"Calm down, we need to assess the situation first." Qin Yu didn't let go of her, his grip on her hand tightening fiercely, accompanied by intense anxiety and unease. His chest felt as if it were bound tightly by ropes, making it hard to breathe. That was the first time he had truly felt the fragility of life.

“I know.” Yu Yuetong’s eyes hardened. Although her heart was still trembling, she understood that the current situation could not be resolved by her impulsiveness. “But we have to act quickly!” she continued, her words filled with anxiety, yet she couldn’t shake off his hand, which was holding hers tightly, and a strange warmth welled up in her heart.

“I want to, but we need to stay calm.” Qin Yu looked at her, his eyes filled with an undeniable affection. That affection, like sunlight piercing through the murky air, sent a jolt through her heart.

"Yes, I know what to do." Yu Yuetong nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth—a smile of mutual support.

So, the two of them walked forward together, tacitly, through the crowd. Yu Yuetong looked at the injured boy, her heart aching. She saw him repeating, "I need water!" clearly in immense pain. She couldn't help but look at Qin Yu: "We have to give him water! He might be dehydrated soon!"

"I'll go right away." Qin Yu paused, as if considering something. No matter how foolish the action might be, reason had been overwhelmed by emotion in this tragic situation. He released Yu Yuetong and quickly ran towards the other side of the crowd, his steps almost swift and decisive.

Yu Yuetong watched his retreating figure and suddenly felt a pang of heartache. She didn't know when she had developed such a strong dependence on Qin Yu, but at this moment, her gaze followed him until he disappeared into the chaotic scene of the car accident.

"What should we do?" Yu Yuetong tried to calm herself down, but then she heard a louder commotion. The surrounding crowd began to murmur, some pointing fingers and others shouting for an ambulance. She felt uneasy, yet also a sense of responsibility she had never felt before.

Her urge to help grew stronger, and finally she mustered her courage and shouted, "Everyone, please call an ambulance immediately! Let professionals handle this!" Her voice rang out loudly among the crowd, seemingly carrying a sense of determination and conviction. Inspired by her resolve, those around her began to act.

Just then, a huge explosion rang out again, almost right next to her ear, as if tearing the entire space apart. Yu Yuetong was instantly thrown off balance and fell to the ground, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Yu Yuetong!" Qin Yu's voice came from afar as he hurried through the chaos, his face filled with anxiety.

She forced herself to stand up, battling her fear, but was utterly stunned by what she saw. The enclosed darkness seemed to emanate from an endless despair. She felt a chill in her chest, a gripping fear as if her heart were being squeezed.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Qin Yu rushed to her side, his eyes burning with passion. He held her hand tightly with one hand, and protected the back of her head with the other, his grip firm yet gentle.

"But...but...this scene is too terrifying!" Yu Yuetong's voice trembled, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She tried hard to control herself, wanting to appear strong, but she was incredibly vulnerable.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be by your side. We'll get through this together." Qin Yu's tone softened, yet it held an undeniable firmness. He lowered his head, his gaze fixed on Yu Yuetong, carrying a warmth that penetrated to her very bones, causing her to tremble slightly.

In that critical moment, everything around them seemed to slow down. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead without hesitation, as if to dissolve all the panic and anger in her heart.

As if the wheel of fate had shifted in an instant, with his unexpected kiss, Yu Yuetong felt warmth emanating from him. That warmth, like the gentle touch of the bright moon, dispelled the chill in her heart and made her feel no longer alone.

Yu Yuetong's heart pounded like a drumbeat. Faced with this sudden chaos, her thoughts were in complete disarray. At this moment, she seemed like a feather caught in a gale, terrified and helpless.

Just as she was stunned and at a loss, Qin Yu's hand tightly grasped hers. His face radiated a warmth that felt both distant and intimate, and the light shining in his eyes instantly gave Yu Yuetong a sense of security.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll be by your side. We’ll get through this together,” he said softly, his voice firm and resolute, as if he were building a solid protective barrier for her.

Yu Yuetong's gaze flickered slightly, and a strange turmoil stirred within her for him. She had never imagined that this man, usually so cold and aloof, would hold her tightly in his arms at this critical moment, conveying an unspoken warmth. For poor Yu Yuetong, this intimacy was more powerful than any promise.

"Qin Yu, I...I'm worried about those people..." she stammered, her voice humble and trembling.

"No matter what, we can't just sit here and wait to die." Qin Yu frowned slightly, his gaze passing over her shoulder, but the words he was about to say remained unspoken.

He tightened his grip and instantly pulled Yu Yuetong to the other side of the accident scene. Clearly, there were more injured people in need of help. Yu Yuetong, though somewhat critical, felt a pang of envy for his courageous and responsible attitude, as if inspired by the light he radiated.

"Hurry! I hope this can help them." Yu Yuetong quickened her pace, unconsciously gaining a bit more courage. She felt her heartbeat synchronize with Qin Yu's in an instant, as if the two of them had already interacted tacitly in this chaotic scene, creating a strange understanding.

However, just as they were fully focused on the rescue, a sudden, violent explosion rocked the surrounding area. The entire space seemed to shake, and the enormous sound plunged her into a suffocating darkness.

"Yu Yuetong! Are you alright?" Qin Yu turned around hurriedly, his eyes filled with panic. He was afraid of losing her again, and he held her fingers so tightly that he almost buried them in his palm, as if he wanted to fix her at the center of his life.

"I...I'm fine! How about you?" Yu Yuetong tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't hide the turmoil in her heart.

"Should we leave first?" Qin Yu realized that staying here might be even more dangerous. As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Yu Yuetong's hand and rushed towards the retreating vehicles and crowd.

Just then, terrified cries rang in her ears again. Yu Yuetong looked at the injured and helpless people, her heart aching. Although the situation was shrouded in mist, she still couldn't bear to give up.
