"You?"
"Me."
"You, you, you?"
"Me, me, me." Su Zimai glared at him.
"Alright, good luck," said Gu Wenyu. "But don't push yourself too hard, or in a few days you'll end up like big brother and wash your hands of it all."
Su Zimai lowered her head, saying nothing.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said quietly, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and this time I might really be gone for a long, long time. I might not even return for the start of school."
"Why?"
"We've been targeted by some very dangerous people," said Su Zimai. "Last time, my friend was almost killed by them. If it wasn't for luck, if they hadn't been caught, he'd be dead."
"Dangerous people?" Gu Wenyu muttered, "The kind you can't tell me about?"
Su Zimai nodded.
"Then why not tell big brother? He's so strong, he can definitely protect you."
"I don't want to involve him. Brother is already very tired, I don't want him to worry about me. Moreover, even in front of those people, maybe even he..."
