Zhou Yanjing's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and the pain was so severe that he almost couldn't breathe. He lowered his head, held up her face, and his eyes swept over her eyebrows, nose, and lips inch by inch, finally stopping at the fresh scratch on her cheek.

His thumb gently stroked the scar, his voice so soft as if he was afraid of disturbing her: "Does it hurt?"

Shen Liwu shook her head, but her tears fell even more violently. Her eyelashes were wet and her eyes were as fragile as a frightened deer.

"When I jumped off the cliff, I thought I was dead... But, but I don't want to die yet. I still have a lot to say to you. I want to be with you for a long, long time...

I jumped down and fell on a tree. I fell from the tree again and didn't die, but I sprained my ankle.

Last night, a hunter was passing by and he took me home. It was not until the next day when my comrades from the army came to find me that I realized you had been looking for me the whole night.

I know you are anxious and must be worried about me. ”

In just one night, Zhou Yanjing's beard had grown stubble, his face looked pale, and he looked so haggard.

"It's fine if you're dead, it's fine if you're alive."

Zhou Yanjing's hands were still shaking. He didn't know what he was afraid of. Everyone had been found.

"It's all my fault. I failed to protect you. If I had picked you up, this wouldn't have happened."

He blamed himself for not picking her up, but he was a soldier and had no choice.

If possible, he would like to...

"It's not your fault. I'm the one being targeted. You're busy too. You have your own things to do."

"Then... shall I only protect you?"

"䗽." Shen Liwu didn't understand the meaning of his words and nodded with a smile.

"Let's go home."

Zhou Yanjing picked her up with his rough hands and weighed her in his arms.

He looked at Bai Jingnan and said, "Let's withdraw."

"yes."

Shen Liwu was found, and the medical staff were of no use and all were sent back home.

Along the way, Zhou Yanjing held Shen Liwu in his arms the whole time, and he was reluctant to let go. Shen Liwu felt that something was wrong with him. He was too dull all day.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Shen Liwu asked softly, her little face pressed against his chest, feeling his strong and powerful heart, feeling the pounding heart in his chest.

Zhou Yanjing said nothing, but held her arms tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.

Shen Liwu was a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything. She let him hold her and enjoy the peace of the moment.

Shen Liwu was sent to the military hospital for a physical examination, although she had refused many times.

"I really don't have any, no need to check."

She is a doctor herself and knows what is going on.

"A doctor cannot treat himself." Zhou Yanjing said stubbornly.

"I'll be embarrassed if others see you like this." Shen Liwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm really fine, I just sprained my foot, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Shen Liwu's voice was weak, with a hint of helplessness and coquettishness, she patted Zhou Yanjing's arm gently, trying to break free from his embrace.

However, the man's arms did not move at all, as if they were welded together, locking her tightly to his chest.
