Eternal Love: A Love In Modern China (New Ver.)

Chapter Four

Life or Death (Dong Hua Dijun's POV)

After the crazy few days that both Feng Jiu and Dijun had, Dijun decided that he would accompany Feng Jiu to her drama recording, watching from the sidelines.

Feng Jiu, wearing her historical dress that they used to wear back home, made her look more authentic, but today, Dijun had a horrible feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Feng Jiu ran up to him and smiled widely. 

"How do I look?" she asks and Dijun smiles, tapping her gently on the forehead. 

"You look beautiful, as you always have" Dijun said and kissed her on the forehead. They never kissed, since their last time in the Mortal Realm back home.

Feng Jiu blushes red slightly, before smiling as she turned and walked back to her cast mate to discuss the scenes.

Soon after, they started shooting the scenes and Feng Jiu looked as beautiful as she did her dance on the wall, her male partner came walking from the road and smiled at her.

"Lin Qian, your dance is beautiful" he said as Feng Jiu smiles, leaning her arms down and he helped her off the wall, they smiled to each other. After their shooting, Feng Jiu disappeared when Xu'er ran up to Dijun.

"Do you know where Feng Jiu is?" Xu'er asks as Dijun looked at her. 

"No, I thought she was getting refreshments with the Director?" Dijun asked before he realised about his bad feeling. 

"Something is wrong with Jiu'er" he said.

As it got to night time and no sight of Feng Jiu,a  scream came from the public bathroom and a girl ran out. 

"There is a girl on the floor" she was screaming and Xu'er checked it out before pulling out an unconscious Feng Jiu.

Blood rushed to Dijun's head as he ran to her side. 

"Jiu'er" he said taking her into his arms from Xu'er and asked her to bring the car around.

Feng Jiu was still breathing still, but very faint, Dijun worried to hell for Feng Jiu's safety and he didn't want to lose her like he did back home.

After arriving at the hospital, Dijun waited patiently in the waiting area with Xu'er while the doctors and nurses examined Feng Jiu. Soon after three hours passed, a doctor came to them, she smiled sadly at them.

"She fell into a coma, but the substances that she took is life threatening, it seemed like someone wanted her dead" the doctor said and Dijun shook his head. 

"Can I see her?" he asked and the doctor nodded as she lead him to Feng Jiu's room.

As the door opened, Dijun saw Feng Jiu's lifeless body lying in the hospital bed, her eyes closed with a tube down her throat to help her breathe. Dijun sat in the chair beside her bed and took her hand in his, he held her hand to his lips, praying she would make it out alive and well.

Xu'er came into the room and stood beside his chair, resting a hand on his shoulder. 

"The doctor found this in her purse, seemed like someone really did want her dead" Xu'er said as Dijun took the note and read it.

It started with his name, then it began saying that they advised him to leave Feng Jiu, since they had not belonged together back in the Heavenly Realm, that they shouldn't pursue this forbidden love in this world.

She also drank a toxic drink that will end her life, they he knew this would be the end of the line for the both of them.

Dijun pursed his lips before scrunching it up and throwing it against the wall. 

"I won't leave her, I will not leave her side or live without her, if she dies, I will die to" Dijun angrily yelled.

As the days went by and Feng Jiu had not woken up, the doctors feared for her life as it was a life or death situation and they never knew if she would ever wake up.

As everyone was in the room to hear the news on Feng Jiu, Dijun was tired of hearing everyone talking. 

"Can you all just leave?" he yelled at everyone and they left, except for Xu'er who watched as Dijun sat Feng Jiu in a sitting position.

"What are you doing?" Xu'er asks as Dijun sat in front of Feng Jiu, before calling on his magic and transferred some of his cultivation to her. Xu'er watched with wide eyes as nine fox tails appeared from behind her.

Xu'er watched as the machines turned off and the monitors checking her heartbeat just showed her breathing on her own without the ventilators.

Dijun laid Feng Jiu back down as her eyes slowly opened, looking around the room before landing on Dijun as Xu'er  ran out of the room and got the doctors who were surprised that she woke up at all.

When the doctors discharged Feng Jiu a couple of days later when her condition stabilised, Dijun took her home, carrying her to her bed as she fell asleep on the way home and tucked her in.

He went downstairs to grab her a glass of water. Before grabbing the glass of water, he placed a unbreakable barrier around her house so he knew she was safe.

Going back upstairs, he set the glass by her bed and stayed there, sleeping on the other side of her bed in case she needed him. When morning came, Dijun opened his eyes to see Feng Jiu staring at him, a small smile on her face as she sat up slowly.

(Feng Jiu's POV)

I sat up slowly as he did the same making sure I was okay before I got the glass of water and drowned the rest and sat it back on the night stand.

"You okay?" he asked me and I nod. 

"I am fine, I feel so much better" I say as she sat beside me and held me in his arms.

"You got me so worried, what happened?" he asked.

"I was given a drink by a bystander, I didn't get to see their face, but the drink I was given was water so I thought it was fine to drink, but, how did I get home from the drama recording?" I asked.

"You passed out from the drink, turns out you were poisoned with a life threatening toxin and Xu'er will probably be here soon to see how you are" Dijun said.

"We can worry about her later, I will send her a text to say that we are having some time off for a few weeks until I am a hundred percent okay" I say.
