Han Xi propped herself up with her arms and struggled to sit up from the ground. She closed her eyes to calm herself for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes again, the bewildernt and panic from before were no longer on her face.
Han Xi looked at Han Siyu, who seed possessed, and there was a trace of heartbreak in her indifferent voice: "Burning to death will only make Li Chenghao hate you more, make Lu Jinghan go all out against you, and also subject your conscience to a lifeti of condemnation. I grew up with you as your sister, not your enemy. Because the man you love happens to love , you want to burn to death. Han Siyu, can you face our deceased mother? Do you think she would forgive you from up in the heavens?"
Han Siyu’s hands froze, her fingers turning pale from gripping the gasoline can too hard.
Han Siyu hesitated, but only for a few minutes. She watched the sky darken outside and lightly smiled with her fiery red lips: "I don’t know if Li Chenghao will hate if you die, but I only know that the dead won’t compete with for n."
"You really are beyond saving."
Han Xi let out a bitter laugh, thinking she might really die here today: "Could I at least make a phone call to Lu Jinghan?"
Han Siyu eyed Han Xi warily: "What are you plotting? Want him to rescue you?"
"I just want to talk to my husband before I die. As soon as you light the match, I will be engulfed in flas. Do you really think Lu Jinghan could be faster than you?"
Seeing Han Siyu’s indecision, Han Xi continued with a note of pleading: "Consider it a favor. Right now, he’s the only family I have left in this world, and I want to say goodbye properly."
"Fine, I’ll give you that chance."
Han Siyu took out her phone and dialed Lu Jinghan’s number as instructed by Han Xi. The call was quickly answered on the other end.
"Hello..."
"Jinghan, it’s ."
Han Xi fought to keep her voice from breaking, but her nose still stung with sadness: "If I’m not around in the future, you need to eat well, sleep well, and don’t work too hard...."
Before Han Xi could finish, Lu Jinghan interrupted, clutching his chest in near-unbearable pain, tears forming at the corners of his eyes: "I won’t allow you to say that. You won’t be in any danger; stay put and wait for to rescue you."
Han Xi was already in tears. When Wen Qin passed away, she had already experienced such a parting once, and she knew how painful it was for the one left behind.
"Jinghan, actually, in the future, you don’t have to think of every day. Just rember occasionally. If you et a good girl, marry her. I don’t want you to live alone; knowing soone will take care of you would set my mind at ease. Don’t worry about . I have Mom with , so I won’t be lonely...."
Han Xi really couldn’t continue. Her throat felt as if sothing was stuck in it, unbearably uncomfortable.
Lu Jinghan felt like he was about to suffocate, the pain etched into his bones and blood making every part of him ache.
"You won’t be in danger, and I won’t allow you to be. Don’t talk to about those ssy...words."
The term "last words" wouldn’t co out of Lu Jinghan’s mouth.
Han Xi’s eyelids fell, and her heart felt like it was plunging into a bottomless pit, shattered into pieces.
