Crimson Instinct

[COMPLETED] It's a race against time. But the challenge gets even harder as there is a certain difficulty that they both have to overcome. With Bai Li facing his own inner demons, will their quest for truth spiral out of control? Will he get his honour back? Who is the enemy hiding in the shadows that Xin Lei and Bai Li would have to fight? Along this journey to find their answers, will it also spark the flames of love between them? *** Amidst the booming crack of ear-piercing gunshots, Xin Lei bumped into the ex-army officer, Major Bai Li, who recently got a dishonorable discharge. He was the only hope for her who could help her in digging the truth behind not only that syndicate chasing after her life but also to find about her father and brother who have mysteriously disappeared. Together, they set out to search for the truth, but it shapes into something much darker and sinister as they learn about the case Xin Lei's father was working on - to prove a father innocent of his little daughter's disappearance, plunging them into one of the dangerous worlds, hidden from everybody. --- Scene Excerpt --- My foot was stuck in the pit and I pushed Bai Li away from me who was trying to get me out. There was no time. The sounds of sirens were growing closer and closer. How can I let the police catch him? But my strength wasn't enough. I tugged his shirt. I begged him. 'Please go.' Bai Li grabbed my arms. "Don't push me away, Xin Lei. Soldiers never leave anyone behind. It's either we are caught together or we escape together." Before I knew it, his lips were on mine. "Whatever it is, sticking together is the only option I give you." #WSA2020.

Time ticking away (4)

A few minutes earlier before the blast.

*Bai Li*

When I sensed the wall's slab falling on Xin Lei and me, I knew we didn't have time. Only one of us had the time to slide ahead.

I smiled.

Of course, it had to be Xin Lei. 

So I pushed her away because I knew if I had said anything to her, then she would have stuck to me like fevicol. She wouldn't have left my side.

The slab collapsed. Even if I didn't hear Xin Lei's voice, I knew she was angry at me. She must be furious and crying hard. She must be searching for her phone. She must have wanted to knock some sense into me.

She must have wanted to come back.

So, I told Zhu Yusheng to take her away. There was no time to waste.

She must be resisting hard.

But I am sorry, Xin Lei. I cannot let you get trapped in here.

I promise I will come back to you. But in that infinitesimal chance that I couldn't, I pushed you away because I wanted you safe.
