“I don’t believe you.” It was still pitch black around them. “It’s too early for that.”

“It’s true,” Gu Jinzhi said firmly. “In half an hour, Huo Chen is going to find us.”

“Really?” Wen He asked almost hopefully.

“Since when have I ever lied to you?”

Gu Jinzhi coughed. He sounded gruff and sluggish, with an almost imperceptible hint of exhaustion.

Every word he spoke felt like a mountainous effort for him.

“Just hang in there for another half an hour, okay?”

“Okay.”

Wen He nodded.

They waited. The night dragged on. Eventually, even though they did not know exactly how much time had passed, it was obvious that they had waited for more than half an hour.

Through the haze in her mind, Wen He started to get impatient.

“Whatever, I am going to sleep now, let’s talk again when I wake up!”

“Wen He!”

Gu Jinzhi pinched her arm hard and sounded panicked like she had never heard before. It felt like he was begging her to stay awake.

“Just another half an hour, and help will arrive. Trust me!”

Wen He licked her parched lips. In the end, she gave in to his plea.

“Alright, just for another half an hour. I am really tired.”

She thought she would fall asleep just by closing her eyes.

“Alright.”

They exchanged nonsense and kept each other company while they waited again.

Gu Jinzhi noticed that Wen He sounded quieter and quieter. He considered for a long moment before saying, “The truth is, I really do have a secret that I never told you…”

Before Wen He could ask, he laughed and said tiredly, “When we are home, come and find me. I will tell you more then.”

“Okay…”

Wen He replied mechanically as she struggled to stay awake.

Gu Jinzhi knew that she was at her limits and tried desperately to think of ways to keep her conscious.

Suddenly, he heard the rustling sound of footsteps outside.

He smiled.

“Wen He.”

He pulled at her hand and called her gently with an air of great relief and exhaustion.

“Huo Chen is here.”

“Huh?”

Wen He jolted awake and listened hard. Indeed, she could hear footsteps approaching them!

She held onto Gu Jinzhi’s hand tight and cried energetically, “It’s true, I hear them, it must be Huo Chen and his men! Gu Jinzhi, we’re saved, we will live!”

“Yeah…”

Gu Jinzhi answered quietly and sounded extremely tired. There was no reason to pretend any longer.

“I’m going to take a break now while you wait, okay?”

“Okay, get some rest.”

Wen He had just finished talking when she realized abruptly that Gu Jinzhi had been very accommodating to her that day, which was highly uncharacteristic of the egoistic man.

Warmth and kindness did not feel like him at all. She pinched his hand and smiled gently.

“Gu Jinzhi, a b*stard like you will live forever.”

With him by her side, she no longer felt lonely nor afraid.

“…”

Gu Jinzhi’s eyes looked back at her with an unreadable expression.

For a moment, his eyes seemed like windows to an abyss full of mystery.

In the end, he responded by pinching Wen He’s finger.

“When we’re back, remember to visit my place,” he said. Then, he smiled and added, “Also… I hope you have a blissful life with Huo Chen.”

Wen He was puzzled. “Why are you talking like that? Get some sleep. By the time you wake up, we’ll be ready to go home.”
