"Anyone who dares to flee—bear the consequences yourself!"
The murderous words crashed down from high above, snuffing out the last faint hope.
It was obvious: someone was watching.
When Qin Yu came out, Lin Qianqian and Zhao Mengli hadn't gotten out of bed yet, and he spent some more time comforting Lin Shuishui.
The little girl clung to him desperately, holding him tight and sobbing uncontrollably.
Even Qin Yu's promise to bring her lots of tasty treats didn't help.
In the end, he kissed her forehead, and the shy little girl finally went to find her sister, letting Qin Yu escape.
As he opened the door, Lin Qianqian and Zhao Mengli—the two sisters who shared each other's troubles—opened their eyes at the same time. Tears filled their eyes, but in a flash, they became determined.
They had said it before.
If Qin Yu didn't come back, they'd go looking for him.
They knew themselves, too—if they made a fuss and went with Qin Yu now, it would only cause him more trouble.
