Chapter 344 - 343: Attempting Suicide (7)
"Just the word ’good,’" she spoke, a single syllable.
It filled Ling Chuxia’s sinking heart with an instant swell of sweetness. Her eyes opened slightly, brimming with light, and her lips couldn’t help but curl up while her eyes crinkled with joy.
Although it was a simple request, she nonetheless felt an overwhelming surge of happiness she couldn’t contain.
She shifted her body, making room for Shi Che, who lifted the quilt and lay down slowly. Then, he opened his arms and held her close.
Nestled in Shi Che’s embrace, her head resting against his chest, she listened to his steady heartbeat and felt nothing but sweetness and peace. She couldn’t resist wrapping her arms tightly around Shi Che’s waist.
How she wished that time could stand still at this moment, or perhaps, that time could slow down even more, best of all, to stretch on without end.
That way, she wouldn’t have to think about anything, worry about anything, just embrace Shi Che like this until the end of time, until the seas dried and the rocks crumbled.
She was actually very tired, her eyelids drooping uncontrollably, yet she fought the urge to sleep, wanting to savor every moment with Shi Che.
As time ticked away, Ling Chuxia noticed Shi Che’s breathing slow down and even out. She sneaked a glance at him and, seeing his eyes were closed, she quietly opened her mouth and spat the pill she had been keeping in it into her palm.
