In fact, Pello was wrong; Su Ziceng's life had always been in her own hands.
Human reactions can't outpace bullets; any normal person knows this.
But neither Pello nor Su Ziceng chose to give up.
Pello's first reaction was to desperately evade; as the gunshot rang out, before Pello even had a chance to respond, his vision darkened.
Su Ziceng forcefully climbed onto Pello's shoulders, her first thought being that Yu Hua's God Stick was, after all, not accurate—she was only twenty-one and about to die. Then she thought if Su Qingzhang really did kill Ye Taina, then taking this bullet for Pello might clear everything, allowing her to love this man without any worries from now on. This thought somewhat uplifted her spirits.
It turns out she could be fearless in the face of death and still love this man. But toward Hang Yishao, she would rather choose suicide than to love him again. The same death, yet a completely different heart.
