Yu Meng clenched her hands, her shoulders tensed. Her face turned from pale to green, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

By now, the fear in Yu Meng's heart had gradually faded, replaced by helplessness and sorrow. They were originally so powerless when facing fate, just like mother and Mu Bai. Even after risking their entire lives to fight fate, they were still useless.

Yu Meng's eyes grew hot, and two drops of water that were as long as butterfly wings fell heavily on Tan Yubai's hands.

Yu Meng frowned and tried to open her eyes.

The man in front of him was sweating profusely as he bit his lips and tried his best to hold himself back. His black pupils slightly narrowed. Sometimes they were sharp, sometimes they were sad. It was as if two types of energy were tearing at his body, causing pain and despair.

Yu Meng felt that Tan Yubai's strength was getting smaller and smaller. Due to the fact that her blood vessels were unblocked, her originally dizzy state had recovered quite a bit. She raised her hand and used her strength to pry away Tan Yubai's hand that was grabbing her neck.

One …

Two...

Three of them...

All the way until Yu Meng fell from the sky and landed on the ground, panting heavily.

She slowly calmed herself down and raised her head to look at Tan Yubai. He seemed to have gone mad, as he sat on the ground and waved his sleeves randomly.

Yu Meng was stunned for a few seconds. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and ran out.

She had always thought that she was not afraid of death. She had thought that her deep love for Tan Yubai had already reached the stage where there was no fear at all. But at this moment, her body uncontrollably ran out.

This kind of nature was something that Yu Meng couldn't define.

Yu Meng stood in the wide courtyard, breathing in the fresh air, shielding her eyes from the thick smell of blood. She finally felt better.

Suddenly …

A loud sound suddenly came from the dilapidated room. It was the sound of something heavy colliding with something. After that sound, it was soon the sound of something falling on the ground. "Bang!" A clear and deep sound rang out.

At this point, the room was completely quiet.

Yu Meng's heart sank. She didn't stop running back.

Tan Yubai laid on the ground, his body turned red and he fell to the side. His blood flowed out all the way to Yu Meng's feet.

This was the last bit of strength left to kill Yu Meng.

Yu Meng's eyes widened, she didn't dare to move forward for a long time. She seemed to be unable to see the rise and fall of the man's chest, he … Is he dead?

If she could accept Tan Yubai's death when she attended his funeral in China, at this moment, after all that they had experienced together, she could not accept it.

Instinctively she loved him, instinctively she wanted to be with him, instinctively she was afraid of him, and now instinctively she regretted having run away from him.

When facing Tan Yubai, she seemed to be constantly struggling with her own issues.

But now, that silent man was lying at her feet, lying in a pool of blood.

Her entanglement was gone, but so was her heart.

She plucked up her courage and leaned over, placing her hand on the tip of his nose. She couldn't feel even a breath of it.

Her body stiffened, as if she could feel her meridians breaking inch by inch. The painful moans from the room echoed in her head, and she felt as if she had been revived and was about to die.

"Talk …" By now, she couldn't even pronounce his name clearly.

Suddenly, the man in front of him straightened his body, coughed out a mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and fainted.

Yu Meng clearly saw the man's chest rise and fall again, and the warm breath flowing from his fingertips.

So he was just choked with blood.

Yu Meng helped Tan Yubai up and laid him down on the bed. The man's calm face lightly tugged at Yu Meng's heart.

The best word in the world, she thought, was probably a thrill without danger.

Tan Yubai endured it. This was the first time he got addicted to drugs.

Even at such a painful price.

There was a well in the courtyard, and Yu Meng had already drawn water there. She tore off her clothes and used it as a towel to soak herself in the well, helping to wipe Tan Yubai's body.

Unknowingly, as the sun was about to set and its light shone, she helped Tan Yubai clean up his wounds and wipe off the blood on his body. She then let out a long breath and sat on a rock in the courtyard.

Although this place was desolate and dilapidated, it still had a beautiful scenery.

From the courtyard, he gazed into the distance. The crimson rays covered the entire sky, dyeing it bright red. It was truly beautiful as it sprinkled down on the earth.

She climbed down from the rock and sat on the ground, her back against the rock. Slowly, she closed her eyes.

She suddenly thought of the words Tan Yubai had said when he had awoken. She couldn't help but open her eyes, and when she looked at the tombstone carved out of wood in front of her, her lips curled into a smile. "Mom, were you the one who protected me just now?"

Unfortunately, she couldn't hear him return. She couldn't even dream of him.

When Yu Meng woke up, it was already the next morning. The courtyard was shrouded in mist, and her hair had accumulated some moisture as it hung wet on her face. Yu Meng moved her body as she was in excruciating pain.

It must have been from yesterday's injury that caused his bones to vibrate, and from the time he leaned against a rock and slept all night, his bones seemed to be on the verge of breaking apart.

Yu Meng clenched her teeth, barely able to stand up while enduring the pain. Before long, her forehead was already overflowing with cold sweat.

She walked into the room and took two deep breaths before she mustered her courage.

Tan Yubai was already awake, it was unknown when he was awake. When Yu Meng went in, he was lying on his bed with his back facing the ceiling, looking indifferent.

When Yu Meng entered, he didn't have much of a reaction.

Yu Meng quietly sat by the bed, her hand touching Tan Yubai's forehead, she did not know whether it was because of the fever or the perspiration on his forehead.

However, the hand that had just reached out was suddenly gripped by someone's wrist.

Those hands were moist and soft, without much effort.

Yu Meng was initially frightened, but her tensed body gradually relaxed due to the warmth coming from her palms.

"You're awake." Yu Meng opened her mouth, "Are you thirsty? I found a well in the backyard. The water there is very sweet."

Tan Yubai turned his body. Looking at Yu Mengyun's calm appearance, he felt pain in his heart.

He gently caressed Yu Meng's palm. Her arm was still injured, and blood had already seeped out of the gauze, forming brown scabs.

He leaned over and kissed the wound on her arm.

Yu Meng, on the other hand, was feeling a little itchy. She bashfully pulled back her hand and said, "What are you doing? It's fine."

She stood up and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable facing him.

"I'll get you some water."

He then left as if he was running.

The room was too oppressive. When they faced Tan Yubai, they tortured each other, causing a whole body of injuries. He was in so much pain that he was about to die, and she was in so much despair that she was about to lose her life.

Yu Meng didn't know how to deal with this anymore.

She was not a great person, and when faced with something she did not want to face, she could only run.

Yu Meng took a long time to fill a bowl with water.

When she returned to the house, Tan Yubai was already leaning on the bed. He said that it was a bed but it was just a dilapidated wooden board.

The wooden crack was severe, barbs were everywhere, Tan Yubai's clothes were thin, if he leaned on it, he would definitely be injured.

Yu Meng hurriedly walked over with the water in her hand. The space between her eyebrows was deeply wrinkled.

"How did he get up? How can he get away with it? His back is already injured."

She placed her hands on top of Tan Yubai's hands, leaned over and supported his shoulders, lifting him up. She casually pulled out a moldy mattress, patted it, forcefully brushed off the dust on it, and then placed it on Tan Yubai's back.

"Are you feeling better?" Yu Meng sat beside Tan Yubai, and asked him softly: "If it's not enough, I'll go to the room to look for something, do you have anything to lean on?"

As he said that, he stood up again. But this time, he was stopped by Tan Yubai.

He pulled her to the side of the bed and sat her down. His eyes were filled with dark emotions. He pursed his lips and shook his head.

He was holding Yu Meng's hand, and she could feel the heat and the wetness in his palm. She thought he must be thirsty, since he was sweating so much.

"Do you want me to pour you more water?"

Yu Meng's hand moved, and the man let go.

She thought he was thirsty, so she let go of him to get some water. However, just as Yu Meng was about to reach the door, she heard a man's voice.

"Are you afraid of being alone with me now?"

The man's voice was hoarse and sad, like rough sandpaper, gnawing away at the heart of dreams.

"That's not it..." Yu Meng turned around, wanting to explain herself, but the man beside the bed only pursed his lips and smiled. His smile was forced and stiff.

"I'm thirsty." "No," he said.

"Alright, I'll go get some water." She took the bowl and went out.

When Yu Meng brought in another bowl of water, Tan Yubai was already asleep. He didn't even have time to lie down before he fell asleep with his back against the rotten cushion.

Yu Meng walked in and carefully helped him lie down.

Seeing that he was breathing evenly, Yu Meng unconsciously eased up her breathing.

She stood beside him, her stomach suddenly rumbling.

"Big White?"

Yu Meng called out to him twice. Seeing that he didn't have any reaction, she decided that he must be sleeping soundly. Then, she stood up and walked out of the room.

She planned to buy some things from the nearby town, and also see if she can contact Shen Nian and Su Yu.

Amongst them, as long as Su Yu had a phone, he said that his phone was specially designed to receive intelligence. Inside was an anti-detection system, so Tan Yubai was only willing to let him keep it.
