Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Fortunately, You Are Still Alive
Xuan Ruiquan watched helplessly as that woman fell to the ground, slowly losing her life. He gritted his teeth and crawled toward her with his hands. As he was about to reach her and touch her hand, he heard the sound of an incoming missile.

At that moment, Xuan Ruiquan knew that they would not survive. He used his remaining strength to crawl towards the woman and cover her body with his own. Looking at her flawless skin slowly turning black, Xuan Ruiquan lowered his head and kissed her lips tenderly.

He protected her body while his blood dripped on her face and whispered softly, “Xin’er, I’m sorry. If I were stronger, you would still be alive. I love you…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the missile hit the building, destroying everything.

Boom!

“Gasp!”

In the silent cave, Xuan Ruiquan suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air. Duan Yixin, who was sitting next to him, quickly reached out to check his condition. When she found that his body had slowly recovered, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her eyes and saw him staring at the cave ceiling in a daze. Duan Yixin reached out to touch his forehead and asked worriedly, “How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort or pain?”

Hearing a hint of worry in her voice, Xuan Ruiquan came back to his senses. He blinked a few times and suddenly turned sideways. When he saw Duan Yixin staring at him, Xuan Ruiquan thought he was still dreaming. He reached out to her and gently rubbed her lips with his thumb, which he had kissed in the dream.

Duan Yixin was startled by his sudden touch and froze on the spot. Before she could speak, Lan Zhuoyu came back holding a rabbit.

“Miss Duan, I caught a rabbit. Do you want rabbit soup or roasted rabbit for your breakfast?” He asked as he walked into the small cave.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Lan Zhuoyu’s footsteps paused. He stared at Xuan Ruiquan’s flushed face and then at his thumb, which was rubbing Duan Yixin’s lower lip. For a long time, there was no sound or movement in the small cave.

Xuan Ruiquan’s attention was focused on Duan Yixin, and he did not notice that Lan Zhuoyu was looking at the two of them in shock. After a long silence, Lan Zhuoyu finally found his voice.

He opened his lips and asked dumbfoundedly, “What, what is going on here?”

Hearing his question, Duan Yixin finally came to her senses. She looked at Xuan Ruiquan, held his hand to stop him, and asked in embarrassment, “What are you doing?”

Xuan Ruiquan was still immersed in his emotions in his dream. He stared at her and whispered softly, “My Xin’er… Fortunately… Fortunately, you are still alive.”

Hearing his words, Duan Yixin’s heart beat faster. She took a deep breath and asked softly, “Jingxian?”

When Xuan Ruiquan heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses. Looking at Duan Yixin’s eyes full of expectation and love, his heart sank. He smiled self-deprecatingly and thought, ‘It is Yu Jingxian again.’

He took back his hand and looked around the small cave. When he saw Lan Zhuoyu standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at him in shock, Xuan Ruiquan realized that everything he had just experienced was a dream.

He rubbed his aching head and turned to look at Duan Yixin. Meeting her so early was not part of his plan. He had just wanted to make sure she was alright and secretly left. But he never expected that the way the two of them met in this life would be the same as in his previous life.

He sighed and lowered his head, ‘It seems that fate is really difficult to change.’

He looked down at his hands, remembering the cold feeling he had when he held the strange weapon in his dream and frowned again.

Xuan Ruiquan clenched his hand tightly and thought, ‘That dream… Why did Xin’er call me Captain Yu in the dream? Is it because of my obsession with the name Yu Jingxian that I have that dream? But, those strange weapons and black liquid─ what are they? I had never seen these things before. How could I dream about them?’

While he was thinking, Duan Yixin carefully observed his expression. When she called out Yu Jingxian’s name, the man in front of her stopped talking and fell into deep thought. His silence and behavior really left her confused.

‘Why did he suddenly become silent when I called him Jingxian? Could it be that he is not Jingxian, but someone from this world who happens to have an identical face as Jingxian?’

After a long silence, Duan Yixin asked hesitantly, “Do you… Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Hearing her question, Xuan Ruiquan came out of his thoughts. He raised his head, looked at her, and smiled, “I’m fine.”

After saying that, he thought for a moment and asked the obvious thing just so he could talk to her, “Young Lady, are you the one who saved me?”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin fell silent, her eyes showing disappointment. After a few seconds, she shook her head and said, “I just did what a physician should do. You still have a fever, so take a good rest. When Liushiliu comes back with my things, I will help you prepare the medicine.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded to her, but his eyes still stayed on her face. After a long silence, Lan Zhuoyu finally calmed down. He put the rabbit on the ground, sat around the campfire, and said, “I caught a rabbit just now.”

He then looked at Xuan Ruiquan and asked, “Can you eat roast rabbit?”

Xuan Ruiquan still had a high fever, and his throat still hurt. Even swallowing saliva felt like swallowing sand. He looked at the rabbit and shook his head. He felt hungry but had no appetite at the moment.

“I’m not hungry. You can eat.” He said hoarsely.
