Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 737 - 738: A Shocking Dream in the Garden (End) Together in Life and Death
Xiao Han thought she was afraid that Sheng Yan would despise her background and explained, "No, I only told him that I found the person, and relayed the last few words you said to me. I told him that the bride felt you were ignoring the dangers to your life and was somewhat angry, so she decided to leave the Capital for the border only after seven days."
He Jinxia breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Xiao Han.
Seeing her tense, Xiao Han couldn’t help but say, "Don’t worry too much. Sheng Changbai is a righteous man. Since he has decided to marry you, he won’t care whether you are rich or poor, he will take responsibility for you."
He Jinxia kept nodding her head without saying much, only looking towards the distant Huai City, hoping to get on the road as soon as possible.
She knew what Xiao Han was thinking,—he thought she was afraid that Sheng Yan would look down on her as a woman from the Red Building. But actually, she wasn’t worried about that; the depth of their feelings, having time-traveled from the modern era to ancient times, didn’t need to be spoken to others.
He Jinxia was worried that Sheng Yan would be very angry if he knew about the many pains she had encountered in ancient times. Once he became angry, she would have to spend more effort to coax him.
This man could sometimes be as petty as a needle’s point, brooding over one thing for a long time.
She didn’t want to meet him already having this matter logged in his little notebook, only to have him waiting to "settle accounts" with her upon seeing her.
After resting a bit longer, Xiao Han saw that He Jinxia was eager to leave, continuously having her maids inquire about their departure. He thought it over and decided not to delay any longer, calling his brothers to hit the road again.
The group lined up to leave through the city gate, and at that time, another group was entering. The two groups crossed paths, He Jinxia’s side felt nothing special, but the newcomers felt a vague unease.
Gu Lanzi immediately ordered the carriage to stop, personally descended from his sedan, turned his head to glance at the city gate, and saw a wedding procession slowly moving away from the gate.
Following the wedding procession were a group of escorts, each carrying a sword, looking fierce and formidable, not to be trifled with.
Gu Lanzi, in a white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, stood by the city gate, his elegance refreshing and striking, drawing the city gate guards to take several looks at him.
After standing there for a long moment, he felt nothing unusual any longer, assuming it was just a fleeting whim and unimportant, he went back into his sedan to continue the journey.
After another two days of hurried travel, counting the days, they only needed five more days to reach the border. As the destination approached, He Jinxia became more anxious, eager to see Sheng Yan soon.
Surprises always come so unexpectedly.
Without waiting to reach the border, in the small town of Mian City by the border, He Jinxia and Sheng Yan’s group unexpectedly met.
Sheng Yan was entering the town with several brothers just as He Jinxia’s group was carrying the wedding sedan out of the town.
The two groups caught a glimpse of each other, but neither recognized the other, both groups were hustling along their way, worn and wind-beaten, their appearances long faded from their usual grace.
Still, one of Sheng Yan’s brothers suddenly remarked, "Oh, what a coincidence, there is a wedding sedan here—could it be that someone is getting married into the border area?"
Sheng Yan’s form stiffened suddenly, his heart pounding hard. As he turned his head towards the distant sedan, his body acted before he thought further, waving his whip to turn the horse around and chase after the sedan rapidly!
At the same time, He Jinxia felt something, urging anxiously, "Stop, hurry up and stop!"
Her heart beat faster and faster, as if something significant was already in front of her. Unable to contain herself, He Jinxia lifted the curtain of the sedan and stepped out.
She wasn’t wearing a wedding veil; a red silk handkerchief hung from below her eyes downward, covering her face. She also wasn’t dressed in her wedding garments but in ordinary clothes.
Due to continuous travel, to keep her clothes clean, she had changed out of her bridal outfit earlier and planned to change back near the border.
Lv Zhu anxiously said from the side, "Miss, why did you come out?"
He Jinxia ignored her, standing at the very front of the sedan, looking around as if searching for something.
Suddenly, the rapid sound of hooves came from behind. He Jinxia turned her head and her eyes brightened, unable to resist jumping toward the newcomer!
Sheng Yan held the horse still and stretched out his arms to catch the woman who leaped towards him, holding her tightly, and he whispered, "I have finally found you."
After crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, weathering countless storms, I have finally found you.
He Jinxia wanted to say something but instead choked out a sob. Tears blurred her sight, making the beautiful moment seem unreal.
She buried her head in Sheng Yan’s chest and mumbled, "Sheng Yan, this time I can fulfill my promise."
"Hmm?"
"I brought a fortune with me, enough to support you."
Sheng Yan couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to lightly stroke her nose through the silk handkerchief, "Naughty."
He Jinxia sniffled slightly, her voice choked as she asked, "Just tell me if you are willing to marry me."
Sheng Yan pressed his forehead against hers, his voice soft as a feather, touching the bottom of her heart with utmost tenderness.
"I am willing."
He Jinxia smiled broadly, suddenly reaching up to lift the silk handkerchief that obscured her face. She then clasped his head with both hands, her long sleeves hiding their faces from onlookers.
In that moment, under the witness of heaven and earth, they reencountered each other in ancient times, affirming each other’s intentions with a kiss on the lips.
Just as they kissed, suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, and the clear sky darkened.
Dark clouds covered the sun, and a strong wind kicked up, lifting countless dust and stones. Many birds flew out from the nearby mountains, and everyone in Mian City was shocked as they watched the sky.
He Jinxia and Sheng Yan looked up at the sky, not understanding what was happening.
The next moment, the ground shook.
Someone grasped the situation, panicking, and shouted, "The Mountain God is angry, the Mountain God is angry! The ground is collapsing, run for your lives!"
Others quickly ran out of the city, but just then, the ground shook even more violently, causing many to lose their balance and fall.
Sheng Yan held He Jinxia tightly around the waist, waving a whip, as his horse desperately galloped forward.
This was not the wrath of the Mountain God; it was an earthquake!
He Jinxia clung to Sheng Yan, watching as an inn in the city behind them crumbled into debris in a matter of seconds, the entire city slowly disintegrating.
Everyone was fleeing desperately— it was like a scene from the end of the mortal world.
Sheng Yan’s voice carried to her ear—
"Jinxia, are you afraid?"
He Jinxia shook her head firmly and said, "With you here, I am not afraid."
"Even in death?"
"Without you, what meaning is there to continue living in this place?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Sheng Yan smiled softly, holding her even tighter.
Another earthquake struck, and a dark abyss appeared on the road ahead. The horse, unable to avoid it, fell into it.
He Jinxia and Sheng Yan fell together, but they were not afraid, holding each other tightly.
The strong wind earlier had already blown away the silk handkerchief from He Jinxia’s face, revealing her delicate and beautiful features.
As they plummeted, Sheng Yan, with interest, asked, "Why did you wear a veil?"
He Jinxia answered truthfully, "My body was burned by fire, disfiguring me and for some reason, it heals unusually fast. Fearing people might find it strange, I wore the silk handkerchief."
In the moment of impending death, both were remarkably calm. He Jinxia even thought regretfully, "Alas, the fortune as dowry is left behind, unable to accompany us to hell."
With a loud "Bang!", the two lying on their sickbeds suddenly opened their eyes at the same moment!
