914: If I Were You, I’d Go Home as Fast as I Could

If I Were You, I’d Go Home as Fast as I Could

Qiu Jin coughed up more blood.0

"I know."

She replied calmly and did not sound bitter about it.

"But I don't care. What matters is that… I love you."

He could not hide the truth from her.

Xiang Jinxi looked at her and sighed quietly. Then, an earnest smile blossomed on his face.

It was not particularly warm, but it felt very real, as though he had taken down all the barriers he formed around himself.

It felt like the beginning of springtime and Qiu Jin was momentarily caught off guard.

"Don't give up on your life," Xiang Jinxi offered out of the blue.

Then, before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her neck. Her vision started to grow black as she gradually fell unconscious.

"Xiang…"

Xiang Jinxi, don't…

She wanted to stop him, but soon blacked out.

Xiang Jinxi carefully placed her body flat on the ground. After that, he picked up her gun.

Huo Li was alarmed when he saw that.

Huo Yunting, on the other hand, watched him quietly. No one could figure out what was on his mind.

"Huo Yunting."

Xiang Jinxi cried almost cheerfully.

"All these years, I always wondered, had I left you alone, would you have stopped me from killing Huo Zhenning? On the other hand, had I gotten my revenge or relinquished the idea altogether, would I have been happier?

Huo Yunting mused on the questions for a long moment before he replied, "No."

There was no telling which of those questions he was answering.

Xiang Jinxi did not ask further. He looked at Huo Yunting in the eye and exhaled deeply.

"I guess I really do hate you, Huo Yunting."

Without him, Huo Zhenning would have died a thousand times over.

"..." Huo Yunting waited quietly for him to continue.

"What does it mean to win or lose? I have lost everything, but you are not faring very well either."

Xiang Jinxi said calmly, but he seemed to be hinting at something.

When he saw Huo Yunting frowning, he looked at the man for a long time before saying, "If I were you, I'll go home as fast as I can."

Who knew if Mo Shan would succeed?

He could use this opportunity to buy time and plot his escape.

However, fatigue abruptly overwhelmed him.

After a lifetime of being driven by revenge, he found his life to be a void.

No.

At the very least, there was this foolish woman with him till the very end.

At least his life was not completely meaningless.

Seeing as god had been kind to him, he decided to think of the advice as a gift for Huo Yunting.

It was up to the man whether he could make it in time.

"..."

Huo Yunting's eyes narrowed threateningly.

Before he could ask for clarification, Xiang Jinxi's face turned blank. He gripped onto his gun tightly and said coldly, "Huo Yunting, even if I have lost, I will not die by your hand!"

It was his final act of dignity and pride.

When he was finished, he pointed the gun at his temple.

Then, he fired.

Blood spilled with sorrow and finality.

"..."

Huo Yunting blinked and averted his eyes away from the pooling blood on the floor.

For a very brief moment, he looked almost conflicted.
