The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 874
Chapter 874: I Will Definitely Catch You
The sun was shining brightly on the horizon, and the sound of the wind blowing from the sea was ringing in her ears.
Su Wan’s face froze slightly. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng who was already standing on the protruding rock and could not help but feel nervous.
She was really afraid of heights.
On the other hand, the Jiang Xuecheng looked indifferent and fearless, as if he was not standing on a cliff.
“Wan Wan, come down quickly! It’s really fine. Don’t you see that I’m fine too? I’ll definitely catch you when you come down!”
Su Wan restrained her expression. She felt uneasy, but she knew that Jiang Xuecheng was telling the truth.
In fact, as long as she climbed down along the crooked tree, she would only be about one meter away from the protruding stone slab.
However, Su Wan thought that if she was careless, or that Jiang Xuecheng failed to catch her, or that she made a mistake, she would fall directly into the sea!
Su Wan felt an uncontrollable fear in her heart.
She suddenly admired those people who liked to do extreme sports. There was nothing that they couldn’t do in rock climbing and bungee jumping. She reckoned that they wouldn’t have any fear in the face of such a situation, right?
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s pale face, his heart became increasingly anxious because this stone slab might not be able to hold on for long. Everything had to be decided as soon as possible.
“Wan Wan, believe me! I will definitely not let you miss!”
As Jiang Xuecheng said this, he opened his arms towards Su Wan. His face was sincere and gentle, making people want to trust him.
Su Wan took another breath and nodded at Jiang Xuecheng resolutely.
“Okay, I’ll come down…”
Then, Su Wan looked like a brave warrior ready to die and began to crouch along the strongest tree trunk. Su Wan hugged the bare branches tightly with both hands and climbed down to the branches.
As she climbed down, a sharp pain came from Su Wan’s palm.
It was probably a cut. She felt a faint pain, but she did not know if she was bleeding.
Wait, bleeding?!
Su Wan gasped. Her mind quivered, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Doctor Li had once told her that the CHK virus could be spread through blood!
Su Wan looked down and saw that her palm was really cut. There were tiny drops of blood oozing out.
Su Wan immediately felt that something was wrong and immediately stopped climbing the tree.
“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuecheng did not understand why Su Wan was like this. wasn’t she still climbing well earlier?
When she heard Jiang Xuecheng’s voice, a bitter smile appeared on Su Wan’s face. She waved her injured palm at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Jiang Xuecheng, I’m bleeding. Didn’t doctor Li say that the CHK Virus No.3 can be spread through blood? You must have scraped a wound on your hand when you went down the stone wall just now. It’s better that you don’t catch me.”
She didn’t want Xuecheng to be tortured by the CHK Virus No.3 like her.
In Su Wan’s eyes, Xuecheng would always be a powerhouse who looked down on the world with no dust under his eyes. She didn’t want this man to suffer the torture of the CHK Virus No.3 with her.
From many things, Su Wan had already experienced the impact of the CHK Virus No.3 on herself.
How could she watch Xuecheng be like this?!
Was she going to let Jiang Xuecheng do the same thing as her? His hands would lose strength from time to time, and he would feel tired and easily fall asleep. Even his organs would gradually fail!
…
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned when he heard that. He focused his eyes on Su Wan’s hand and looked carefully. Only then did he realize that there was blood oozing out from Su Wan’s fair palm.
Jiang Xuecheng’s face was instantly covered with a layer of haze.
If he did not reach out to catch Su Wan, and if Su Wan did not stop steadily, wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?!
Jiang Xuecheng gritted his teeth. While he was struggling, he immediately thought of a solution, so he said to Su Wan urgently.
“Wan Wan, you didn’t bleed much. Let’s tear off a piece of our clothes and wrap our palms around each other. I shouldn’t be infected.”
Su Wan thought for a moment about what Jiang Xuecheng had said. She lowered her head and looked at the traces of blood on her palms. Finally, she nodded.
Fortunately, her injuries were not serious and she was bleeding very little.
Su Wan climbed back to the center of the tree trunk where she used to sit. Then, she pulled hard and immediately tore off a corner of her cotton top.
Su Wan carefully twirled her palm twice to make sure that it was tightly wrapped and no more blood seeped out. Then, she let out a sigh of relief.
She lowered her head and saw that Jiang Xuecheng had also wrapped his hand in the same way she did.
After the preparation was done, Su Wan immediately climbed down the branch carefully.
On the branch closest to the rock, Su Wan knew that she was going to jump down, but she could not help but feel nervous.
“Xuecheng…”
She whispered Xuecheng’s name, as if calling this man would give her great courage.
Xuecheng understood Su Wan’s fear.
He raised his eyes and looked at her with extreme gentleness and composure, his voice firm and powerful.
“Wan Wan, don’t be afraid. We will definitely succeed in escaping. I will count to three seconds before you jump down, okay? I will definitely catch you!”
Su Wan nodded at Jiang Xuecheng. Her eyes were slightly red, and there was a slight sob in her voice.
“Okay…”
The sunlight on the horizon was still as bright as tassels. Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng hung on the cliff, their hearts filled with unspeakable anxiety.
And Jiang Xuecheng was at least more calm than Su Wan on the surface.
He knew that at this moment, if he revealed his fear, Su Wan would probably be even more flustered.
As a man, he had to protect the woman he loved at all times.
This was what Jiang Xuecheng believed in and had always been practicing.
“Wan Wan, are you ready? I’m going to count. One, two, three!”
When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s countdown, her heart was already filled with fear, but she knew that this was a hurdle that she had to face!
Su Wan gritted her teeth. Relying on her instinct to survive, Su Wan finally abandoned all distracting thoughts and leaped toward Jiang Xuecheng!
At that moment, it was only a few seconds, but to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, it was like an entire century!
The branch that Su Wan had grabbed with her hand earlier suddenly trembled. Following Su Wan’s violent movements, with a crack, it broke instantly!
The bare branch flew down from the sky and fell straight into the ocean!
Fortunately, Jiang Xuecheng opened his arms and hugged Su Wan in time!
Due to the sudden impact, both of their bodies swayed. Jiang Xuecheng used the momentum to drag Su Wan towards the inner side of the cliff. The two of them finally stood firm.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng leaned against the protruding rock on the cliff and simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief!
It felt so good to have escaped death!
They had survived another round!
But this was far from the end.
Su Wan stared at the dagger in Jiang Xuecheng’s trouser belt with a heavy expression…
