Chapter 29 – No, I died (3)
“No, no, no, you didn’t die.”
“I didn’t die?” Lu Lixing quietly said, “You covered my face with the blanket. When I opened my eyes, I saw a cover of whiteness and heard you say all those heartfelt words to me. You almost convinced me that I really had died.”
Ji Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat, and her body trembled. She did her best to show a smile that wasn’t too integrating. “You’re young and so full of promise. I’m sure you’ll live to a hundred-years-old.”
“Really? You hope that I’ll live to a hundred-years-old?”
Ji Qingqing justly and forcefully said, “Of course!”
If Lu Lixing could live to a hundred-years-old, then there was no way that Lu Liting would inherit the Lu family’s enterprise, and she wouldn’t have to exhaust herself racking her brains to avoid the male and female lead’s halos.
“I really hope that you’ll be healthy and live to a hundred-years-old. If it was possible, I would be willing to give you half of my lifespan.”
Someone had onced asked Ji Qingqing, would you rather have unlimited money to spend but only live to fifty-years-old or would you rather have eternal life but live in poverty?
What a silly question!
Although life was precious, she would of course choose the first option!
If there was only poverty left in her life with no hope of changing it, then life was pointless.
If Lu Lixing died, her situation would probably become the latter option. If Lu Lixing lived, her life would be the first option. So, of course, she wanted Lu Lixing to continue living.
Lu Lixing’s eyes were deep. As he stared at her, his pitch-black eyes only had Ji Qingqing in them.
“If I died today, what would you do?”
Ji Qingqing’s eyes turned. She tactfully believed that staying silent would be the best option right now.
“Come on, tell me.”
“Let’s talk about something that sounds more pleasant instead of something so unlucky. Your health isn’t good. You should lie back down…” Ji Qingqing bowed and lowered her head. She was about to escape the encirclement of his arms.
Lu Lixing moved sideways to block her escape. It put an end to all of her little movements. “You’ve already said that you’ll burn incense and paper money for me. Why would you be scared about saying other unlucky words?”
Ji Qingqing’s smile stiffened. She tentatively suggested, “That I’ll wear a black dress and hold a white bouquet while I attend your funeral?”
“I’ll be the one that’s crying the saddest at the funeral?”
“I’ll take a photo while holding your ashes and a black-and-white photo of you?”
“…”
Ji Qingqing thought about it and seriously said, “I’ll always remember you.”
The two people settled into silence.
Lu Lixing sighed. He looked at her with a matching serious expression. “Ji Qingqing, listen to me. I won’t die. I’ll take care of everything that you’re worrying about. I won’t let Lu Liting bully you either. Do you understand?”
“Oh.”
Lu Lixing raised his voice, “En?”
Ji Qingqing quickly nodded. “I understand.”
Although she didn’t understand why Lu Lixing was making this solemn vow, his sincere words made her heart pound quickly.
It felt as if she had eaten a piece of candy.
“You can leave now. I’m going to rest for a while.”
At the same time, a trembling voice from outside the room sounded as if was getting closer.
Ji Qingqing’s heart skipped a beat. This wasn’t good. Aunty Pei…
“Lixing, grandpa is here. Open your eyes and look at grandpa… How could you be so cruel? How could you leave without seeing grandpa one more time?!”
“Young Master, look, Aunty Pei made your favorite glutinous rice wine dumpling soup… Look at Aunty Pei.. Take one last look at Aunty Pei!”
“Young Master ah… Waa… Wahh…”
“Young Master!”
The air was filled with heartbreaking cries.
