Chapter 194: Torturing the Imperial General to Cry (End)
His mind was full of the desire to have a good talk with Jiang Yan, and it seemed as if there were thousands of words in his throat that he wanted to tell the other party.
He desperately wanted to tell Jiang Yan in person that he already knew all the truth. He had completely misunderstood Jiang Yan before and it was all his fault.
He longed to sincerely ask Jiang Yan for forgiveness, hoping to gain Jiang Yan's understanding.
He also wanted to discuss with Jiang Yan a precious opportunity to pursue Jiang Yan.
However, the cruel reality was like an insurmountable chasm before him, leaving him with nothing but hopeless fear.
Because at this moment, any slight movement is likely to cause Jiang Yan unbearable pain.
Although he knew that Jiang Yan's life would not last long, Lu Qinian was unwilling to inflict even the slightest harm on Jiang Yan.
At this moment, Jiang Yan struggled to raise his hand, which seemed to have lost its strength.
He slowly extended his hand towards the side of Lu Qinian's cheek, as if he wanted to say something.
However, his frail body had already exhausted his remaining strength, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue could not be uttered.
...Goodbye.
Jiang Yan muttered silently in his heart.
His hand, which originally still had some warmth, suddenly fell down helplessly like a kite with a broken string.
Until his death, he was never able to see Lu Qinian clearly again.
Lu Qinian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, as if time had frozen at this moment. He stood there in a daze for a long time without moving.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yan, who was already lifeless in his arms. His body was as stiff as a sculpture, and even his breathing became unusually heavy.
It was unknown how long it took, until the tears in his eyes began to fall uncontrollably, and the hot tears splashed on Jiang Yan's cold face, Lu Qinian finally realized what had happened as if he had just woken up from a dream.
However, the grief brought about by this belated realization was like a surging tide that instantly submerged him and made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He was finally able to hug Jiang Yan tightly without any scruples, but that person had left this world forever and could no longer feel his warmth and love.
He could no longer hold Jiang Yan.
Lu Qinian hugged the body in his arms with all his strength, as if this could retain the last bit of Jiang Yan's warmth.
Crystal clear tears kept rolling down his cheeks, like pearls with broken strings, one drop after another falling heavily into Jiang Yan's neck.
This was the first time in his life that he cried so sadly, but at this moment, there was no gentle hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Lu Qinian trembled and carefully held Jiang Yan's hand, which had gradually become cold.
He seemed to want to grasp the last bit of warmth and pressed it tightly against his cheek.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not feel any warmth from that hand.
Lu Qinian's tears rolled down uncontrollably and dripped onto the lifeless back of Jiang Yan's hand.
He murmured to himself, "I was wrong... Jiang Yan. If I could do it again, I would never let you get hurt again."
He gently stroked Jiang Yan's palm, recalling every moment they had spent together. Those beautiful times flashed before his eyes like a movie, but now they could only become a past that could never be touched.
"I love you...Jiang Yan."
Lu Qinian closed his eyes in pain, allowing sadness and regret to overwhelm him.
He just held Jiang Yan's hand quietly, unwilling to let go for a long time, as if by doing so, he could make the departed soul come back to him again.
But the cruel reality told him mercilessly that it was too late and he would never have the chance to make up for the mistakes he had made.
Jiang Yan will never come back.
