Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1099: Tears

Chapter 1099: Tears

Nan Luo didn't know what he was supposed to do anymore. His hand was dirty with dirt, but he could only yell and dig the dirt in front of him to find Nan Hua. He couldn't accept losing his twin sister just like this.     

His body still felt the pain all over, but it was getting fainter and fainter.     

He knew that Nan Hua was in danger.     

But how in the world was he supposed to help her? He felt so frustrated and angry with himself because he couldn't do anything. If only it was possible, he wanted to be able to pull his twin sister right away.     

Just as he was in despair, he heard faint screech.     

*screech*     

Half a sword appeared a few steps away from where he was standing.     

Even though there was no one who could answer him, Nan Luo felt that this half sword was basically the same as telling him the answer. He quickly crouched down and dug the dirt with his own hand.     

He didn't dare to use the sword in fear of hurting her twin sister.     

So he could only use his hand.     

"OVER HERE!"     

"DIG OVER THERE!" Xiao Yan also yelled and the soldiers quickly rushed in. They were dirty with mud and dirt, but not a single one of them dared to relax. Their comrades were buried within the dirt and rocks.     

They had to dig them out as fast as possible.     

If they were late, they would never be able to see their friends ever again.     

*scrub* *scrub* *scrub*     

Digging frantically, Nan Luo could finally see Nan Hua's face. She was still wearing the mask, but it was cracked. It might have been hit by the rocks when it reached Nan Hua.     

Nan Hua blinked her eyes as she felt that breathing had become somewhat easier. She could see Nan Luo's face getting clearer towards her. Seeing him looked so worried, Nan Hua felt distressed.     

She wanted to raise her hand and patted him, telling him that she was fine.     

However, Nan Hua couldn't find the strength to do so.     

She was already lucky enough that there was no rock between her sword and the surface when she forcefully swung her sword just now. That had exhausted almost all of her strength that she had.     

Nan Hua showed a faint smile and opened her mouth.     

"I'm fine… Luo."     

Nan Luo was still digging frantically. Even though his twin sister's face has appeared in front of him, part of her body was still buried. Hearing his twin sister's words, his body trembled a bit.     

In the next moment, tears poured out of his eyes.     

"I'm not doing this kind of plan again next time! I don't want to lose you…." Nan Luo choked on his own tears and continued to dig frantically.         

He had almost lost his twin sister.     

The feelings of almost losing someone and achieved it again was so overwhelming that he didn't know how to express it except by crying.     

He had been praying.     

Praying so hard for fate to be merciful to him.     

Many years ago, he had lost his mother. And at the same time, he lost his cheerful twin sister who always accompanied him. She had changed so drastically and there was nothing Nan Luo could do in order to bring her to smile again.     

She might look relaxed around him.     

But he realized that she was no longer the same Nan Hua as she used to be.     

Nan Luo knew.     

He had lost the previous Nan Hua.     

But he didn't want to lose her completely. He kept on trying hard to make his twin sister smile and happy.     

He had lost her once.     

When he saw Nan Hua smiled at him, even if it was only once, it was a smile that genuinely came from Nan Hua's heart. At that time, Nan Luo also realized that he had started to see his twin sister from the past.     

She might be different.     

But she was no longer tightly protecting herself and stop everyone from entering her heart. Slowly but surely, she was opening up herself in front of her family members.     

And watching it brought Nan Luo joy.     

That was why he would never try to refute whatever Nan Hua wanted to do.     

If she wanted to go to west, he would try to pave the way for her. If she wanted to play around, he would accompany her for as long as she wanted to.     

Even if Nan Hua is more capable than him, Nan Luo would never let go of his desire to protect his twin sister.     

He didn't want to lose her again.     

Never ever again would he want to lose her.     

Once is already more than enough.     

Seeing his twin sister in front of him, Nan Luo only wished for Nan Hua to be safe and sound. He wanted her to be happy and to smile from the bottom of her heart.     

"Luo, it's not your fault."     

Nan Hua had become more conscious as she watched her twin brother cried in front of her. She could feel pain in her heart, a different kind of pain from her physical pain that she experienced after almost being crushed to death.     

She watched as her twin brother nodded his head vehemently, but she knew that he didn't take it to heart. She felt her body was so weak and hurt all over. However, it didn't stop her from forcing herself to move a bit.         

As her entire body was no longer buried, Nan Hua find the strength to raised her hand towards Nan Luo's face.     

His face was very closer to her.     

When her hand appeared in front of him, Nan Luo paused. He looked down and saw Nan Hua was giving him a smile. Half of her face was still covered, but he still could see her eyes were bright and clear.     

They were staring straight at him.     

Her index finger traced the line between his eyes towards his nose slowly.     

"Luo is good."
