“If you can dismantle a bomb here alone, why can’t I come? In the past, you faced everything alone. But it’s different now. I don’t want you to be strong alone.”
Zhou Xuan’s affectionate eyes stared into Shan Yue’s. “I’ve said it before. No matter what happens in the future, I’ll be by your side. Of course, even in this situation, it’s still no exception.”
Shan Yue was still confirming the answer in her heart. “Is it really worth it to do this for me?”
“You’re worth it.”
Zhou Xuan did not say much. Just three simple words were enough to summarize all his thoughts.
“Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. No matter what choice you make, no matter the outcome, I will support you without hesitation.” As Zhou Xuan spoke, he found the screwdriver and scissors from the toolbox in his hand and handed them to Shan Yue. Then, he silently squatted beside her and became her companion.
At the last minute, everyone in the Federation’s central city had their hearts in their throats. Everyone was staring intently at the television screen, nervously watching what was about to happen.
The cordon outside the airport was pushed back a lot, afraid that an unknown range of explosion would affect innocent people.
Although these people were not present, they could already feel the pressure Shan Yue and Zhou Xuan were facing just by watching the live-stream. All these people could do was silently give their strength to Shan Yue in their hearts.
Whether it was a loud bang, sparks that filled the sky, or if everyone was safe and sound and resolved the crisis, all of this was in Shan Yue’s hands.
“Of these five threads, only one will keep the two of us alive. The remaining four will send us to another world.”
Zhou Xuan could be by Shan Yue’s side at this moment, so he no longer had any regrets. “Choose. Whether it’s right or wrong, life or death.”
Shan Yue looked up at Zhou Xuan. “Will you regret your choice now…”
“I won’t.”
Before Shan Yue could finish asking, Zhou Xuan answered first.
There were only ten seconds left. At this moment, Zhou Xuan had already closed his eyes, waiting for the last moment. The needle of the timer tied to the bomb turned. At this moment, it was as if it had been amplified a hundred or a thousand times. The ticking sound kept echoing in people’s ears.
“Shan Yue, can 1 hug you at this time?”
Zhou Xuan’s fingers began to tremble slightly. In the face of true death, no one would not be afraid.
Shan Yue’s lips curled into a perfect smile. Actually, she had been waiting for this question for a long time. “Of course you can. As long as you want.”
Zhou Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the remaining five seconds on the timer. He grabbed Shan Yue’s other hand and hugged her tightly.
Shan Yue could clearly feel the strength in Zhou Xuan’s arms. It was even more obvious that his heartbeat and breathing were getting faster and faster. It was mixed with the nervousness of facing death and the happiness of hugging his lover.
Four seconds… three seconds…
“Shan Yue, 1 love you!”
Although Zhou Xuan did not know what his ending would be, he knew that if he did not say this now, he would probably not have a chance in the future.
Hence, there was no longer any hesitation in his heart. He shouted these five words. Although the people outside the airport could not hear him, they clearly echoed in the hall.
Most importantly, this sentence shouted into Shan Yue’s heart.
In the last two seconds, Shan Yue exerted strength and cut the thread that she had long been eyeing.
As soon as the thread broke, the number on the timer stopped and froze at the number “one.”
Zhou Xuan closed his eyes tightly and hugged Shan Yue, waiting for the explosion to descend. However, there was no reaction after three seconds.
His tightly shut eyes slowly opened. He realized that the number on the timer was no longer jumping. Shan Yue was looking at him with a sweet smile.
Zhou Xuan understood that Shan Yue had made the right bet with the one in five chance.
Excitement surged in his heart. After this matter, Zhou Xuan could be considered to have lived and died with Shan Yue. More importantly, Shan Yue had completely accepted him..
