"I'll be right back."
Li Xiye's lips trembled. An indescribable emotion welled up inside her, making her heart ache and her breath catch in her throat. She gazed sorrowfully at Zhou Chen. After a long moment, as if she had come to some understanding, she lowered her eyes in grief.
"You have to swear."
"I swear I'll come back for you." Zhou Chen raised his hand in an oath.
