Chapter 21: Life hangs on a thread (3)
"help me--"
Hearing the heartbreaking cries for help, Zhou Cheng could no longer suppress his desire. He stretched out his arms and hugged Yin Yin tightly, letting her cry and vent without restraint. He secretly swore in his heart that he would do anything to keep her away from pain...
——A few days later——
Zhou Yan returned from the border. Zhou Cheng had just returned to the palace, while Yin Yin stayed in the [Prime Minister's Residence]. The first thing Zhou Yan did when he returned was to visit Yin Yin. After all, the news of Yin Yin's illness had already reached his ears. He would not allow it unless he saw Yin Yin safe and sound with his own eyes...
Zhou Cheng once told Zhang Ren that if Zhou Yan came back to see Yin Yin, they must avoid being alone together. For this reason, he also sent heavy troops to guard the [Prime Minister's Mansion] to prevent Zhou Yan from approaching or taking Yin Yin away easily. It was impossible to prevent Zhou Yan from seeing Yin Yin. If it was in the palace, it might be possible, but in the [Prime Minister's Mansion] Zhang Ren could not stop it, even with Zhou Cheng's strict order!
Spring is here and flowers are blooming.
There is a warmth in the wind.
Zhou Yan came to the courtyard where Yin Yin lived, and heard laughter coming from the courtyard...
It turned out that Yin Yin was not in the room, but was playing in the yard with Baihu, Xinxin, Lei'er and others!
Yinyin and her friends who were playing in the yard didn't notice anyone coming. In fact, Yinyin didn't join in the fun, she just sat aside and watched while Xinxin and Baihu were having a great time...
Yin Yin, who was sitting next to her, just picked up the teacup and prepared to drink tea.
"Yin Yin——"
Yinyin responded quickly when she heard Zhang Ren's call, but when she saw Zhou Yan standing next to Zhang Ren, her relaxed expression immediately changed. The teacup in her hand fell off her hand, and she stood up from the stool in a panic...
"Ah, Second Brother, when did you come back?"
"Meet Prince Jing!"
Hearing Zhang Ren's voice, Xin Xin and Lei Er also responded one after another. "No need to be polite!"
Zhou Yan spoke calmly, his eyes never leaving Yin Yin...
"What's wrong with you, Yinyin?"
Zhang Ren immediately became worried when he saw Yin Yin looked a little strange, and went to check...
After Zhang Ren said this, Xinxin and Lei'er also looked over.
If Qingyan hadn't seen it, Xinxin and the others would never have believed it. Yinyin, whose face had a little color just now, now looked pale, her eyes were strange, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she had seen something horrible?
"Sister Yin Yin?"
Xinxin walked towards Yinyin in disbelief, and followed Yinyin's gaze to Zhou Yan. Xinxin didn't understand why Yinyin reacted so violently when she saw Zhou Yan.
"Yin Yin——"
Zhou Yan didn't seem to be surprised by Yin Yin's reaction, instead he acted as if nothing had happened...
"no, do not want--"
With her trembling voice , fearful expression, and inner hatred, Yin Yin unconsciously developed an invisible fear and resistance towards Zhou Yan...
"Yin Yin?"
Zhang Ren and Xin Xin didn't understand why Yin Yin was so panicked. It couldn't be called panicked. Yin Yin's shrinking back with her head in her hands was a complete reaction of fear and terror towards the person in front of her...
"Yin Yin——"
Zhou stretched out his hand to move forward.
"Do not come near me--"
Yin Yin screamed, showing how scared she was.
"Sister Yinyin?"
"Don't come near me, don't come near me—"
Yin Yin repeated this over and over again, looking at Zhou Yan in front of her in fear, afraid that he would suddenly approach...
"Yin Yin——"
Seeing Yinyin's fear of him becoming stronger and stronger, Zhou Yan felt heartbroken by her fear and rejection of him, so he went forward regardless of Yinyin's reaction...
"ah--"
Yinyin stumbled back a few steps in fear and bumped into the tea table behind her. Because she tripped, Yinyin instinctively looked behind her in fear, fearing that something was approaching. This made her eyes stay on the knife she used to peel the fruit ...
"Yinyin, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Ren didn't know why Yin Yin reacted so strongly, so he could only worry about her and neglected her abnormal behavior...
"Sister Yin Yin?"
"Miss?"
"Yin Yin?"
The same voices echoed around Yin Yin's ears one by one. Their worried voices made Yin Yin even more confused and at a loss...
"you listen to me--"
"Ah, don't come near me, don't come near me--"
Every time Yin Yin heard Zhou Yan's voice, her reaction would only become more intense, and the word "fear" could no longer be used to describe her feelings.
"I--"
“No, no—”
In her deep fear and helplessness, Yin Yin's hand happened to touch the knife in the fruit plate, and she picked up the knife without thinking...
"Yin Yin——"
Yinyin's knife-wielding behavior made Zhang Ren very nervous, but Zhou Yan, who was behind Yinyin, didn't notice...
"I am here today——"
Before Zhou Yan could finish his words, a shocking scene appeared. Before anyone could react, Yin Yin turned around and stabbed Zhou Yan with a knife. Zhou Yan could not have imagined it and was completely dumbfounded...
The knife stabbed Zhou Yan in the abdomen, and by the time Yin Yin's hands were already stained with blood...
"What are you doing Yinyin——"
Zhang Ren hurriedly pulled Yin Yin away. Zhou Yan squatted down slowly in pain. The wound must be serious. Blood kept flowing from his fingertips as he covered the wound...
"Second brother——"
In this situation, Xinxin was of course worried about Zhou Yan who was stabbed. As for Yinyin, looking at her hands covered in blood and then at Zhou Yan who was kneeling in front of her, her mind was in a mess. It should be said that her entire brain was paralyzed. Is this the result she wanted?
The blood on her hands and the feeling of the knife stabbing into Zhou Yan's body made Yin Yin's expression dull. She could no longer hear or feel any sound or thing around her...
“Ahhh—”
Yin Yin couldn't accept what she saw and held her head and screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice was filled with sorrow, grief and sadness, which made people deeply feel how much pain the person who was screaming was in!
This sound seemed to shake the entire [Prime Minister's Mansion], and many people seemed to be affected by this shrill sound...
"Yin Yin——"
Seeing Yinyin so sad, Zhou Yan didn't care about his own injuries. Yinyin looked up at the sky. She could no longer feel anything around her. She only remembered...
(Shuer!)
(Just for my sake, you must live on—)
(I love you, Shuer——)
In Yinyin's mind, the most memorable past events were vaguely repeated. What can't be replaced is always irreplaceable. Yinyin's lips moved slightly: "I'm sorry——"
That extremely weak voice seemed to have not finished speaking before Yin Yin fell down. "Yin Yin——"
"Sister Yinyin——"
"Yin Yin——"
"Miss--"
The shouts from all around continued without interruption. Baihu was also shouting, but Yinyin seemed to no longer be able to hear or feel anything. She only felt a blankness in her brain and her own voice...
