The surroundings quieted down.

When I heard the footsteps outside receding, I immediately ripped off the black strip of cloth from my eyes. It was no different from not pulling at it at all, because it was just as dark inside and I couldn't see anything.

Lou Shaotang was still holding onto me, but his grip was a bit lighter than before. Probably because the thugs were gone, he felt safe for the time being.

The container was instantly illuminated.

He quickly looked around and found that it was a container about forty feet wide. Other than Lou Shaotang and I, there was nothing else in it, not even anything that could help us escape.

But I don't have time to think about this right now, so I quickly went to check the wound on Lou Shaotang's back.

He was wearing a white sweater, and it was already soaked in blood. I could see that he had lost too much blood and his body was trembling from exhaustion. My heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

Clutching my mouth, I forcefully suppressed the tears that I was about to burst out, and shakily lifted his woolen sweater …

He sensed that Lou Shaotang wanted to stop him, but he was probably in so much pain that he didn't have the strength to speak or move anymore.

Although I had prepared myself mentally, when I saw with my own eyes this wound that was more than ten centimeters long and still dripping with blood, my heart stopped abruptly and my breathing stopped for a few seconds.

"Does it hurt?"

I asked him through my tears, feeling foolish after asking. How could I not feel pain from such a long wound?

"It doesn't hurt." Lou Shaotang answered without hesitation. Then, as if he was trying to divert my attention, he asked me: "Do you have hair cut into the head?"

I shook my head. My hair is rarely coiffed, and I hardly need a hairpin or hairpin.

Seeing Lou Shaotang frown slightly, as if he was thinking about something, I asked him: "Did you think of a way to leave?"

"If there's a hairpin, maybe it's okay. Now."

He paused, but I already knew what he meant.

Seeing me lower my head with a heart as if dead, Lou Shaotang laughed weakly, and said: "Actually, I secretly threw a business card before entering, they probably didn't see it, I just don't know if Qin Lang could have noticed."

"Really?" I was excited again, I hope that the light will light up again, I hope that Qin Lang is smart enough to see this business card to save us.

"Yes." Seeing that I was smiling, Lou Shaotang's pale lips curled up and his eyes revealed a smile.

But the excitement didn't last for a few seconds, and I immediately became worried again. Because at this time, Lou Shaotang's face was covered in cold sweat, without a single trace of blood color, and his body was trembling even more intensely than before.

Seeing that I had put the lighter to the side and was about to take off my sweater, Lou Shaotang immediately realised that I was going to use his clothes to bandage his wounds and stop the bleeding. His face darkened as he said in a strong voice, "Put it on!"

"Who's afraid of your cold?!" He said in a hollow voice, "I just don't want my woman to be seen by others when they save her!"

"…"

I never expected that he would think of it like that, and looked at him speechlessly, laughing: "Lou Shaotang, at what time is it, are you still thinking about whether I would be exposed?!" Then he suddenly thought of something, "Oh right, I'm not your woman!"

"You are." His voice grew weaker and weaker, but it was filled with determination.

"Well, I admit that I was retorting him, but in truth, I was feeling incredibly sweet.

I'm confused. I don't even know when I acquiesced that I was his woman. Was it because he always said that, like a lie a thousand times before it became the truth, that I, too, had subtly accepted this identity?

"But your wound can't be stopped." Realizing that my thoughts were off track, I quickly pulled back, insisting that I continue to strip and bandage his wounds.

"Take off my pants." He made a prompt decision.

I immediately objected, "No! You'll be colder this way. " His body was too weak to be cold.

"How about this." I thought about it and said, "I'll take it off and help you stop the bleeding. I'll put it on when they get here. That should be fine, right? "

Lou Shaotang frowned and thought for a few seconds, then replied helplessly.

I took off my sweater and helped him bandage the wound. He couldn't help but think of the last time he had covered his wounds, when he had gone out to sea with him and met a pirate. We were enemies then, and this time he was deeply in love with me.

The affairs of the world were both capricious and mysterious.

The corners of my mouth curled up.

"Alright." I tied the last knot and patted Lou Shaotang's shoulder.

He leaned his head against the wall of the cabinet and did not respond.

"Lou Shaotang?" I turned him around, and seeing that his eyes were still closed, my heart leapt into my throat. I was afraid that he might have fainted, so I called out to him anxiously, "Lou Shaotang!"

From what I know, a seriously injured person must not lose consciousness. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will never wake up again.

He still didn't react, causing me to panic. "Lou Shaotang, wake up!"

I patted his face and shook him again, trying to wake him up.

But he remained silent, his head hanging limply on my shoulder.

For a moment, intense fear gripped me.

It can't be, Lou Shaotang wouldn't do it so easily …

I quickly rid myself of this unlucky thought and placed my trembling finger under Lou Shaotang's nose. His breathing was weak, his head hung limply, and his whole body was limp.

"Lou Shaotang, don't sleep!" I panicked to the extreme and called out to him, shaking him, "Don't sleep, wake up! Lou Shaotang! "

With each call, tears welled up in my eyes. Feeling his whole person seem to be slowly losing its vitality, I suddenly felt that some kind of steel pillar that supported my spirit was about to collapse.

"Lou Shaotang, if we can survive this, I will marry you! And to give birth to your child, you must have given birth to many many children! " I hugged him and wailed as I begged, "Lou Shaotang, did you hear that? Wake up! "

I don't know why I said that, but perhaps because it was his wish, he would have survived if he had heard it.

But he did not hear me, and remained in my arms without a sound.

At this moment, I fell into despair. The memories of the past instantly toppled over as they assaulted me …

"Delayed bridal chamber, do you like it?"

"Tu Ying, how much do you love money?"

"Tu Ying, will you betray me?"

"Tu Ying, why did you appear?"

"Tu Ying, return the child to me!"

"Tu Ying, wait for me!"

"Tu Ying, I really love you!"

I could still hear every harsh word he said, and I could still see every expression of joy, anger, and sorrow on his face. My heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe, and tears blurred my vision.

"Lou Shaotang, I love you."

I whispered through my sobs and kissed his frosty lips.

Yes, at this moment, I have clearly realized that my heart has unknowingly fallen in love with this domineering and powerful man.

But it seemed too late now, and he might never hear it again.

I regretted not having been able to recognize his feelings for him earlier, regretted having had a quarrel with him, regretted having broken his heart after he had confessed to me.

How I wish that time could flow back, back to the moment he said he loved me. At that moment, I would hug him tightly and say, "Well, I love you just as much!"

But Lou Shaotang, can you please tell me, do we still have that chance?

"Clang, clang, clang, clang ~ ~ ~"

"Clang, clang, clang, clang ~ ~ ~"

An intense knocking sound came from the door of the container. Startled, I immediately stopped my grief and widened my eyes as I looked towards the direction of the door.
