The traffic light turned green and Chu Ningyi drove on.

 The sound of the wind whistled through the half-open window. Shui Anluo lowered her head and linked her fingers firmly together. The color has drained from her slightly drooped head.

 He had said, ‘Shui Anluo, you owe me an explanation.’

 Shui Anluo knew that no matter what she did, she could not hide anything from him. However, she never expected him to figure it out so quickly.

 The atmosphere in the car grew even more nerve-racking until Shui Anluo felt suffocated.

 Shui Anluo looked up and saw his stalwart face. There were many occasions when she had wanted to speak up but she was unable to do so.

 Chu Ningyi drove the car to the Bund¹but he did not go home.

 Shui Anluo watched as Chu Ningyi opened the car door and got out of the car. He then walked to the beach without another look back.

 Her fingers dug into her palms again and the pain of it was piercing.

 A short while later, Shui Anluo reached out and opened the car door. She then slowly made her way to the tall and straight figure.

 Once, she had done her best to get closer to him.

 However, after she had got close to him after great difficulty, she had personally pushed herself away from him.

 How should she explain it? She had made the first move to get rid of someone who had wanted to kill her because she wants to survive?

 How was that any different from a murderer?

 With heavy steps, Shui Anluo drew closer to Chu Ningyi and spoke in a hoarse voice, “I…”

 “Shui Anluo, who am I to you?” Chu Ningyi suddenly spoke up. Shui Anluo then felt a nibbling pain on her shoulder.

 This was the feeling from his steel-like hand holding on to her tightly.

 Chu Ningyi’s eyes were bloodshot and his entire being was surrounded by a fiery rage. However, she did not know if she was the source of this rage or because of her mistrust.

 Shui Anluo did not dare to look up. She did not dare look into his scarlet eyes.

 “I want to live, I just want to live.” Shui Anluo seemed to be forced into desperation and cried out.

 Shui Anluo’s screams gradually dispersed along with the crashing waves.

 Chu Ningyi’s body stiffened and the force in his hand relaxed.

 Without his support, Shui Anluo immediately stumbled onto the ground. Her pale face was now streaked with tears. “Chu Ningyi, I don’t want to die a second time. I’m terrified. Do you have any idea how much pain I felt when I’d fallen then? Do you have any idea how long that feeling of being so close to death in the next second has persisted? Do you have any idea how scared I was before I had lost consciousness at the shore?” Shui Anluo screamed forcefully.

 Chu Ningyi had previously asked her if she was still afraid.

 She was, how could she not be?

 Chu Ningyi shivered as he looked down at the woman on the ground.

 “Do you have any idea of what was going through my mind when I was in pain and so terrified? I wanted to live, I just wanted to live. Is that so wrong?” Shui Anluo cried out.

 “So you had made that call on purpose. You alerted that person on purpose.”

 “Yes, I had done it on purpose,” said Shui Anluo as she stumbled back onto her feet. She still needed the support of Chu Ningyi’s arm to stand up. “Because I want to find out how many people really want me dead. Because I wanted to know if Lin Qianchen was one of them,” Shui Anluo explained in a hoarse voice. “I gave her a chance and asked if she was the one behind it but she chose to cover for that person. She herself did not show remorse so she deserves to die. Because if she doesn’t die, I would.”

 Shui Anluo tapped her forehead on Chu Ningyi’s arm. Her chuckles also carried ice-cold tear stains.

 “Chu Ningyi, I want to live, I don’t want to almost die again.” Shui Anluo pressed against his arm as she spoke desolately.

 It was not that she did not want to save Lin Qianchen, it was Lin Qianchen who had refused to grant her a way out time and time again.

 Her desolate voice dispersed into the air. Chu Ningyi only stood rigidly the entire time and did not reply.

 She believes that he must be disgusted with her after seeing her treacherous and murderous side.
