If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofreader: Zhou Zhijie

The moment Qin Yang arrives together with the medical staff, he only hears a loud bombing sound from the underground parking lot!

His heart sinks…

In order not to cause more casualties, only after ensuring there is no second explosion while outside, does Qin Yang break in first! No damage was done to the garage. Only one of the cars catches fire. He quickly picked up the fire extinguisher on the wall next to it and sprays at the car with all his strength.

When a woman with blurred burnt face appears in his sight, Qin Yang instantly feels unable to breathe with his pupils contracted!

Just when he is about to get the woman into his arms with trembling hands and burst into tears, he hears a cry of surprise beside him, “Qiaosheng …”

This is Mu Ziyou’s voice. Yes, it is!

Then medical personnel notice that pair of man and woman who are bundling together in the corner. The woman seems to be okay, but the guy’s condition is a little…

When the car exploded, Mu Ziyou never expected that the man would protect Pudding and her under his bowed body so as not to press his body hard against theirs lest he would get them hurt. The last moment before he fainted away, he laboured out something like the last words with a smile, “You must live on happily with Pudding!”

“Qiaosheng darling!”

This occasion reminds her of that terrible earthquake. The moment she woke up, she saw the boy who was trapped there together with her, which is perhaps predestined.

She was then six and he, twelve, that year.

“Don’t be afraid. Someone will come to save us soon. Hold on! Hold on, little girl!”

Every time she was about to pass out, the boy would shout by her ear so loudly that she was prevented from falling into a coma. Later, when it rained, he fed her water with his hand. When she could not drink from his hand, he even bossily tried to get water down to her mouth directly from his own mouth.

And she remembers that after she said to him, “You are so good-looking, you must live on well”, he grabbed her hand and solemnly promised like a little man, “You, too. You must get out alive. When we meet in the future again, if you are not married, I will marry you.”

Finally, rescue came to them. However, during the process, what had formed a safe triangle structure collapsed. It was the boy who threw himself over her again, protecting her under him.

“My name is Li Qiaosheng. Yours?” Before he passed out, the boy asked in difficulty, with his eyes sparkling like the most beautiful stars in the sky.

Mu Ziyou finally could not help crying aloud, because she felt this good-looking brother was dying. While repeating her answer to his ear, “I’m Youyou, Youyou”, she tried to take hold of his hand and wrote down two letters, “YY”.

“My name is Youyou, Youyou!”

Li Qiaosheng has a long dream during which he recalls this unforgettable memory in his childhood. Although he was acquainted with the girl in the earthquake for only a few days, he came to feel the determination for the first time that he wants to protect her for her whole life.

In fact, after being rescued he woke up with the memory of the earthquake, but he failed to remember the girl’s name. He could only remember the sense of touch in his hand which was a letter “Y”.

That’s why when Xia Wanyan came to pretend to be the girl, he did not suspect her because her name also has an initial letter “Y”.

However, this time, he clearly hears the girl saying to him, “My name is Youyou. Youyou!”

At the same time, the scene suddenly changes to the car explosion, he also protects Mu Ziyou and her son under him, looking down at the face which shifts from the face of the little girl in her childhood to the face of Mu Ziyou now .

Mu Ziyou, you are the girl that I protected with my life in that earthquake, aren’t you?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
