"She might become my fatal weakness. If I'm not careful, we'll both be in an irreversible situation." Xiao Yi thought to himself. He thought of the painful lessons he had learned from taking care of others, and those bloody scenes kept flashing in his mind.

However, when he saw the girl's trembling body and fear-filled eyes, a trace of pity welled up in his heart. "Should I just leave her in this deserted place and let her face those unknown dangers alone? How is this different from killing her with my own hands?" Xiao Yi's conscience was tortured. He could not ignore the trace of human kindness and moral responsibility.

Faced with this dilemma, Xiao Yi's heart felt like it was being roasted on fire. He was torn between two options and didn't know what to do.

The girl seemed to see through Xiao Yi's thoughts, and her eyes, which were originally full of dependence and trust, instantly turned into anger and despair. She bit her lip tightly, stared at Xiao Yi, and said loudly: "You don't need to save me, just let me die!"

Her voice was tearful, filled with determination and indignation. It echoed in the empty ruins, like an accusation against the injustice of fate.

After saying that, she desperately tried to break free from the ropes, twisting her body violently. The red marks left by the ropes became more and more obvious, but it did not slow down her movements at all.

Like a mad little animal, she rushed towards the ruins nearby, her steps stumbling but remarkably determined. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and the tears on her face were dried by the wind, leaving traces of them.

"I don't want to be a burden to anyone anymore!" she cried, her voice shrill and sorrowful. Every word seemed to exhaust all her strength, filled with deep pain and helplessness.

Xiao Yi was shocked by her sudden action and didn't react for a moment. When he came to his senses, he quickly reached out to stop the girl's crazy behavior.

Xiao Yi was startled by the girl's intense reaction. His pupils instantly dilated, and his face was filled with astonishment. Almost instinctively, he quickly reached out to hold her.

The girl struggled desperately like a wild animal out of control, trying to break free from Xiao Yi's restraints. Xiao Yi held her arms tightly, feeling the desperate power erupting from her body.

The girl's eyes were filled with despair, a bottomless darkness, as if she had lost all hope of survival. But within this despair, a stubborn light flickered, like a blazing fire in the cold winter, refusing to go out easily.

She stared straight at Xiao Yi, her gaze seemed to penetrate his soul, causing him to feel a complex emotional impact, including sympathy for the girl's tragic experience, admiration for her strong will, and a trace of deeply touched guilt.

Xiao Yi looked at her with such eyes, and his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak for a while. He unconsciously loosened the strength of his hands, as if he was afraid of hurting the girl who was already covered in bruises.
