"Ah," my legs went weak and my body lunged forward from the inertia, crashing heavily onto the ground. The intense pain was suffocating.

Su Yuqian's house was right in front of me, but I couldn't get up.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The anger and growing sense of impending death in my heart could only be vented in this way.

I forced my failing body to move, but I didn't have the strength to stand up.

It seems like I haven't eaten, and my body is already operating at overload. Am I done for? But I haven't even seen Su Yuqian's face yet.

I'm unwilling, but helpless. I wanted to crawl over, but the pain surged again. I grazed my arm and didn't have the strength to crawl anymore.

I don't want to die like this. I haven't had the chance to date the person I like. But... I'm already counting down to death.

What else can I do? I can't move, despair, agony, struggle, everything triggered in an instant.

"I don't want to die..." I said in a low voice.

"I haven't even seen Su Yuqian for the last time."

"Su Yuqian!!!" I unconsciously shouted.

It was a heart-wrenching cry. After shouting, all I could do was silently wait for death, although I hoped someone would find me and save me. Can anyone hear me shout once?

I wanted to shout more times, but I couldn't make a sound. My voice was already hoarse, probably because I forcibly used my vocal cords.

I never expected to end up in such a predicament. Who should I blame for all of this? I couldn't find an answer. I couldn't face death and could only shed tears of weakness.

"You idiot, why are you lying on the ground?"

"Huh?"

With tears in my eyes, I raised my head in astonishment.

"Just kidding," she lightly tapped my forehead. It hurt a bit, but wasn't the petite golden-haired twin-tailed beauty in front of me Su Yuqian?

She was still the same as before.

"Where have you been these past few days? You disappeared from school and didn't reply to my messages..."

"You were worried about me?"

"Worried?... I... I wasn't worried about you," her cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked away.

"Why are you lying like this on the ground right now? Are you apologizing with a face plant? Like a dog, how pathetic."

Su Yuqian's words were still merciless.

"I'm really sorry for meeting you like this, Princess."

"Why are you suddenly being so serious?"

My words surprised Su Yuqian.

"Some things happened, and I can't explain it all at once. Can you help me up?"

With Su Yuqian's support, I managed to stand up reluctantly. However, she was petite, and most of my weight was pressing down on her. I couldn't help feeling guilty.

"You... on your body," she smelled something and covered her nose suddenly.

"This..."

Unexpectedly, because Su Yuqian got distracted, both of us ended up falling to the ground. Without time to explain anything, I was already on top of her.

"Get off... you idiot," Su Yuqian blushed instantly, and I couldn't move.

"Didn't you hear me?" Su Yuqian became anxious.

"I want to... but..." I forced out a voice from my hoarse throat. Su Yuqian tried to push me off, but it didn't work well. I just looked at her face.

"Have you seen enough? Move your body to the side quickly, you idiot," Su Yuqian said with a blushing face.

"Oh..." I started shifting my weight, and then Su Yuqian successfully pushed me off her.

"Ouch..." She has quite the strength, considering she has trained in boxing. My chest was hurting.

"Are you... are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

"Hmph, anyway, you deserve it. And I... I can't believe you were on top of me... you..."Su Yuqian suddenly became very angry, as if she had suffered some kind of humiliation. She sat on my stomach and hammered my chest in a chaotic manner, saying, "Pervert, disgusting, and you smell really bad!"

I already knew that without her reminding me.

"I don't care about you anymore, I'm going home."

"I only have half a life left. Can you please save me first?"

"Huh?"

"I haven't had food or water for several days. It's a miracle that I'm still alive."

I surprisingly said in a calm manner.

"What... happened to you?"

"Well..." Seeing how weak I looked, Su Yuqian didn't press further and quickly helped me into her house.
