Chapter 1521: Why Did I Fall in Love With Such a Fool?
“You can’t be protecting him forever,” Nian Junting said unceremoniously. “His enemy is powerful and formidable, so you won’t be able to protect him against them anyway. The police are waiting it out to catch the big fish, and if they don’t excavate the entire organization, you two won’t be able to spend the rest of your lives together in peace.”
“Easy for you to say! It’s not your loved one who’s leaving right now!” Nian Xi glared at him angrily. Nian Junting would frequently infuriate her, but she had never felt this amount of rage before. “If he doesn’t come back alive, who’s going to take responsibility for that? Who? You? He’s small, frail, timid, and he can’t even tell a lie properly. He’ll easily blow his cover!”
Nian Junting chuckled. “You probably don’t know him well enough then.”
“As if you know him better than I do! He’s my man!” Nian Xi was furious. “Anyway, if you want him to go undercover, you’ll have to step over my dead body first.”
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Jiang Yuning looked around, his lips pursed. Finally, he stepped out and said, “Xixi, I think your brother’s right. I have the right to make this decision by myself. You would do the same if you were in my position.”
“How could it be the same? I’m a cop! I perform well in adrenaline-filled situations, and I’m agile and skilled. What about you? What do you have?” Nian Xi asked anxiously with frustration.
Nian Junting sighed in frustration. “If you’re so agile, then why did you end up in a wheelchair after getting shot? Why were you nearly burnt to death in the lab? He was the one who rescued you. If a fight really enfolds, I’m sure he’ll beat you with his high-technology gadgets.”
Nian Xi was shocked. Why did she find that so familiar-sounding? Was she the one who had said that to him?
“Xixi, I’m not just doing this for you.” Jiang Yuning looked at her seriously. “I’m doing this for my parents too, as well as for those people who have died because of this organization. If no one stops them, more and more people will end up getting hurt in the future. Secondly, I was the one who created this problem in the first place. It was my research, so I need to solve this myself. You’re right, I’m terrified and scared, and I’ve never fought criminals before, but I know that I have to, for your sake. I want to be with you forever, not just for a short while. Besides, you like heroes. I may not be a hero, but I still want to make you proud in my own ways. I’ll be brave for you.”
“After we started dating, I changed a lot. I used to dislike talking to people, and I was always in my own world. But now I know how much happiness there can be with others in my world, and the amount of bliss I can receive from interacting with someone I like. As long as I have you in my heart and mind, I’m certain that I can do this. I promise you that I’ll come back alive, alright?”
It was the first time he had said so many words at one go.
Nian Xi had burst into tears halfway through his speech. Tears were incessantly rolling down her cheeks.
She pondered about when she had first met him when he would tag along behind her like a fool.
Throughout their relationship, he had learned to stand in front of her whenever danger appeared before her.
“Jiang Yuning, you fool… Why did I fall in love with such a fool?” she choked up.
“Because I am a fool who would change for you,” Jiang Yuning said softly and hugged her tightly. “When I come back, I hope that you’ll be proud of me.”
Nian Xi bit her lips tightly. She could not bear to say a word, afraid that she might break down if she opened her mouth.
Luosang sighed gently, wiping away a tear at the corner of her eye. She was moved by the scene in front of her as well.
The peace and lives of ordinary people like her probably depended on the sacrifices of the police and scientists, as well as their altruistic contributions.
