In the shabby dormitory...
2Qiao Hanye stood by the bed alone, looking at the sleeping He Lanjin. He leaned over to look at her, his fingers caressing her smooth forehead.
2"Ah Jin, remember when you said that if there was an afterlife, you would definitely have sex with me? I stand before you, alive. I will do whatever you want, as long as you wake up." Qiao Hanye's tried to make light of the situation by teasing He Lanjin, but there was no hiding the anxiety in his eyes.
2He had never been afraid of anything, but seeing He Lanjin unconscious made Qiao Hanye know and understand what fear was. He stood in front of He Lanjin, scared that she would not wake up.
2"You also promised that you would avenge me," Qiao Hanye added. "Soldiers never go back on their word."
2The door flew open and someone burst into the room.
2Panting, Zhao Yuyi ran into the room followed by the guards he had escaped from. Zhao Yuyi held on to the door as the guards dragged him out and said, "I might be able to save her!"
2Zhao Yuyi came to ask He Lanjin something only to find that the place was heavily guarded and that no one was allowed to come near. He was waiting outside for a chance to sneak in when he heard that He Lanjin might be dying.
2The news completely shocked Zhao Yuyi and hardened his resolve. He had to go in, whether or not the guards would allow him.
2Zhao Yuyi had seen and met many people outside the mountain area, which was his hometown, but he had never seen anyone as pure-hearted as He Lanjin.
2"Let him in," Qiao Hanye said when he heard Zhao Yuyi's words. Qiao Hanye dismissed the guards with a wave of his hand.
2Qiao Hanye looked fixedly at Zhao Yuyi. "How?" Qiao Hanye asked in a soft voice, wary of disturbing He Lanjin.
2Zhao Yuyi looked at Qiao Hanye, who sat beside He Lanjin on the bed. Zhao Yuyi was stunned, unable to believe how good the two looked together. He never knew that something could look as perfect as this couple did, as if they were a match made in heaven.
2But wasn't He Lanjin Lu Zifan's fiancée? Yes, they had broken up, but how did she end up with a man this soon?
2However, Zhao Yuyi also knew that a brave and kind woman like He Lanjin would never lack for suitors.
2"I have heard about an antidote, but I cannot guarantee its potency," Zhao Yuyi said bitterly. "No one has ever tried saving people who have been selected to be part of a ghost marriage." Ghost brides and grooms were abandoned by their families and directly sold to the families of the dead spouse-to-be.
2After they were sold, participants were buried alive with the dead spouse. It was to ensure that the unmarried dead would have a companion in the afterlife.
2"Get Shangguan Zhi," Qiao Hanye said to no one in particular, mobilizing secret guards that Zhao Yuyi did not even know were present.
2Qiao Hanye did not trust people; he was not about to start trusting Zhao Yuyi, especially with He Lanjin's life on the line.
2Before long, Shangguan Zhi arrived. He listened as Zhao Yuyi told him about the antidote. After reassuring Qiao Hanye that none of the ingredients were harmful, Shangguan Zhi prepared the antidote and gave it to He Lanjin.
2Shangguan Zhi stood by the bed and looked at He Lanjin nervously. "Her fingers, they moved," he said, astounded by the antidote's immediate effect.
2Qiao Hanye held He Lanjin's hand. "Ah Jin, how do you feel? Ah Jin," he said, relief evident in his voice.
2However, He Lanjin did not respond to Qiao Hanye. He bent down and looked at her nervously. He reached touched her face tenderly, hoping to wake her up, but was taken aback when He Lanjin suddenly jumped up and kissed him on the lips.
2Everyone was stunned; the room was filled with palpable *******.
2As soon as He Lanjin's lips touched Qiao Hanye's, she spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing his face bright red.
2"Xiao Jin..." Qiao Hanye said as He Lanjin fell back on the bed unconscious.
2Shangguan Zhi quickly checked He Lanjin. His expression changed. "She isn't breathing."
2Zhao Yuyi's face turned ashen. He staggered back half a step and fell to the floor. He did not want to harm anyone. The only thing he wanted was to save her, as she had saved him. He did not expect this to happen... how was he to know that the antidote would not work?
