At the critical moment, Mai Qi rushed over to hug him. The bullet entered Mai Qi's right shoulder and exited her right chest.
Tong Le failed to reunite with Tong Zhou, and Mai Qi collapsed in his arms.
When Tong Le told me these things, my heart tightened, not for Mai Qi but Tong Le.
Mai Qi was doing this out of love. When I was told Mai Qi shielded Tong Le from a gunshot, I knew Mai Qi still cared about Tong Le. Love was not something reason could suppress.
My heart ached for Tong Le. When he said that he'd be free after Tong Zhuo killed him, I reached out to hug him. "Little uncle, you promised me that you wouldn't die. You can't die. If you do, I'll be a real orphan."
Some injuries could never be healed. No matter how hard one tried to cover it up, it was useless. There was a bloody hole in my little uncle and my heart. They were my parents, my little uncle's brothers, sisters, brother-in-law, and nephews.
