"No! I won't leave!"

Lu Xingzhou knew that people like Shen were taught from a young age that—

Even if there's only a one in a thousand chance, they will still rush to the front for everyone's sake.

"Don't leave me, I'm sinking!"

Lu Xingzhou's voice trembled, tears streaming down his face as he sobbed uncontrollably.

"My mother is dead, I have nothing left, I really have nothing left, please don't abandon me, please!"

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that a piano master who is extremely elegant on stage would cling to the hem of a seriously injured person's clothes like a child?

Helpless, desperate, hysterical.

His heart was bleeding, and he tried to take a step forward.

The leg that had been shot could barely support him, and with a thud, he fell back to the ground.

Several armed police officers hurriedly helped the man up and persuaded him to leave, saying they would handle the situation.

After a moment of calm, she finally turned around and pulled Lu Xingzhou into her arms.

"Sweetie, Uncle won't leave, don't cry."

He had suffered injuries of this magnitude several times before, and he could actually carry out missions despite his physical condition.

But suddenly he wanted to be selfish and use these four or five gunshot wounds to become a deserter and run away to the lover in his heart.

He has sacrificed too much for his beliefs and for justice in the world.

Let's reserve this last bit of favoritism for Xingzhou.

… …

Lu Xingzhou didn't know how he left home and got to the alley entrance.

All I know is that he cried a lot.

Shen kept wiping his tears with her last, bloodless hand.

Evacuating people is not as easy as one might imagine.

So at this moment, only Lu Xingzhou was left to support the sinking one.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's exploding! Run!!!"

Immediately afterwards, a loud rumble arose, and the earth shook violently.

The surrounding houses began to collapse rapidly due to the massive shockwave.

Lu Xingzhou was startled and, disregarding his grief, could only carry Chen and rush out desperately.

Rocks continued to fall from the surrounding area, and Lu Xingzhou quickened his pace. Just as he was about to reach the alley entrance, a huge rock suddenly fell down in front of him.

The dust rose up, blocking the way.

Bang--

Lu Xingzhou was caught off guard and hit his head, falling to the ground again with Shen.

"Chen, Chen, hurry up and go, I..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Shen lifted one of his arms and flung him straight out of the alley.

"Run! Run!"

The next moment, a roaring sound arose.

Lu Xingzhou didn't have time to escape, but he saw a huge boulder smash into Shen's body.

His lover finally fell in a pool of blood before his eyes.

At that moment, everything fell silent.

Lu Xingzhou heard himself shout, "Sink!!!"

Without even realizing it, it rushed back.

… …

The explosion happened too suddenly and had a wide impact.

Fu Linyuan, who was still returning in a police car to pick up the people, was the first to sense something was wrong and immediately stopped the vehicle.

He lowered his head and quickly hugged Si Jin in the passenger seat.

Splash—

The shockwave from the explosion shattered the glass.

A small shard grazed Fu Linyuan's ear, and blood slowly trickled down his earlobe.

It was as if she had put on a beautiful pair of earrings for her lover.

Si Jin stood there, stunned.

To prevent casualties, he used his divine power to minimize the harm to people from the collapse of surrounding buildings, but he overlooked...

car……

"A-Yuan." Si Jin reached out and touched Fu Linyuan's ear, using her divine power to heal the wound, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Fu Linyuan shook his head, noticing the worry in Si Jin's eyes, and seemed to realize something.

She quickly explained, "Jinjin, I'm sorry, I forgot again that you're a time traveler and don't need protection."

"However, it's just a habit to instinctively hug you; I don't want you to get hurt."

"You're not angry, are you?"

"If you're angry, will kneeling on a washboard help?"
