He only managed to get one word out before his voice caught again.
His hand came to rest on her fair, beautiful face, but he only gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "It's nothing. I'm just a little worried about you. If the sea disaster really happens in half a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
'I can take you away. We can go further inland and find a safe place,' he wanted to say. But Gu Yin understood that this city was An Jin's life's work. She would never abandon it.
"Are you preparing to evacuate now?" he asked, seeing that she had been packing for some time.
"I am leaving, but I'm not evacuating to a safe place. I'm going to the deep sea."
"What... The deep sea?!"
