Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Duan Yanhao thought that her tears were so heavy to him, weighing down so much that he couldn’t even breathe.

His hands trembled as he held Bai Yaoyao. He wanted to pry her away from his arms and wipe her tears away, but she hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.

Bai Yaoyao cried quietly for a long time. When she finally calmed herself down, she hurriedly wiped her tears away, reluctant to let Duan Yanhao see.

Bai Yaoyao let go of Duan Yanhao and blinked her reddened and swollen eyes. She asked, “Yanhao, where are we? I only remember falling off the cliff and nothing else. Also, why are you here? Where are we?”

Duan Yanhao lowered his head and kissed Bai Yaoyao’s eyes gently, cleaning away the traces of her tears.

Every single action of his made it apparent that she was the most precious person to him.

Duan Yanhao held Bai Yaoyao’s head tenderly and kissed her forehead and hair. His face showed how anxious he was after thinking that he had lost her.

Looking at the curiosity on Bai Yaoyao’s face, Duan Yanhao began to explain. “I jumped down here after being ambushed. I’m the commander of the northern troops, and I’d rather die than end up in the hands of my enemies. I escaped to the mountain peak and realized that the river flowed below. Now that it’s spring, the water probably wouldn’t be cold. If I jumped, I would still have a chance of surviving. If I end up in my enemies’ hands, I will become their prisoner. I didn’t want to die nor become a slave or hostage, so I jumped. Our enemies wanted to make sure I died and continued searching below. Fortunately, there’s a cave, and I hid here temporarily. After hiding in here for a day, I thought of leaving and contacting my troops. Little did I expect to see you here.”

Listening to Duan Yanhao’s recount, Bai Yaoyao finally understood that she had fallen into the river and was washed into the cave. No wonder she had heard the sounds of water flowing when she woke up.

He had then treated her injuries.

It was noon now, which meant that it had almost been a day since she arrived in the south.

“Yanhao, it’s great to be alive and see you. We must stay together.”

After saying that, Bai Yaoyao couldn’t help but cry again. Duan Yanhao wiped her tears away and comforted, “Yaoyao, don’t cry.”

Listening to him console her like a child, she playfully pushed his hand away and giggled. “You’re treating me like a three-year-old!”

She couldn’t imagine that a respected commander like him had such a childish side to him as well. She was more used to him being cool.

Both of them updated each other about what they had experienced so far. In the end, they embraced and rejoiced that they were still alive.

“Yanhao, you can’t frighten me like that anymore.”

“I won’t do it again.”

A thought seemed to pop into Bai Yaoyao’s head, and she pushed Duan Yanhao away before saying, “Something’s not right. You knew that a battle was happening since the end of last year. You made me leave on purpose, didn’t you?”

Looking at Bai Yaoyao’s solemn face, Duan Yanhao could only reply with his silence.

“Answer me!”

Duan Yanhao nodded.

Bai Yaoyao glared at him angrily and couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore. “You told me that you wouldn’t leave me, but you lied to me in the end and made me return to Country A.”
