Chapter Sixteen: The First Encounter in Autumn 1

  On an autumn afternoon, the sun after the rain drove away the dark clouds and illuminated the entire city. The warm sunlight shone on the golden leaves that had fallen to the ground, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet autumn.

  "Hah... hah... hah..."

  In the quiet alley, a rough and heavy breathing sound can be faintly heard coming from afar.

  "Thud thud thud thud......!!"

  "Damn it, hurry up!! Don't fall behind!! Catch up with me quickly!!"

  "Come on, chase! Damn it, stop right there!!!"

  With the sound of rapid footsteps and angry roars from afar, a beautiful figure appeared in this autumn afternoon.

  A beautiful girl is supporting a handsome boy, running breathlessly in the alley.

  "Brother, just hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon!" The girl looked at the boy with blood flowing from his chest with great concern.

  "Hah...hah ah...can't hold on anymore......" The boy panted heavily and said in agony.

  "Brother, don't talk nonsense! Nothing will happen to you! I absolutely won't let anything happen to you!!"

  "Mei'er... let me go, you escape first..." A pale-faced boy struggled to say a sentence.

  "No!! I absolutely won't let go of my brother!! We'll live together or die together!!" The girl said firmly.

  "Mei'er!! Pffft......!!" The boy spat out a mouthful of terrifyingly fresh blood.

  "Brother!!" Seeing the boy's blood, a ripple finally appeared on the girl's calm face.

  "Let me go... Hui Zhen, brother will drag you down... Run away quickly! Cough cough......!!"

  "No! No!! I can't!! Brother, just hold on a bit longer, it'll be here soon! Please...just hang in there for a little while!"

  The girl begged the boy, her beautiful eyes flashing with tears, and her fair skin turned even paler.

  Damn it, because of her carelessness, her brother actually took a bullet for her from the enemy!

  Although she knew there would be a trap, she still jumped down and even hurt her brother!! If they can't escape today, she will die with her eyes open!

  "Ah......!!"

  Just as the girl was about to give up hope, she accidentally stepped on the well cover, which suddenly opened quickly, and then they lost their balance and fell into the well together.

  The girl hugged the seriously injured boy and they fell into a bottomless well together.

  "Bang......!!"

  With a tremendous splash and spray of water, the boy and girl plunged into the clear icy well water.

  "Wake up...!! Brother, wake up...!! Waaaahhh...!!"

  The girl finally hugged her brother and struggled out of the icy water. She, who couldn't swim, was even more struggling in the water while hugging her seriously injured brother.

  Due to the intense impact with water, the seriously injured boy had lost consciousness, and the girl's cherry lips were also gradually turning purple due to the icy cold water, but the girl did not give up on the boy and continued to struggle in the freezing water.

  "Uggghhh... Owwww... Brother!!! Owwww!!!"

  So cold... so cold... Is it going to end like this? No!! She doesn't want to...!!

  Just as the girl was slowly sinking into the water, a powerful force held them up. Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a handsome and charming shadow...
