The large disappointment and sadness surrounded Nan Zhi like a large web, so much that she could not breathe properly.

She clenched tightly onto the thing in her palms, looking down as her eyelashes fluttered crazily.

She bit her lip, her body curling up in helplessness.

She did not know when they could meet again. In her heart, all she felt was an unprecedented confusion and suffocation.

Suddenly, a hoa.r.s.e and aloof voice rang above her head. “What are you squatting here for?”

Nan Zhi trembled immediately.

At one point, she even thought something was wrong with her hearing, until the man kicked her with his leather shoe.

The slight pain made Nan Zhi regain her senses.

She slowly looked up. The first thing that she saw was the man’s straight military pants. Her eyes moved up his pair of long legs, stopping to see the weapon belt around his waist. A few seconds later, her eyes landed on his face.

The well-defined face was blinded slightly by the light, so she could not see his facial features properly, only thinking that he looked exceptionally cool and fierce.

The man’s aura also felt even stronger after wearing the military uniform. Just him looking at her was enough to make her feel like she could not breathe properly.

“Why are you still squatting on the floor? Get up!”

He reached his well-defined palm towards her.

Nan Zhi did not dare to be too close to him in public. She did not hold his hand, getting up by herself slowly.

She had squatted for too long, her calves slightly numbed already.

However, she held the discomfort down, not showing any of it on her face.

The man’s black eyes landed on her, as he pursed his thin lips tightly. He spoke coldly, “Where did you go last night?”

Nan Zhi’s tensed heartstrings immediately broke when she heard his familiar tone. Her eyes welled up in tears, stretching out her hand towards him.

She slowly opened her hands.

An amulet that ensured safety was lying on her palm.

Mu Sihan felt his temple twitching when he saw the thing in her hand. The vein on his forehead popped out, as the anger within him started to swell again.

What was this?

She ran out silently at night just to go pray for this?

Nan Zhi hurriedly explained when she noticed the man’s expression darken, “I heard that the Master Guang Dao from the Jaded Buddha Temple has practiced for many years and has a very strong ability in his blessings as every protection amulet was very effective and can protect one’s safety. I…”

Before she could finish, the man interrupted coldly, “Master Guang Dao doesn’t give his blessings easily to others. What were you doing, going in the middle of the night?”

Nan Zhi bit her lips. “I didn’t do anything, I merely knelt for a few hours. The Master saw my sincerity and agreed to my request.”

Mu Sihan’s straight eyebrows were furrowed tightly together, as his eyes glanced at her knees. “You… Life and death are fated. Do you think that this thing can protect my life?”

Nan Zhi’s face paled from his scoldings.

She bit her lip tightly, holding onto his hand as she placed the protection amulet in his palm. “I’d rather believe in something than have nothing to believe in. I believe that it can protect your safety.”

She wanted to retract her hand, only to be held tighter by him.

Before she could react, he tugged and pulled her into his muscular and firm chest.

The texture of his military uniform was slightly hard as she b.u.mped into him and hurt her nose unconsciously.
