"Elder brother!"
Without waiting for Yu Wenqian to finish his words, Shang Ruyi had already urgently spoken.
However, at the very moment she spoke, Yu Wenqian also stopped abruptly. His words were cut off right at the last character, while Shang Ruyi's urgent whisper seemed to complete the sentence.
Shang Ruyi's heart instantly sank.
She felt as if she was walking step by step into a trap set by someone else.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but clench her fist. Yet, the burning pain all over her body made it impossible to concentrate. If earlier amidst the fire, she endured flames scorching her body and could tolerate the pain, the truly unbearable was just this moment—the flames were burning within her heart.
After a long silence, Shang Ruyi finally whispered, "Elder brother, I..."
Yu Wenqian, with a calm demeanor and only a faint smile in his bluish-gray eyes, looked at her.
