After she had enough water, Yun Nan leaned against the tap and pondered,

‘How can I get some water to Shi Nian without a container? Judging by Shi Nian’s injuries, she was afraid that, like her, he wouldn’t be able to walk. It was also impossible for her to carry Shi Nian to the tap!

Yun Nan looked up at the sky and sighed. Her head almost hit the faucet before she instinctively avoided it, which pulled at her chest injury, and she gasped at the pain. However, that gave her an idea.

Shi Nian greedily sucked the cool liquid pressed to his lips. ‘How many times has it been? he wondered. It was very short each time, and the intervals in between were quite long. However, the water offered to him tasted sweet and made his dreams even sweeter. He dreamed of Yun Nan—dreamed he was kissing her lips. The kisses they shared were sweet, refreshing, gentle, and beautiful.

Even though his entire body felt like one big bruise, even though his head throbbed and felt like it was about to explode, Shi Nian still craved the beautiful moments that accompanied the pain.

There was no more water, and Yun Nan’s soft lips left his, but Shi Nian still yearned for more. He heard Yun Nan panting beside him, murmuring, “Shi Nian, I’m too tired to crawl anymore. Let me rest for a bit. Just for a bit.”

Shi Nian opened his eyes and could vaguely make out Yun Nan.

Yun Nan immediately sat up when she heard that and moved Shi Nian up while being mindful of his head. She let his body lean against hers as she leaned against the wall.

Shi Nian could hear Yun Nan breathing very heavily. He reached out to stroke her face and held her hand. “Yun Nan, where are you hurt?” he asked.

“…My leg, my left leg, seems to be broken… And my ribs… My arms hurt, too, ” Yun Nan softly replied.

Shi Nian was silent. “Shi Nian, are we—are we going to die here?” Yun Nan muttered, exhausted.

Shi Nian almost blurted out, “No, we won’t!” But that wasn’t something he could promise her right now, so he forcefully swallowed his words, causing him to choke and cough.

Yun Nan hurriedly pulled herself together and helped massage his chest, but Shi Nian let out a pained hiss. Yun Nan quickly let go and smiled bitterly, saying, “Your ribs are probably injured too.”

Shi Nian panted lightly, trying his best to suppress the pain. “Yun Nan, are you willing to die with me?” he asked softly.

Yun Nan froze for a moment before stating wryly, “It doesn’t matter whether

I’m willing or not; it’s not like we have any other choice.”

Shi Nian held Yun Nan’s hand once more. “I’m sorry, Yun Nan, for not having the chance to ask if you’re willing to marry me before directly asking you if you’re willing to die with me. ‘We don’t share the same bed, but we shall share the same grave;’ that’s the deepest vow between husband and wife in ancient times. Although we were forced into this situation, I still want to ask how you feel about me.”

‘Seriously, this guy! How can he still be in the mood to be romantic under such circumstances? Yun Nan thought.

She exhaled lightly, and there was a hint of laughter in her voice as she answered, “Alright, I’m willing. But if we manage to survive this, you have to propose to me, okay? You silly man, who would ask to die together before even proposing? *Sigh* I really didn’t expect my life would end so haphazardly; there are still many things I wanted to do and many wishes to fulfill.” “We won’t die,” Shi Yan said firmly.

Yun Nan sighed. “How are you so sure? Do you have a way to escape? Even if you do, I don’t have the strength to get us out.”

Shi Nian gripped Yun Nan’s hand tightly before gentling his hold as he stated, “Because I love you.”

Yun Nan didn’t speak. “Yun Nan, I’m in love with you,” Shi Nian continued. “Can we cancel our five-year agreement? I want to sign a lifetime contract with you. What do you say, Yun Nan?” Shi Nian had a splitting headache and was running such a high fever that his breaths came out hot, but he tried his best to keep himself conscious and aware. ‘I have to make things clear, even ifit means I die here/

‘Yun Nan? Are you listening?” Shi Nian asked. Yun Nan still didn’t say anything, and Shi Nian was so worried that he shifted his body, wanting to look at her.

“Ouch!” they both hissed out and gasped in pain.

“Just hold still and say what you have to say,” Yun Nan irritably reprimanded him.

Shi Nian adjusted the angle of his body, careful not to press down on Yun Nan for fear of her injuries, but he still solemnly said, “Yun Nan, I love you!”

Yun Nan finally replied, “…I got it.”

Shi Nian wanted to facepalm, but he didn’t have the strength to lift his hand. ‘ Who on earth would answer “I got it” to “I love you”? What does she mean by “I got it” ? Is that a yes or a no? Does she accept my feelings or reject them?

Shi Nian’s mind was working at top speed, and still, he couldn’t think of what to say next. ‘ Yun Nan sure is something; shés practically the terminator oflove confessions!’ he thought wryly.

“When did you fall in love with me?” Yun Nan suddenly inquired..
