Ye Jian had always hoped to catch up with Xia Jinyuan's pace, to fight alongside him. Now that her wish had been realized, she applied her skills to walk with him through the battlefields, amidst the smoke and bullets, aspiring to become his strongest subordinate and protector.
Xia Jinyuan was especially pleased with her response, and during a retreat, he tightly grasped her hand, brought it to his lips for a kiss, and whispered with a low chuckle, "Let's both strive to avoid injuries and survive every battle."
The position they had reached today was the result of their joint efforts, and they would continue to strive together for the rest of their lives.
With flames soaring into the sky behind them, the pair had moved out of danger and quietly awaited the return of their comrades.
