Ou Jue knelt on one knee, a fist pressed against the ground, his body swaying uneasily, as if he might collapse at any moment.
Meanwhile, Lisa started counting down, "Ten, nine, eight—"
As she counted down, Xiyan's eyes stayed fixed on Ou Jue.
Her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
Maybe it was because her life hung in the balance.
Or perhaps it was Anna's words, "Never step back."
Or maybe she just wanted to prove Anna wrong, to show that whether it was the first personality Ou Jue, or the second was actually Ou Jue.
He was the Ou Jue who loved her, Xia Xiyan, the most.
No one could steal him away.
She believed in Ou Jue.
Lisa continued counting down, each number seemed to grip the heart of everyone present, "Five, four, three—"
Beside her, Anna clenched her hands, watching Ou Jue anxiously.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Ou Jue frowned, damn it, his brain hurt.
It was a pain that felt like tearing him apart.
