In the dimly lit confessional.

Seeing that the priest behind the curtain did not respond for a long time, Shu Lingyue said again, "Father, I have sinned, I have come to repent."

The priest behind the curtain finally responded, saying in a low voice, "We are all sinners, but as long as we sincerely repent, God will forgive us."

"Speak, child, what do you want to repent for?"

Shu Lingyue felt that the priest's voice behind the curtain seemed somewhat familiar, and it also seemed that he was speaking in a low voice, but she didn't pay much attention to it, just assuming that the priest was pretending to be deep.

She paused for two seconds, then slowly said, "I've fallen in love with someone I shouldn't have!"

The priest behind the curtain: "Oh?"

Shu Lingyue said, "I know he doesn't love me, and I know that this love is not allowed by the world and may even be scorned by relatives and friends, but I can't control my feelings. I have fallen deeply in love with him and am hopelessly addicted to him."

"Father, I am guilty. Someone like me will probably go to hell, right?"

This time, the priest behind the curtain was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "Child, loving someone is not a sin, but since you know that the person you love does not love you back, and that this feeling is not permitted by the world, then you should give up this obsession."

"Once you get out of this dark period, you may meet true love. When you look back on this persistence, you may find yourself so ridiculous."

"So, child, give up!"

Shu Lingyue answered almost without hesitation: "Father, I've tried, but I can't. My heart is like a bottle, completely filled with him. I only love him, and there's no room left for anyone else..."

The priest behind the curtain seemed somewhat moved upon hearing this, and slowly said, "But you know this relationship shouldn't be, yet you're still so persistent. It will bring you torment and cause trouble for those around you."

Shu Lingyue said, "This is the root of my guilt, and also the reason why I want to repent."

The priest behind the curtain: "So you should learn to give up!"

Shu Lingyue said, "Perhaps! Or perhaps the ending of this relationship is left to God's arrangement."

The priest behind the curtain paused, then asked, "Why do you say that?"

Shu Lingyue said softly, "Because the man I love is a warrior. Tomorrow he will step into the battlefield and fight the enemy."

“I believe he can defeat the enemy; his chances of winning are almost 100%, just as there is almost 100% chance he won’t fall in love with me.”

The priest behind the curtain said, "What does this have to do with what you said about leaving your feelings to God?"

Shu Lingyue said, "If he easily defeats his enemies tomorrow night, just as I prayed to God, he will go back and marry his fiancée. I will take this as God's arrangement, put away these feelings from now on, and never bother him again, living out the rest of my life quietly and alone."

The priest behind the curtain said, "You just said he's almost certain to defeat the enemy. What if he loses?"

Shu Lingyue said, "He can't possibly lose!"

"If he loses, I will see it as another arrangement by God for the two of us."

"Because if he loses, it means death. So I will not hesitate to commit suicide for love tomorrow night and follow him on the spot."

"Since society cannot tolerate this relationship, then at least we can be together after we die, right?"

The priest behind the curtain seemed to be shocked.

After a long silence, the priest slowly said, "Child, God wouldn't arrange things this way, and fate wouldn't be so cruel..."

What else did Shu Lingyue want to say?

But she seemed to glance at the time and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Father, I can't stay here any longer. My friend is looking for me. I have to go now."

After saying that, he got up and left in a hurry.

After she left.

A sigh came from behind the curtain.

Then the curtain was lifted.

Chen Yun's tall and slender figure walked out from inside.

Right now.

Chen Yun's feelings were complicated.

Shu Lingyue secretly ran away and traveled from the capital to Qilu. This willful behavior is consistent with her usual willful personality.

At first, Chen Yun thought she was just a spoiled rich girl who came to join in the fun.

But now he realized that Shu Lingyue, with her willful and unconventional personality, was struggling internally.

He had just learned that Shu Lingyue had made a decision: if he died on the summit of Mount Tai tomorrow night, she would not hesitate to commit suicide for love.

For a moment, he felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Not only because tomorrow night's battle concerns his life and death with Shu Lingyue, but also because of Shu Lingyue's heavy feelings for him, which he doesn't know how to handle.

Just when he couldn't figure out how to handle this relationship.

His phone rang.

It was Shu Lingyue who called.

The call was connected.

Shu Lingyue's voice came through the phone: "Chen Yun, Lai Fu and I have already finished praying for you in the cathedral. Where are you now?"

Shu Lingyue's voice was no different from usual, still lively and unconventional.

Women's hearts are truly unfathomable!

Chen Yun composed himself and said, "I'm in the smoking area. You can wait for me at the cathedral entrance. I'll be right out."

After saying this, he hung up the phone and left the confessional.

Chen Yun arrived at the entrance of the cathedral.

Sure enough, he saw Shu Lingyue, Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman waiting for him!

Shu Lingyue said, "Why did you go so far to smoke? We've been waiting for you for ages. Should we go back to the guesthouse to rest, or continue exploring?"

After hearing Shu Lingyue's words in the confessional, Chen Yun was unable to calm down for a long time, especially knowing that if he lost, this woman would commit suicide for him.

He glanced at Shu Lingyue and said casually, "Since you're already out, why not take a walk around?"

It was Shu Lingyue who suggested going out for a stroll.

When he left, Chen Yun didn't seem too happy.

At this moment, Chen Yun offered to continue browsing.

This surprised Shu Lingyue somewhat, because ever since Chen Yun learned that she had a crush on him, he had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding her.

It's truly unbelievable that someone would proactively offer to go shopping together.

A thrilling surprise flashed in Shu Lingyue's eyes, which then crinkled into crescent moons as she exclaimed, "Okay, okay! I just checked the map. There's a popular food street up ahead. Let's go check it out and try some local delicacies."

We walked along the road.

The streets are very bustling at night, with many pedestrians.

However, there were more special police officers maintaining order.

At almost every intersection, and in front of every large supermarket or large public place, there is one or more special police vehicles parked.

Large numbers of special police officers are on duty to maintain order.

Lai Fu asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Chen Yun said calmly, "Because of my duel with Onizuka Ryu tomorrow night, many foreigners have flocked in. To ensure safety, security management has been strengthened. Also, Mount Tai has been closed today. For the next two days, ordinary people will not be able to enter Mount Tai."

I see.

Shu Lingyue and the others suddenly realized.

at the same time.

Onizuka Ryu's private jet has slowly landed at Qilu Airport...
