"I'm not crazy . . . I mean every word I said . I thought that I'd die under your gun . . and maybe then, I'd be set free . But now . . . I'm probably even more of a piece of baggage to you . I'm not dead, but our relationship is . . . Rick, you don't owe me anything . I blame myself for being too stubborn, too caught up in us . . . maybe I forced someone into something he didn't want . If the experience of life or death can't even bring us back together, let's just leave it as is . Otherwise, we'll both be exhausted . . . " Xixi broke away from Rick's hand, her eyes dim .
"Xixi, don't think too much . Just rest and take good care of your body, okay?"
"You don't have to worry about me . I know you're very busy . . . so busy that you don't have the time to talk to me . " Maybe it was her young age; Xixi's words rung of childlike petulance .
"No, I'm not busy, nothing is as important as you . . . Xixi, I know you don't want me to go, so I won't go . . . I'll stay with you . "
"But if you don't leave, the New Year will pass . . . " Xixi turned away from Rick's eyes .
"Then I'll stay with you to celebrate the New Year . " Rick seemed to have made a decision .

"But only lovers spend the New Year together . We have nothing between us . . . "
"Then let's just start being lovers and spend the New Year together . " Rick was not good at sweet-talking girls; he was simply replying to Xixi . Everything, even jokes, came out serious from his mouth .
"But we are not lovers, we have broken up for more than three years . . . " Xixi pouted in a fit of pique .
"Then let's . . . fall in love again . . . "
"But I'm not that easy to court . . . you can't decide whether or not we're together . . . " Xixi stuck up her nose .
"It's all right . I'm patient . I'll keep courting . . . until you say yes . "
Hearing Rick's romantic words, Xixi felt a little excited . She suddenly flipped her body .

"Ah! It hurts . . . " Her large movements affected her gunshot wound .
"Xixi . . . slow down . . . " Rick's face immediately paled .
As he got up to call for a doctor, Xixi grabbed onto him with all of her might . "Rick, what you just said . . . does it all count?"
"Which sentence?" Rick replied with a sincere tone .
Xixi really wanted to kill him . . .
"You . . . " Xixi was furious .

Seeing that she was really angry, Rick immediately comforted," Yes, of course . Calm down . . . don't be angry, it'll make your wound worse . . . Xixi, I meant every word of what I've said . I'll get you back . . . okay?"
"Then . . . are you going to leave me this time around?" Xixi asked, worried .
"I won't . "
"No matter what happens, you won't leave me, right?" Xixi asked for confirmation .
"Yes . "
"Do you swear?"
"I swear… This time, no matter what happens, even if the sky falls down on us, I won't leave you . "
Under Xixi's relentless insistence, the iceberg known as Rick finally confessed his feelings .
Xixi couldn't believe how fast happiness had found her . If not for her gunshot wound, Rick probably wouldn't have been so honest .
"I'll remember all of this . If you break your promise . . . I will haunt you forever . . . "
"Of course . " Rick raised the corners of his mouth, his hands tightly gripping hers .
"But Xixi . . . I have to tell you what the nature of my job is . I am actually . . . "
"A black society godfather? I know all about it . " Xixi was very calm .
