Jin Xuyan went silent for a long time before he said, "Ah Zhi, no matter how important my friends are to me, you are the most important. I don't want you to put yourself in danger for them."
"Ah Zhi, I can live without them, but without you, I will die. So please don't do this to me anymore. My heart can't take it," he added softly.
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi was stunned and didn't know what to say. In the end, she only hugged him tighter and said nothing.
When he didn't get her answer, Jin Xuyan didn't care. For him, he would do anything to ensure that she stayed alive, safe, and sound. Even if he had to use his life in exchange for hers, he would do it without hesitation. So, whether she agreed or not was not a problem.
As they hugged, Jiao Lizhi felt sleepy. Being embraced by his warm body, she felt safe and slowly drifted into a deep slumber.
