Shui Anluo shut her eyes, instinctively trying to escape danger by fooling herself.

The sound of the wind and raindrops on leaves attacked her senses. There was also a warm hug, firm arms and... A racing heartbeat!

Shui Anluo opened her eyes suddenly. She did not have time to feel surprised when she was pelted with an angry roar.

"Shui Anluo, do you find life to be so irritating that you've deliberately tried to dig your own grave? If you're so eager to die, tell me, I'll strangle you to death myself."

Chu Ningyi chided angrily though his voice trembled.

His entire body was covered with mud, like someone who had bathed in the landslide and someone who had run through a landslide on purpose.

Shui Anluo was shocked by his scolding and could only stare at him in a complete daze. Her surprise and happiness instantly disappeared into nothing until all that was left was innocence.

After Chu Ningyi finished scolding her, he immediately pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Instead of calling that a kiss, one might as well say that he had tore into her.

Only the heavens knew how many hundreds of possibilities had run through his mind as he was searching for her last night. Every single one was unacceptable to him.

For the first time, the situation had gone out of his control. For the first time, he had tasted fear.

So this was the definition of an accident.

So this was how horrifying an accident was.

Now, he understood that not everything in this world could be in his control.

She had said that he would never know the meaning of an accident.

However, he now knew that this accident had cracked his state of mind.

If this does not count as his love for her, he does not know what the definition of love was in this world.

Just one night had caused him to panic in a way that he had never known.

Shui Anluo's body ached from his hug. The wounds on her body seared with a fiery agony from being struck by all sorts of rocks. The corners of her lips were searing with agony too as he had bitten her.

However, she did not dare to make a single move. Instead, she let him hold and bite her.

"I..." Shui Anluo wanted to speak, she could sense his tension.

Could this be considered as his response to her?

All her fears vanished at that very moment, his appearance had set her mind at ease.

Chu Ningyi steadied his fears with great difficulty. He gently pushed her away and stared at the dirty little face of the large-eyed, innocent-looking girl. Once his fiery anger dissipated, all that was left was the indulgence he felt for her.

Gently, yet severely, Chu Ningyi's large hand rubbed her dirty little face. Her features were buried underneath the dirt. His face was as gloomy as ever as he asked, "Do you really think that you're Supergirl? 'Realizing the value of human life', why don't you go to heaven?"

Shui Anluo curled her lips and softly muttered, "I'm shoulder to shoulder with the sun too."

"What did you say?" Chu Ningyi's frown deepened. His voice was colder than ever.

Shui Anluo looked up and immediately shook her head like a good student. She did not say anything.

She had annoyed Chu Ningyi again but when he saw the pitiful look on her face, he was at a loss over how to show his anger. He merely spun her around and showed her the large tree from before.

Shui Anluo looked up and trembled. All she could see was the viper now pinned to the tree with a seven-inch dagger. Its long, slender body drooped onto the ground.

Shui Anluo instinctively hid behind Chu Ningyi.

Chu Ningyi grabbed her wrist and refused to let her hide. He asked in a cold voice, "Didn't you say that you wanted to realize the value of human life and walk to the pinnacle of humanity?"

'How petty, does he enjoy repeating himself over and over again?' Shui Anluo looked down and thought angrily, likely due to the fact that her fear was now completely gone.
