Chapter 984 — She Is Going to Die? Is This Real? Tang Zhi Suddenly Feels a Sense of Unreality
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
A classmate right there beside her — the two of them had been squabbling only days ago — and today her father had told her that she was going to die!
Tang Zhi had been angered by Feng Xiaoxiao's deception, and she disliked the way the girl kept wedging herself between her and Wei Zhao. Yet she had never once imagined that Feng Xiaoxiao was someone with one foot in the grave. The shock of the news was simply too great.
"Feng Xiaoxiao... she is going to die?" There was a tremor in Tang Zhi's voice. Annoyed as she was with Feng Xiaoxiao, she would never wish death on her! It was just as it had been when she first heard that something had happened to Gu Mengyao — rival though Gu Mengyao was, Tang Zhi had still sent Wei Zhao to help save her!
"Yes... this trip to Yanjing, I was in fact taking her there for a medical examination, and the results were very bad. The vitality in her body is fading away, bit by bit..." Feng Tianlong sighed. "And in Yanjing, she had an attack... the symptoms were the same as her mother's when her mother had an attack. But you brought her back! Wei Zhao, you can save Xiaoxiao, can't you?"
"That last time at the hotel, when Xiaoxiao suddenly fainted — was that an attack?" Wei Zhao remembered it: Feng Xiaoxiao had collapsed for no apparent reason, and that faint had nearly drained every last drop of energy from his body!
Yet Wei Zhao had found no sign of illness in Feng Xiaoxiao at all! To him, she was a perfectly normal person with no disease whatsoever. He had thought it strange at the time, but had not paid it much mind.
Now, though, hearing Feng Tianlong's account, Wei Zhao began to find it rather odd. How could a healthy person, with no injury at all, drain away every drop of energy in his body? It defied all reason!
And then it struck Wei Zhao — the question Feng Xiaoxiao had asked him today! She had asked him to look and see how long she could live. At the time he had taken it for a joke, had not taken it seriously, and had brushed her off with a careless word. But now it seemed that what she had truly wanted to ask was how long she had left to live!
"Yes. With Xiaoxiao's illness, she cannot eat too much cold-natured food — seafood, for instance," Feng Tianlong said. "Last time she ate too much seafood and it brought on an attack... and if nothing unexpected had happened, that time she would have... would never have woken up again! But you brought her back. That can only be called a miracle!"
Wei Zhao was stunned by Feng Tianlong's words. He had never imagined that last time at the hotel, Feng Xiaoxiao had come within a hair's breadth of death! If he had not gone back to the hotel with her, if she had been there alone — the consequences did not bear thinking about. He might never have seen her again!
"Does she herself know that she cannot eat cold-natured food?" Wei Zhao asked with a bitter smile.
"She knows. But Xiaoxiao, that child — sometimes when the impulse takes her, she acts without a thought for the consequences..." Feng Tianlong shook his head. "She knows she does not have long to live, so she does everything on whim, whatever comes into her head she does, afraid of dying with regrets..."
"Heh, I can see that..." Wei Zhao shrugged. And yet, seen now, that temperament of hers was rather endearing. "Still, she is not wrong to do so. If you can live a short life freely and gloriously, then there will be no regrets..."
Beside them, Tang Zhi was moved in spite of herself. She had never imagined that Feng Xiaoxiao hid it so deeply, keeping her sorrow locked in her heart while showing a bright, happy face every day, looking to all the world like sunshine itself — when in truth, she was the most miserable of them all!
"Wei Zhao, you can save Xiaoxiao, can't you?" Feng Tianlong raised his head to look at Wei Zhao, his eyes full of hope.
