âNo, Iâm not hurting anywhere.â
Fang Yuanyuan looked at the bruises on his face as her tears fell. She was sobbing.
âAre you frightened?â Huang He raised a hand with difficulty where he removed the weeds that were on her head.
âIâm not afraid, nor am I in pain. No, my heartâs in pain.â Fang Yuanyuanâs voice was hoarse, and she was breathless as she sobbed. She sounded especially gentle. âYou just scared me to death⌠Why are you so bold?⌠Do you know how dangerous this is? Had they fired⌠you might dieâŚâ
âThey donât dare to.â Huang He had suffered a cut at his mouth. When he showed a grin, it actually looked comical. âI dared to gamble my life! But they dared not gamble with their leaderâs life! They would not fire recklesslyâŚâ
âBoohoo⌠why are you laughing about it!â Fang Yuanyuanâs tears flowed down again.
Looking at Huang Heâs miserable appearance, all of her grudges and grievances dissipated.
âWhy did you save me? Why⌠didnât you already had someone else? Why are you still willing to risk your life for me?â
She sniffed her nose and asked him in a grieved tone where she sounded pitiful beyond words.
Huang He wanted to comfort her but took a gasp instead as he was in pain all over.
As he rolled down the slope earlier, he protected Yuanyuan all he could and therefore took the brunt of the hit.
Now that she moved even a little, he felt as though his body was about to fall apart.
He remained still for a few seconds, and when the pain subsided, he smiled at her again.
âWhy are you so unreasonable? I saved you but youâre still trying to force me to talk!â
âDonât change the subject!â In actual fact, Fang Yuanyuan was also injured. Her injuries were definitely not as serious as Huang He who risked his life to save her. As she was currently overwhelmed by his act, she was oblivious to the pain.
She furrowed her eyebrows. âI wanted to know. I want you to tell me.â
Huang He puffed a sigh, his gaze seemed to be filled with complicated feelings as he looked at her without batting an eyelid.
âYou know very well how I feel toward you⌠When you were talking about all those things in the past, you already knew, right? Otherwise, you wouldnât ask me to return you the mobile phoneâŚâ
Fang Yuanyuan broke into a smile. âYou saw through me as well?â
Huang He: âMm, your little tricks canât escape my eyes.â
Fang Yuanyuan felt sour and sweet at the same time. She sniffed her nose harder to stop crying, but her gaze felt somewhat bitter and indignant.
âItâs not really a trick. Iâve actually thought of it before. Even if you donât like me already, you wonât take my life personally as weâve shared a bed before. With regard to this aspect, I trust that you wouldnât⌠So, when you agreed to kill me, I know that you must be up to somethingâŚâ
âHur!â Huang He was amused by her. âYou really trust me so much?â
âOf course! If you didnât agree to kill me, maybe I might be disheartened and convinced that you really do not love me anymoreâŚâ
Even if he didnât love her anymore, he would not hurt her.
That was the greatest understanding of Fang Yuanyuan toward Huang Heâthe man she had loved.
When Huang He saw her smile, he was also smiling from ear to ear. âAnd I thought my acting was great. Aye!â
âWell, your acting was indeed great! Didnât all of them believe it?â Fang Yuanyuan scrunched up her nose as she looked at him. âBut I know you too well. Youâre the kind of man who looks very honest, but actually has a lot of bad tricks up your sleeve!â
Huang He found it amusing.
Each and every word that Fang Yuanyuan said could go right inside his heartâhe could feel the warmth and closeness⌠Such a feeling was not just a lover but also like family⌠After being apart for so long, the two of them did not become strangers; they could still understand each other very wellâŚ
He wanted to embrace her tightly and give her a kissâŚ
But right now, he could only look at her. He couldnât move at all and did not dare to move, either.
âWhat are you doing?â Fang Yuanyuan felt his burning gaze and felt her face starting to become warmâŚ
â⌠I canât do anything.â Huang He showed a half-smile.
But his gaze on her seemed to tell her a different story for it was filled with affection and sentimental attachment.
They looked at each other, their hearts pounding wildly.
She had been apart with him for so long, if not for this incident, where would she get such a chance to embrace him again?
Where would she get such a chance to look at him without a careâ
After the ordeal, the two of them had a lot to say to each other.
Fang Yuanyuan was afraid of mentioning the sensitive topic.
Whereas Huang He felt a lot of stirring emotions in his heart.
âYuanyuan.â He suddenly sighed.
âMm?â Fang Yuanyuan looked at him and blinked.
He asked, âHave you ever thought about what if you made a wrong guess?â
A wrong guess? Fang Yuanyuan deliberated for a moment. âI didââ
She dragged her voice and looked at Huang He for a long time. âIf I guessed wrongly, then I deserve to dieâI got jilted, yet I still believe that you will save me. Then I deserve no sympathy! My death would serve as a reminder for my next life that I should not believe in menâs sweet words anymore.â
There were winds blowing past their ears.
The winds in the mountains were strong.
Yet at that moment, it seemed to become gentle.
Huang He felt his eyes starting to feel warm. Maybe it was his injuries as he started to feel his vision getting blurry. âActually, what Iâve said are not sweet words. Iâm seriousââ
Hmm. The him and her back then.
Fang Yuanyuan believed him.
But as she mulled over that, the feelings of hurt and bitterness overtook her heart once again.
âWhatâs the use of coaxing me at this time? If you are serious about me, what about that Tian Danyue? Youâre not serious about her?â
âAye!â Huang He heaved a sigh. âSilly girl, you still havenât figured it out?â
Fang Yuanyuan was just like her name, an adorable girl with a pair of round, dark eyes.
Huang He had a complicated look. He took a puff of breath. âIâm an undercover!â
Urgh! He had vehemently denied that earlier.
Why did he suddenly admit it now?
Fang Yuanyuan was perplexed. âReally?â
âSince youâve kept it from me for so long, why did you tell me now?â
âItâs because Iâve exposed my identity.â Huang Heâs gaze felt deep with some pain that Fang Yuanyuan could not understand. âSilly girl, just earlier, everyone now got to know that Iâm really an undercover!â
⌠Is that so? She thought.
⌠And she thought it could be explained as he did that to protect a loved one.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at him quietly. She felt a little sad for him.
Being an undercover was not easy. He had suffered and survived alone for so longâŚ
In the end, in order to save her, he had no choice but to expose his real identityâŚ
Fang Yuanyuanâs eyebrows tangled in worry. âWhatâs going to happen to you?â
Huang He raised an eyebrow but did not answer.
She thought that he did not understand her question. âI mean, will the police mete out any punishment?â
ââŚâ Huang He remained silent.
After a few seconds, he smiled again. âItâs not that serious! I didnât manage to complete my mission, thatâs all. Itâs normal for everyone to be unable to complete a task. Iâll be fine.â
He had put it in such a light-hearted manner, but Fang Yuanyuan still had a lingering fear.
This was because she got reminded when Huang He got sent to the detention center for the first time.
âThat was an accident. Donât worry about me.â Huang He knew what she was thinking and comforted her with a smile before giving a frown and looking at the sky above him. âDo hold on and donât move. Bai Muchuan will be here very soon⌠theyâll come and save usâŚâ
Fang Yuanyuan craned her neck and looked around the surroundings.
âItâs still very high here⌠Will he be able to find us here?â
âYes.â Huang He smiled at her. âMost certainly.â
His smile was too bright.
Fang Yuanyuan followed and smiled along.
But soon, she noticed that there was something not quite right.
Huang Heâs face seemed too pale and very weak. His face was as though drained of color, and his forehead was filled with bead-sized perspiration. He looked as if he was trying to endure something that was really painfulâŚ
He was already a thin guy, his current sight was heartbreaking to watch.
Fang Yuanyuan felt her heart being clasped. âHuanghuang, are you in a lot of pain?â
âAre you able to hold on?â
âYesâŚâ Huang Heâs voice sounded a little weak. âTry not to move so you wonât fall downâŚâ
âI wonât move, I wonât!â It was hard for Fang Yuanyuan to stop crying, now she burst into tears once again.
She observed Huang He carefully, then lifted her neck, and shouted out loud at the sky.
âCome save us quick!â
Bai Muchuan and Salimu used about an hourâs time to save them both.
It was really brave of Huang He.
That steep slope was filled with trees and prickly bushes. If the slope was any steeper, both of them could have lost their lives.
Moreover, the place that they were at⌠was a cliffâŚ
They had brushed past death!
If Huang He did not grab onto the surrounding plants on several occasions to lessen the impact and speed while falling, the two of them would not be alive.
âItâs amazing that you two didnât fall down and get smashed into pieces. Then both of you could have turned into a pair of butterfly lovers!â
Bai Muchuan teased them as he checked Huang Heâs injuries before his face turned cold.
âYou really make me see you in a different light this time!â
Ever since Bai Muchuan rushed to the scene, Huang He had not said a word.
This was because he had guilt inside him and was not sure of Bai Muchuanâs attitude. Hence, he chose to remain silent.
Nevertheless, anyone who had heard Detective Baiâs words knew that his âsee you in a different lightâ was definitely not derogatory.
Huang He took a deep breath and showed an apologetic look. âI⌠took things into my own hands.â
âHmph!â Bai Muchuan looked stern, obviously, he was still angry. âYou didnât take things into your own hands, but you ruined all of our plans.â
âI know thatâŚâ Huang Heâs body was stiff, but his attitude was earnest. âBut I⌠really had no other choice.â
It was still those words. He had no other choiceâŚ
At that time, Bai Muchuan did not know what he meant by no other choice.
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes as he swept a glance at Fang Yuanyuan standing beside a tree by the road, waiting anxiously for the ambulance.
âItâs not that you didnât have a choice, I feel that you made a good choice!â
This was another âcomplimentâ that had a chilly vibe in it that Huang He felt his scalp numb when he heard it.
âBoss, please donât be too hard on me!â
âIâm not hard on you.â Bai Muchuan took a look at the mountainous view. âYou gave up the plans because of love and infiltrated into the wolfâs den by yourself,â he sneered, âonce again, because of love, you took the leap of faith by jumping down a dangerously steep slope which leads to a cliff⌠Even romance fiction authors did not dare to write such a plot!â
