Spring Branches

Tang Asi kept his head down and walked slowly without saying a word.

She walked with great difficulty, and had to take several breaths after every step.

After only going down one floor, Tang Asi couldn't bear it anymore. He squatted in the corner and gasped for breath. His breathing became particularly rapid and his legs hurt badly.

She had never walked so much before.

After a while, I couldn't walk anymore.

The smell of smoke in the corridor became thicker and thicker. Outside, the sounds of police cars sirens, ambulances, and the shouting of the crowd could be heard one after another.

They were like thin needles, poking the most anxious part of Tang Asi's heart.

The boy looked a little exhausted, and his breathing became rapid.

The sirens outside were getting louder and louder, causing Tang Asi's head to hurt and he became more and more anxious.

"...Handsome guy, you should go first." Tang Asi said again.

After hearing this, the boy's face was as embarrassed as usual. This time he just glared at Tang Asi and didn't say anything extra.

He froze in place.

Tang Asi sighed softly again and continued, "Really, I can't let you down. I'm exhausted."

"Shut up." The boy said coldly, "I've already told you before, if you don't want to get involved with the bad luck of a dead person, you have to crawl out now, even if you have to."

"Why are you so..." Tang Asi looked at the boy. The boy suddenly raised his eyes to look at Tang Asi. His black and white eyes were filled with raging anger. Tang Asi was so scared that he lowered his head again, his tone trembling, "...so fierce..."

The boy put his arm around Tang Asi again and continued walking forward, "You must get out of here alive."

"……Oh."

Tang Asi responded weakly and walked forward with all his might.

The two of them didn't speak during the whole journey.

Besides the sound of police car sirens, what echoed in each other's ears was their rapid breathing and heartbeats.

By the time he reached the fifth floor, Tang Asi had no strength left.

He squatted down again, gasping for breath.

This time I didn't even have the energy to speak.

The boy looked really angry and a little distressed.

At this time, the radio in the corridor had already started shouting.

"If you haven't come out yet, please come out as soon as possible. Remember to go through the stairs. Everyone, please be careful and don't take the elevator. It's best to use a wet rag to cover your nose and mouth. Everyone..."

Tang Asi couldn't hear a word of the voices on the radio.

She felt like she was going to die.

I really can't hold on any longer.

She was extremely sad.

Tears streamed down.

The boy also weakly climbed down from the wall and slowly sat down on the ground.

His breathing was a little intense, and when he spoke, the tone of each word was particularly heavy: "Get up quickly."

The boy knocked on the door from the 23rd floor all the way to the 13th floor. He walked up the stairs all the way, so it was natural that he had no strength left.

Tang Asi smiled, a little ugly, and said, "Get up quickly."

"Whether I can survive or not is no longer important to the world, but it's different for you." The boy's gaze slowly turned to Tang Asi, with pink bubbles in his eyes.

"Why?" Tang Asi asked curiously.

The boy laughed bitterly, tears in his eyes: "You still have someone to say goodbye to, but I have nothing..."

"Ah?" Tang Asi was confused.

After a while, the boy lowered his head silently, and a slight sob sound was heard.

"..."

Tang Asi really wanted to comfort this cool boy, but he had no strength at all.

He raised his arm with all his strength, but it fell down again after only reaching halfway.

I couldn't utter a word.

It's hard to swallow saliva.

The boy was immersed in his own world for less than 2 minutes before he returned to his previous cold and ruthless state.

"..."

He acted too quickly, or rather, his sadness healed too quickly, so quickly that before Tang Asi could react, his sadness was over.

Tang Asi thought that he must be a young man with a lot of stories.

His current coldness and ruthlessness are probably forced out by reality.

Tang Asi pinched the root of his thigh tightly, and the pain slowly restored his nerves. He said, "I'm serious. If I fall here today, please help me contact Lu Yichuan and tell him that I'm in love with him."

She hadn't even expressed this belated love before she was about to leave this world... During the days he was with her, she felt like she was living her life all over again.

Although they are together because of a deal.

But in the process of getting along, they were slowly influenced by each other.

This is rare.

Anything else you want to say?

Among thousands of words, only this one sentence "I love you" can express it best and is the most effective answer to their marriage.

I love you Lu Yichuang, I love you much more than I love Lu Yisi.

I really want to stay with you, but I no longer have the strength.

What would you like to say in conclusion?

I still love you.

"Wake up." The boy said coldly, slapping Tang Asi on the face again and again.

The slap sounded loud, but it wasn't very hard.

Tang Asi seemed to be out of his mind at this moment.

The boy frowned even more tightly.

"Hey! If you dare to die, I will kill you!"

In a daze, Tang Asi fainted after hearing these words.

No longer conscious.

……

City A.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon here at Lu Yichuan's place.

On the way to a meeting again.

A leadership-level cadre was giving a passionate PPT presentation, and everyone in the audience was listening with great interest and nodding in agreement.

Only Lu Yichuan was absent-mindedly looking out the window, the birds on the branches chirping non-stop, which made Lu Yichuan upset and frowned.

The secretary standing at the door saw this and tiptoed over to close the window.

The sound is much quieter.

But this did not seem to relax Lu Yichuan's frown. Instead, his eyelids began to twitch. His heart also felt flustered.

What is going on here?

The one-hour meeting ended, but Lu Yichuang's feeling did not end.

After everyone in the conference room had left, Lu Yichuang took out his cell phone and called Ana.

The phone rang for a long time and no one picked up.

Lu Yichuang became even more panicked.

He wanted to call Tang Asi, but then he remembered that it was early morning over there, the time when she was sleeping soundly, so Lu Yichuan couldn't bear to interrupt her.

Lu Yichuan returned to the office and waited for about twenty minutes before Ana called back.

Lu Yichuan asked coldly: [What are you doing? Why don’t you answer the phone!]

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for two seconds, and then answered in a daze: [Didn’t you assign something to me? I’m handling it. You’re not allowed to look at your phone.]

Lu Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief.
