The moment the helicopter landed, it exploded.
The massive shockwave struck the trees, simultaneously propelling the three people running deeper into the forest uncontrollably.
Flames roared into the sky.
A choking gray smoke hovered in the air.
"Ah-Shi, are you hurt anywhere?" Wen Renche's first action upon getting up was picking up the girl who had fallen to the side.
His trembling fingertips brushed away the few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, his eyes slightly reddened.
"I'm fine." Yu Zhi shook her head.
She raised her right hand, removed his broken gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled lightly at him, "Ah-Che, you look better without glasses."
Wen Renche gently stroked her pale cheek, murmuring, "Then I won't wear them anymore."
His gaze was focused, and the deep emotions hidden behind his phoenix eyes, no longer shielded by the glasses, became unmistakable.
Yu Zhi smiled faintly but didn't respond.
