Yun Bilu watched carefully as she sat down softly by his side. Just looking at him like this filled her heart up.

Loving someone, especially when you fall deep in it, would allow his breath and every action to affect your emotions.

Despite wanting to take this chance to check if Huang Yize was injured, Yun Bilu felt that his rest was more important, which was why she did not dare to disturb him. She even tried to silence her breathing so as to not rouse him.

Staring intently, Yun Bilu realized that even though Huang Yize did not look like he changed much at first glance, he actually did.

His face was thinner now. His features were exquisite in the past, and now that he got thinner, it made those features stand out more. However, at the same time, she could also see his fatigue and frailness from them.

His complexion used to be good, but now, it appeared to be slightly pale—a result of being busy over a long time.

Yun Bilu looked at the dishes on the table, troubled that she probably made too little. She should make some eggs so that it could be more nutritious.

Yun Bilu hated that she couldn't make a nouris.h.i.+ng soup for him right now.

Huang Yize was truly tired. The moment his gunshot wound recovered, he came eagerly to find Yun Bilu.

He remembered every conversation they had and the promises he made for her. No matter how late, he would not go back on his words.

All of his subordinates did not agree at his discharge, but because he was still their Young Master, they could not do anything to stop him.

He remembered what his father asked him, "What kind of girl is she? Bring her back and let me take a look!"

At that time, he replied, "I cannot bring her into the Black Dragon Gang right now because of my selfishness. You couldn't protect who you love, but I will do my best to protect mine."

Huang Yize's father paled at his words, as though recalling something sorrowful. It looked as if he aged within a second. "So, you working this hard for missions is to remove all enemies and remove any people who are dissatisfied with you in the Black Dragon Gang, just so you can bring her in?"

"That's correct. If there are any dangers, I will remove them. If there are enemies, I will kill all of them to protect her."

Huang Yize's father was incensed. "That's why you are using yourself as bait to rush through these? Do you know, you have never hurt yourself before this, but you've been so close to death these few times!"

He could only reply in determination. "I won't die. I will live on properly because she needs me."

This time, his conversation with his father ended on a bad note. However, no matter what he did, he knew that he couldn't let himself come into danger. His girl needed him, so if something happened to him, she would definitely be ridden in grief.

She lost her grandfather. He did not want her to lose anything else. From the clues he got, he had been trying to help her. Perhaps he would be able to find her grandfather.

Huang Yize slept soundly. Perhaps it was Yun Bilu's presence beside him that allowed him to subconsciously relax his mind.

But even in his dreams, there were a lot of things that he needed to settle, causing his brows to furrow together.

Yun Bilu saw Huang Yize's furrowed brows, and her heart clenched.

She really really wanted to remove the frown between his brows, but she was afraid to rouse him from sleep. She pursed her lips in conflict as to what to do.

If it was in the past, looking at Huang Yize sleeping would definitely trigger her pa.s.sion and desire for him. However, this time around, there was not a single trace of that thought. All that was there was sadness for him and hope that she could see the way he was before.
