If any step goes wrong, everything is over.

If Nangong Yi had not arrived in time to save her, then the shot Ruan Tianling fired would have hit her father.

If her father had not suddenly changed his mind, the stone would have struck her forehead.

No, not her forehead... it was Nangong Yi’s hand.

Nangong Yi didn’t have time to stop her father, so he quickly extended his hand...

Nangong Yi wasn’t very close to her, Jian Yufei really didn’t understand.

Why would he risk his life to save her?

Anyway, today’s events were all thanks to Nangong Yi.

Without him, she wouldn’t know how to face Ruan Tianling.

Fortunately, he saved them, and fortunately, he is still alive.

...

Jian Yufei thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Ruan Tianling, who was not far away.

Ruan Tianling stood there quietly, not disturbing her at all.

Meeting her gaze, Ruan Tianling hesitated for a moment and walked towards her.

He sat down beside her, "I just couldn’t stop worrying about you, that’s why I followed."

"I’m much better now." Jian Yufei said softly.

"Yufei..."

Ruan Tianling took her hand, gripping it tightly: "I’m sorry, in that moment I had no choice... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to shoot your father... I was just so scared of losing you."

"I know." Jian Yufei nodded in understanding.

Ruan Tianling feared she would have a psychological shadow, so he continued to explain.

"It’s not that I’m heartless towards your father, but compared to your safety, everything else became unimportant.

At that time, I was clear about what I was doing, I knew who I was aiming the gun at.

I also knew that shot would kill your father, it’s not that I didn’t hesitate, but I had no choice.

I’d rather you hate me, kill me, than watch you get hurt..."

"Yufei, can you forgive me? I know I’m at fault, you can hit me, scold me, even shoot me, I only hope you can forgive me."

Ruan Tianling’s eyes glimmered with uneasiness.

He was so afraid there would be a rift between them.

Afraid that they would drift further and further apart.

The path they had walked was so tough, to part because of this incident.

He would surely not be willing, and would never let go.

He knew his own temper, he couldn’t let go, so he would end up hurting Jian Yufei.

Hurting her, wasn’t that also hurting himself?

He was so afraid, afraid that the same thing that happened with the cruise explosion years ago would replay...

Ruan Tianling anxiously awaited Jian Yufei’s answer.

Jian Yufei held his hand in return, with a soft smile: "Silly, I don’t blame you. I know you meant well for me, besides, my dad is fine, I won’t blame you at all. I just couldn’t process everything at once, but now I’m much better."

Ruan Tianling was slightly emotional: "You really don’t blame me?"

"Mm." Jian Yufei nodded, resting her head on his shoulder voluntarily.

"You have no idea how grateful I am, thank goodness the bullet didn’t hit dad. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face you. What you’re afraid of, I’m even more afraid."

Ruan Tianling hugged her body tightly, as if he wished to merge her into his flesh and blood.

"Thank you, thank you for not blaming me."

Jian Yufei looked up with amusement: "Why would I blame you? Don’t blame yourself, I’m well aware of how dire the situation was."

"Still, thank you." Ruan Tianling said deeply.

"No, we should be thanking Nangong Yi."
