Before she could react, the hand recoiled as if it had been burned.
Su Tang felt both amused and touched. She reached out and accurately grabbed his large, restless hand in the darkness.
His palms were hot, covered with thick calluses from years of holding guns; they were rough, yet incredibly reassuring.
Qin Ye's body stiffened again, but this time he did not back down. Instead, he gripped her hand tightly with an undeniable force, enveloping her soft little hand entirely in his palm.
Su Tang barely paid attention to the entire movie.
When Wang Cheng on the screen shouted "For victory, fire on me!" amidst the flames of war, she was tilting her head, looking at the focused and resolute profile of the man beside her in the dim light of the screen.
She saw that his jawline was taut, and his eyes, always sharp as an eagle's, gleamed with a fiery light. He gripped her hand, unconsciously tightening his hold.
Su Tang knew in her heart that this man had just returned from real gunfire.
For him, the plot of the movie was not a story, but a reality that could happen at any time.
If he were in that situation, he would definitely make the same choice.
Her heart softened, and she gently scratched his palm with her fingertips.
Qin Ye was startled, snapping out of his movie reverie and turning to look at her. In the darkness, her eyes shone like stars. His tense body instantly relaxed.
As the movie ended, the crowd surged out like a tide. Qin Ye still held her hand tightly, afraid that she would get lost.
"Let's take that side road, it's closer." After leaving the movie theater, Su Tang pointed to a quiet alley next to her.
"Okay." Qin Ye had no objections.
The alley was narrow, with tall, mottled earthen walls on both sides, blocking out the afternoon sun and making it somewhat dark and quiet, like two different worlds from the hustle and bustle of the main street outside.
The sound of their footsteps echoed softly in the alley.
Less than twenty meters into the alley, Su Tang felt that she was being watched again, and it was ten times stronger than when she was at the movie theater entrance!
murderous look!
It was an undisguised murderous intent that had already locked onto its target!
She had teetered on the brink of life and death countless times in her past life, and she was intimately familiar with this feeling; it was no illusion.
Almost at the same time, Qin Ye also instantly realized something was wrong!
He abruptly stopped, pulled Su Tang behind him, and instantly tensed all his muscles, entering a fighting state.
"Come out!" he hissed, his voice carrying a sense of oppression that echoed through the empty alley.
There was no response.
The alley was deathly silent, with only the rustling of the wind blowing through the withered grass on the wall.
But the murderous intent that felt like thorns in their backs grew stronger and stronger, enveloping them from all directions.
wrong!
With Qin Ye protecting her behind her, Su Tang made a decision in her mind in an instant.
This killing intent wasn't directed at Qin Ye, but was precisely locked onto her!
Her target is her!
Who is it? Zhou Huai'an's remaining followers? Impossible, they don't have the guts or the ability. Is it an accomplice of the bandits from Langcuo Village? Or...?
In the instant that several thoughts flashed through her mind, Su Tang's pupils suddenly contracted!
She saw a barely perceptible metallic glint in the shadow of a wall at the end of the alley!
It's a scope! It's locked onto Su Tang.
There was no time to think, no time to explain!
"careful!"
Su Tang shouted sharply. At the same time, almost instinctively, she used all her strength to forcefully and violently push the unsuspecting Qin Ye to the side!
"Bang!"
A muffled gunshot rang out almost simultaneously with Su Tang's shout!
