“Sizhe, I know that we may not be very close.”

“However, I will always remember that when I was in danger, you were the one who stepped forward to save me. If it weren’t for you and Simiao back then, I don’t know what would have happened to me.”

“Therefore, we should be considered to have experienced life and death together.”

“I can tell that you still like Zi Yan.” Although Jian Dan felt a little guilty towards Lu Ting by asking this as he and Zi Yan were already together after all.

However, Jian Dan did not understand…

In Jian Dan’s eyes, Chu Liyuan’s opinion coincided with hers. She felt that with Zi Yan’s personality, Sizhe seemed to be more suitable for her.

“Do you know that curiosity kills the cat?” Sizhe’s gaze darkened as he looked at Jian Dan. “But seeing that we’ve been through life and death together, I’ll satisfy your curiosity.”

The truth was, this matter had been hidden in Sizhe’s heart for a long time. He had never told anyone about it, so even Chu Liyuan did not know about it.

However, it was really tiring to keep a secret for a long time. Perhaps if he found someone to tell, his psychological knot would slowly be resolved.

“Back then, Zi Yan was devastated and dispirited for a long time after what happened to you. Those who didn’t know better would think that the two of you were a couple,” Sizhe said half-jokingly.

Sizhe was indeed Sizhe. He still had the mood to joke at a time like this.

However, since Sizhe was able to tell her about this matter and even joked about it, it meant that he had probably let it go.

“It took a very long time, and it was also because she became busier with her studies that she managed to slowly move on.”

“At that time, Lu Ting and I were by her side. We knew that she did not have the thought for romance at that time, so we just silently accompanied her every day…”

“You know me. I’m so outstanding, right? How can that blockhead Lu Ting compare to me? I can feel that Zi Yan is slowly accepting me. Although we haven’t confirmed our relationship, we basically have a tacit understanding.”

“Just as Zi Yan and I were about to confirm our relationship, something happened.” It was this incident that caused the subsequent events to change drastically.

“You might not know what Zi Yan did in the past, but you should have heard a little about it, right?”

Jian Dan nodded.

Indeed. Although she did not know what Zi Yan did for a living, she could fathom a guess.

It should be similar to the Special Team that she was a part of back then. They were all military forces that carried out classified missions.

“Zi Yan had once carried out a mission. At that time, someone escaped and came back to take revenge on Zi Yan.”

“If it wasn’t for Lu Ting, you might not have been able to see Zi Yan.”

“Ting took a fatal shot for Zi Yan, leaving a deep mark on his chest.”

“In the face of someone who is willing to sacrifice his life for her, Zi Yan will never do anything to make him sad again.”

Jian Dan could completely understand Zi Yan’s situation because she had the same experience before.

Sometimes, she even wondered if she would have chosen to be with Bing Li if he had not died back then.

How deep must one’s feelings be for one person to die for another?

“Zi Yan was in pain back then. I saw Zi Yan in pain and that made me in pain.”

“I really hated it. Why wasn’t I by Zi Yan’s side back then? Why wasn’t I the one who took the bullet for Zi Yan?”

“But there are no ‘what if’s in this world.”

“I couldn’t watch Zi Yan live in pain all the time, so what I could do back then was… let go.”

Sizhe always looked frivolous on the surface, but he was so selfless on the inside. Jian Dan had no choice but to reevaluate Sizhe.

It turned out that he was not like what outsiders saw..
