Ye Tianxin heard her heart pounding. It was so thrilling and exciting.

They walked in the desert not long before the horse fell headlong.

The man on the horse rolled around in the sand with Ye Tianxin in his arms. Ye Tianxin’s body was covered in yellow sand.

“Are you brother Li?”

His embrace and breath were so familiar to her.

Even though Ye Tianxin hadn’t seen his face yet, she firmly believed that the man riding a white horse to rescue her was her Li Qingcang.

The man stood up and looked down at Ye Tianxin. The silver mask on his face shimmered in the moonlight.

Ye Tianxin was startled. She instantly thought of the explosion at Imperial Capital University.

Was Li Qingcang was disfigured in that explosion?

Was that why he never showed up?

“You are brother Li, aren’t you?”

Ye Tianxin got up from the sand and walked to Li Qingcang. She tried to reach out and remove the mask from Li Qingcang’s face.

Li Qingcang took a step back, and Ye Tianxin’s hands did not touch it.

Ye Tianxin felt a tingling pain in her heart from looking at Li Qingcang in front of her.

“I know you are brother Li. No matter what you become, you will always be my brother Li.”

The rejoicing after the surviving…

The joy of reunion after a long absence…

The bravery of a hero rescuing a beautiful princess…

“You’ve got the wrong person.”

Ye Tianxin was startled when she heard him. She stared at the man. He had Li Qingcang’s back, his height, and his breath, but his voice was different.

“Don’t lie to me. Don’t think that just because you’re wearing a mask and changed your voice, I will believe that you are not Li Qingcang. I am not that stupid.”

Ye Tianxin fought back the tears in her eyes.

She didn’t know why Li Qingcang did so, but she believed that Li Qingcang must have his own reasons for doing this.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to admit it now. I will wait for you until you admit that you are him.”

The horse was shot.

It was injured.

At the moment, it was lying in the desert, dying.

The blood flowing from the horse dyed the yellow sand around it red.

In the face of death, humans and animals were the same; they were all as small as a tiny speck in the vast universe.

The bullet passed through its front abdomen, and they had no surgical instruments on them at the moment.

It couldn’t be saved.

Ye Tianxin squatted in front of the horse and stretched out her hands to stroke its eyes gently.

The horse slowly closed its eyes under her caress.

The horse also shed a tear when Ye Tianxin moved her hands away.

“I will bury it here.”

Ye Tianxin buried the horse with handfuls of sand.

Li Qingcang also silently followed along to help her when he saw her doing so.

There was a small dune soon.

“Let’s go, I will take you out of the desert.”

Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang walked forward silently.

Looking at the tall figure in front of her, Ye Tianxin felt a sudden urge to just hold him by the waist and tell him that she would be there for him no matter what happened.

She would always be his best harbor.

From a distance, Li Qingcang saw a lot of the cacti.

Li Qingcang walked over and picked the small, pointed red fruits on the cacti.

He handed them to Ye Tianxin.

Ye Tianxin was so tired and thirsty after walking for so long that her lips were dried.
