After half an hour, Shi Yu finally calmed down.
Standing with Qin Jin by the floor-to-ceiling window, they maintained silence for a long time.
After a while, Qin Jin was the first to speak and broke the silence: "What is your plan?"
"Exchange my life for hers."
Shi Yu looked into the distance, his words firm like they were carved with a knife, deeply engraved in one's heart.
Unable to sleep all night, Shi Yu stood by the window the entire evening.
On the ground, cigarette butts were scattered everywhere.
The vast room was filled with a strong and pungent smell of smoke.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Glancing at the unknown caller on the screen, he pinched out the cigarette butt with his fingertips and answered the call.
His voice was somewhat deep and hoarse: "Hello."
"Have you decided? Whether to accept this deal, who lives and who dies."
