Murder the Dream Guy

“No, I’m not hurting anywhere.”

Fang Yuanyuan looked at the bruises on his face as her tears fell. She was sobbing.

“Are you frightened?” Huang He raised a hand with difficulty where he removed the weeds that were on her head.

“I’m not afraid, nor am I in pain. No, my heart’s in pain.” Fang Yuanyuan’s voice was hoarse, and she was breathless as she sobbed. She sounded especially gentle. “You just scared me to death… Why are you so bold?… Do you know how dangerous this is? Had they fired… you might die…”

“They don’t dare to.” Huang He had suffered a cut at his mouth. When he showed a grin, it actually looked comical. “I dared to gamble my life! But they dared not gamble with their leader’s life! They would not fire recklessly…”

“Boohoo… why are you laughing about it!” Fang Yuanyuan’s tears flowed down again.

Looking at Huang He’s miserable appearance, all of her grudges and grievances dissipated.

“Why did you save me? Why… didn’t you already had someone else? Why are you still willing to risk your life for me?”

She sniffed her nose and asked him in a grieved tone where she sounded pitiful beyond words.

Huang He wanted to comfort her but took a gasp instead as he was in pain all over.

As he rolled down the slope earlier, he protected Yuanyuan all he could and therefore took the brunt of the hit.

Now that she moved even a little, he felt as though his body was about to fall apart.

He remained still for a few seconds, and when the pain subsided, he smiled at her again.

“Why are you so unreasonable? I saved you but you’re still trying to force me to talk!”

“Don’t change the subject!” In actual fact, Fang Yuanyuan was also injured. Her injuries were definitely not as serious as Huang He who risked his life to save her. As she was currently overwhelmed by his act, she was oblivious to the pain.

She furrowed her eyebrows. “I wanted to know. I want you to tell me.”

Huang He puffed a sigh, his gaze seemed to be filled with complicated feelings as he looked at her without batting an eyelid.

“You know very well how I feel toward you… When you were talking about all those things in the past, you already knew, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t ask me to return you the mobile phone…”

Fang Yuanyuan broke into a smile. “You saw through me as well?”

Huang He: “Mm, your little tricks can’t escape my eyes.”

Fang Yuanyuan felt sour and sweet at the same time. She sniffed her nose harder to stop crying, but her gaze felt somewhat bitter and indignant.

“It’s not really a trick. I’ve actually thought of it before. Even if you don’t like me already, you won’t take my life personally as we’ve shared a bed before. With regard to this aspect, I trust that you wouldn’t… So, when you agreed to kill me, I know that you must be up to something…”

“Hur!” Huang He was amused by her. “You really trust me so much?”

“Of course! If you didn’t agree to kill me, maybe I might be disheartened and convinced that you really do not love me anymore…”

Even if he didn’t love her anymore, he would not hurt her.

That was the greatest understanding of Fang Yuanyuan toward Huang He—the man she had loved.

When Huang He saw her smile, he was also smiling from ear to ear. “And I thought my acting was great. Aye!”

“Well, your acting was indeed great! Didn’t all of them believe it?” Fang Yuanyuan scrunched up her nose as she looked at him. “But I know you too well. You’re the kind of man who looks very honest, but actually has a lot of bad tricks up your sleeve!”

“…”

Huang He found it amusing.

Each and every word that Fang Yuanyuan said could go right inside his heart—he could feel the warmth and closeness… Such a feeling was not just a lover but also like family… After being apart for so long, the two of them did not become strangers; they could still understand each other very well…

He felt an impulse.

He wanted to embrace her tightly and give her a kiss…

But right now, he could only look at her. He couldn’t move at all and did not dare to move, either.

“What are you doing?” Fang Yuanyuan felt his burning gaze and felt her face starting to become warm…

“… I can’t do anything.” Huang He showed a half-smile.

But his gaze on her seemed to tell her a different story for it was filled with affection and sentimental attachment.

Fang Yuanyuan: “…”

They looked at each other, their hearts pounding wildly.

She had been apart with him for so long, if not for this incident, where would she get such a chance to embrace him again?

Where would she get such a chance to look at him without a care—

After the ordeal, the two of them had a lot to say to each other.

Fang Yuanyuan was afraid of mentioning the sensitive topic.

Whereas Huang He felt a lot of stirring emotions in his heart.

“Yuanyuan.” He suddenly sighed.

“Mm?” Fang Yuanyuan looked at him and blinked.

He asked, “Have you ever thought about what if you made a wrong guess?”

A wrong guess? Fang Yuanyuan deliberated for a moment. “I did—”

She dragged her voice and looked at Huang He for a long time. “If I guessed wrongly, then I deserve to die—I got jilted, yet I still believe that you will save me. Then I deserve no sympathy! My death would serve as a reminder for my next life that I should not believe in men’s sweet words anymore.”

“…”

There were winds blowing past their ears.

The winds in the mountains were strong.

Yet at that moment, it seemed to become gentle.

Huang He felt his eyes starting to feel warm. Maybe it was his injuries as he started to feel his vision getting blurry. “Actually, what I’ve said are not sweet words. I’m serious—”

Serious.

Hmm. The him and her back then.

Who wasn’t serious?

Fang Yuanyuan believed him.

But as she mulled over that, the feelings of hurt and bitterness overtook her heart once again.

“What’s the use of coaxing me at this time? If you are serious about me, what about that Tian Danyue? You’re not serious about her?”

“Aye!” Huang He heaved a sigh. “Silly girl, you still haven’t figured it out?”

Fang Yuanyuan was just like her name, an adorable girl with a pair of round, dark eyes.

“Figured what out?”

Huang He had a complicated look. He took a puff of breath. “I’m an undercover!”

Urgh! He had vehemently denied that earlier.

Why did he suddenly admit it now?

Fang Yuanyuan was perplexed. “Really?”

“Yes.”

“Since you’ve kept it from me for so long, why did you tell me now?”

“It’s because I’ve exposed my identity.” Huang He’s gaze felt deep with some pain that Fang Yuanyuan could not understand. “Silly girl, just earlier, everyone now got to know that I’m really an undercover!”

… Is that so? She thought.

… And she thought it could be explained as he did that to protect a loved one.

Fang Yuanyuan looked at him quietly. She felt a little sad for him.

Being an undercover was not easy. He had suffered and survived alone for so long…

In the end, in order to save her, he had no choice but to expose his real identity…

Fang Yuanyuan’s eyebrows tangled in worry. “What’s going to happen to you?”

Huang He raised an eyebrow but did not answer.

She thought that he did not understand her question. “I mean, will the police mete out any punishment?”

“…” Huang He remained silent.

After a few seconds, he smiled again. “It’s not that serious! I didn’t manage to complete my mission, that’s all. It’s normal for everyone to be unable to complete a task. I’ll be fine.”

He had put it in such a light-hearted manner, but Fang Yuanyuan still had a lingering fear.

This was because she got reminded when Huang He got sent to the detention center for the first time.

“That was an accident. Don’t worry about me.” Huang He knew what she was thinking and comforted her with a smile before giving a frown and looking at the sky above him. “Do hold on and don’t move. Bai Muchuan will be here very soon… they’ll come and save us…”

Fang Yuanyuan craned her neck and looked around the surroundings.

“It’s still very high here… Will he be able to find us here?”

“Yes.” Huang He smiled at her. “Most certainly.”

His smile was too bright.

Fang Yuanyuan followed and smiled along.

But soon, she noticed that there was something not quite right.

Huang He’s face seemed too pale and very weak. His face was as though drained of color, and his forehead was filled with bead-sized perspiration. He looked as if he was trying to endure something that was really painful…

He was already a thin guy, his current sight was heartbreaking to watch.

Fang Yuanyuan felt her heart being clasped. “Huanghuang, are you in a lot of pain?”

“It’s okay…”

“Are you able to hold on?”

“Yes…” Huang He’s voice sounded a little weak. “Try not to move so you won’t fall down…”

“I won’t move, I won’t!” It was hard for Fang Yuanyuan to stop crying, now she burst into tears once again.

She observed Huang He carefully, then lifted her neck, and shouted out loud at the sky.

“Detective Bai!”

“We’re here!”

“Come save us quick!”

“…”

Bai Muchuan and Salimu used about an hour’s time to save them both.

It was really brave of Huang He.

That steep slope was filled with trees and prickly bushes. If the slope was any steeper, both of them could have lost their lives.

Moreover, the place that they were at… was a cliff…

They had brushed past death!

If Huang He did not grab onto the surrounding plants on several occasions to lessen the impact and speed while falling, the two of them would not be alive.

“It’s amazing that you two didn’t fall down and get smashed into pieces. Then both of you could have turned into a pair of butterfly lovers!”

Bai Muchuan teased them as he checked Huang He’s injuries before his face turned cold.

“You really make me see you in a different light this time!”

Huang He: “…”

Ever since Bai Muchuan rushed to the scene, Huang He had not said a word.

This was because he had guilt inside him and was not sure of Bai Muchuan’s attitude. Hence, he chose to remain silent.

Nevertheless, anyone who had heard Detective Bai’s words knew that his “see you in a different light” was definitely not derogatory.

Huang He took a deep breath and showed an apologetic look. “I… took things into my own hands.”

“Hmph!” Bai Muchuan looked stern, obviously, he was still angry. “You didn’t take things into your own hands, but you ruined all of our plans.”

“I know that…” Huang He’s body was stiff, but his attitude was earnest. “But I… really had no other choice.”

It was still those words. He had no other choice…

At that time, Bai Muchuan did not know what he meant by no other choice.

Now, he finally knew.

Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes as he swept a glance at Fang Yuanyuan standing beside a tree by the road, waiting anxiously for the ambulance.

“It’s not that you didn’t have a choice, I feel that you made a good choice!”

This was another “compliment” that had a chilly vibe in it that Huang He felt his scalp numb when he heard it.

“Boss, please don’t be too hard on me!”

“I’m not hard on you.” Bai Muchuan took a look at the mountainous view. “You gave up the plans because of love and infiltrated into the wolf’s den by yourself,” he sneered, “once again, because of love, you took the leap of faith by jumping down a dangerously steep slope which leads to a cliff… Even romance fiction authors did not dare to write such a plot!”
