“Don’t die.” Fang Xinxin swam with all her might and held onto him.

“Could it be that you can’t bear for me to die because I used to pursue you?” Ya Lun’s complexion was pale as he smiled.

Sobs…

He was deeply moved.

As a replaceable second hand, he was used to sacrificing himself.

To think there was a woman who would miss him if he died.

If she wasn’t his boss’s woman, he would definitely pursue her.

Truthfully, Fang Xinxin did not care much for Ya Lun’s survival. However, earlier when she had run for the motorbike, he did not abandon her and had chosen to look for her.

She remembered this favor.

Thus, she naturally would not turn a blind eye to his plight. However, what she said was, “You’re Bai Qinghao’s subordinate. He might be sad if you die.”

She knew that Ya Lun was attracted to her. Thus, she needed to keep him from having any unrealistic expectations.

A hint of bitterness flashed past Ya Lun’s face.

Given his personality, he was fearless about pursuing women regardless of whether they were attached or not. However, he absolutely could not touch his boss’s woman.

This was because he owed Bai Qinghao his life.

Thus, he also ended his feelings for her. “It’s fine if Boss is upset about my death. But it would absolutely destroy him if you died. Fang Xinxin, you have to live.”

He did not wish to become a burden to her. Thus, he began to push her aside. “Don’t hold onto me. It’ll tire you out.”

She obediently released him, leaving him to struggle in the water.

Ya Lun thought internally, this woman sure is heartless. He didn’t… he didn’t actually mean it.

Fang Xinxin treaded the water slowly and kept her head above the surface. Her gaze shifted onto the trees that were gradually being consumed by the fire. One of the large trees broke off and rolled onto the ground.

Her gaze turned cold as she activated her powers. The large tree trunk was sent flying into the lake.

Ya Lun had been struggling to stay afloat. When he saw this scene, his jaw fell open.

Fang Xinxin concentrated once more and the tree trunk levitated towards Ya Lun side.

Ya Lun instinctively wrapped his arms around the tree trunk and exerted all his strength to keep his upper body above the water. He then coughed repeatedly.

Fang Xinxin was thoroughly exhausted. She swam over and held onto the same tree trunk, leaning her head against it to rest.

The two of them each held onto one end of the tree trunk and floated quietly.

They were surrounded by raging flames. Every so often, they could hear the noise of an explosion nearby.

Although they were quite far away from land, the heat from the flames was sufficient to make them uncomfortable.

They held onto the tree trunk and frequently dipped their heads beneath the water to avoid the heat.

As the fire grew stronger, even the water began to turn warm.

Thankfully, they were in the center of the lake and were mostly unaffected.

“Sister-in-law, it turns out that you can do more than traveling through walls. You can even levitate objects.” Ya Lun saw that the fire wouldn’t stop anytime soon. Thus, he began to chat idly with Fang Xinxin.

Fang Xinxin was not surprised by his knowledge.

This was because she had relied on her powers to escape from the underground base and follow Bai Qinghao.

Ya Lun was the organization’s second hand.. Although he had been missing at the time, he could have easily found out the truth by checking the surveillance cameras records after he returned.
