Chapter 29: Su Chen's Wish
Thinking of this, Xue Wei actually stood up on her own initiative.
The occurrence of such an event actually filled Xue Wei with quite a bit of guilt.
After all, it was she who had captured Su Chen; if she hadn't captured him and brought him to the scene, he wouldn't have gone to exchange hostages, wouldn't have been shot in the heart, wouldn't have...
Let's consider it a slight compensation to him...
"Do I... look good?" For some reason, feeling scrutinized by Su Chen's gaze, Xue Wei actually felt a bit nervous.
"Good, you look good..." Su Chen did not expect Xue Wei to actually stand up on her own initiative.
"Then... which part of me do you think looks best?" Xue Wei asked in a voice so faint, it was as if only she could hear herself.
Which part looks best?
All of it is beautiful!
Watching Su Chen's eyes appreciating her, mixed with curiosity, Xue Wei felt a faint ache in her heart.
He is still so young, with such a long journey ahead in life.
If not for this accident, he probably would have met quite a few girls.
After all, Su Chen does have a bit of handsomeness, not exactly handsome, but he has a distinctive masculine charm.
Completely unlike the demeanor a 22-year-old young man should possess.
His sharp features, as if they were chiseled by a knife and axe.
Especially his pair of sword-like eyebrows, which appeared spirited and energetic.
The only flaw was that his gaze was too unfriendly.
"Su Chen, are there some things that you wanted to do but didn't have the chance to? I can help you..." Xue Wei could only hint at this subtly to Su Chen.
Meaning whatever you want to do, I'd better help you quickly, otherwise there will be no chance...
Can you help me?
Really?
Been single for decades, and still no girlfriend yet!
Alright, Su Chen is bluffing a bit too much.
Who was his first girlfriend?
The Queen of the Kingdom of Yelü Fei?
Princess Kansas?
Or the leader of a female assassin from an Organization in the United States?
Or...
He can't remember clearly anymore...
However, if Su Chen still couldn't read between the lines of what Xue Wei was implying at this point, that would mean his IQ had gone offline.
Definitely assuming he doesn't have much time left...
If it were anyone else, they probably really wouldn't survive much longer.
But who is he?
The Death God of the battlefield.
The Death God is not that easy to die.
Of course, Su Chen wasn't about to tell Xue Wei that he actually has the Undying Golden Body, immortal and indestructible.
He purposely made his expression somewhat somber and then asked, "How... how much time do I have left..."
"Three... five... days... maybe..." Relieved that Su Chen finally understood her hint, Xue Wei sighed.
If Su Chen still couldn't understand, she'd have no choice but to say it outright.
"Just three to five days left, huh..." Su Chen looked up at the ceiling with an expression full of dejection.
Xue Wei was surprised by Su Chen's reaction; this guy knew he only had a few days to live but could remain so calm.
Ordinary people probably would have collapsed by now...
It seems he really is no ordinary man.
Perhaps, he had long placed life and death aside.
But still, he is too young.
Even two years younger than herself...
The calmer Su Chen behaved, the more heartache Xue Wei felt.
"However, the doctor did say that if lucky... maybe you could live several years..." Xue Wei whispered softly.
Su Chen gave a faint smile, "Then I must be the lucky kind." The reference version of this chapter is on M*V*LEMPYR.
"Hmm..." Aside from concurring, Xue Wei didn't know what else to say.
Watching Xue Wei's sorrowful face, Su Chen was inwardly ecstatic.
But, miss, if you knew I couldn't die, would you beat me up?
"Alright, let's not talk about these sad things, Su Chen, is there really something special you want to do... I can help you..." Xue Wei steered the conversation back to last wishes.
Okay, since miss you insist on helping, I'll just talk about my wishes then.
Su Chen continued looking up at the ceiling, feigning a look of absent-mindedness, then said in a low voice: "I wish... to marry a wife, then take her to the most beautiful places in the world to travel. I wish to have a cute child who could call me dad... I wish to come home from work every day and have a woman say to me, 'Dear, you're home, come and eat...'"
"Wuu wuu... don't say anymore... stop talking..." Xue Wei was no longer able to hold back her tears.
Initially, Su Chen could have married a wife, take her to the most beautiful places to travel, he could have children, who would call him daddy, maybe even more than one.
There might also be a woman, who would hand him his slippers when he comes home from work, then gently say, "Dear, dinner's ready, come eat..."
But now, not a single one of these wishes could be fulfilled...
Deeply indulged in his own acting prowess, Su Chen suddenly froze, not expecting to have made miss sister cry by being too absorbed in his role.
Okay, if that mysterious Black Stone hadn't entered his body, he probably would indeed be dead by now.
"Ah, my only regret now is that, in this life, I have never been embraced by a girl. Can you tell me what it feels like to be hugged by a girl?" Since he had already entered into character, Su Chen decided to be a bit more genuine.
Of course, he was just teasing Xue Wei, but he didn't expect...
