Do You Believe It?_1 279: Chapter 221: I Would Die Without You!
Do You Believe It?_1 When Nanxi was fifteen, she dreamt of a man.
To be exact, she dreamt of a man’s back.
His silhouette was tall and handso, and above all, reassuringly warm.
Compelled by curiosity, Nanxi approached this man, and asked, “What are you doing?”
The man lifted his hands.
They were beautiful, so beautiful that Nanxi thought she had never seen hands like these before.
He extended his hand toward her and said in a soft voice, “I’m here to take you with .”
Nanxi hesitated before asking,”Where will you take ?”
The man replied, “Anywhere you want.”
Nanxi blinked.
She longed to visit Denmark, the land of fairy tales and dreams, and the holand her mother often spoke of, the mainland, which her mother affectionately referred to as ho.
“But, I don’t know you,” she said.
The man smiled, a soothing sound.
“That’s okay,” he assured her, “As long as I know you.”
“Even so, I can’t go with you.
My parents wouldn’t allow it…”
After so thought, she added, “They might look for !”
The man said nothing in response.
As Nanxi peered at the figure and the indistinguishable face of the man, she felt a wave of lancholy wash over her.
Her heart, hollow.
She woke from her dream that day, to find her face moist from the tears she had shed for the man in her dream.
…
Before closing the door, Lu Yinchu cast a look at the woman lying in the room, draped in a blanket – one that he had just placed over her.
She stood next to the window, phone in hand, calling out to the person on the other end, “Weihuan…”
A sudden pang tugged at his heart.
He rubbed his brow, then decisively shut the door and walked away.
…
The sound of the door closing echoed through the room, sending a chill of desolation through Nanxi’s heart.
She bit her lip in silence as Li Weihuan inquired from the other side, “What’s wrong?
Why are you not speaking?”
What could she say?
What more did she have to say?
“Nothing, I’m just…tired,” she murmured.
Eyes closed, hands resting on the window sill, she truly did feel…exhausted.
Li Weihuan paused a mont before suggesting, “Tired, huh?
Did you overwork yourself today?
Maybe you should get so rest…
I’ll hang up now…”
“Weihuan…” Nanxi interjected urgently.
“…” Li Weihuan was taken aback and asked, “What is it, Nanxi?”
“Weihuan, I need to tell you sothing…”
Nanxi bit her lip, her knuckles digging into her palm.
Her palm throbbed, but she paid no heed to the pain.
Li Weihuan’s end of the line fell silent.
It seed as though he had taken a deep breath before saying, “Nanxi, you’re too tired.
Get so sleep.
You can tell next ti.
No rush.
I will hang up now.”
“Wait, Weihuan, don’t…Weihuan, I…”
The echo of a crash was heard from the other end.
Surprised, Nanxi stuttered, “…what…
what happened?”
“…Oh, nothing,” Li Weihuan reassured her, “just my clumsy nurse.
She bumped into a vase on the table and shattered it…
what a klutz!”
With a laugh, Li Weihuan explained, “Nanxi, I really need to go now, the nurse seems hurt and is crying.
I need to find soone to help her…
don’t be jealous, Nanxi.
You know that you’re the only one in my heart.
I would hardly spare a second glance to other won…”
He paused, then added, “Nanxi, rember this.
I love you.
I love you very much.
Without you, I would die!
Do you believe ?”
Nanxi’s heart trembled, she remained silent for a while.
Li Weihuan then said, “Nanxi, I’m going to go now, good night…”
The call ended.
Nanxi’s eyelashes quivered, her faltering strength gave way and she slowly crouched by the window fra.
Touching her face, she felt the wetness there.
It was reminiscent of the dream she had when she was fifteen…
Whom was she crying for?
For him?
For him?
Or for herself?
…
H City, hospital.
The nurse was stunned as she returned with a water bottle in hand.
She could hardly believe what she was seeing.
A handso man, sitting on the floor amidst pieces of a broken vase, oblivious to the bloodstains on his hospital gown.
