Chapter 819 - 84: Between Marrying You and Paying with My Life, I’d Rather Live to Marry You
Gripping the document bag tightly in his hand, Rong Sinan only felt that the lightweight document bag weighed a thousand pounds on his heart!
Rong Sinan’s eyes sank. Without any hesitation, he opened the document bag and took out the document.
Just as he was about to flip open the document, Gu Yan suddenly pressed down his hand holding the document from behind.
Rong Sinan narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan’s eyes were flushed red, "Brother, think carefully."
Inside the document, there were records of Yige’s life in Canada for over a year.
And within these, were also recorded all the painful memories Yige had experienced.
Just reading it made him want to take a knife to destroy Tang Ruan, let alone him!
Rong Sinan said nothing, forcefully pushing away Gu Yan’s hand pressing down on his own, using his actions to show Gu Yan his resolve to read it and his need to read it.
Seeing this, Gu Yan turned around abruptly, with his back facing Rong Sinan as he resolutely opened the document.
...
About ten minutes passed, still no sound from behind, the crisp sound of flipping the paper had stopped several minutes ago.
Gu Yan initially only wanted to give him time to digest what he’d seen from the document.
But seeing him remain silent for so long, he couldn’t help but find it strange.
Gu Yan pursed his lips, and slowly turned around.
Upon seeing Rong Sinan standing behind him like a frozen stone, Gu Yan gasped in shock, "Brother."
Rong Sinan didn’t react.
The whole person seemed to have completely lost his ability to perceive the outside world.
He still held the document, but his chest was calm, not a breath of life.
His face was ashen, his eyes red and dry, without a shred of expression.
Gu Yan couldn’t feel a hint of vitality from him.
He seemed already... dead!
This thought made Gu Yan’s face suddenly turn pale, and he hurriedly reached out to check Rong Sinan’s breath.
Then, with his forefinger to his nostrils, Gu Yan still didn’t perceive any movement of breath.
Gu Yan was in panic, shocked, his hands hastily gripping Rong Sinan’s arm, "Brother, Brother..."
Rong Sinan had no response.
"Brother, Brother!!"
Gu Yan was extremely frantic, raising his hand to rub Rong Sinan’s stiff and cold face, but no matter how he shouted his name or rubbed his face, he still showed no sign of being alive.
Gu Yan’s heart felt as if it had been suddenly put into an ice bucket, making his whole body shiver.
Gu Yan’s eyes were bloodshot, panting heavily as he looked around, not seeing any medical staff passing by.
Gu Yan dared not delay, sprinted towards the hospital building.
Within less than two minutes, Gu Yan returned, leading a few medical personnel with a stretcher rushing over.
Rong Sinan remained in the same posture as when Gu Yan left, like a sculpture carved from stone.
Gu Yan and two men carried Rong Sinan onto the stretcher, then sprinted towards the hospital’s emergency room.
Due to the urgency, the two carrying the stretcher were running with all their might, the stretcher bumping violently, yet the document tightly held in Rong Sinan’s hand did not fall.
...
In two days, a family of three ended up in the emergency room one by one.
When Rong Sinan was sent into the emergency room, his breathing and heartbeat had stopped, the whole person in shock due to excessive emotional agitation, the situation extremely critical.
Gu Yan was outside the emergency room, holding his head, repeatedly banging his forehead against the hospital corridor wall.
Nie Xiaoxing arrived at the hospital an hour after Gu Yan called with an extremely hoarse, trembling voice.
When she arrived, Gu Yan was holding his head, squatting in the corner behind a long bench, from afar, Nie Xiaoxing could feel the sadness and helplessness emanating from him.
Nie Xiaoxing looked at Gu Yan, her fingers lightly curled into her palm, stepping towards him.
She stood in front of Gu Yan, looking down at him, her eyes as clear and bright as black grapes quickly flashing with a softness.
Sighing softly in her heart, Nie Xiaoxing walked to Gu Yan’s side, took off the spiky bag on her back, placed it on the ground, and slowly lowered herself down.
She didn’t speak to him, just quietly stayed with him.
The ticking of time echoed between the two of them.
Not knowing how long had passed.
Gu Yan spoke, "Nie Xiaoxing."
Nie Xiaoxing’s clear eyes flickered, turning her head to look at him, "Hmm?"
"Will Brother be okay?" Gu Yan’s voice was hoarse, asking her without lifting his head.
"No, it won’t." Nie Xiaoxing glanced at the corner of his eye where it was reddened, and spoke softly.
The rare gentle tone made one feel at ease and trustful.
"I’m a bit cold," Gu Yan said.
Nie Xiaoxing stared at him for a while, then slowly reached out and embraced his shoulder.
Nie Xiaoxing was very thin, her two arms reached around his chest and back, and when she held him, Gu Yan even felt a bit uncomfortable.
But the faint mint scent on her was very pleasant.
Gu Yan turned his head, burying his face into Nie Xiaoxing’s "flat" chest.
Nie Xiaoxing’s chest contracted slightly, and when she pursed her lips and looked down at him, a touch of red flitted across her fair ear tips.
"Nie Xiaoxing."
Gu Yan called her again with that scratchy voice, lacking a sense of security, eliciting affection.
Xiao Xing tenderly looked at his delicate profile, and softly responded, "I’m here."
"Will Brother be okay?"
"...He’ll be fine," Nie Xiaoxing paused before speaking.
"If something happens to Brother, I’ll pay with my life!" Gu Yan said, with a serious tone.
Nie Xiaoxing’s heart ached a little, she frowned looking at Gu Yan, and said nothing.
"Nie Xiaoxing." Gu Yan called out to her again, his voice carrying a slight sob.
Nie Xiaoxing felt stifled in her chest, unconsciously hugging him tighter, "Mhm."
"Brother has been in the emergency room for almost two hours. Will he really be okay?" Gu Yan repeated.
Nie Xiaoxing’s fingertips twitched lightly, then she raised a hand to gently stroke Gu Yan’s head, "Mhm, it’ll be fine."
"I won’t really have to pay with my life, right?"
"..." Nie Xiaoxing looked at him, the softness in her dark eyes was very apparent, "No, you won’t."
"..." Gu Yan remained silent for a while before speaking again, "Nie Xiaoxing."
"Mhm," Nie Xiaoxing answered lightly.
"If Brother gets through this safely, I’ll marry you," Gu Yan said.
Nie Xiaoxing’s face tensed up, she stared at him without speaking.
"Between marrying you and paying with my life, I think I’d rather live and marry you!" Gu Yan said.
"..." Nie Xiaoxing’s gentleness in her eyes was successfully dispersed by Gu Yan’s words.
She decided that once Rong Sinan came safely out of the emergency room, she’d cut off his tongue since he couldn’t say anything nice anyway, let him be mute instead, less annoying!
...
After two and a half hours of emergency treatment, Rong Sinan finally regained his breath, narrowly escaping death’s door and coming back.
When Rong Sinan was pushed out of the emergency room, Gu Yan covered his face with both hands, pressed tight, his eyes shut under his palms, daring not to look.
Fearing that Rong Sinan would be pushed out with a covered head!
Nie Xiaoxing glanced at Rong Sinan’s chest, seeing a faint movement, she immediately felt relieved in her heart, disdainfully looking at the "coward" standing beside her, Nie Xiaoxing strode heavily in her metal-styled Martin boots towards the doctor.
"Doctor, how is my brother’s condition?"
The real reason Nie Xiaoxing called Rong Sinan ’Brother’ was because she didn’t know how else to address him, so she followed Gu Yan in calling him Brother.
But Gu Yan heard it.
His heart scoffed, not married yet, and already calling him Brother so smoothly, shameless!
"The patient has been rescued. Although the process was thrilling, fortunately it was dangerous yet without harm," the doctor said, seemingly tired, wiping sweat from his forehead to Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It’s my duty."
The doctor said, instructing two nurses, "Take this gentleman to the ward."
"I want a VIP ward," Gu Yan responded rapidly upon hearing the doctor say Rong Sinan was "without harm," telling the nurse.
Nie Xiaoxing rolled her eyes wordlessly.
"Nie Xiaoxing, follow the nurse to the ward to look after Brother, I’ll go handle the admission procedures," Gu Yan casually assigned tasks to Nie Xiaoxing.
Nie Xiaoxing turned, coldly staring at Gu Yan, "I’ll handle the admission procedures."
After finishing, she brushed past Gu Yan coldly.
As she passed by him, Nie Xiaoxing didn’t even spare him a glance.
Gu Yan, "..." stared at Nie Xiaoxing, seeing her respond with arrogance and a lack of regard, feeling inexplicably angry inside!
