Shi Zhiyan's words left Shi Li speechless.
After all, if their roles were reversed and she was the one with the power, she would probably think Shi Zhiyan wasn't strong enough and feel compelled to do everything she could to protect him.
It was exactly what she was trying to do right now.
"But you still can't do this. You're restricting my freedom," Shi Li refused to back down.
'This is imprisonment. Locking me up like this... what's the difference between this and keeping a pet?'
She was a living, breathing person.
An extra pair of hands could make all the difference.
"Once this is all over, I'll let you out, of course," Shi Zhiyan said, gently pressing his forehead against Shi Li's.
This whole ordeal had left him in a cold sweat.
That scene would likely haunt his nightmares for years to come.
He couldn't bear to see it happen again.
"But when will it be over? Can it even be over?"
"They're after me. I just ran into Belon—I don't know if you know him."
