing, quick. Young Master is... in a bad state.â
I panicked and forgot about Ma Ji. I followed the servant to Jing Tianâs room.
Jing Tian was rolling around the bed in pain. I wanted to hug him, but I was afraid that it would make him feel even more pain. His face was extremely pale, and he was drenched in a cold sweat.
âNanxing, I will not use the free-spirited grass. I will never be controlled by any poison or medicine!â He saw me and reached out to hold my hand.
His palm was cold and sticky.
My tears fell immediately. âJing Tian, just wait a moment. Iâve found a way to save you.â
Jing Tian looked at me and enunciated each word clearly. âIf you dare to give me to that woman, Iâll never forgive you for the rest of my life! Nanxing, listen to me. If I canât be with you in this life, then forgive me. I will have to leave first. But Iâll wait for you in the next life!â
My tears fell harder. âJing Tian, listen. Iâve really found a way to save you.â
Jing Tian tried his best to smile. âNanxing, I love you! I hope I can be with you all my lives. I wish the dream that you painted for me is true. Nanxing, Iâm sorry. I will have to leave first. But we... I will wait for you in the next life!â
He was in extreme pain. His body curled up into a ball. He couldnât even summon the energy to hold my hands anymore.
âMa Ji, Ma Ji, please save him!â I shouted. I didnât dare leave Jing Tianâs side.
Jing Tian, I love you too. I wonât let you die. I donât want to wait for our next life. I want us to be together in this life. Iâve gone through one lifetime. I canât wait for another lifetime, I wonât! Jing Tian, I love you!
As long as you can get better, it doesnât matter that you donât remember me. It doesnât matter as long as youâre no longer in pain.
I knelt by Jing Tianâs bed, trembling all over. My heart had been shattered into powder.
Jing Tian gradually fell into a coma. The hand that held mine lost its strength.
I shouted, âJing Tian! Jing Tian! Wake up. You canât sleep!â Jing Tianâs eyelids fluttered but he couldnât open them.
âNanxing, Iâm in too much pain. I need to sleep for a while. Just a while. Nanxing, I love you.â His voice gradually weakened.
âMa Ji! Ma Ji! Please come and save him!â I cried. I couldnât understand why Ma Ji and Xiao Yi hadnât arrived. I wanted to go check, but I couldnât move. I didnât have the energy to move. I couldnât leave Jing Tian!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I tapped Jing Tianâs face. I didnât care if it caused him pain. I wanted him to wake up to see me.
âJing Tian, look at me! Iâm Nan Xing! Iâm Nan Xing!â I cried out.
Jing Tian didnât open his eyes. His breathing weakened. He finally let go of my hand.
Jing Tian! You canât die! You absolutely canât!
If you die, Iâll go after you!
