Li Yan was determined to spend a lifetime of effort to protect his little woman, to care for her meticulously, until the end of his life.
His heart was filled with resolve, holding Gu Tong tightly, unwilling to let go even a little.
The two of them held each other tightly, as if time had come to a complete stop in that moment.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Li Yan's breathing finally became less heavy, and he seemed to catch his breath, slowly saying, "I still forgot to ask you, how many brothers like Qiao Chenyi do you have?"
"Pfft..." Gu Tong maintained the awkward hugging position and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
She chuckled twice, reluctantly letting go of Li Yan's embrace, and said, "Back then there were a lot of people in the Academy Courtyard, I can't really remember."
"..." Can't remember...
Li Yan raised his eyebrows, with a noncommittal expression.
