Chapter 221
They've gone on a killing spree!
How many times has this happened?!
The third time!!
And it is very likely that...
This is the last time!
Because at this point, Chang Jiao'e had exhausted all her tricks and had no further options!
At this very moment, on this road leading to the cemetery...
That's her dead end!
"呲-"
The sound of emergency braking was piercing and drawn out in the night.
Xiongji, in the driver's seat, also turned his head, his expression one of fear and tension.
And Chang Jiao'e...
She felt like she was being driven crazy!
Those stiff, empty eyes seemed to have been awakened by the sound of emergency braking.
It took her a long time to finally accept the unacceptable truth.
His gaze regained focus.
She just looked at Jiang Yi like that.
In an instant, her eyes turned bloodshot!
She slammed her hand on the back of the passenger seat, her voice hoarse and strained:
"Why?!"
Why won't you let me go?
"Am I really so utterly wicked, Jiang Yi?!"
At this moment, Chang Jiao'e was truly out of control compared to when she was on the mountain of corpses.
Even because of the extreme horror just now.
Her mental state has deteriorated to the point of madness!
Her voice was choked with sobs, even bordering on hysteria!
The night wind tousled his hair, which, damp with sweat, clung haphazardly to his forehead and face.
Tears streamed down her face.
Only then did she finally lose the aloofness and pride that belonged to "Chang Jiao'e".
What remains are the most primal human emotions!
Emotional release.
However, this outburst of emotion did not affect Jiang Yi in the slightest.
He remained leaning lazily against the back of his chair.
Wait until she calms down a bit.
He slowly asked, "Why?"
"Let me think about it..."
Jiang Yi pretended to think for a moment before slowly saying:
"Faking death, feigning death..."
"We saw this plot together in a TV series, do you remember?"
Not long ago, Chang Jiao'e asked Jiang Yiji if he remembered that Christmas Eve.
Now it was Jiang Yi's turn to ask Chang Jiao'e.
Chang Jiao'e, whose emotions had calmed down slightly, was stunned for a moment.
At this time, she was mentally unstable, but her reactions were very obedient.
She actually obediently fell into memories.
She didn't watch many shows, but after a moment's thought, she vaguely remembered them.
The memory is not yet deeply ingrained.
Jiang Yi then continued, helping her recall:
"I remember it was a fantasy drama."
"In a dangerous moment, the male lead saved the second female lead but not the female lead."
"Then the female lead faked her death, leaving the male lead filled with regret."
Do you remember what you said to me back then?
Jiang Yi's voice was light and airy, almost hypnotic.
Yet, it undeniably brought back fragments of memories long buried deep within Chang Jiao'e's mind...
She is usually aloof and somewhat arrogant, like an unapproachable goddess.
But in reality, everyone in this world is just an ordinary "person".
She would occasionally show her girlish side in front of Jiang Yi.
That time...
She was angered by the plot of the drama.
She clung to Jiang Yi, pinched his cheek, and warned him fiercely:
"Jiang Yi, if you dare to do something that goes against your principles and betrays me..."
"Then all our feelings for each other are null and void!"
"I will never forgive you!"
At that time, Jiang Yi promised her that he wouldn't.
Chang Jiao'e was finally satisfied.
however……
At this moment.
Guided by Jiang Yi, Chang Jiao'e recalled the past.
His face suddenly turned deathly pale again.
She understood what Jiang Yi meant—
One should not be too hypocritical.
She herself made that request of Jiang Yi, and what she said...
She herself clearly failed to do so!
It was her who stole the recipe for the Longevity Elixir. She's sorry, Jiang Yi!
She herself said it...
Feelings don't count, I'll never forgive...
and so……
Jiang Yizhen did not forgive.
At that moment, Chang Jiao'e's tears fell even more fiercely.
pat pat pat.
At this moment, with death imminent, she cried with genuine emotion.
Sobbing, in despair, and... filled with regret.
Yes, I regret it.
Jiang Yi, I regret it.
She didn't say those words aloud.
Like the greatest sound is silent.
Some words...
What is said must be false.
The truth is what you can't say.
The words of genuine regret stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter them no matter what.
Even if I did say it, what would be the point?
Chang Jiao'e's eyes were blurry with tears, and Jiang Yi was just a blur in her vision.
Even though Jiang Yi was so blurry, she could still sense a clear indifference from him.
Chang Jiao'e had never cried before.
But Jiang Yi will respect all her emotions.
Rather than like now...
She cried so hard she felt like she was going to die.
He stood there, unmoved.
I regret it, I really regret it...
She stole the elixir recipe and gained the opportunity to grow.
but……
Jiang Yi has been lost forever.
Chang Jiao'e actually knew.
If it weren't for this moment of vulnerability and helplessness...
If she develops very well, she will live the glorious and wonderful life that only the strong have.
She probably really won't regret it.
but……
There are no "what ifs" in this world.
That's just how people are.
It's always when they are most vulnerable and helpless.
Only then will she remember the person who was the best to her.
But no one is unconditionally kind to others...
Chang Jiao'e cried, not loudly, but in a silent, heart-wrenching way.
She raised her hand to cover her eyes, wiping away tears one after another.
After a long pause, she finally managed to say, her voice choked with emotion, "I really want to..."
"I really want to go back to that Christmas Eve..."
"She threw herself into Jiang Yi's arms and burst into tears..."
"I could cry really loudly in his arms..."
Speaking of it.
Chang Jiao'e choked on her tears.
He coughed violently a few times.
Then, she suddenly laughed maniacally.
She remembered that in "Empresses in the Palace," Consort Hua smiled inexplicably before she died.
She only now realizes how good Jiang Xin's acting is.
It turns out that when people are in the deepest despair...
It really makes me laugh...
Hahaha……
Chang Jiao'e laughed again, tilting her head back with laughter.
But the tears wouldn't stop.
She then rubbed her eyes with her palm.
The fierce movements suggested that those eyes were no longer meant for them.
With her last blurry vision, she looked at Jiang Yi.
He smiled again.
When Emperor Yang of Sui died, he said—
"The emperor has his own way of dying."
"I, Chang Jiao'e, also have my own way of dying!"
As she spoke, she opened her right hand.
The palm of your hand contains an ice crystal the size of a grain of rice.
That's... the Ice Crystal Gu.
Once it's integrated into your bones and blood, your entire body will be frozen into an ice sculpture.
In that instant, the ice melted into Chang Jiao'e's palm.
Her right hand quickly froze into ice.
Then, she looked at Jiang Yi, remained silent for a moment, and slowly said:
“Jiang Yi…”
"I know I'm selfish..."
"Perhaps, my liking for you is also because of my selfishness..."
"But, aside from selfishness, it might not be as despicable as you made it out to be when you first killed me..."
As Nalan Xingde said, "If only life were as beautiful as our first meeting..."
"But time, it won't stay frozen at the first meeting forever..."
Even the most beautiful snow on Christmas Eve eventually melts away...
With her words coming out in fits and starts.
Her body was completely frozen.
The remaining exposed skin was as white as ice.
to the end.
Even before her entire body was frozen, her consciousness began to blur.
Consciousness began to fade.
Jiang Yi in her sight had become a blurry shadow.
With her last vestiges of consciousness, she spoke in a tone that suggested their relationship was still as good as it once was, breathing out cold air as she slowly and weakly said:
"If it snows again in Jiangcheng..."
"Will you bury me in the snow on Christmas Eve?"
This should be considered his last words.
However, her gradually unfocused gaze saw—
Jiang Yi's figure slowly shook his head.
He didn't even grant her last wish.
Actually...
Jiang Yi calmly looked at Chang Jiao'e, who was frozen into an ice sculpture.
It wasn't that he refused her final request.
It's not that I suspect she's up to some trickery again.
But he knew—
In Jiangcheng after the apocalypse, it has never snowed again.
