With only a faint sense of his surroundings, vague noises echoed in and out of his ears as if he was back on the sickbed listening to the subtle noises of the life-saving equipment.
His knees could not further withstand the pressure, so Lu Lixing was forced to lie on his back. Struggling, his tired, half-opened eyes saw a strange face.
“Sir, what’s wrong with you?” A policeman noticed him and hurriedly shouted, “Quick, call an ambulance!”
It’s not her.
“Qingqing…” Unable to make a sound from his mouth, his murmured words were only visible by the movement of his lips.
——“Five seconds left.”
“… Qingqing.” He used all of his remaining strength to try and take one last look at her.
——”Five.”
“Sir, can you stand up?”
Lu Lixing struggled and stood up with the help of the police officer’s support.
——“Four, three…”
Ji Qingqing broke free from the protection of several police officers and pushed through the crowd, running directly toward Lu Lixing.
“Lu Lixing!”
Lu Lixing looked toward the direction of the sound.
——”Two…”
Lu Lixing spoke with difficulty. “I’m here…”
——The system’s small, non-emotional, mechanical voice sounded out, “The mission failed. Your life value is below 0. Cause of death, organ failure.”
Bzzz——
His sense of hearing was lost in an instant and there was complete silence around him, not a single sound could be heard. It felt as if he was in an extremely quiet world.
While laboriously breathing, his line of sight fell on Ji Qingqing who was running toward him in a panic. Lu Lixing felt his body fluttering as if he was about to leave this quiet world.
I’m so tired.
He had never been so tired to the point where every inch of his body had ceased to work, leaving only tired bones as he helplessly looked around at everything in front of him in black and white.
I can’t even move or speak.
Before he lost all his senses, he felt someone hug him. And at that moment, his body suddenly fell with a thud, his soul becoming trapped inside his body.
Ji Qingqing, who was rushing toward him, hugged him quickly but had to kneel down due to the weight of Lu Lixing’s body.
Lu Lixing leaned his head on Ji Qingqing’s shoulders, his eyes closed tightly. His face was pale and his whole body looked devoid of life.
“Lu Lixing? What’s wrong with you?”Ji Qingqing didn’t know what happened, nor did she know if he was injured or where he was injured. She didn’t dare to touch him brashly, so she could only call his name softly in his ear.
——“His task was to choose a wedding dress for you within three hours, but obviously, he failed the task.”
“Xiao… Xiao A, the mission failed?” Ji Qingqing’s voice trembled softly. “Xiao A, come… come out.”
There was no reply.
“No, it’s impossible… Xiao A, come out!” The tears in Ji Qingqing’s eyes suddenly overflowed. As she felt the temperature of Lu Lixing’s body gradually fade, her heart cooled down inch by inch.
No! This is impossible!
He looked so healthy. He goes to the gym every day, and his movements were so agile when he caught the criminal. How could he be lying in my arms right now?
“Lu Lixing, Lu Lixing, wake up!” Ji Qingqing forced herself to hold back her tears and her inner turmoil as she struggled to keep calm.
“Lu Lixing, don’t leave me, I won’t argue with you anymore, I won’t lose my temper with you anymore. So please, will you wake up?”
“Please wake up, does calling you ‘husband’ still work? Husband, husband, wake up…”
A policeman came over and quickly separated the two of them. “Miss Ji, please let go of Mr. Lu, we need to perform CPR!”
Ji Qingqing was pulled up and had to let go of the hand that was holding Lu Lixing’s tightly.
While an experienced policeman performed CPR on him, Ji Qingqing was helped up, only to find that her legs had grown soft and that her back was drenched from cold sweat.
“He will be fine, right?” she murmured to the policeman who was holding her up.
The policeman consoled her, “He’ll be fine.”
Ji Qingqing comforted herself, muttering, “Yes, it will be fine, everything will be fine.”
“Xiao A? Are you there?”
——“I’m here.”
Ji Qingqing seemed to have grabbed a lifeline. “Is there any way you can save him?”
——”Yes there is.”
“What should I do?”
——”As long as you are willing to share your life with your husband, then he may come back alive. Are you willing?”
Ji Qingqing did not hesitate. “I agree!”
——“But think about it long and hard, it’s sharing…”
“I do, I do, I do! Come on, hurry up!”
There was no response.
The officer who rescued Lu Lixing performed CPR on him continuously, yet Lu Lixing remained motionless. Ji Qingqing fixed her gaze on him, not daring to blink for fear of missing something.
She had made a deal with the system just now and the system had promised her that Lu Lixing would definitely not die!
He’ll definitely live!
After ten minutes, the officer who was resuscitating Lu Lixing became tired, so another officer took over. While walking back to the sidelines, he sighed and wanted to say something to Ji Qingqing but was stopped by his fellow police officer who shook his head in disapproval.
Ji Qingqing shook her head to clear her mind, took a deep breath, and told herself to calm down.
Lu Lixing would be fine. Xiao A had promised me just now that he’d definitely be fine.
When Lu Lixing’s eyes rolled slowly under his eyelids, Ji Qingqing’s heart leaped in her chest and she rubbed her eyes.
Did she hallucinate just now?
Is Lu Lixing really waking up?
Lu Lixing’s eyelids moved slightly as if he was feeling extremely uneasy.
Ji Qingqing’s body trembled with excitement as she walked over to Lu Lixing’s side. When Lu Lixing slowly opened his eyes, his tired yet relieved eyes met Ji Qingqing’s weeping eyes amidst the crowd surrounding him.
Lu Lixing said with difficulty, “I’m here.”
Ji Qingqing held his hand and placed her forehead on the back of his hand. As she felt the temperature of his body warm, she couldn’t help but cry. “You scared me to death.”
The ambulance finally arrived at this time.
With only a faint sense of his surroundings, vague noises echoed in and out of his ears as if he was back on the sickbed listening to the subtle noises of the life-saving equipment.
