"Song You, hold on tight to me!"

Song You looked up and saw the girl who had just appeared before him, his heart trembling.

She had already moved him deeply by taking that blow for him.

Now, the way she held onto herself despite the danger was enough to move him.

"Let go of me, or you'll fall down with me."

Although they were still on the hillside, it was more dangerous for him to roll down this side, which was a cliff.

He was now suspended in mid-air, with many protruding rocks and some large trees growing horizontally below him.

Falling like that could easily cause an accident.

"No, I have to pull you up."

She was so weak, yet she still struggled to hold onto him.

Song You looked at the sweat on her forehead and her tightly pursed lips, and his eyes reddened slightly.

He tried his best to climb up with her help.

But when he exerted force, she slid forward, with most of her body suspended in the air along with him.

If this continues, she will fall down with him.

Nanzhi had no choice but to turn to Su Yun and call out, "Su Yun, come and help me!"

The old man had already run away in fright. Su Yun ran down the hillside, intending to help, but then stopped, remembering something.

She looked at Nanzhi, who was almost exhausted, and then at Song You.

Song You's eyes were filled with emotion for Nan Zhi.

If she helps save Song You, will he end up with Nan Zhi, and will he even expose what he just did in front of all the educated youth, making everyone hate her?

That will be her darkest day...

"Su Yun, what are you standing there for? I can't hold on any longer, please help me."

"Nanzhi, I helped you. Will you tell anyone about what happened today?"

"Of course I won't tell anyone."

Although Nanzhi agreed, Su Yun did not believe her.

Su Yun sneered, stepped forward, and shoved Nan Zhi on the shoulder.

Nan Zhi and Song You both fell down like that.

The two rolled several times and crashed to the ground, motionless, as if they were dead.

Su Yun watched this scene with a mixture of excitement and fear.

But the deed is done, and she can no longer hesitate. As long as she doesn't admit to having seen the two of them, no one will doubt her.

Nan Zhi and Song You fell, but they did not die.

Nan Zhi exchanged for a transparent shield, which protected herself and Song You at the same time.

However, in order to ensure that Song You would never forget this day, she still made sure that both of them were injured.

Song You bumped his head and injured his leg.

Nan Zhi was covered in abrasions, but she had exchanged for medicine and could not feel the pain.

After opening her eyes, she struggled to sit up and tore off her tattered coat to bandage Song You's wound.

This is what Song You saw when he woke up.

The girl looked disheveled; she was clearly badly injured and trembling with pain, yet she was still busy taking care of him.

Seeing that she had finished tying the knot, he slowly spoke: "Nanzhi, let's be together."

Nan Zhi looked at him in shock, as if she had misheard.

Song You reached out his aching hand and gently took hers. "After the mission is over, let's get married when we get back, okay?"

Nan Zhi was so excited that her mouth was slightly open. After a long while, she finally found the words: "I...I, let's go back to the station first."

In Song You's eyes, she was overjoyed.

He smiled and used her help to stand up, but as soon as he moved, his legs hurt terribly, and he couldn't move even half a step.

Nanzhi wanted to carry him on her back, but he smiled and patted her shoulder gently, "You're too small to carry me. I'll wait for you here. Go find someone to help you."

Nanzhi frowned, her face full of worry: "Aren't you scared being here all alone?"

"Won't."

Nanzhi then helped him sit down to the side, relieved.

"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

"good."

Song You watched as Nan Zhi ran away, turning back every few steps.

My emotions are complicated.

He did indeed go to the countryside to avoid her; he found her annoying and thought she was too stupid.

At the same time, he also felt that she was just a young girl, not mature enough, and her feelings for him were probably just a dependence on each other from growing up together.

But now, thinking back on the past few days and what happened today, he realized that her feelings for him were genuine.

Fortunately, he realized it not too late, and they will be together.

Thinking this, he suddenly felt dizzy. He shook his head, but the feeling did not improve; instead, it became more severe.

Everything before his eyes began to blur, and he fainted again.

Nan Zhi had only been away from Song You for a short while when she asked 003 to check if anyone was around.

"Zhizhi, yes, Xu Min is hunting in the woods across the street."

Nanzhi followed 003's directions and walked over.

There was a forest in front of us, and it seemed to be full of wild game.

Xu Min usually hunts in the evening and brings the prey back late at night to resell in town.

There is currently no policy explicitly prohibiting hunting; what the state does not allow is the buying and selling of animals by individuals.

But there was no other way; Xu Qingyuan's illness couldn't wait.

Fortunately, the policy will be relaxed in a few months.

Individuals will be allowed to operate the business at that time; all they will need is a business license.

Nan Zhi walked into the woods, intending to see where Xu Min was, but unexpectedly she stepped on something and was about to fall into a trap when suddenly a large hand grabbed her.

Pulled back unexpectedly, she threw herself into a broad embrace that smelled of wild grass.

With her other, more mobile hand, she instinctively hugged the other person, her heart still pounding from the shock.

After hugging for an unknown amount of time, a slightly hoarse voice came from above.

"There is no danger now."

Nan Zhi then released her slender yet strong waist. As she left, she inadvertently brushed her hand across her abdomen, causing the other person to catch their breath and release her wrist.

"Are you injured?" Xu Min's dark eyes swept over her, and his brows furrowed.

Nanzhi said embarrassedly, "I accidentally fell down the opposite hillside."

Xu Min's gaze fell on her face, and as he listened to her nonchalant tone, his brows furrowed even more.

He knew how dangerous the opposite hillside was, but she acted as if she wasn't in any pain at all.

Nan Zhi scratched her messy hair, then suddenly remembered something and said in a panic, "Xu Min, my friend is injured and is waiting for me up ahead. I can't carry him. Can you help me carry him to the clinic?"

Xu Min's eyes darkened as he looked at her worried expression.

She must be one of her very good friends.

Was she the little girl who offered to help her carry her things when she got off the bus that day?

Xu Min followed Nan Zhi to the place where she fell. He looked at the weeds and thorns all over the ground, and then at Nan Zhi, who was pricked by thorns but did not utter a sound of pain.

She seemed different from the other educated youth.

Nanzhi stopped in an open space.

“Song You…”

There was no one in the open space, only a glaring stain of blood.
