Chapter 91 The Death of Shuyan
Chapter 91 The Death of Shuyan
Yunzhi's heart nearly stopped from fright, and she instinctively stepped back, trying to avoid the car.
The white van seemed to be equipped with radar, firmly locking onto Yunzhi's location.
As the white van drew closer and closer, it came to within ten meters of her.
Yunzhi thought with near despair.
There's no escaping it!
She had originally planned to visit Tongtong's grave, but now it seems she can only leave this world with regrets.
"Brother, I'm sorry..."
"boom!"
At the critical moment, the black Land Rover crashed into the white minivan first.
The powerful impact sent the white van flying almost instantly. The black Land Rover fared no better; its front end was dented and black smoke was billowing out. Shattered windshield glass was scattered everywhere.
One of the pieces of glass grazed Yunzhi's cheek.
She seemed oblivious to the sting, staring blankly at the scene. The next second, tears streamed down Yunzhi's face as she let out a heart-wrenching scream and lunged forward.
"elder brother!"
"Wake up! The car is about to explode! If you stay here any longer, you won't survive either!" Ye Chengyan, who had just rushed over from behind, grabbed Yunzhi's waist and roared as he dragged her backward.
Damn it, can't Yunzhi see that the overturned white van is already on fire?
Couldn't she smell the gasoline in the air?
Everyone around her scattered and ran away, but she was the only one who rushed forward recklessly!
She was willing to risk her life for Cheng Shuyan!
Ye Chengyan was terrified, but mostly relieved.
Thankfully, it wasn't Yunzhi who got into trouble.
Fortunately, Cheng Shuyan arrived in time.
Ye Chengyan glanced at the black Land Rover with a complicated expression. Through the broken windshield, he could see Cheng Shuyan lying there motionless, his face covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance.
"If I can't live, I can't live. I'm the one who should have died!" Yunzhi struggled desperately. She lowered her head and bit Ye Chengyan's hand hard.
"Ouch! Yunzhi, are you crazy?!" Ye Chengyan's face contorted in pain, but his grip tightened, giving Yunzhi no chance to break free.
He was half-dragging Yunzhi, and they had only gone less than five meters away.
"boom!"
The white van exploded, and the flames engulfed it almost instantly, gradually spreading towards the black Land Rover.
"Brother! Cheng Shuyan, Cheng Shuyan! No!" Yunzhi cried out in despair.
At the moment of fading consciousness.
Cheng Shuyan mustered all her strength to lift her head, her eyes half-open, and looked in the direction of Yunzhi.
Through the black smoke, he could vaguely see Yunzhi's location.
Upon confirming that Yunzhi was still alive, Cheng Shuyan smiled with satisfaction.
"Zhizhi, it's so good, you're still alive..."
His voice grew fainter and fainter until he finally passed out completely.
There was a bang.
A deafening explosion sounded.
Yunzhi watched helplessly as Cheng Shuyan was completely engulfed in flames.
The scorching flames brushed against her hair, bringing with them a burnt smell.
She slowly stopped struggling, staring blankly at the firelight before her.
Tears blurred her vision.
At this moment, Yunzhi felt as if she were dying of heartache.
If it weren't for her, Cheng Shuyan would surely have lived to be a hundred years old.
She should have died long ago.
Why did she come here? Why didn't she listen to Cheng Shuyan? Why did she harm Cheng Shuyan?
She's a jinx!
A strong sense of self-loathing completely eroded Yunzhi's rationality.
Seeing that Yunzhi was no longer struggling, Ye Chengyan released her.
When he saw Yunzhi with tears streaming down her face, staring blankly at the black Land Rover that was burned down to its frame like a soulless rag doll, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed hard by something.
"Brother! Brother!" Yunzhi collapsed to the ground.
"Cheng Shuyan!"
The screams around her brought her to her senses. She tried to crawl over using both hands and feet, but was stopped by Ye Chengyan once again.
"Yunzhi, Cheng Shuyan is dead! Even if you go there now, he can't come back to life! A meaningless sacrifice is a waste, do you know that?"
"I don't know! Ye Chengyan, if it weren't for you, I would have left here long ago! Cheng Shuyan wouldn't have died saving me. It's all because of you, all because of you!"
Yunzhi looked at Ye Chengyan with intense hatred.
Ye Chengyan was struck dumb, staring at Yunzhi in disbelief. "You...you hate me?"
"Yes, Ye Chengyan, I hate you, I hate you!"
Yunzhi screamed in near collapse.
Her voice pierced Ye Chengyan's eardrums and deeply penetrated his heart, causing him excruciating pain that made his face turn pale.
Ye Chengyan swayed, almost unable to stand.
He looked at the woman before him, who held no love for him, only hatred, and his heart was filled with resentment.
This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening!
Yunzhi would never show him that kind of expression.
She clearly loved him so much.
Ye Chengyan half-squatted down, pinched her chin with one hand, and looked into her eyes.
His expression was fierce and manic.
"So what if you hate me? Cheng Shuyan is dead, you have no backer anymore, Yunzhi, you only have me left, you can only obediently follow me."
Cheng Shuyan is dead!
My brother is dead!
With a loud bang, Yunzhi's vision went black, and she almost fainted.
[Please note that there are only six hours left before the host leaves this world!]
The familiar mechanical sound rang out again.
Yunzhi asked herself, as if grasping at the last straw.
'System, is there any way to bring Cheng Shuyan back to life?! He shouldn't have died! Please, is there any way?'
[Host, the dead cannot be brought back to life; even the system cannot do that.]
"Impossible! You managed to bring me to this world, what can't you do! I'm willing to pay any price as long as Cheng Shuyan can come back to life!"
Yunzhi was in so much pain that she almost suffocated.
Please…
I cannot let him die because of me.
The system did not reject Yunzhi immediately.
Yunzhi was overjoyed, but this was quickly followed by fear and unease.
She was afraid of hearing the system's denial.
Cheng Shuyan died saving her; she owed Cheng Shuyan a debt.
She owes Cheng Shuyan her life.
Regret almost overwhelmed Yunzhi.
A moment later, the system asked again.
[Is the host certain they are willing to pay any price, even if it means losing their way back to the real world?]
Unable to return to the real world?
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment.
Then, without thinking, she said, "I do."
Ye Chengyan frowned when he suddenly heard Yunzhi say "I do".
"What do you want?"
At the moment Cheng Shuyan was engulfed by the flames, tears welled up in Yunzhi's eyes.
She was the most foolish and cowardly one.
Why do people only learn to cherish something after they've lost it?
Yunzhi then realized that she had long since fallen for Cheng Shuyan.
She just never dared to admit it, nor dared to face her own heart.
Having experienced Ye Chengyan's betrayal.
She was afraid of falling in love with someone, and afraid of giving her heart away.
She killed Cheng Shuyan.
"System, I'm willing! I don't want anything anymore, I'm willing to give everything, I just hope he can live."
