The nurse paled even more when she heard Lily’s intimidating words. Akane told her that Lily was just some random girl that the boss had picked up and that without Boss Zhuo around, she wouldn’t have the guts to act all high and mighty. So what was this situation about now? "I will go to Zhuo Jingren now and take care of him," she declared before turning to the two men who stayed behind Secretary Go. "Don’t let that woman leave. Make sure to interrogate her properly and find out who asked her to…

"Mr. Zhuo... Mr. Zhuo..." Akane’s sobs irritated Lily. She furrowed her brows and looked at the woman who was reaching towards Zhuo Jingren and was about to touch him. "Don’t contaminate him!" she managed to say in Japanese, surprising everyone including Secretary Go and Akane. Lily then turned her head towards Secretary Go. "Have your men lift him and transport him to a hospital as soon as possible." Lily’s tone was cold and chilly, instantly making Secretary Go swallow all the words he wanted to…

June 19th, Sunday - 5th day Location: unknown. Lily looked at Zhuo Jingren’s luminous watch. It had been more than three hours since Zhuo Jingren lost consciousness and Lily was getting worried. She stuck out her hands to catch some rainwater, then brought it towards Zhuo Jingren’s lips, trying to get him to drink some water. Rainwater was not ideal, but it was their only source of water to hydrate themselves for now. She then tightened the coat around him before feeling his forehead for his…

Riku & Akane’s residence. Riku ran towards Akane’s room, anger plastered all over his handsome face. When he reached her room, instead of knocking like he always does, he forcefully kicked the door open. "Oni-" Akane rose from her seat while clutching her sleeping robe. Her eyes wide from shock at the sudden and loud intrusion. "I told you not to do something stupid!" he bellowed as he approached Akane. "Go- leave now!" "Onii-sama! What are you talking about?" "Stop playing dumb with me!…

"Will saving you... make you love me?" he answered in a weak voice. "If so... then I would gladly do it without batting an eye." Zhuo Jingren’s words truly touched Lily. Unable to control herself, Lily burst into tears. She bit her lip and felt the muscles in her chin tremble. "Stupid." "Why are you crying?" he asked. "I’m not going to die... I mean... I still want to marry you... so don’t worry too much about it." "How could you still say something like this when you are in this state?"…

When Lily regained her consciousness, she felt a throbbing pain in her back as she began to survey her surroundings. Slowly, she tried to turn her body only to realize that she was lying on the ground and something was pressing on her body. She furrowed her brows and tried to wriggle free only to realize that she was trapped under Zhuo Jingren who had his arms wrapped around her protectively. "Hey..." Lily tapped on Zhuo Jingren’s arms, her eyes trying to make out of their surroundings. If her guess…

"Let’s go?" Zhuo Jingren rose from his seat when he realized that it was already past ten in the evening. He roamed his eyes around the empty temple before he noticed that Lily was looking at him worriedly. "Even though this place had been abandoned, the lights from the lamp posts are still working. I would get someone to change the bulbs every now and then. You don’t have to be scared," he assured Lily with a smile. "I am not scared," Lily said before she got up from the bench. "It’s quite late.…

Just like what Zhuo Jinren said, the temple that Lily saw was really dilapidated. The once majestic curved roofs had collapsed, the walls were cracked and mosses were everywhere. With the columns of the temple still standing tall, they reminded visitors of its once glorious form. "Why did they abandon this temple?" she asked, taking a seat on a stone bench next to Zhuo Jingren. "The monks left," he answered. "I don’t know the exact reason. But when I arrived here years ago, this temple was already…

Lily’s eyelids fluttered before she quickly lowered her head to hide her sadness from Zhuo Jingren. "It doesn’t matter to me. I will still marry you. Getting married is not all about having children anyway," Zhuo Jingren gently said in all seriousness. With her head still lowered, she had missed seeing the gentleness in Zhuo Jingren’s eyes which conveyed so much love for this woman. The duo then continued eating their sandwiches in silence. When they were done with their snack, Zhuo Jingren…

Fussa City is located in the western part of Tokyo, Japan. It was a quiet place that got famous for having an American air force base. The city is also located near two famous mountains where a cable car transport system had been built. "Absolutely not." Lily shook her head. "I don’t want to ride a bicycle," she firmly said when Zhuo Jingren told her that they were going to ride a bicycle around the resort. As the resort was huge, guests usually rely on bicycles to travel around the area. "Then you…
