"..."

Shen Rao stood still, watching her straight back as she stepped into the darkness. For a moment, an inexplicable panic swept through his heart.

The two worlds are so distinct.

"Qi Yan!"

He strode forward and grabbed her wrist.

The dividing line between the street lights and the darkness shone on the clasped hands. Qi Yan looked back in shock, "Didn't I ask you to wait a while..."

"I'll go there too."

"Don't make trouble, I'll be back soon..."

"I'll go there too."

He repeated it again.

"..."

Qi Yan took a deep breath, and the cold air entered his lungs, making his internal organs so cold that they hurt.

She pulled her hand back and said, "You stay here."

Shen Rao held her tighter and tighter as he let her struggle. Qi Yan was a little annoyed, and the calm lake in her heart began to boil.

"Shen Rao, I asked you to be good and don't make me angry!"

Shen Rao restrained her arms, leaned closer to her, his dark eyes were deep and calm, "I'm not obedient, Qi Yan, I've never been obedient, and I don't want to be obedient."

Under Qi Yan's stunned gaze, he stepped across the junction line. At this moment, there was light behind her, while he stood in boundless darkness.

"I will always be with you, no matter where you are or what you are facing."

Even if it was hell, he would enjoy it.

The cold wind made his nose slightly red, and his thin lips curved into a wide arc. The overflowing white mist could not blur the deep and indissoluble emotions in his eyes, and the light in his eyes was astonishingly bright.

"..."

Qi Yan looked at him and rubbed the gun slowly with his hand holding it.

She felt something was growing wildly in her heart, swallowing her up, and she could hardly breathe...

Qi Yan moved stiffly and walked quickly into the depths, leaving only one sentence to Shen Rao.

"Then follow."

"it is good."

Shen Rao followed her and pulled her clothes with his fingertips. Qi Yan paused for a moment and ignored him.

The street lights in this row of green belts broke down some time ago. It is now late at night and it is very dark, forming a sharp contrast with the opposite side.

"Well……"

"Ah ah ah..."

Painful groans were heard, and several people were twitching and twisting on the ground, covering their wounds.

Qi Yan took a look at the damaged surveillance camera and kicked away the sniper rifles beside them.

When she was next to the person, she turned to look at Shen Rao, who had an unclear expression.

"Are you sure you want to see it?"

It was dark enough here that one could barely distinguish the outlines of both sides. Shen Rao's gazes on the ground converged and he looked back at her firmly.

"Well, I'm not leaving, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Row……"

Qi Yan raised his foot and stepped directly on the wound on the thigh of the nearest person. Blood gushed out. Perhaps it was too painful, the other party did not have the strength to shout out, and the sweat on his head soaked his clothes that blended into the darkness.

"You, ah! Why...why...why don't you ask..."

The man was tortured by her to the point of almost fainting from the pain, and spoke intermittently.

The only response he got was Qi Yan stepping on him even harder. Just when his eyes rolled back in pain and he was about to faint, he suddenly felt a new sharp pain in his scalp.

"Duan Pengbo sent you here, right?"

Not a question, but an affirmative.

His pupils trembled violently as he looked at the indifferent and cold face so close to him.

On New Year's Eve when the capital was so cold that it could freeze people to death, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

'pia——'

"Oh, what a pity."

Duan Pengpu picked up the dumpling that fell on him, blew on it and put it back into his mouth, enjoying the rich aroma of cabbage and pork.

The person across the table saw him eating with his mouth full of saliva, put down his chopsticks with disgust, and took the wet towel handed to him by the bodyguard to wipe his hands.

"How's the thing I asked you to do going? I left my home during the New Year, not to eat dumplings with you."

Duan Pengbo picked up a dumpling and smeared it with garlic paste, raised his eyes and smiled, "You will get the news soon."

The person opposite snorted coldly and threw the wet towel on the table.

"But I advise you not to hold too high hope. She is not that easy to kill." Duan Pengpu said vaguely while chewing dumplings.

"She must die. You have to know that our lives depend on this matter. Do you think that if I go in, you can stay out of it? Duan Pengbo, don't forget..."

He reached out his hand and tapped the table.

"clear."

Duan Pengpu swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and lowered his brows. This garlic is not good, it tastes bitter.

……

After getting the answer she wanted, Qi Yan let go of the man and turned to look at Shen Rao.

She was still stepping on people's thighs, and the indifference in her eyes that almost blended into the darkness seemed to have turned into substance.

Shen Rao walked over slowly, took her hand without saying a word, pulled out a handkerchief from the lining and helped her wipe the blood off her hands.

Qi Yan stared at his movements, and in the dim light, saw his slightly trembling eyelashes.

"Scared?"

She asked very softly.

"No," Shen Rao shook his head and looked down, "Can you take your foot off him?"

Qi Yan did as he was told and raised his eyebrows, "You still say you're not afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, it's just..."

"Ok?"

Shen Rao took a deep breath and said, "I just kind of hate it when you touch other people."

He helped her wipe her hands more carefully and attentively. He also hated having other people's blood on Qi Yan's body, so if she had to have blood on her, it would be his!

Qi Yan: “…”

"He is a criminal..."

"Not even prisoners!"

Even a prisoner was jealous. Shen Rao knew that he was completely hopeless.

The ambulance helped to carry the injured. Mu Yuan yawned and leaned against the police car. He glanced at Qi Yan who was standing beside him. She was staring at the flashing red light, wondering what she was thinking.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Do you know who sent them?" Mu Yuan called her.

"Yeah, I almost know."

"What's the reason?"

"They want to take revenge on me." Qi Yan concluded calmly.

The one who came to kill this time was not Shen Rao, but her.

"..." Mu Yuan rubbed his face, "It's not a rare thing."

She got involved and had the ability to stir up trouble, so she would definitely be hated by others.

This was also the reason why he didn't want Qi Yan to get involved at first.

When he thought of the man's death, Mu Yuan closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, he grabbed Qi Yan's arm.

"No, you should go back to Qishan."

Qi Yan frowned, "I still have a mission to complete..."

"It's just to protect Shen Rao. You're going to marry him, so take him with you. You should go back to Qishan together. We can't stay in the imperial capital anymore. You should leave tomorrow morning!"

"I'll arrange a special plane for you."

As he said this, he took out his cell phone to call someone.

"Uncle Mu, calm down first." Qi Yan stopped him.

"Okay, I'll calm down, I'll calm down," Mu Yuan said slowly, but collapsed again the next second, "How can I calm down?!"

"Uncle Mu, I'll be fine."

Qi Yan soothed in a gentle voice.

"I know your strength, but... Qi Yan, you can't be in trouble, you absolutely can't be in trouble!"

He seemed to be entering some kind of terrifying nightmare.

For some reason, he was particularly sensitive to things targeting Qi Yan herself.

Qi Yan looked at him silently, letting him grab her arm until it hurt. At this moment, she was pulled into someone's arms.

Shen Rao grabbed Mu Yuan's hand with a sullen face, "Chief Mu, you hurt her."
