What do we do now?”
“We shouldn’t stay here for too long.
We’ve been exposed.
Going down to search would take too much time, and we’d probably only find bodies anyway.
Let’s pull out.”
At the bottom of the cliff.
Tangyu blinked, using the extremely faint moonlight to look around, and a brilliant smile spread across his face, “I’m not dead, I’m still not dead.
Master did not deceive me, I really am blessed with great fortune.
I mean, with my good looks and charm, my talent and wisdom all embodied in one, how could a great guy like me just die off so easily—It’s simply unreasonable.
To survive such a high fall, even death would be a stroke of luck.
Luckily I landed on a tree which broke my fall, plus having a cushion underneath.
This guy, he must be crushed to death, right?” Tangyu reached out to check and, indeed, the assassin he had landed on was dead, which made him sigh with relief.
“Stop being narcissistic and get me off you,” Huangfu Jing’s voice suddenly came from above.
Only then did Tangyu remember there was another person—Huangfu Jing—on top of him.
No wonder he had been feeling something soft and comfortable pressing down on him, almost weightless.
The softness in particular sparked his imagination.
“It’s great that you’re okay.
I can’t get up because you’re on top of me.
Stand up quickly.
Those assassins might come down after us, we probably can’t stay here for long,” Tangyu said.
“I’m injured.
If I could get up, I wouldn’t be asking you.
Ah—stop moving, it hurts,” Huangfu Jing said.
“Ah, you’re hurt?
Where are you hurt?” Tangyu was momentarily startled, but after feeling around, he realized that he was mostly fine; he could move his arms and legs, and there was no pain anywhere, so he should be unscathed.
Huangfu Jing said, “My leg is hurt, it seems it was cut by a branch, and my ankle is sprained, too.
Ah, I told you not to move, it really hurts.”
“If I don’t move, how am I going to get you off me?
You’re lying on my back; I can’t even stand up unless I move you first.
Just bear with it for a moment, try to shift off me.
I can’t reach back with my hands to help,” Tangyu responded.
Huangfu Jing gritted her teeth and tried, but failed, “It’s no use; my hands are good, but both my feet are hurt.
I don’t have the strength to move at all.
It’s very painful the moment I try, you have to think of something.”
“Uh—I can’t.
With you pressing down on me like this, I can’t use my strength.
What can I do?
You cry out in pain whenever I make a move.
Now I’m afraid to move,” Tangyu replied.
“What do we do then?”
“What else can we do?
Chill and wait it out, just stay like this for now, and call for reinforcements.
At least this assassin’s gun is still here.
With a gun in hand, I’m not afraid.
If those assassins dare to come, I’ll definitely take them down—they almost killed us just now.
Huangfu Jing, take out your phone and call Qing Ge to pick us up,” Tangyu said.
Although there was nothing he could do, he actually felt quite comfortable being pressed down by a beautiful woman.
If possible, he wouldn’t mind staying like this for half a day.
“My phone is in the car; I didn’t bring it,” Huangfu Jing said.
“Never mind, use mine.
My phone is in the right pocket; can you take it out for me?” Tangyu said.
“You take it out,” Huangfu Jing replied.
Tangyu said, “My right hand is still being pinned down by that assassin.
I’m afraid if I move, you’ll be in pain again.
It’s so tightly pressed, I can hardly pull it out.”
“Fine then,” Huangfu Jing finally agreed.
Tangyu soon felt Huangfu Jing’s hand fumbling over his body.
Since it was so dark that they could hardly see anything, they had no choice but to grope about slowly.
Being touched by such a delicate hand from below sent electric currents rushing up to his heart, giving him a tingling sensation.
The feeling was delightful, making his emotions surge uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Tangyu’s inexperienced junior below was eagerly rising, as if it wanted to plunge into action.
Huangfu Jing’s hand accidentally touched that area, and Tangyu almost moaned with pleasure.
Huangfu Jing tensed instantly and pulled her hand back as if she had received an electric shock.
Both fell silent for a while, neither knowing how much time had passed.
The flicker of desire that had been stirred in Tangyu was extinguished as he broke the silence, “That was just a little accident.
We can’t keep staying like this.
What are we going to do, just wait until Qing Ge notices something’s wrong and sends someone to slowly search for us?”
Huangfu Jing continued to search without finishing her sentence; however, this time she avoided the previous mistakes.
After a bit of fumbling, she found the pocket and quickly took out the phone.
But soon afterward, Huangfu Jing’s annoyed voice came, “Your phone is out of battery.”
“Ah, can’t be.
We can’t be that unlucky, can we?
How can my phone be out of battery,” Tangyu expressed his frustration, yet a secretly thrilled feeling washed over him.
Could this be fate, the destiny that heaven had arranged?
What a pity, though—they may be alone together, but it was hardly the right situation.
Plus, there was a dead person underneath, ruining any mood.
Now Tangyu just hoped someone would find them soon so he could get Huangfu Jing back to the hotel.
The excitement earlier had already been enough.
“Let’s just wait then.
I’m sure Qing Ge must have sent people to follow us.
Once they notice something’s off, they’ll report back to him, and in a little while, Qing Ge should be able to find us,” Huangfu Jing said.
“Then that’s what we’ll have to do.
You keep lying on me like this; I can handle it,” Tangyu said.
Huangfu Jing fell silent, and that silence somehow became terrifying.
“Huangfu Jing, do you think we are fated?
To put it in one sentence, it’s as if heaven has decreed our destiny.” Tangyu said.
Huangfu Jing remained silent for a short while before speaking, “Why would you say that?”
“Just think about it, I thought we were goners today.
I was even wondering, if we had died jumping off the cliff, whether the news would report something like this: ‘Celebrity Huangfu Jing and boyfriend tragically fall to their deaths during a nighttime mountaintop tryst, alongside a third party’?” Tangyu said.
“…”
“Haha, we didn’t die; we’re alive and well, while the assassin was crushed to death by us.
Don’t you think this could be considered fate?
It’s like even heaven thought we shouldn’t die, so here we are, still breathing.” Tangyu said.
“…Maybe, fate.” Huangfu Jing said.
Is this what fate is?
A smile crossed Huangfu Jing’s mind.
Thinking about it, it indeed seemed like they were blessed with great fortune, extremely lucky.
To survive a fall from such a high cliff was truly a narrow escape, akin to a television drama; it felt as if it was somehow destined by heaven.
“Tangyu, thank you; you’ve saved my life again.” Huangfu Jing said.
“Why thank me?
Those people might not necessarily have been after you; they could have been after me.
Maybe it was I who brought you into this.” Tangyu said.
Huangfu Jing shook her head, “No, those people are foreign assassins, and they were targeting me.
You should remember that you saved me once before, and those people are likely from the same group.
I’ve been marked by an international assassin organization for a long time.
They’ve always wanted to capture me, not necessarily to kill me.
If they really wanted me dead, I would have probably lost my life a long time ago.
This assassin organization is extremely powerful and terrifying; practically no one they target survives.”
Tangyu frowned, “That serious?
Then aren’t you always in danger?”
“You could say that; that’s why you’ve seen Qing Ge protecting me closely, and why there are always many people following me whenever I go out.
I’ve grown accustomed to this kind of life.
That’s why I said I don’t remember the last time I took a walk on the streets or climbed a mountain.
For me, such a life is a luxury.
There’s no helping it; Capital City’s waters are no less treacherous than Donglin City, perhaps even more so.
The struggle for power in Capital City is frightening, with turbulent undercurrents.
They are games played by powerful figures; we’re just little prey.
I never liked staying in Capital City, but I have to be there; I’m safest there.” Huangfu Jing said with some sadness.
Tangyu also felt some empathy, “You’re a big star, and your family is prominent; indeed, you’re in a very precarious position.”
“Tangyu, why did you jump without hesitation just now?
Weren’t you afraid of dying?” Huangfu Jing suddenly asked.
“Afraid but not afraid, I guess.
I definitely don’t want to die, very much so.
But sometimes, you don’t have a choice; even if death is certain, there’s still no choice.
Without a choice, it doesn’t matter whether you’re scared or not because you have to do what you have to do regardless.
It’s a kind of responsibility, a man’s responsibility.
If we hadn’t jumped just now, I’m certain those assassins would have shot at us without any hesitation.
Moreover, I didn’t know if they wanted to capture or kill you, so the only option was to jump with you, ensuring at least that they wouldn’t kill us.
Being killed by them means certain death.
By jumping, I thought perhaps there would be a slim chance of survival; after all, miracles do exist in this world.
Besides, I didn’t know how deep the cliff was at that time, so the best option seemed to be to jump.
It was only after jumping that I realized how deep it actually was, and I thought we were surely dead.” Tangyu said.
Huangfu Jing’s heart stirred, and a strange light flickered in her eyes; she felt deeply touched.
Indeed, since she was young, few things moved her.
Even when Tangyu saved her last time, she wasn’t that touched, but this time, she truly was, right to the core.
She even thought that if Tangyu were to confess to her at that moment, she might be unable to refuse.
Of course, Tangyu would definitely not confess to her.
“Are you this good to every girl?
Would you risk your life to protect them when they’re in danger?” Huangfu Jing asked again.
Tangyu thought for a moment, “That depends on who it is.
It’s not possible to be this way for every woman; I’m not that noble.
I’m just an ordinary person, not a superhero.”
“Then what kind of person would you do this for?” Huangfu Jing asked.
“That—well, it’s hard to say; like you, for instance, Huangfu Jing.
Basically, for the women who are close to me and walk beside me, I would do this.” Tangyu said.
This answer from Tangyu obviously left Huangfu Jing feeling a slight sense of loss, but she also let it go with a laugh.
If Tangyu had said he only did it for her, she definitely couldn’t have believed it.
Men who were too smooth with words could never be good men.
But Tangyu, he had his honesty.
“Huangfu Jing, tell me about that international assassin organization you mentioned just now.” Tangyu suddenly said.
Huangfu Jing nodded and began, “The assassin organization is called Dark Soul…”
