Chapter 874: Let Me Tell You a Secret

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was very cold in the mountains in the middle of the night.

If she fell asleep, her body temperature would drop. Given the precarious situation they were in, she might never wake up again.

“I’m so sleepy...”

Wen He fought to stay awake, but felt her consciousness slipping away.

Just when she was about to lose the fight, she felt a sudden pain in her palm!

The pain brought her back to the world and elicited a howl of pain.

“What’s wrong with you, why did you pinch me?!”

Gu Jinzhi replied flatly, “I felt like it.”

“...”

Wen He ignored him and felt sleepy again.

Abruptly, the man beside her spoke in a chilling voice, “Keep me company. If you fall asleep, I’ll pinch you again.”

Wen He was infuriated. “You’re such a heartless pig! Be careful that no one wants you for a husband!”

“What do you mean? I thought I had you.”

“Pfft!”

Did he really think she’d agree?

Over her dead body.

Gu Jinzhi’s harsh tactics kept her awake for another three hours.

As they continued prattling in the dark, the temperature dropped even further. Wen He felt cold and thought she might fall asleep again.

However, Gu Jinzhi always pinched her just in time.

After repeating the routine for a few more times, her palm started to swell.

Wen He grumbled miserably and felt at a loss.

“Gu Jinzhi, I think we may really die here.”

“No, we won’t.”

Gu Jinzhi replied in the darkness. “I won’t let you.”

“I don’t want to die, either. In fact... I really want to get back together with Huo Chen. There’s also Bai, I worry about him.”

Wen He carefully kept her feelings of hopelessness to herself and continued speaking calmly, “Nevertheless, death is inevitable. No one can escape their ultimate fate. It’s just that, I regret it terribly...”

She regretted not saying goodbye to Huo Chen properly before she met her end.

She regretted bringing Gu Jinzhi along with her for the trip.

“Don’t talk nonsense, and don’t fall asleep!”

He pinched her hard, but the repetitive gesture could no longer help Wen He conquer her overwhelming fatigue.

She felt her eyelids grow heavier as she muttered, “I’m sorry, Gu Jinzhi. If only I insist that you stay away, then you wouldn’t be dragged down with me...”

“Wen He!”

Suddenly, Gu Jinzi raised his voice.

“Hmm?”

“It is actually quite nice for me, if I could die by your side.”

His hoarse voice sounded a little off.

“But don’t you worry, I will not let you die here. Besides, think about it. If you die here, then Huo Chen will marry another woman and live happily ever after with her. Will you let that happen?”

“...”

Wen He felt a sudden urge and replied sharply, “No!”

“That’s right.”

Gu Jinzhi chuckled softly and felt his hand around hers tremble slightly.

Her fingers were icy cold to the touch, but they gripped with his hand with a strength that was comforting.

Wen He struggled to stay awake, but her body was already pushed to its limits.

Soon, she started to shiver uncontrollably. However, instead of coldness, she started to feel very warm.

“It’s so cozy... Mm... I’m going to sleep...”

“Wen He.”

Suddenly, Gu Jinzhi pinched her hand and whispered her name excitedly.

“Let me tell you a secret.”

“What?” For a moment, Wen He regained some of her energy.

“The truth is...” Gu Jinzhi hesitated and changed his mind about what he was going to share. “It’s almost dawn.”
