"If you don't help me," He Jingyao sighed softly, "I might die."
Su Zixi's eyes widened in horror, "How... How is that possible... "
He Jingyao slightly furrowed his brows. "This is the first time I've encountered this situation. I don't know what the consequences might be."
With her lips tightly bitten, Su Zixi finally nodded, her cheeks flushed red. "Then... let's make it quick!"
Her expression was that of a resigned acceptance of fate.
He Jingyao couldn't help but laugh, his voice becoming huskier, "Zixi, I don't have much strength right now, so it's up to you."
Up to... her?
Su Zixi was too shocked to speak! It couldn't... it couldn't possibly mean what she thought it did, right?
But as she met his gaze, Su Zixi realized she hadn't misunderstood at all.
She wanted to cry without tears, "Is it... Is it really necessary?"
He Jingyao did not speak but just gazed deeply at her. The desire in his dark eyes flared like a raging fire, causing Su Zixi's ears to turn red.
