The Other Side 560

"I'm not as fragile as you think."0

"But…" The actor said seriously, "I saw Alice looking very nervous. I thought you were in danger."

"She's right. It would be troublesome if I were to be arrested by those useless FBI men and court-martialed. But I wouldn't let those idiots arrest me so easily."

Alice was unnecessarily worried.

"Alright then!" Hua Jin raised his hands in surrender. "Just take it that I'm causing you more problems!"

Gong Jie gave him a long look, then suddenly walked up to him and wrapped his arm around the back of his neck, drawing the actor's head gently against his chest.

"I'm glad you're here."

Listening to his sonorous heartbeat, Hua Jin calmed down a little.

"Gong Jie, have you really decided?"

"Eh?"

"Decided that you want to be with me…" Hua Jin had his doubts still. "Why… have you decided on me?"

"I don't know either. Who knows anything for sure, when it comes to relationships. I'm still wondering why my sister likes a guy like Mu Yazhe." Pausing for a moment, he closed his eyes again. "But now, I've come to terms with it. Whether one likes a person or falls in love with a person, is often something that happens in the space of a single thought."

"In the space of a single thought…" Hua Jin broke into laughter. "Is that what they mean by love at first sight?"

Gong Jie pursed his lips. "Really? I only know that I really hated you the first time I saw you."

Hua Jin was dumbstruck.

Hated!?

Hua Jin was skeptical. "Why did you hate me?"

"What right do you have to any part of my sister?" The man frowned slightly. "She belongs to me alone. Why should I need a younger brother like you?"

"…"

"Oh," he replied. "Well… It's like this. At that time, I had a special feeling towards Shishi. At first, I thought that I must have fallen in love with her to be feeling that way. Later, I realized that the warmth she gave me was actually the kind of warmth that one gets from a home. Perhaps it was because I had no concept of home since I was young, so being with her made me feel a sense of belonging. In addition, she's a little older than me…"

Upon hearing this, Gong Jie's normally cold eyes instantly softened. "From now on, wherever I am, that's your home."

The actor was extremely touched when he heard this.

"Yes, it's settled then."

The two of them looked at each other.

At this moment, Alice's voice suddenly came over the radio.

"Xiao Jie, time to move."

Gong Jie replied expressionlessly, "Meet up at the harbor in half an hour."

"Alright. Be careful."

With that, he turned to the actor. "Follow me and don't act on your own, understand?"

"Will I need to shoot?"

"No."

"Then these two guns…"

"When I fall, it will be time for you to protect me. Do you understand?"

The actor nodded.

…

Gong Jie walked to the window and lifted the curtains, counting down silently.

Five…

Four…

Three…

Two…

One…

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The cannonball blasted a huge pit 300 meters away from the hospital.

The row of houses caught fire.

Originally, there was a refugee shelter near the hospital. Now, all the refugees had gathered in the hospital, and it was in ruins.

Someone in the hospital shouted hysterically, "Air raid! It's an air raid!"

The air-raid siren sounded instantly.
