"Sleep, I'm tired." Jiang Yao leaned into his arms. "Anyway, your injuries won't heal so quickly. You still have a long time to think about it."

Jiang Yao remained silent after she finished speaking. She did not say anything else to Lu Xingzhi.

She did not tell him everything she said about what she would do if something terrible happened to him was a lie. If he died, she would not marry someone else because she did not believe she had the courage to live in that world alone.

She would follow him if he died because she could not imagine how difficult it would be for her to live in a world without him.

She loved him. She had suffered the pain of losing him once. It was heart-wrenching.

She lacked the strength to go through it again.
