"Kill me, and you can report back to your superiors!"
"To fulfill my duty? I don't need it. Besides, I never care what others think of me. I'm also helping you test this man's sincerity. Are you sure you want to betray my good intentions?"
"Yi Yi, don't mess around!" Mu Nanxun was so nervous that his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. He couldn't even imagine the consequences if she accidentally touched the trigger and the gun suddenly went off.
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
As the two argued back and forth, the fifth brother raised his hand to interrupt their conversation.
"Stop arguing, just tell me your choice."
Mu Nanxun did not answer. Instead, he walked to the opposite side of Yi Yi, pointed the gun in the man's hand at his own head, paused, and said calmly, "Shoot."
"No, you mustn't shoot. Mu Nanxun, I won't let you die, I won't let you die like this!"
Yi rushed forward to block Mu Nanxun, but was immediately escorted back by two people.
The fifth brother nodded slightly, signaling the man to fire.
"Bang--"
A loud bang...
Before Mu Nanxun closed his eyes, he saw Yi Yi breaking free of her restraints and rushing towards him without regard for her own safety.
I'm sorry, Yi Yi, from now on, I can't protect you anymore...
The expected pain never came. Well, he was shot in the head; he probably died without much pain.
I never expected that I would still be conscious after I died.
"Mumu...Mumu, wake up..."
Can you still hear sounds?
Mu Nanxun opened his eyes and saw Yi Yi's anxious face.
Yi Yi… how could she be here? Wasn't I already dead? Then Yi Yi…
He sat up abruptly, only to find himself in his and Yi Yi's bedroom. He had just woken up in bed.
What's going on?
Yi Yi was taken away, wasn't she? He went to find her, didn't he? He went into a basement, experiencing hallucinations again and again. In the end, Lao Wu forced him to make a choice: either he died, or Yi Yi died. He chose to exchange his life for Yi Yi's. He clearly remembered the sound of the bullet whizzing past his ear, even the cold feeling of the bullet grazing his skin… He should be dead now!
But how did he end up at home, on his bed in the bedroom?
"Mumu, you're finally awake! You have no idea how scared I was. I was worried you'd damaged your brain, or that you wouldn't wake up. Oh, by the way, I asked Ouyang to come over. Even though you're awake now, we still need to check you out to make sure you're alright before I can relax. Seriously, I was so scared..."
When Yi saw him sit up, she excitedly hugged him and sobbed as she talked for a long time.
Mu Nanxun became more and more confused as she listened. She turned away, grabbed Yi Yi's arm, and looked at her, asking, "What did you just say, 'fall'?"
He was clearly shot in the head, so how can you say he fell?
Upon hearing this, Yi Yi seemed even more startled, grabbing Mu Nanxun's arm and reaching out to touch his forehead.
"Mumu, don't scare me. You're not telling me you really damaged your brain and don't remember anything, are you? Just now, you accidentally fell down the steps and hit your head, then you passed out. I had the men in black carry you into the room, but they couldn't wake you up no matter what they did. That's why I sent someone to fetch Ouyang. He should be in our yard by now. Come on, I'll take you to Ouyang to have him check you out."
