Special Chapter: White Christmas (4)

'Why do you look like that?' 

'Do I look that pitiful to you?' 

'I don't need such sincerity coming from you!' 

Zeke gurgled, shakily touching his bloodied lips and felt a lingering petal stuck to it. He could feel his life flashed in his eyes, black dots started swarming in his vision and it was becoming harder and harder to breathe. 

His vision became blurry and all he could see was Jian Yu's frantic face. A smile tugged at his lips as his vision grew darker and darker.

Zeke gasped, sucking a very, very clean breath for the first time he woke up. 

"Hey, hey, you okay?" 

A hand shook his shoulder gently and Zeke sucked in a breath as he recognized the owner of the voice. It was hard not to when it came from the one you had been simping for.
