Are those things not more important than her life?
Su Wan blinked her almond-shaped eyes with tears in them. She felt that she had never heard such touching words of love in her life.
However, the price of these words of love was too heavy. It was so heavy that Su Wan felt that she could not afford it.
Jiang Xuecheng had used his actions to prove that even if it was at the cost of his own health, he still hoped that she could live.
Or at worst… They could die together.
It was better than living alone.
Su Wan was curled up in Jiang Xuecheng’s arms. Her eyes were completely red, and tears were dripping down her face and into his neck.
It was heartbreaking.
“Xuecheng…”
Su Wan called out Jiang Xuecheng’s name, not knowing what to say.
She could only call out his name.
“I’m here.”
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head and suddenly touched Su Wan’s forehead with his lips.
The moment he touched her, they parted. There were no distracting thoughts or worries about the future. Instead, he seemed to dote on her.
He doted on Su Wan alone.
Su Wan leaned in the arms of Jiang Xuecheng and did not say anything else. She just repeated Jiang Xuecheng’s name.
“Xuecheng.”
It seemed that by calling Jiang Xuecheng like this, she could remove all the worries in her heart, and in an instant, it would be the end of time.
“I’m here.”
Jiang Xuecheng didn’t tire of saying this, and took the opportunity to pull Su Wan deeper into his arms.
The bonfire in the cave was bright, and the withered branches and leaves were burning with crackling sounds, emitting a wood fragrance that couldn’t be ignored.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng did not seem to be tired of this kind of language game, and they continued to repeat what they had said earlier.
“Xuecheng…”
“I’m here…”
It was not until she repeated it more than ten times that Su Wan stopped calling his name.
Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan quietly leaned against each other. Originally, Su Wan was worried that the blood stains on her body would seep into Jiang Xuecheng’s wound.
At this moment, there were no gaps between the two of them.
Since they were both poisoned, then might as well be together, even if they couldn’t see the sun tomorrow.
Su Wan was beginning to give up on herself. Even so, Su Wan couldn’t deny that there was still a trace of sour sweetness in her heart.
In such a short twenty years, there was a person who was willing to give up everything and even his life for her. It was really like a fairy tale.
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head and saw that Su Wan’s eyes were red, but she finally stopped crying. His heart was filled with pity.
He reached out and lightly brushed away the remaining tears on Su Wan’s face.
“Wan Wan, what are you thinking about?”
Su Wan shrank in Jiang Xuecheng’s arms. Her voice was faint, with a hint of a hoarse voice after crying.
“I’m thinking about you.”
Su Wan rarely admitted that she was thinking of Jiang Xuecheng. This man was too narcissistic. She was afraid of increasing the momentum of Jiang Xuecheng’s arrogance.
When Su Wan’s clear voice entered Jiang Xuecheng’s ears, he was stunned. He fixed his gaze on Su Wan. His eyes deepened, but the smile on his lips could not help but widen.
“What do you want me for? I’m right here. You don’t have to think about it. You can touch me directly.”
As he spoke, he unconsciously tightened his embrace around Su Wan’s arm.
The feeling of hugging her was so good.
As soon as Su Wan appeared, Jiang Xuecheng was unconsciously attracted to her. Unknowingly, she had already been branded so deeply in his heart that he could not separate her from his life.
Jiang Xuecheng confirmed that she was the rib that he had lost.
The two of them sat quietly for a while. In the end, both of them did not speak.
Only the sound of crackling branches was left.
The surroundings were unusually quiet. Su Wan could even hear Jiang Xuecheng’s heartbeat. It was sonorous and powerful.
After a long time, Su Wan was about to say something when she suddenly felt a gurgling sound coming from her stomach.
Su Wan’s attention had been on the important topic of life and death, so she had completely forgotten about being hungry.
Although Su Wan did not feel hungry, her body was very honest.
Indeed, she and Jiang Xuecheng had not eaten anything since noon.
When Su Wan heard the rumbling sound coming from her stomach, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curved into a mischievous smile. His smile was light and there was a hint of teasing on his face.
“Wan Wan, if it weren’t for your stomach growling, I would have forgotten that we haven’t eaten for such a long time. Let me find something for you to eat. There’s a fire here, we can catch a few fish to eat.”
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he let go of the arm that was holding Su Wan and said to Su Wan in a relaxed and generous manner.
“I’ll go with you.”
When Su Wan heard his words, she could naturally hear the teasing tone in his voice. Su Wan’s face unconsciously suffused with a faint blush that was like a rose.
Her face was originally pale, but now, due to the blush from her embarrassment, she looked much better.
After Su Wan finished speaking, she wanted to stand up with Jiang Xuecheng.
However, Jiang Xuecheng pressed on her uninjured shoulder, his expression extremely calm.
“No need, you stay here and wait for me.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was still injured, even though his scab had already healed, the wound still looked very ferocious.
After all, Su Wan did not dare to go too far. Due to Jiang Xuecheng’s own healing ability, she simply did not look for a fresh water source.
“No, Jiang Xuecheng, I want to go with you!”
Su Wan shouted anxiously and then stood up stubbornly. She slowly pried away the hand that Jiang Xuecheng placed on her shoulder.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Jiang Xuecheng’s deep black eyes were slightly startled, while Su Wan stared at him with an extremely determined expression.
“Didn’t Doctor Li say that because people who are infected with CHK Virus No.3 by drinking other people’s blood will immediately have a low-grade fever or paralysis? I’m afraid that you would suddenly faint.”
Jiang Xuecheng recalled doctor Li’s words. He hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding his head.
However, there was still an important matter that needed to be resolved before he could prepare dinner.
That was to have Jiang Xuecheng straighten his bones first.
When he had fallen from the cliff, Jiang Xuecheng had been in a much worse state than Su Wan. Unfortunately, he had bumped into a reef, so his leg was fractured.
Seeing the faint beads of sweat on Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face, Su Wan could not bear it. She stared at Jiang Xuecheng, her heart aching so much that she curled up into a ball.
“Is it very painful?”
Su Wan looked at him carefully, her clear almond-shaped eyes showing some concern.
“It’s fine. My bones are not seriously broken.”
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head lightly. In fact, this was far less painful than the fall from the cliff.
Su Wan saw Jiang Xuecheng say this. Although she was still worried, she did not say anything more.
With a dull crack, Jiang Xuecheng’s leg bones were just fine.
She should not have let the patient go to the beach to catch fish, but now that she had no other choice, Su Wan could only let Jiang Xuecheng suffer.
She could only pray that Jiang Xuecheng’s physique was better and that he would not be infected again.
As Jiang Xuecheng had said, if they were to die, they might as well be gluttons first.
