"One can recall even forgotten memories. Although... Jin forgot me, he's recalling our past little by little... Gu Lichen, I... I'm losing my grip. Hurry... Hurry..."
Ling Yiran's voice became more and more strained. Seeing that Gu Lichen had no intention of grabbing her wrist, she glanced at Lil Ci out of the corners of her eyes. He was still unconscious. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her other hand, holding Gu Lichen's hand with both hands!
However, this pushed her body further toward the sunken ground. If there was another explosion, she would fall as well.
Gu Lichen watched what Ling Yiran was doing in shock. "Do you know what you’re doing?"
"Yes," she said as a thick layer of sweat covered her forehead. "Gu Lichen, you saved me before. I have no reason not to save you... If... If I let go now, I... I can never forgive myself..."
Sweat trickled down her cheeks and onto his face.
It was just like... how she had pulled his hand back then. Even though it was difficult, she insisted on pulling him up.
She had not changed after all these years!
When Yi Jinli rushed up the hill with his men, he saw Ling Yiran desperately gripping Gu Lichen's hand with half of her body tilting toward the chasm. She might fall at any time.
He instantly felt a pain in his chest.
However, without much thought, he rushed forward. He tightly wrapped one arm around Ling Yiran's waist while he used the other to grab Gu Lichen’s wrist.
"Jin!" exclaimed Ling Yiran, her voice full of joy and relief.
