"Useless!" Chen Ziming forcefully grabbed Ning Xiaofei's nape, casting a sidelong glance at the precariously dangling Mu Tianye, "He can't climb up. Look at his hands, look at his expression... Ha... He's a coward, he'll fall any moment now..."
"No, he won't!" Ning Xiaofei loudly interrupted Chen Ziming, "Tianye, stop thinking about the past. Look at me... Look at me..."
Mu Tianye lifted his face, his gaze meeting Ning Xiaofei's, her hair disheveled and held in Chen Ziming's grip, struggling desperately. Even though she was in danger, her eyes never left his direction.
Despite the dim night, he could still see the tears shimmering on her face.
No!
He wouldn't die!
He had to protect her!
Taking a deep breath, his almost powerless hands tightened around the railing, his arms tensing as he slowly pulled himself upward...
Finally, one of his arms hooked onto the walkway!
Ning Xiaofei's face lit up with joy, "That's it, keep going... Tianye, you can do it..."
