Chapter 290 - It’s You ! It’s Really You!
Chapter 290 – It’s You ! It’s Really You!
Su Wan stiffened, she whirled around in a hurry and what she saw made her legs go even more jelly than they already were. In front of her stood a big wolf the size of a trolley, its belly was pierced by someone most likely by Lin Jing but it was still very much alive and kicking. Even with the blood gushing out of its belly like water draining out of a broken pipe, its eyes still had their ferocious vitality.
Su Wan couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the wolf in front of her, if the wolf was still alive then what about Lin Jing? Her heart that have already dropped to the pits of her stomach twisted felt as if a pair of icy cold hands gripped it and gave it a hard squeeze.
She didn't want to believe it but the evidence of Lin Jing's fall was standing right in front of her breathing and moving while she couldn't catch a single glimpse of Lin Jing. Her heart wrenched in pain as tears blurred her eyes, to think she would lose Lin Jing like this, why was she so stupid? Why didn't she forgive him earlier? Even if he made a mistake she should have known how Lin Jing was, he hardly spoke sweet words and didn't know how to coax anyone with his bland and stoic nature. Why didn't she forgive him earlier? But no matter how much Su Wan regretted it now, she couldn't do anything.
Fear and pain burst in her veins like boiling poison, she could no longer think straight. All she knew was that even if she died tonight it will be worth it because she couldn't stand the thought of living her life without Lin Jing. He was her first man in this world, the first person who showed her real genuine care. Though she was calculating and had a petty temper, Lin Jing hardly ever got mad at her and tried to play along with her as much as he could. He also brought finely polished rice for her one time when he hunted a boar.
In her grief, she forgot that she also had four other husbands to take care of, she was just too aggrieved to even think straight anymore.
The big grey wolf too seemed to have sensed that Su Wan was preparing to do something drastic, thus he didn't give her a chance to turn her situation around instead he lunged at her, aiming its jaw right on Su Wan's neck. Su Wan stiffened but then with a shrill cry she attacked the wolf, her eyes closed as she aimed her cleaver at the wolf's head even if she died tonight she will bring this wolf down with her!
It was stupid, completely stupid but Su Wan still wanted to do it.
She closed her eyes as she rushed at the wolf and suddenly felt a gush of warm liquid splatter on her. She sighed in relief at least she killed the wolf before dying, then she waited for the impact of the wolf colliding with her but even after two seconds later she felt nothing, instead she heard a rather angry voice, a voice that she thought she will never hear ever again.
"What is wrong with you ?" Lin Jing who came running to stop the wolf from tackling Su Wan, couldn't help but scold her angrily. He never thought that he would see Su Wan here in a place where she had no point to be at, earlier because the Wolf has pierced his skin and tore his flesh, Lin Jing have run away and climbed up a tree. He wanted to take a breather before tackling the wolf but before he could so much as take a sigh of relief, he heard Su Wan's voice, first, he thought maybe he lost too much blood and started hallucinating but when the wolf turned around and focussed its attention on something else, Lin Jing realised that Su Wan came to the mountains searching for him!
Lin Jing was both worried and scared when he saw Su Wan standing like a wooden statue in front of the wolf. In the end, despite all his injuries, Lin Jing still climbed down the tree and rushed towards Su Wan because he hurt his leg when he fell from the cliff, Lin Jing was slower than usual which was why Su Wan didn't see him coming.
" Ah, Jing? Ah Jing it's really you? You are okay!"Su Wan didn't hear a single word of Lin Jing all her attention was on Lin Jing who was standing in front of her, though he was bloody and hurt – he was still alive and breathing!
Even though the injuries looked severe, Su Wan knew that they weren't life-threatening as long as she properly disinfected it the wounds won't get severely infected and everything would be fine.
Because Su Wan was a little too excited, she jumped at Lin Jing who was already badly battered and injured, the second Su Wan hugged him Lin Jing staggered and if not for his timely manner of embracing her properly the two of them would have fallen on the snow.
"You are okay! You are okay, oh Ah Jing you are okay" Su Wan was so overwhelmed that she couldn't help but start crying, she didn't want to but her eyes just wouldn't listen to her before she knew it, she was already crying like a child as she hugged Lin Jing " I – I didn't forgive you when you left and didn't even talk to you properly, that's all I could think about ever since I came to know that fell from the cliff. Oh, Ah Jing, I was so scared this was the only thing I could think about"
Lin Jing wanted to coax Su Wan but he was so much in pain that he couldn't do anything except awkwardly pat her. He was also feeling a bit feverish after staying in the cold for so long, the wolf has clawed on his clothes tearing his shirts to bits. Right now Lin Jing was feeling too cold even if he was a man of steel he couldn't help but shiver in such cold weather.
" Wan Wan, don't cry..look what I brought for you," said Lin Jing as he fiddled around in his pants pocket and pulled out a cutting of an exotic blue rose, the navy blue rose with white hues looked really mysterious. Su Wan who was from the modern world knew how rare it was to find blue roses and how expensive they were, she blinked her teary eyes and slapped Lin Jing where the latter wasn't injured before snapping unhappily " you what are you doing! You were attacked by a wolf yet you got time to get the cutting of this blue rose? Are you out of your mind!"
"I wanted to make you happy," said Lin Jing simply as if not understanding why Su Wan was getting mad again " I'm not weak, a wolf can't do anything to me. I was just careless and ended up in this accident, don't worry I didn't get injured when I was cutting this blue rose. I – I never saw something so pretty and thought that maybe you will like it. You like it do you Want Wan?"
Earlier Lin Jing has twisted in midair so that his fall was cushioned by the big wolf, thus he didn't get serious injuries but he successfully angered the wolf. Thus, Lin Jing had to run but while he was escaping he saw this rare blue rose and thought about how his second brother coaxed Su Wan, he found it really pretty so he decided to bring it for Su Wan who would have thought that before he could bring it to her, Su Wan would come to him on her own?
Like it? How can she not like it? To think this idiot was still thinking about how to coax her when he was being chased by a wolf. How can she not like it?
She nodded her head and too the blue rose from Lin Jing before saying " En, I like it"
" that's – that's good," said Lin Jing and then he fainted.
