Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Meng Tang was awakened by the loud sound of rain.

When I groggily opened one eye, I heard shouts from outside.

"The mountain is collapsing! Run!"

"Wake up, everyone, wake up!"

What happened?

Before Meng Tang could react, Tong Tong rushed in in a flustered manner.

"Sister Tang, Teacher Li, run! The heavy rain has washed away the mountain, causing a landslide. The temple is about to collapse. If we don't run, we'll all be buried here!"

Startled by Tong Tong's sudden movement, Meng Tang and Li Su both regained their senses.

But then Meng Tang remembered the cassette tape she had temporarily left in a meditation room at the temple.

That includes everything from the start of filming to the successful completion of the shoot.

If the film crew were buried inside along with the temple, all their hard work over this period would be for nothing.

Without thinking, Meng Tang read aloud, "My cassette tape."

Then he took off and rushed out.

Upon hearing what Meng Tang said, Li Su realized something was wrong and quickly chased after Meng Tang.

"Tangtang, don't go! The temple is about to collapse. No matter how important the tape is, it's not as important as your life!"

Although she and Meng Tang have now transmigrated into the book, no one understands Meng Tang better than Li Su.

No one knows how difficult their journey has been in real life.

Meng Tang truly started as a director from scratch. At that time, no one believed in them. Meng Tang was the director, and Li Su was the female lead. The two of them struggled and persevered all the way.

She finally gained a foothold in the entertainment industry with her well-received works and made money, becoming quite wealthy.

Because they had endured hardship along the way, Meng Tang considered her work extremely important.

Their series is now nearing its end, and if the cassette tapes are also buried in the landslide, all their hard work over this period will be wasted.

This was something Meng Tang, who always valued her work above all else, absolutely could not ignore.

So even though it was dangerous at that moment, Meng Tang rushed into the crumbling temple without hesitation to rescue the tapes.

When Meng Tang was in danger, Li Su was naturally willing to risk her life with her.

The two rushed into the collapsing temple one after the other, with Tong Tong shouting so hard her voice was hoarse.

"Sister Tang, Teacher Li, the temple is collapsing! You can't go in! Come out quickly!"

Tong Tong was so anxious that she wanted to rush in, but a staff member held her back.

Meng Tang dodged the rocks all the way and finally found the meditation room where the tapes were temporarily stored.

Amidst the constantly rolling rocks, Meng Tang quickly packed up the cassette tape.

Li Su caught up with her. She didn't say anything, and didn't even blame Meng Tang for risking her life to save the tape. Instead, she immediately followed her to pack it up.

After finally getting all the tapes packed, Li Su grabbed Meng Tang's hand.

"Tangtang, hurry, the meditation room is about to collapse."

Before the two could even reach the door, mud and rocks poured down, washing away the roof beams and causing it to collapse with a crash.

"Su Su, be careful!"

Li Su felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, followed by someone lunging at her.

With a deafening ringing in my ears, everything went black, and I briefly lost consciousness.

Li Su was choked awake by a cloud of dust. She vaguely regained consciousness, but when she tried to move, she found that it felt as if it weighed a ton and she was completely unable to move.

“Su…Su Su…”

A weak voice reached my ears.

Li Su struggled to lift her head and could barely see that Meng Tang had actually used his own body to support her above her!

After the collapse, a roof beam landed on Meng Tang, trapping both of them underneath and preventing them from escaping.

Li Su immediately burst into tears, "Tangtang, how are you? You idiot, how could you be so stupid! Why did you stand in front of me? I'm a black belt in Taekwondo, I should be the one protecting you!"

Meng Tang wanted to laugh, but only moved the corner of her lips, which brought a weak cough: "Cough cough... Su Su, it has always been you who protects me."

"I...I know you learned Taekwondo to protect me, but...but I don't want to be protected by you all the time. I...I want to be able to protect you too. This time...this time I can protect you, it's so good..."

Li Su was extremely anxious, but she dared not move, because above her was Meng Tang, and above Meng Tang was the roof beam.

She didn't know the extent of Meng Tang's injuries, and wondered if moving around would worsen them.

“I protect you willingly. When we were in the orphanage, I was thin, small and weak. You would hide food and secretly bring it to me to eat.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have starved to death long ago. From that moment on, I vowed that you would be the most important person in my life, and I would take care of you even if it cost me my life.”

Li Su rarely cries. Ever since she learned to use her fists to protect Meng Tang and herself, she has rarely shed tears.

Children who grow up in orphanages know very well that in this world, you can't rely on others; you can only rely on yourself.

Li Su's conviction was stronger than theirs; she not only wanted to support herself, but also to give Meng Tang a better life.

At this moment, hearing Meng Tang's increasingly weak voice, Li Su burst into tears.

"No, don't cry, Susu. What if I die here? Maybe then I can go back to the real world? That would be nice, wouldn't it..."

As she continued speaking, Meng Tang's voice grew softer and softer.

Li Su could only desperately call out to her, "Tangtang, Tangtang, don't sleep! Talk to me! Please, Tangtang, please don't sleep!"

"I...I'm so tired, SuSu, I'm really...so tired..."

Meng Tang felt her eyelids grow heavy and could no longer hold on, and her consciousness slowly sank in.

Li Su's voice was hoarse and broken from shouting, but she had no other choice and didn't even dare to move.

All he could do was beg Meng Tang not to sleep and to talk to her, over and over again.

But gradually, Meng Tang fell silent.

Overwhelmed by fear, Li Su, who had always been strong-willed, felt that nothing in this world, except Meng Tang, could defeat her.

Now, her most important best friend is on the verge of death, and she is powerless to help.

Just as Li Su was falling into despair, she suddenly heard shouts.

"Li Su! Su Su—"

"Meng Tang! Meng Tang, if you hear me, answer me! Tang Tang—"

Li Su recognized a familiar tone in those calls.

But she couldn't care less about that at the moment; she could tell that the sounds weren't far from her.

But her voice was so hoarse and broken that she could no longer make a sound. She opened her mouth to shout, but no sound came out.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the pebbles beside her. With difficulty, Li Su reached out and touched one of the pebbles.

He gripped it tightly in his hand, and then struck the stone beside him again and again, using all his strength.

Bang bang bang.

"Susu!"
