Inside the tent, the atmosphere was icy cold, as if it were the dead of winter, freezing everyone’s bodies until they went numb.
Gu Tong, with a heavy heart, glanced at Li Yan, only to feel that his expression was even darker than her face, which was sared with shoe polish...
She spoke weakly and tentatively, "Honey... are you still mad?"
"What do you think?" Li Yan’s eyes, filled with a killing aura, said it all. His voice was chilly as he said, "Do you know what this place is? This is a battlefield! Any mont of inattention, and you could sacrifice your life! And yet you dared to co here, do you have a death wish?"
Gu Tong bit her lower lip. How could she not know? It was precisely because she knew that she had to co...
She couldn’t stand idly by while knowing that Li Yan would get hurt, unless she was heartless and insensitive.
"Chuan Er and Tie San are weapons dealers! How many innocent lives have been hard by them, and you’re outmatched. What makes you think you can fight them? Have you thought about the consequence if your plan fails?"
If any part of the chain of events goes wrong, it would be fatal. Li Yan couldn’t even bear to think about the potential outco.
He had participated in countless battles, and almost every ti, he witnessed the cold bodies of comrades, forever separated from the living, and it only took a mont.
And now, the woman in front of him, the wife he just brought ho, was risking her life, doing sothing so dangerous.
His brain was about to stop thinking; he dared not contemplate the hypothetical outco because he knew he couldn’t bear it!
Li Yan had always been rational, but this ti he lost control completely, all because of his beloved woman, his wife he didn’t want to lose, absolutely not.
Gu Tong kept her head down and her eyelids lowered. Her small fists had unknowingly tightened, and her heart’s soft spot was pricked by Li Yan’s words, causing a stabbing pain...
Li Yan noticed her change, and his eyebrows imdiately knitted tightly. He clearly understood that the little woman’s emotions were rebelling!
After a long silence, Gu Tong finally raised her head. No longer docile and fearful, she decisively said, "You have your mission! You have the people you protect! But I only have you! What would I do if sothing happened to you!"
She returned the sa words intact to Li Yan. Wasn’t he also always in danger? Wasn’t he also surrounded by risk? He had his mission, and she had her faith!
He was her life!
The burning rage instantly extinguished. Li Yan looked at Gu Tong’s tear-filled yet resolutely firm eyes, swallowing back all the words he wanted to say.
"If I hadn’t co! What would have happened? You had no backup trainees, no support behind you, the bandits had bombs and plenty of weapons, did you hope to escape with your life relying solely on your own strength?"
A special trainee without backup, even Student King, was incomplete! They would inevitably face resistance, and trouble, and one person’s strength could never accomplish the mission.
Gu Tong was the strength supporting him, the tool helping him break through the encirclent. She was willing to be this sharp blade; as long as she could help him, she was willing, even if it ant sacrificing her own life!
"Besides, there’s Deputy Class Leader and other trainees! This ti was an accident, but not absolute!" Li Yan steadfastly denied, though it was just bravado!
"Are there few accidents on the battlefield? Anyone could have an accident, anyone could die in battle, not just you and , but also every trainee out there. Can you prevent such accidents from happening?"
Gu Tong argued against his words, and it was the first ti she spoke to Li Yan with such emotion!
