Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Ye Chen’s Anger
Xiang Yin’s face was pale, breathing weakly, with only half of his arms remaining.
"I, I might not make it." Xiang Yin forced a smile and said with difficulty.
"No, don’t say that! You’ll be fine!" Zhang Chang, who was always proud, cried at this moment; if not for her, Xiang Yin wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Zhang Chang quickly took out the healing medicine and poured it into Xiang Yin.
The medicine flowed down Xiang Yin’s throat but seeped out through the hole in his chest.
Ye Chen, who was holding the medicine, also paused, realizing that Xiang Yin couldn’t be saved.
Xiang Yin gazed deeply at Zhang Chang, saying softly, "Actually, since the first time I saw you in high school, I fell in love with you. Later, I studied hard, got into the same university as you. At that time, my family was poor, and I could only watch you secretly for four years. After graduating, when I heard you were going to pursue graduate studies, I also joined you.
Later on, I worked hard to enter the same company as you, and it was then that you learned my name. I always tried to mention our high school and university names casually just so you’d notice me, and it worked. We got closer, but when I expressed my love, you always pretended not to understand. I knew you didn’t like me then.
But I wasn’t afraid; I could wait, I could work hard. I worked tirelessly, bought a house, bought a car, all to give you a better life in the future. I was willing to work hard, to wait until you liked me, just like when I prepared for college and graduate studies. When I was ready to sincerely confess my feelings...
The world suddenly changed, and it got chaotic, but I wasn’t afraid, as long as you were there with me. I would continue to work hard to become someone who could protect you, but then, cough, cough!"
Xiang Yin coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Don’t say anymore, I know, I understand! I get your intentions, I do! Honestly, I have feelings for you too, but in these turbulent times, with everything unstable, I couldn’t accept your love. I do know, boohoo!" Zhang Chang cried as she spoke.
A hint of a smile finally appeared on Xiang Yin’s pale face: "Hehe, I thought it was because I wasn’t good enough that you didn’t like me. Now that I know you like me too, I can leave at peace."
"No! Don’t go! You’re amazing! Don’t leave!"
Zhang Chang tightly held Xiang Yin’s arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Don’t cry, you know I can’t bear to see you cry."
Zhang Chang nodded, choking on her tears, wiping them away, but they fell like broken pearls, unstoppable.
"Ye Chen." Xiang Yin softly called Ye Chen’s name.
Even for Ye Chen, tears welled up at this moment.
"I’m here."
Xiang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ye Chen, don’t blame me. I did it just to get a little ahead. My grandfather and father were both soldiers and wanted me to become a soldier too, to be their pride. But later, I didn’t follow their words and felt guilty. I just wanted to stand out, protect the country, and be their pride!
Now I’ve also died for the nation, my father should be proud of me. Please tell my father that his child, Zhang Qingshan, is also a hero, just like my great-grandfather, sacrificing for the people. I’m sure he will be proud of me too!"
At this point, a proud smile appeared on Xiang Yin’s lips.
"Yes, don’t worry, I will pass on the message to Uncle."
Ye Chen held tightly to Xiang Yin’s medal and said.
"Thank you. I’m really content now, truly. Hearing my beloved likes me back, fulfilling my father’s pride, these two are my biggest lifetime dreams. I didn’t expect to achieve them today; I am really lucky."
"Cough, cough!"
Another stream of blood spurted from Xiang Yin’s mouth.
"Don’t say anything more! Stop! Qingshan, please don’t speak anymore!"
Zhang Chang cradled Xiang Yin’s face, saying, choking with emotion, now Zhang Chang was in tears, crying her heart out.
Zhang Zheng, watching on the side, was also moved to tears.
"Cough, cough!"
Xiang Yin suddenly gasped and began to cough violently.
"Zhang Shu, I, I love you!"
After finishing, a gentle smile appeared on Xiang Yin’s face, and with a satisfied smile, he closed his eyes forever.
"Qingshan! Qingshan! Qingshan!" Zhang Chang shook Xiang Yin’s body, constantly calling his name. But Xiang Yin no longer responded.
In Zhang Chang’s mind, memories of Xiang Yin flashed by one after another.
The first time they met at the company, Xiang Yin shyly said: "Hello, my name is Zhang Qingshan!"
Back then, whenever he saw Xiang Yin, there was always a warm smile on Xiang Yin’s face.
Every time he called out to Qingshan, Xiang Yin would always respond sweetly.
Whenever he saw Xiang Yin’s smiling face, Zhang Chang always felt a warm glow, like sunlight.
But now, that smile, he would never see again.
Thinking of this, a sense of desolation welled up within him.
"Qingshan!"
Zhang Chang cried loudly to the sky, weeping sorrowfully.
Watching Zhang Chang’s heart-wrenching cries, Ye Chen also felt a heavy heart.
Zhang Zheng squatted down and quietly hugged Zhang Chang, offering some comfort to him.
She didn’t know there was such a story between Zhang Chang and Xiang Yin before.
The others also took in this scene completely, and their eyes too welled up with tears.
Ye Chen turned to look at the eight remaining monsters, instantly filled with burning rage!
"You all shall die!"
Ye Chen charged at a monster, tightly gripping the Thunder Shocking Blade.
Trig, seeing Ye Chen’s cold, murderous eyes, instinctively took a step back.
A sense of fear emerged on its own.
"I didn’t kill him! Why are you angry at me!"
Trig’s voice trembled as it spoke.
"You all deserve to die! Dark Princess! Blood Asura! Attack them for me!"
The two sensed Ye Chen’s anger, nodded, and charged at the remaining monsters.
"Great Destruction!"
Buzz!
The Thunder Shocking Blade slammed heavily into Trig.
"Thunder Move Three Thousand!"
"Celestial Fury Thunder Attraction!"
"Thunderous Fury!"
Ye Chen did not pause for a moment, attacking Trig move after move.
Trig had no power to fight back.
It could only keep defending, helplessly taking the blows.
Standing aside, Jia Mu said weakly: "Brother Ye Chen seems so angry, so furious."
Profound Maiden patted Jia Mu’s shoulder, smiling: "That’s exactly what makes your Brother Ye Chen so charming."
