Inviting the Moon to the Farmhouse

Xia Lanyue sat on the ground, holding the injured Xia Yao in her arms.

Just now, Xia Lanyue recklessly rushed towards Dai You, and a servant, unable to stop his knife, stabbed directly at Xia Lanyue.

Xia Yao, who had been following Xia Lanyue, saw that she had no time to dodge and rushed forward without hesitation to push her away, but he was stabbed in the abdomen by a sharp knife.

At this moment, Xia Yao was bleeding profusely and collapsed in Xia Lanyue's arms.

Those present looked at each other in bewilderment, and the air suddenly became very quiet, with only Xia Lanyue's desperate cries audible.

"Xia Yao, no! Don't die! Doctor, please save me!" Xia Lanyue sobbed as she searched for the doctor in the crowd, but found that the doctor had not followed her out. She hurriedly shouted to Cui Hong, "Quickly, please get the doctor, quick!"

Upon hearing the sound, Cuihong turned and ran towards the carriage.

Xia Lanyue looked at Xia Yao helplessly, "What should we do? Xia Yao, hang in there, I've already gone to call the doctor."

Despite the pain on Xia Yao's face, he forced a smile. "It's okay, don't be afraid."

At this point, words could no longer comfort Xia Lanyue. She was trembling all over, looking at Xia Yao with tears streaming down her face, completely at a loss.

She deeply regretted her impulsiveness, which had cost Xia Yao his life.

But there's no going back in life, and she seemed to sense that she was about to lose Xia Yao.

If they could live their lives again, she would hold on to him tightly, no matter what.

Just as Xia Lanyue was crying her heart out, a servant took advantage of Dai You's inattention and swung a knife at him...

The two groups clashed again.

Xia Lanyue had no time to care about anyone else. She covered Xia Yao's wound with both hands, just to stop the bleeding from flowing too quickly and buy more time.

Xia Yao gradually became weak. He suddenly took Xia Lanyue's hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Don't forget how we got here. Maybe I'm just going home."

"Really? Don't lie to me, I'm scared," Xia Lanyue hugged Xia Yao even tighter.

Xia Yao forced a smile, "Really, don't be afraid. If I go back, I'll be waiting for you over there..."

His words seemed to comfort Xia Lanyue, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart. Suddenly, she felt that death was not so terrible.

Xia Yao's breath grew weaker and weaker. He struggled to lift his head and look at Xia Lanyue. "Ayue, promise me one thing... okay?"

Xia Lanyue could no longer speak, she could only nod vigorously.

"Don't be with Dai You anymore... please, I don't want... I don't want you to forget me," Xia Yao said with difficulty, then weakly lowered her hands.

Xia Lanyue grabbed Xia Yao's hand, placed it on her face, and sobbed, "Yes, I promise you, it won't happen. I'll wait for the day we can meet again."

Seeing that Xia Yao was about to stop breathing, Xia Lanyue was left with only helplessness and panic.

She looked up again to look for Cuihong and the doctor, only to find that the group of people who had been fighting had moved away into the distance, and there was no one beside her.

Xia Yao's blood slowly stained the soil beneath him and spread outwards, as if telling them that his time was running out.

His eyes were slightly open, waiting for that moment to arrive, his face unusually calm.

Xia Lanyue didn't know how to comfort him. She knew that no amount of comfort would help; she couldn't take away his feelings.

She anxiously searched for Cuihong and the doctor, but they were nowhere to be found.

But unbeknownst to her, a danger was quietly approaching...

A servant held a knife to Xia Lanyue's neck.

Xia Lanyue snapped out of her pain and tried to turn around to see who was coming, but was stopped by someone behind her, who said, "Don't move!"

"What are you going to do?" Xia Lanyue asked calmly.

"This is the Second Madam's idea; blame her if you must!"

Before Xia Lanyue could react, the knife in the hand of the servant behind her slashed across her neck.

In an instant, Xia Lanyue caught a glimpse of the splattered blood out of the corner of her eye.

She felt warm liquid flowing down her neck. She raised her hand to touch her neck, and her hand was covered in blood.

She knew that her life was about to end.

Blood splattered onto Xia Yao's robe, like a blooming flower, casting a vivid color on the plain clothes.

She didn't seem as scared as she had imagined, perhaps because Xia Yao's words gave her hope and encouragement. She even felt that it would be nice to be able to walk with him.

"Ah Yue, no..." Xia Yao reached out his trembling hand and placed it on Xia Lanyue's hand, seemingly wanting to press on Xia Lanyue's wound, but he no longer had the strength.

Xia Yao clutched his stomach and struggled to move his body, barely managing to lift his head.

Xia Lanyue covered her neck wound, looking at him with a smile. It was encouragement between two people at the end of their lives.

Xia Yao was heartbroken but powerless to help, and could only watch in agony as her face grew paler and paler.

"It's alright, Xia Yao, we can... go back together," Xia Lanyue said, her breathing rapid, as she slumped to her side.

She fell hard to the ground, and before she could brace herself with her arms, she already felt powerless.

Her mind gradually became scattered, and she began to feel afraid. She looked at Xia Yao and saw his helpless and bitter expression.

"Does it hurt?" Xia Yao reached out and grasped Xia Lanyue's hand. To be precise, he placed his hand on Xia Lanyue's hand, but he had no strength left.

Xia Lanyue saw Xia Yao's lips part slightly, but she couldn't hear his voice. Nevertheless, she responded, "No."

She felt her body growing colder, just like when she first arrived here and woke up on the shore. She felt her blood draining away, her consciousness gradually fading, the light before her eyes dimming, and she could no longer hear Xia Yao's voice or feel the warmth of his hands.

She panicked. She didn't want to sleep like this. She still had so much to say to Xia Yao, so many misunderstandings to explain. She didn't ask Xia Yao where she should look for him!

Xia Lanyue wanted to open her eyes and ask him, but she could no longer do so; she was immersed in darkness.

It all felt like a dream.

She hopes that the dream will eventually end...

"Beep beep beep," Xia Lanyue heard the familiar sound, but couldn't quite place it.

She slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her were several medicine bags hanging together and an IV tube connected to her.

Her gaze swept around, taking in people wearing hospital gowns and various tubes attached to their bodies.

She knew she was back!

"you're awake?"

A voice came from Xia Lanyue's ear.

She turned her head with difficulty and saw a nurse walking towards her.

She moved her lips, but no sound came out.

The nurse didn't seem to care. She walked over to check the monitor next to her and then left.

Xia Lanyue couldn't control herself and fell asleep again.

In a daze, she heard the nurses talking about her...

"The female patient named Xia Lanyue has woken up, but Kong Yao in bed six is ​​still asleep."

Kong Yao?! Xia Lanyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard that familiar name again. She was so excited she couldn't believe her ears. She hadn't expected to be so close to Kong Yao!

The nurse seemed to notice something amiss with the monitor. "The electrocardiogram for patient Xia Lanyue just looked abnormal. Let's go take a look."

The nurse stayed by Xia Lanyue's side, and after seeing no abnormal information, she felt relieved.

However, news that Xia Lanyue was unwilling to accept came from the nurse.

The nurse continued, "Kong Yao was unlucky to run into this woman who ran a red light. He not only hit her, but he also crashed into a telephone pole. I wonder if he'll become a vegetable."

At that moment, Xia Lanyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She suddenly understood what Xia Yao meant by "don't blame yourself." Regret, sadness, disbelief—countless emotions surged over her, suffocating her. She wanted to ask for clarification, but her body wouldn't wake up. Her overwhelming anxiety caused a sharp pain in her heart, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Beep beep beep," her monitor beeped again.

"Xia Lanyue? Xia Lanyue?"

Xia Lanyue felt the nurse gently patting her shoulder, trying to wake her up.

Xia Lanyue used all her strength to slowly open her eyes...
