In the past, her fear was simply of death, of losing her own life. But now, it was different. She was more afraid of losing sothing more significant than life itself -- losing a man who was very, very good to her. It was as if the world was slowly and gradually collapsing before her eyes. The fear did not co suddenly, but rather, it was slowly consuming her body and mind.
Whimpering... whimpering...
She mustn’t cry, crying doesn’t solve problems.
Shaocheng, you’re holding this tightly because of your promise to , aren’t you?
A promise worth its weight in gold, isn’t it?
You can break your promise, I won’t bla you. I’d rather you let go of . I won’t ask you to do things like this for anymore. Please give so strength and courage. Can you let protect you?
I’ve just opened my heart to you. Just found a place where I can be happy. Just decided to completely forget all the unhappy past. Just decided to overco all obstacles to throw myself into your arms... How could you be in danger at a mont like this?
"Ah... Push harder... Chenxing, push harder... You’re not a three-year-old child, why can’t you climb out, you worthless thing who only knows how to rely on others... push harder... whimper... push harder..."
In the end, all she could do was yell at herself while trying to move her body.
She had to save herself! She had to save Shaocheng!
She had to save the man who was clutching her!

"Hurry!"
"Faster!"
"For God’s sake, speed up!"
Seated on a helicopter, Nan Baihao wished he could break through the door and get out. But the helicopter couldn’t find a landing spot, its crew, trained not to breathe a word, could not imdiately land the aircraft.
This place was a scarred mine. It used to be a quarry with mountains made of stones with little soil cover. When the quarry was closed down due to a lack of value, nearby farrs brought in soil to cover the mountains. From the helicopter, the cliff looked eerily high. Half of it was protruding rocks and the other half was covered with various bushes and trees.
"There it is, Young Mr. Nan, that’s the boss’s car."
At the bottom of the cliff was a farr’s rapeseed field. The rapeseed stems were half a person’s height, golden rapeseed flowers were densely packed. There was a wrecked car whose front was completely sunk into the ground, entirely flattened. The surrounding rapeseed stems were all knocked askew.
Nan Baihao inhaled sharply as he looked at the wrecked car, his breath stopping for a mont!
"Lower the damn plane, land it in that rapeseed field, quickly, any slower and I’ll kill you!" He shouted, his fists clenched.
Right hand still holding a gun, his knuckles making a crunching sound from being squeezed so hard.
Images automatically surfaced in his mind, his older brother horribly crushed in the driver’s seat.
When they were on top of the slope, they had only seen the car crashing through the guardrail and falling off the cliff. They hadn’t seen whether Gu Shaocheng and Chenxing had managed to jump out of the car as it crashed the guardrail.
So the only image he could imagine at the mont was of his brother and Chenxing trapped inside the car, their fate unknown.
...
The helicopter finally landed, next to the wrecked car, in the rapeseed field. The field was ruined, but no one cared.
