Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 287 I've Always Been Waiting for You to Grow Up

Scars!

Lu Beimo's arm was clearly marked with a burn scar.

Her nose tingled with emotion; she never expected that she, who never cried, would feel so heartbroken at this moment that she almost shed tears.

Those lost memories returned to her mind little by little, and she finally saw the boy's face clearly in the sea of ​​fire.

A face that, though blackened by smoke, still retained its refined and handsome features.

It was him, it was him!

The memories in my mind were finally slowly unearthed.

It was he who held her in his arms and fed her the medicine little by little.

He even coaxed her, saying, "I'll drink with you, I'll drink what you leave behind, and I'll share your bitterness."

The medicine she left behind was all dregs, but he always kept his word, and he swallowed every last drop.

It was more bitter and harder to swallow than her medicine, but he swallowed it with great joy, simply because his little Ali had obediently finished the medicine.

She lived in a daze every day back then, but she knew that he was often not by her side.

When he was away, she was terrified and afraid of everyone. She refused to take her medicine and even refused to eat.

Every time he came back, he was always in a hurry. Sometimes she seemed to smell blood, but she was still feeling unwell and didn't understand or care.

He came back to feed her medicine, feed her porridge, and coax her to sleep. Every time, he would hold her hand and let her fall asleep. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see him. She cried in fear, and he came immediately.

After that, he stayed by her side every night. Whenever she woke up, she would see him sleeping on a bench not far from her.

She said, "When I grow up, I will marry you."

He must have been happy, as he patted her head and said to her: I've been waiting for little Ali to grow up.

It turns out he had been waiting for her for so long.

So long...

Chu Yueli closed her eyes briefly, concealing the tears welling up inside.

The man beside her was still focused on the fire and didn't notice the change in her emotions.

Not long after, Jing Lei returned and said, "There is no suspicious person around."

"Watch her, don't let her in!" Lu Beimo handed Chu Yueli over to Jing Lei.

With no one suspicious, no one will use grenades to injure people anymore, and he can go in and rescue them himself.

Chu Yueli instinctively grabbed his sleeve.

Before long, someone had already rushed in.

"Big brother!" Chu Yueli exclaimed anxiously, wanting to go in as well.

Lu Beimo pulled her back again.

"I'll go in with my brother. You're too inexperienced; the fireworks will burn your skin. Stay put." With that, he pushed Chu Yueli in front of Jing Lei and strode inside.

"Miss Li, please forgive me!" Jing Lei grabbed Chu Yue Li's wrist. In an emergency, even if it meant offending her, he had to prevent her from going in to rescue people.

Although even with Miss Li's martial arts skills, I might not be able to stop her, but if I can stop her for a while, that's good enough.

“Lord Jinglei, I won’t act impulsively. You can let go now,” Chu Yueli said calmly.

Jing Lei still had some doubts.

Chu Yueli said, "The assassin may not have escaped. Instead of wasting time getting entangled with me here, we should come with me to look for traces left by the assassin."

Jing Lei stared at her, somewhat bewildered.

But Chu Yueli had truly calmed down completely. She flung him away and immediately leaped into the air, flying towards the surrounding high walls.
