"If two people are determined to be together, they should be honest with each other. I don't want you to get hurt in any way."
"Junyu..."
"I will do my best to protect you." Huo Junyu looked into her eyes.
"Me too," Jiang Mianmian smiled. "I'll protect you too."
"fool!"
"I'm serious! Who says only men can protect women?"
