Chapter 1887  : Annoying The moment the branch broke, Ji Fengmian’s heart skipped a beat as if he had fallen off a cliff.

At the same time, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

She could finally get rid of Chu Boyang and Ji Qing. She could finally heave a sigh of relief and no longer have to worry about them.

She was not in a good state because of the two of them.

Chu Boyang was finally satisfied.

Ji Qing, whom he had been longing for, was finally fine. Her heartlessness saved him the trouble of finding her an eyesore in the future.

But she wasn’t a fool.

He couldn’t risk his life for them.

At a time like this, she had to survive.

At least it wasn’t a straight cliff.

However, the height at which she fell from the tree was indeed not low. When she fell, her entire body landed heavily on it. At that time, she felt as though her internal organs had been shattered. The pain coming from her body was so intense that she could not tell where she was injured.

Then, she slid down the mountain. The mountain was filled with plants and thorns. Her mud-covered clothes were torn.

However, she still instinctively grabbed onto something that could stabilize her.

It was just that the speed was too fast in the beginning, and the fixed points that she had randomly grabbed were forced to slip because of this.

After a few times, the speed slowed down a little.

In the end, she grabbed a protruding rock to stabilize herself.

However, because of the rain, the rocks on the mountain wall shook. Before she could catch her breath, the rocks cracked and she slid down again.

The rain washed away the soil on the mountain wall and gathered into mud. Occasionally, stones and broken branches would hit her head from top to bottom. Her face was scratched by thorns, and her clothes were completely dirty. Her legs and arms were exposed, and there were wounds of all sizes.

At first, she still had some energy to struggle.

Although the coldness of the rain and the current situation did not make her feel much pain, she could no longer exert any strength.

Although she had slowed down a lot, she didn’t even have the strength to grab onto a fixed spot.

Ji Fengmian sighed helplessly. In the heavy rain, he suddenly gave a cold laugh.

How ironic.

He had actually risked his life to save the person he hated the most.

It sounded like a glorious deed worthy of praise.

But the main point was, when did she become such a saint?

Ji Fengmian mocked himself.

Forget it. If she really died like this, she would leave a good reputation.

The sky had completely darkened. Other than the occasional lightning and thunder, there was more darkness.

In the end, her body was suspended in the air and she fell straight down.

Once again, Ji Fengmian felt death approaching.

However, the moment she was suspended in the air, she fell to the ground again. Just like last time, her body felt like it was falling apart and her organs hurt again.

But this time, there was a metallic taste in her mouth.

A bolt of lightning flashed and Ji Fengmian saw that he had fallen to a flat ground.

She had probably fallen all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Her entire body was in pain. She rested for a while and moved her limbs.

In the end, she simply lay down on the spot.

With the help of the lightning, she scanned her surroundings. It hurt to have the rain on her face, but she couldn’t open her eyes.

Gritting her teeth, she raised her hand to cover her eyes and lay there in silence.

She wondered if she could still use her hands and feet in the future.

She had no strength and her entire body hurt. It was useless to struggle.

Uncle Chu would not give up on her.

Neither would the police cha.

She wanted to see him alive and dead.

It depended on whether he had the life to wait for them.

After some time, a light suddenly swept over and she heard a familiar voice.

“Feng Mian? Ji Fengmian?!”

She slowly removed her arm. “I’m here…”

Her voice was faint, but that person seemed to have heard it. Ji Fengmian heard someone getting closer and closer to her.

She knew that the light was shining on her.

She then said, “Xiao Yun…”

“It’s me!”

Ye Jingyun hurriedly responded and ran towards her.

Seeing Ji Fengmian’s current state, the young her was naturally shocked.

Trembling, he lifted her up.

“Oh my god, did you really fall from the top of the mountain?”

Ji Fengmian leaned against her weakly. “I flew down.”

Ye Jingyun wiped the dirt off her face. “You’re really lucky…”

“I didn’t expect you to be here.”

Ye Jingyun smoothed her hair and said, “Have you forgotten? This mountain is my territory. No one is more familiar with this mountain than me. If you fall from it, you can only fall here.”

Ji Fengmian pursed his lips. “It’s really the worst.”

“Don’t speak anymore. Save your strength. The police and Uncle Chu are all looking for you… Am I alright? There’s a hidden cave beside me. Why don’t I bring you there? The rain is too heavy.”

“I can’t leave…”

Ye Jingyun helped her sit down and stuffed the flashlight into her hand. Then, she turned around and knelt in front of her with her back facing her. “I’ll carry you over.”

Ji Fengmian looked at Ye Jingyun’s slender back. He didn’t know if it was because of the pain, grievance, or gratitude.

Two streams of hot liquid flowed down her face, which had been covered in cold rain the entire time.

“You can’t carry me…”

Ye Jingyun turned her head and grabbed her arm, placing it on her shoulder.

“I can carry half a bag of white flour up the mountain at the age of five. I make all the firewood at home. You’re so skinny, I might as well carry a load of firewood.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Ji Fengmian tightly and propped herself up with one hand.

The cave was not far from here and there were vines blocking the way. When she walked in, she realized that there was a lot of firewood in the cave.

Ye Jingyun placed her beside a pair of dry thatch.

Sitting beside her and looking at Ji Fengmian’s injuries, she felt a little scared.

He tried his best to avoid her wound and twisted the dirty mud on her body.

In the end, she simply said, “I think you should take off your clothes. You look warmer naked than in this outfit.”

Ji Fengmian lowered his head to look at himself. He was so dirty that he couldn’t bear to look at himself.

She frowned and shook her head, but Ye Jingyun hit her.

“I shouldn’t have asked you.” As she undressed Ji Fengmian, she said, “I don’t have any fire on me. You can hide in the straw for a while. I’ll go outside to look for them…”

Ji Fengmian was no different from a fish on a chopping board. He could only let Ye Jingyun strip her naked.

“Oh my god, your injuries… must be very painful, right?”

Ji Fengmian shook his head gently. “It doesn’t hurt.”

Ye Jingyun pouted and said, “Why are you so stubborn? It’s obvious what happened and you’re still not telling the truth… Don’t do this in the future. It’s easy for others to misunderstand you…”

“It really doesn’t hurt,” said Ji Fengmian. “I feel very cold now…”

Ye Jingyun thought for a while and nodded. “That’s true. I remember that I fell and hurt my knee when I went to collect firewood in winter. I didn’t think much of it back then, but after I went back and warmed up, I felt pain. It hurts a lot. I think it’s the same for you this time…”

Ji Fengmian nodded. His face was pale and even his lips were pale.

Her eyes were unfocused as she looked into the distance. No one knew what she was thinking.

Ye Jingyun stood up and placed a handful of straw on her.

“Stay here for a while. I’ll go out and take a look…”

“Don’t go out,” Ji Fengmian suddenly said.

“No, this cave is very hidden. If we don’t go out, it will be difficult for them to find us…”

Ji Fengmian retracted his gaze and looked at the withered straw on his body. His fingers moved slightly.

“It’s best not to let them find me.”

“Huh?” Ye Jingyun didn’t understand. “What are you thinking? You have to go to the hospital now…”

“After avoiding them, you can inform Uncle Chu to bring me down the mountain.”

Ye Jingyun fell silent for a while before sitting down slowly. “Why did you do that?”

“If I want to have some peace and quiet, it’s best if all of them think that I’m dead. If they’re happy, I’ll have peace and quiet.”

“Do you hate them that much?”

Ji Fengmian shook his head. “I don’t hate them, but it’s quite annoying to be entangled with them. I don’t have that much time to waste with them…”

She didn’t want to see Chu Boyang blaming himself after this incident.

Then there was another endless entanglement.

Enough was enough.

“I’m very sleepy now. Listen to me and tell Uncle Chu.”

Ye Jingyun nodded. She was used to listening to Ji Fengmian unconditionally.

Ji Fengmian closed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked,

“Do you have my bracelets with you?”

Ye Jingyun shook her head and said, “How can I bring such an expensive thing with me? It’s locked in the cabinet at home.”

After another moment of silence, Ji Fengmian said, “…Forget it.”

After that, she didn’t speak again.

—

Chu Boyang didn’t believe what the police officer said and chased after him. “What happened? Ji Fengmian hates Ji Qing so much, how could she…”

“If you say it’s impossible, then it’s impossible.” The police officer couldn’t be bothered with him. After all, he was just a child. It didn’t matter what he said.

Seeing him like this, Chu Boyang panicked even more. “What happened?”

“I don’t know. We’re investigating this matter anyway. Don’t you feel sorry for the young lady who knows what happened? Let her rest before letting us investigate? Let’s wait. It’s not too late to ask tomorrow morning.”
