âIâm not as fragile as you think.â
âButâ¦â The actor said seriously, âI saw Alice looking very nervous. I thought you were in danger.â
âSheâs right. It would be troublesome if I were to be arrested by those useless FBI men and court-martialed. But I wouldnât let those idiots arrest me so easily.â
Alice was unnecessarily worried.
!!
âAlright then!â Hua Jin raised his hands in surrender. âJust take it that Iâm causing you more problems!â
Gong Jie gave him a long look, then suddenly walked up to him and wrapped his arm around the back of his neck, drawing the actorâs head gently against his chest.
âIâm glad youâre here.â
Listening to his sonorous heartbeat, Hua Jin calmed down a little.
âGong Jie, have you really decided?â
âEh?â
âDecided that you want to be with meâ¦â Hua Jin had his doubts still. âWhy⦠have you decided on me?â
âI donât know either. Who knows anything for sure, when it comes to relationships. Iâm still wondering why my sister likes a guy like Mu Yazhe.â Pausing for a moment, he closed his eyes again. âBut now, Iâve come to terms with it. Whether one likes a person or falls in love with a person, is often something that happens in the space of a single thought.â
âIn the space of a single thoughtâ¦â Hua Jin broke into laughter. âIs that what they mean by love at first sight?â
Gong Jie pursed his lips. âReally? I only know that I really hated you the first time I saw you.â
Hua Jin was dumbstruck.
Hated!?
Hua Jin was skeptical. âWhy did you hate me?â
âWhat right do you have to any part of my sister?â The man frowned slightly. âShe belongs to me alone. Why should I need a younger brother like you?â
ââ¦â
âOh,â he replied. âWell⦠Itâs like this. At that time, I had a special feeling towards Shishi. At first, I thought that I must have fallen in love with her to be feeling that way. Later, I realized that the warmth she gave me was actually the kind of warmth that one gets from a home. Perhaps it was because I had no concept of home since I was young, so being with her made me feel a sense of belonging. In addition, sheâs a little older than meâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Gong Jieâs normally cold eyes instantly softened. âFrom now on, wherever I am, thatâs your home.â
The actor was extremely touched when he heard this.
âYes, itâs settled then.â
The two of them looked at each other.
At this moment, Aliceâs voice suddenly came over the radio.
âXiao Jie, time to move.â
Gong Jie replied expressionlessly, âMeet up at the harbor in half an hour.â
âAlright. Be careful.â
With that, he turned to the actor. âFollow me and donât act on your own, understand?â
âWill I need to shoot?â
âNo.â
âThen these two gunsâ¦â
âWhen I fall, it will be time for you to protect me. Do you understand?â
The actor nodded.

Gong Jie walked to the window and lifted the curtains, counting down silently.

âBoom!â
There was a loud bang.
The cannonball blasted a huge pit 300 meters away from the hospital.
The row of houses caught fire.
Originally, there was a refugee shelter near the hospital. Now, all the refugees had gathered in the hospital, and it was in ruins.
Someone in the hospital shouted hysterically, âAir raid! Itâs an air raid!â
The air-raid siren sounded instantly.
