Jiang Xuecheng was wet all over and his hair was a mess, but his eyes were brighter than the sun in the sky, as if they wanted to suck people in.
He hugged Su Wan in ecstasy, and kept feeling grateful regardless of whether Su Wan was listening or not.
"I'm glad you're okay... I'm so glad you didn't wake up."
Before Su Wan fell into a coma, his heartbeat slowed down a lot, and his pulse was so weak that it was frightening!
Jiang Xuecheng never knew that he could be so scared of others that he wanted to transfer all the pain in Su Wan to himself.
Fortunately, she survived.
Jiang Xuecheng's eyes were deep, and he suddenly remembered something.
He began to pat Su Wan's back eagerly, his dark and bright phoenix eyes staring at Su Wan without blinking.
"Wanwan, are you okay? The river water was so cold just now, are you cold?"
When Su Wan heard the Chinese voice, her eyelids twitched and her fingertips turned white.
—
Ever since he woke up after the DNA test that day, he refused to call her by that name anymore.
Is this a change today
Jiang Xuecheng didn't notice Su Wan's awkwardness at all. He adjusted his posture and took off his suit jacket.
Then, he draped it over Su Wan in a gesture that refrained from rejection.
After doing all these things, the man hugged Su Wan even tighter, with such strength that it seemed as if he wanted to rub Su Wan into his bones.
Jiang Xuecheng's strength was so great that Su Wan felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't warn him in the end.
Looking at the stern yet extremely embarrassed face in front of him, Su Wan felt that all this was just like a dream.
Even less real than a dream.
She really thought she was going to die, but she didn't. If she was not mistaken, she was very close to the other end of the waterfall and the situation was very dangerous.
It must have been very difficult for Jiang Xuecheng to rescue her, right
Su Wan had known Jiang Xuecheng for such a long time, but she had never seen him in such a miserable state.
Because she inhaled too much water, although Jiang Xuecheng gave her first aid, Su Wan's lungs still felt uncomfortable and she coughed.
“Ahem… ahem.”
Jiang Xuecheng was startled and quickly slowed down the action of patting Su Wan's back, helping Su Wan to calm down.
"Wanwan, are you okay—"
Jiang Xuecheng hugged Su Wan, he lowered his eyebrows, and his voice was more gentle than ever before.
Su Wan raised her eyes slightly, staring at Jiang Xuecheng, whose face was a little pale, and saw the genuine concern in his eyes.
After the two looked at each other for two seconds, Su Wan was the first to feel guilty.
She lowered her eyes and lingered on Jiang Xuecheng's wrinkled shirt for a while.
The shirt was really dirty, and even had a lot of weeds and mud on it.
Even someone with mysophobia like Jiang Xuecheng could actually endure it.
Su Wan let Jiang Xuecheng hold her in his arms numbly, but her heart was filled with turmoil, far from the calm she appeared to be on the outside.
She has never been a heartless person, and seeing Jiang Xuecheng treating her like this, she couldn't help but be moved.
Su Wan glanced at Jiang Xuecheng's bloodless lips and frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Just now Jiang Xuecheng asked her if she was cold, and gave her the coat without waiting for her answer. It was not because he didn’t need it, but because he was... worried about herself
Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have not expected Su Wan to care about him. He was stunned when he heard the words, and then silently revealed a faint smile.
The smile was very slight, but it made people feel like a spring breeze, indescribably soothing.
"I'm fine. If anything happens to me, who will take care of you?"
When Su Wan heard the first half of the sentence, she wanted to nod, but when she heard the whole sentence, her face froze and she could only pretend that she heard nothing.
Jiang Xuecheng was also very nice when he treated her well.
But…
She really didn't dare to think of him as the same person as before.
Su Wan leaned her head on Jiang Xuecheng's shoulder, only to feel that Jiang Xuecheng was not much better than herself, and his body was also terribly cold.
Su Wan's brows furrowed even more tightly. She stretched out her hand and blew a breath through her mouth.
Su Wan didn't know if it was the effect of psychological comfort or the faint warmth from blowing on her hands, but she felt better.
Su Wan thought that no matter what, she and Jiang Xuecheng could not stay here any longer.
"Then shall we walk back first?"
Jiang Xuecheng nodded gently, and then wanted to help Su Wan up. They had just stood up and had not taken a few steps when Su Wan realized that Jiang Xuecheng was in very poor health.
The two of them took difficult steps forward, almost stumbling and holding on to each other.
Moreover, Jiang Xuecheng seemed to be even weaker than her, but on the surface, apart from his pale face, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the man.
Su Wan looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitating for a long time, and finally stopped and asked the first question.
"Are you really okay?"
Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly and shook his head. He was about to pull Su Wan forward, but his knees went weak, and he fell forward as he felt dizzy.
"careful-"
Su Wan stretched out her hand and quickly grabbed Jiang Xuecheng's body.
Because Jiang Xuecheng was tall and his weight when he fell was far beyond what Su Wan could match. Su Wan was carried to the ground by Jiang Xuecheng's forward force.
Jiang Xuecheng used the little strength he had left to protect Su Wan and used his body as a cushion for Su Wan.
With two loud bangs, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng fell to the ground together.
After all, Su Wan was protected by someone, so her situation was much better than Jiang Xuecheng's. She rubbed her painful palm, and as soon as she got up, she reached out to hold Jiang Xuecheng's hand.
However, she suddenly felt a layer of sticky liquid between Jiang Xuecheng's palms.
This is-
Su Wan suddenly lowered his head, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Su Wan had not noticed before that Jiang Xuecheng's hand was bleeding so much. There were scars on Jiang Xuecheng's palm, and some solidified blood scabs.
"Your hand is injured?! When?!"
These scars were obviously not caused by the fall.
"It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning."
Jiang Xuecheng seemed to be completely unaware of the tears in Su Wan's eyes. He spoke lightly and then withdrew his hand very naturally.
He didn't want Su Wan to worry, so he never mentioned the experience of almost falling from the waterfall into the deep pool, let alone how he climbed up with all the hardships.
Su Wan glanced at the ferocious palm, her heart ached, and her slender body began to tremble inevitably.
Su Wan didn't know that Jiang Xuecheng almost died for her, but she already felt how difficult it was for Jiang Xuecheng just now.
Although Jiang Xuecheng was the instigator, Su Wan had no time to blame him when she saw him like this. Instead, she felt a little apologetic.
"I'll help you walk."
As Su Wan spoke, she leaned Jiang Xuecheng's body against her shoulder.
