A Mutual Salvation

I sat quietly by the window, listening to the screams inside the house.

The door was kicked open, and Shen Zhixing walked in.

He pinched my cheek and pressed a bloodied knife against my face.

“Nan Nan, I’ll kill everyone you love. That way, I…”

“I love you.”

I watched his pupils widen slightly.

Then I kissed him.

“Shen Zhixing, I love you.”
