Hua Yan quickly changed into a neat dress and walked out from behind the screen.
Su Zizhan took a black cloak, wrapped it around her, seemingly having a thousand words to say, but at this moment, he found himself unable to utter a single one. He hugged her tightly yet gently, and whispered, "Let's go."
Hua Yan knew that this parting meant that their reunion was uncertain. By leaving, she would leave him to face the raging storm of Su Zishe's wrath alone. She dared not think about whether Su Zishe might kill him in a fit of rage, but she couldn't stay either.
She could only plead, "Su Zizhan, no matter what, I want you to stay alive. This is the only thing I ask of you in this lifetime; you must promise me, and you must do it, okay?"
Su Zizhan's eyes also moistened at that instant, "Yes, I will make sure of it."
