Yan Shuze gripped her tightly, using all his strength to stop her from pulling back.
He greedily inhaled her scent, but blood uncontrollably gushed from his mouth.
His gaze remained fixed on Sheng Qian's face without blinking.
This is his last chance.
The last time I saw her up close.
"I'm sorry..." Yan Shuze wanted to touch her face, but remembering his dirty hands, he could only hold tightly the knife she was stabbing at him.
"I can't protect anyone but you... Forgive me. I'm too weak, they're too strong, I can only choose you."
Sheng Qian's expression changed slightly. "You remember."
“Even if I forget myself, I can’t forget you,” Yan Shuze tried to laugh, but blood welled up in his mouth; his body had been ruined by the drugs.
Even without that blow, he wouldn't have lived much longer.
He knew exactly how terrible this side effect was.
The greater the power it grants, the stronger the backlash will be.
"I wish I could forget you... but I can't."
As the memories flooded back, he regretted the hurt he had caused her.
But he didn't regret killing her family for them; at least that way, he could protect her.
Sheng Qian is his light.
He wanted to protect this light from being extinguished by darkness, and the only way to do so was to become one with those people.
Only by becoming the master of darkness can one make darkness retreat and protect her.
The person he was protecting disappeared in that way, and he searched for them frantically.
He began to revolt against those people.
Their fate was to be completely destroyed.
Even with his immense power, he was still crushed by those stronger opponents.
Then he came here.
I met her again.
It's a pity he didn't have all his memories, and that he'll repeat the same mistake again.
Knowing that she has someone protecting her is enough.
Long Yunting... He knew this person.
Even if this person is from District S, no one would dare to touch him easily in his old age.
With someone like that by Sheng Qian's side, he could leave with peace of mind.
Yan Shuze slowly loosened his grip a little, then tightened it, and helped Sheng Qian draw the knife.
Fresh blood kept gushing out.
His gaze never left Sheng Qian for a moment.
He wanted to say something but then felt relieved.
Even though he protected her, he still killed her family with his own hands; that's a fact.
He was grateful to have returned to this era and to see such a reliable person standing beside her, who had cleared out Sector S in advance and prevented the spread of the poison in Sector S.
She is safe.
He was relieved.
Through her blurry vision, she saw Long Yunting helping her to her feet.
Daylight broke.
That scene is frozen in time forever.
Memories of the previous generation flooded in for a brief moment, then slowly faded away.
"I'm willing to die in your hands as long as you can protect my daughter."
"If Sheng Qian cannot be used by us, then we will have to leave you. If you do not have such ability, I will send someone else."
"This is the last thing the Fu family has researched. Please keep it safe for us. One day in the future... please pass it on to Qianqian."
"Yan Che, there are no soft-hearted people in S District. I hope you won't disappoint me either."
"Yan Che, I thought you would be different from them, but in the end you still colluded with him. You harmed my family, from this moment on, we are mortal enemies!"
"Yan Che, who was it that helped you get to where you are today? You ungrateful wretch!"
"Yan Che, you are a lackey of S District."
"Yan Che, you're nothing but a pawn raised by the Yan family. What are you so proud of?"
"Yan Che! You're my first friend, let's play together from now on! You're angry again, why are you so stingy? You're a boy, and I'm a girl, how can you like dolls... Never mind, here you go!"
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually lonelier than you. You're alone, and so am I. We'd make a perfect pair to hang out with!"
"This doll is so old and you still haven't thrown it away? It seems you really like cute things. Yan Che, you're too much like a girl."
The darkness that followed was just like the weather when he watched his parents' coffins being buried as a child...
*
As Sheng Qian watched the person leave calmly, her body moved forward uncontrollably.
Long Yunting helped her closer.
Looking at the quiet person in front of her, Sheng Qian seemed to be thinking of something, and her expression became somewhat gloomy.
But she doesn't regret it.
Thinking that she had once treated him as a friend, only to be betrayed in the end, she felt nothing but hatred for him.
"Shallowly".
“If it weren’t for those things, we would still be good friends, and my world wouldn’t have become so bad. Sometimes, I wonder if he was forced into it. But after being forced into it too many times, I’ve become numb. Nobody wants things to come to this.”
"It's Sector's fault. I won't let this place exist anymore," even if the Helan family is there, the final result will definitely be disbandment.
She knew that Yan Che had a difficult childhood in the Yan family. When they met in their youth, he followed her like a little girl.
He even insisted on taking the doll from her hand.
Sometimes he would pick up things she didn't want, and when she found out, his face would turn as red as rouge.
She never imagined that such a person would turn out like that.
They became mortal enemies.
Perhaps sensing Sheng Qian's emotions, Long Yunting hugged her tightly, even feeling a little jealous.
If Yan Shuze had never hurt her and her family, would he have lost the right to stay by her side?
