Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 108 Life and Death 1 Line

The aftermath of the battle had not yet subsided, and the warehouse was in shambles. Just when Ye Wan thought everything had calmed down, Xie Linchuan suddenly stumbled back, clutching his abdomen, his figure swaying slightly. Ye Wan immediately noticed that his face was pale and a deep pain flashed in his eyes.

"Xie Linchuan!" She rushed over, held his shoulders, and felt his body trembling and his strength gradually weakening.

He was breathing heavily, his lips trembling slightly, and he forced a comforting smile: "Ye Wan... I'm fine..." Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground weakly, blood oozing from between his fingers, staining his clothes crimson.

Ye Wan's heart sank, and fear surged over her like a tide. She looked down at Xie Linchuan, realizing clearly that he was more seriously injured than she had imagined. She felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but at this moment, she couldn't retreat, nor could she give up.

She quickly tore the cloth at hand into strips and pressed it against his bleeding wound, trying to stop the bleeding. However, Xie Linchuan's eyes gradually became blurred and his breathing became weaker and weaker. Her heart was filled with panic. She kept shaking his shoulders and calling softly: "Xie Linchuan! Can you hear me? You can't give up, do you hear me?"

His eyelids lifted heavily, his eyes still filled with pain and struggle, but more so with exhaustion. Ye Wan saw his fingers weakly lift, as if wanting to respond to her, but ultimately unable to hold on. Her heart tightened, her eyes slightly red, and she choked out a sob, "You are not allowed to give up. I will not let you leave."

She gritted her teeth, held his hand tightly, and used all her strength to drag him to a hidden place in the corner. As she moved, she kept whispering encouragement to him: "Hold on a little longer, we're almost there..."

Finally, she placed him in a corner, knelt beside him, and with her slightly trembling hands, she rechecked his wounds and bandaged them again. Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her fingers trembled slightly from fatigue and tension, but she remained calm and did her best to stabilize his injuries.

"Xie Linchuan," she said softly, with a deep determination in her tone, "No matter what you've been through, this time, I won't let you face it alone. I will be with you until the end."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, and the hands that held him still tightly held on. Xie Linchuan opened his eyes slightly, his tired gaze lingering on her face for a moment. His breathing was shallow, and his expression was filled with confusion and surprise, as if he couldn't believe that the woman before him would go to such lengths for him.

Ye Wan looked at him with determination in her eyes and said slowly, "You can't give up. You still have too many unfinished things in this world. If you're not here, how can I go on?"

Her words seemed to pierce the softest part of Xie Linchuan's heart, and a trace of unconcealable emotion gradually appeared in his eyes. Although he was almost unable to support himself, Ye Wan's persistence and tenderness made his heart tremble slightly, as if at that moment, he had regained the desire to live.

Xie Linchuan whispered, his voice weak but with a hint of tenderness: "Ye Wan... why don't you leave me? I'm just... a person who could die at any time. You don't need to waste your time here."

Ye Wan didn't let go. Instead, she stared at him more firmly and replied softly, "I don't care. In this life, there are always some people who are worth protecting at all costs. Even if you never truly trusted me, I still won't leave."

Her words deeply touched Xie Linchuan's heart, completely crumbling his thick defenses. He had never felt such unconditional care and determination. Her eyes held no hesitation, only a deep determination. In that moment, he suddenly realized that the woman before him had perhaps, without him realizing it, become the most important person in his life.

His eyes softened slightly, and his voice carried an unprecedented gentleness: "Ye Wan...thank you."

She smiled slightly, with determination and warmth in her eyes: "Don't say thank you, the most important reward is to survive."

She continued to stay by his side, gently patting his cheek to prevent him from fainting. Her eyes were always fixed on his face, with an undeniable determination in her eyes, as if she wanted to use her willpower to pull him back from the brink of death.

As time passed, Xie Linchuan's breathing gradually calmed down, and Ye Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still held his hand tightly, not letting up at all. She knew that this man was tough on the outside, but inside he had unhealed wounds, and at this moment, her presence might be his last support.

As the night deepened, the only sounds in the warehouse were their breathing and the beating of their hearts. Xie Linchuan looked at Ye Wan, exhausted yet determined, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart. He knew that this care was more than just simple companionship; it was her wholehearted protection of him.

Ye Wan gently adjusted his posture, trying to make him feel more comfortable. Her eyes held a gentle light, as if silently encouraging him. Xie Linchuan's fingers moved slightly, and finally, he gently grasped her hand. With an imperceptible tenderness in his eyes, he whispered, "Ye Wan... maybe... I really can't leave you."

Ye Wan was slightly startled when she heard his whisper, then she smiled warmly and nodded gently: "Then stay and live well."

At that moment, the coldness in Xie Linchuan's heart melted away. He knew that no matter how difficult the future might be, he would no longer be alone. Ye Wan's determination and gentleness gave him a rare sense of belonging. He was no longer a wandering soul, but had a harbor he could rely on.

As the night deepened and the world quieted, Xie Linchuan's fatigue gradually faded, replaced by a long-lost peace. He looked at Ye Wan, and a soft emotion surged in his heart, as if at this moment, he had found a trace of warmth and light in his life.

Ye Wan patted his hand gently and said softly, "You must take good care of your injuries. There are still many things waiting for us to face together."

Xie Linchuan nodded slightly, a gentle light in his eyes. He gazed deeply at her, finally letting go of his hidden emotions. At that moment, he knew she had become an indispensable part of his life. They protected each other, sharing life and death, and found a unique reliance and trust in this dark world.
