    ?279: Chapter 221: I Would Die Without You!


    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 handsome, 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 me.”


    Nanxi hesitated before asking,”Where will you take me?”


    The man replied, “Anywhere you want.”


    Nanxi blinked.


    She longed to visit Denmark, thend of fairy tales and dreams, and the homnd her mother often spoke of, the maind, which her mother affectionately referred to as home.


    “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 some thought, she added, “They might look for me!”


    The man said nothing in response.


    As Nanxi peered at the figure and the indistinguishable face of the man, she felt a wave of mncholy 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 nket – one that he had just ced 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 destion 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 moment before suggesting, “Tired, huh?


    Did you overwork yourself today?


    Maybe you should get some 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 something…”


    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 seemed as though he had taken a deep breath before saying, “Nanxi, you’re too tired.


    Get some sleep.


    You can tell me next time.


    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 augh, Li Weihuan exined, “Nanxi, I really need to go now, the nurse seems hurt and is crying.


    I need to find someone 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 nce to other women…”


    He paused, then added, “Nanxi, remember this.


    I love you.


    I love you very much.


    Without you, I would die!


    Do you believe me?”


    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 eyshes quivered, her faltering strength gave way and she slowly crouched by the window frame.


    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 handsome man, sitting on the floor amidst pieces of a broken vase, oblivious to the bloodstains on his hospital gown.
