Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: Wooing My Wife Is a Life-or-Death Struggle (Part 2)

The ugly face, the sinister laughter, was like a claw from hell, dragging her into the icy darkness.

Her mind was filled with chaotic images, as if immersed in ice.

Just as she was feeling overwhelmed and about to collapse, she heard the knocking at the door.

It pulled her back from endless fear to reality.

"Knock knock..."

The knocking continued, Xia Shi groggily opened her eyes, and saw the drizzle outside the window; the window was left open.

Only then did she realize she had broken out in a cold sweat in winter.

She first closed the window, then went to open the door.

As she opened the door, she saw Zhai En standing outside with a bouquet of fiery red rose flowers, his face was deathly pale.

Seeing her open the door, Zhai En’s heart lifted, "Shi..."

Bang!

Xia Shi slammed the door shut and went back inside to continue sleeping.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Shi Shi, open the door."

"Shi Shi, listen to my explanation, things aren’t what you think, please open the door first..."

"Knock knock knock..."

Annoyed by the noise outside, Xia Shi pulled the quilt over her head.

Her mind was dizzy, and she unknowingly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already evening, and quiet outside the door.

He left...

Xia Shi couldn’t tell if she felt relieved or disappointed.

The room was dark; she forgot to turn on the heater when she came back, it was very cold.

The remote was on the table, she walked over, just as she was about to pick it up to turn on the heater, by chance she looked up and through the glass window, saw a man standing by the street lamp downstairs.

It was raining outside, the dim light from the street lamp cast on the man, somewhat blurred.

In such cold weather, he stood there alone hugging those fiery red roses.

The cold wind was bleak, he looked incredibly desolate.

Xia Shi gasped.

In such cold weather, and still raining heavily, he didn’t even bring an umbrella, is he crazy!

She checked the time, 8 PM.

He came around noon, now it’s evening, stood there for several hours, endured the wind and rain for several hours!

Last night he was severely injured by Xia Weibao, how could he withstand this!

Instinctively Xia Shi wanted to rush out, but held back.

She took out her phone, unblocked a certain number, and sent a text over.

She hid behind the curtains, secretly watching the man downstairs.

No reaction, Zhai En stood there motionless.

Unclear if his phone got wet and broke, or if he was already frozen stiff.

She watched from behind the curtain for five minutes, growing anxious.

His health wasn’t good to begin with, and after being beaten by Xia Weibao, now he’s in the rain.

The more she thought the more worried she became, her hands started shaking.

Finally, seeing Zhai En stumble and almost fall, Xia Shi couldn’t take it anymore, she opened the door and rushed out.

She ran so fast she forgot to even take an umbrella, directly charging into the curtain of rain.

Seeing her rush out, Zhai En’s translucent face showed a slight smile, his stiff limbs slowly moved.

He slowly extended the rose flowers to her, "I’m sorry..."

His voice was very light, carrying a hint of uncertainty, his body swayed, seemingly about to fall any moment.

"Are you crazy, in the rain and don’t know to find shelter!"

"You said, if I made you angry, to stand downstairs holding roses all night, you would forgive me..."

It seemed to take the last of his strength to say these words.

After speaking, he fell down with a thud.
