“I don’t believe you . ” It was still pitch black around them . “It’s too early for that . ”
“It’s true,” Gu Jinzhi said firmly . “In half an hour, Huo Chen is going to find us . ”
“Really?” Wen He asked almost hopefully .
“Since when have I ever lied to you?”
Gu Jinzhi coughed . He sounded gruff and sluggish, with an almost imperceptible hint of exhaustion .
Every word he spoke felt like a mountainous effort for him .
“Just hang in there for another half an hour, okay?”
“Okay . ”
Wen He nodded .
They waited . The night dragged on . Eventually, even though they did not know exactly how much time had passed, it was obvious that they had waited for more than half an hour .
Through the haze in her mind, Wen He started to get impatient .
“Whatever, I am going to sleep now, let’s talk again when I wake up!”
“Wen He!”
Gu Jinzhi pinched her arm hard and sounded panicked like she had never heard before . It felt like he was begging her to stay awake .
“Just another half an hour, and help will arrive . Trust me!”
Wen He licked her parched lips . In the end, she gave in to his plea .
“Alright, just for another half an hour . I am really tired . ”
She thought she would fall asleep just by closing her eyes .
“Alright . ”
They exchanged nonsense and kept each other company while they waited again .

Gu Jinzhi noticed that Wen He sounded quieter and quieter . He considered for a long moment before saying, “The truth is, I really do have a secret that I never told you…”
Before Wen He could ask, he laughed and said tiredly, “When we are home, come and find me . I will tell you more then . ”
“Okay…”
Wen He replied mechanically as she struggled to stay awake .
Gu Jinzhi knew that she was at her limits and tried desperately to think of ways to keep her conscious .
Suddenly, he heard the rustling sound of footsteps outside .
He smiled .
“Wen He . ”
He pulled at her hand and called her gently with an air of great relief and exhaustion .
“Huo Chen is here . ”

“Huh?”
Wen He jolted awake and listened hard . Indeed, she could hear footsteps approaching them!
She held onto Gu Jinzhi’s hand tight and cried energetically, “It’s true, I hear them, it must be Huo Chen and his men! Gu Jinzhi, we’re saved, we will live!”
“Yeah…”
Gu Jinzhi answered quietly and sounded extremely tired . There was no reason to pretend any longer .
“I’m going to take a break now while you wait, okay?”
“Okay, get some rest . ”
Wen He had just finished talking when she realized abruptly that Gu Jinzhi had been very accommodating to her that day, which was highly uncharacteristic of the egoistic man .
Warmth and kindness did not feel like him at all . She pinched his hand and smiled gently .
“Gu Jinzhi, a b*stard like you will live forever . ”

With him by her side, she no longer felt lonely nor afraid .
Gu Jinzhi’s eyes looked back at her with an unreadable expression .
For a moment, his eyes seemed like windows to an abyss full of mystery .
In the end, he responded by pinching Wen He’s finger .
“When we’re back, remember to visit my place,” he said . Then, he smiled and added, “Also… I hope you have a blissful life with Huo Chen . ”
Wen He was puzzled . “Why are you talking like that? Get some sleep . By the time you wake up, we’ll be ready to go home . ”
