Chapter 409 Three Regrets
"I was wrong……
sorry……
I never expected things to turn out this way.
You have such a bright future ahead of you, are you really going to die like this?
What am I doing?!
I'm such a troublemaker!
Ye Xiangju held Dawei and murmured.
She has a bit of a spoiled princess attitude, but she's not a bad person.
Moreover, she genuinely likes Chen Dawei.
Because of her own willfulness, Ye Xiangju wanted to ruin Dawei's life, but she couldn't live with herself.
All the pride of the past has vanished, leaving only self-reproach.
Yes, at this moment, Ye Xiangju only felt self-blame, and had no time to feel fear.
This shows that she is still kind at heart.
And she is indeed a well-mannered woman.
David felt a little relieved that he hadn't died at the hands of a bad woman.
Looking back on his life, Dawei felt a little regretful, saying he hadn't really enjoyed much. He gently hugged her.
"Don't cry..."
You didn't do it on purpose.
I also made mistakes.
I should have spoken to you properly earlier, but I provoked you.
You are cultured and reasonable.
She's just a little willful.
If I speak nicely, maybe you'll listen.
We're in the same car; it belongs to my company, and I'm the host, so I have an obligation to take care of you.
It's my responsibility that I couldn't persuade you to get off the bus.
So, don't blame yourself.
As he spoke, he touched Ye Xiangju's hair.
Her chin-length short hair looked like it had just been washed in the morning; it was smooth and had a faint fragrance.
Ye Xiangju felt even worse after hearing this. At a time like this, she was still thinking about comforting others?
David is such a kind-hearted person.
"Idiot, can't you even yell at me a little?"
"Why would we curse at you? Would cursing at you make us leave this place?"
"I just want you to scold me, or even hit me a few times!" Ye Xiangju hugged Dawei tightly, sniffling and crying.
Dawei smiled weakly, thinking that since he was leaving anyway, he couldn't just leave crying, so he joked, "Look at you, you've given yourself away again."
And you said you don't watch those kinds of things.
They hit you and cursed at you.
If you hadn't seen it, how would you have developed those quirks?
"Just learning all sorts of random things... oh dear!"
Dawei winced in pain as someone pinched his thigh hard.
Ye Xiangju was amused.
"Who do you think you are? At a time like this, you still have the mind to joke around. How annoying."
"You laughed? That's good." David chuckled. "We came here crying, so let's not leave crying, that would be too tragic—although most people are like that, I don't want to be."
Ye Xiangju wiped away her tears, lost in thought. She shifted her body and touched Dawei's arm in the darkness, feeling a warm, damp sensation: "You, you're injured?"
"You have a minor scratch, it's nothing serious."
"Let me bandage you up. Where's my phone? Let me turn on a light..."
"It's nothing, no need to bandage it."
Ye Xiangju then remembered something and fumbled around, saying, "Wait, where's my phone?"
Dawei also thought of this, and quickly searched around the car until he found a cell phone, which he handed to Ye Xiangju.
The Motorola flip phone was opened, and a little light appeared inside the car.
Ye Xiangju's forehead was covered in fine sweat. The car was off, the air conditioning wasn't working, and the temperature was slowly rising.
She didn't seem to care about any of this; on the contrary, she was quite excited. She pressed a few dial keys on her phone and made a call.
result……
There's no signal at all.
David also found his phone and tried it, but it had no signal either.
It seems the landslide outside is quite severe, burying people very deep.
The cell phone signal was completely blocked.
"It's over..." Ye Xiangju threw her phone aside in despair.
"When the second brother comes back in a while, he'll see the mountain road has collapsed and he can't contact me, so he'll definitely call for help," Dawei comforted her, and also comforted himself.
Ye Xiangju shook her head weakly: "Don't say these things to comfort me."
The landslide just now was very serious.
The mountain road has collapsed in much greater extent than just a little bit.
The vehicles and rescue equipment couldn't get up there.
It's still raining outside, and I don't know if there have been any other landslides.
By the time they come up, we'll probably be suffocating.
Moreover, even if they arrive, how long will it take us to dig through all that mud and sand above?
Can we hold out until that moment?
David fell silent. Yes, it was extremely unlikely...
He had offended many people in the county.
At this point, someone might deliberately obstruct the rescue, and it would require mobilizing large equipment such as excavators, which is not so easy.
"I never imagined that I, Chen Dawei, would end up like this..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiangju, who had calmed down somewhat, burst into tears again: "I don't know when the oxygen will run out. This feeling of waiting is terrifying."
David shone his phone light out the car window.
There happened to be a big tree on the bus, and one end of the tree trunk was resting on another big tree.
I was standing on the riverbed, and I could hear that the river had stopped flowing, but there were quite a few stones and other things on the riverbed.
Therefore, there is some extra space above and below the car.
For the time being, there is still enough oxygen.
"Looks like we're not going to die anytime soon. We've landed in a pretty good spot; there's some space."
Ye Xiangju didn't understand either, but after hearing Dawei say that, she began to believe him: "Really?"
"Yes!" David's eyes were firm.
Ye Xiangju sat on the floor of the car. The car was tilted slightly, and the sofa was not comfortable to sit on.
David turned on his phone light, reclined the driver's seat, and lay down.
A moment of silence fell over the car.
"Dawei, if you leave like this, will you regret it?" she suddenly asked.
David was silent for a long time before saying, "I think so..."
"Can you tell me your regrets?"
David clasped his hands together, staring blankly at the car ceiling; he had never really thought about this question before.
"Life or death is uncertain, and I have no need to make grand pronouncements to you."
Three regrets.
Unable to fulfill filial duties to their biological parents;
Unable to repay his godfather's kindness in recognizing his talent;
They failed to give the people of Yuanshan County an explanation.
Ye Xiangju seemed dissatisfied with this answer; it was still about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness, still the outward appearance of Chen Dawei, still the Confucian way.
In Ye Chu’s view, he was clearly a person who was outwardly Confucian but inwardly Legalist.
It's expected that they should have a selfish side.
Now that he's saying this, isn't it consistent with Ding Tingting's analysis? There are two Chen Daweis; he's talking about the young Chen Dawei now.
"Aren't there any personal regrets?"
For example, which woman?
For example, not having children?
For example, what places haven't you been to, or what experiences haven't you had?
What you're saying are all regrets about other people.
As a human being, don't you have your own desires and pursuits?
