"How could I not come?" Jack's voice was shameless, almost mocking, but beneath it lingered a faint trace of sincerity. "Even if I were to die, I'd still return just to see your eyes one last time." His gaze locked onto Su Yueming's, sharp yet warm, leaving no space for retreat.
"Nauseating," Su Yueming muttered bluntly, her lips tightening in irritation. She tried to sound disgusted, but her heartbeat betrayed her, thudding unevenly in her chest.
Tessa, standing off to the side, covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. She was clearly enjoying the awkward tension. "Elder sister, don't listen to his nonsense. He always talks like this." Her eyes sparkled mischievously.
But Su Yueming frowned, uncomfortable. "Are the two of you really that close? You seem… far too familiar." Her tone was sharp, like she was cutting into the air between them.
Tessa shoved Jack's arm with a grin. "Elder sister is jealous!"
Jack tilted his head, smirking as he stepped closer to Su Yueming. "Such heavy emotions. Such possessiveness. Looks like someone needs to be comforted." His teasing tone was half-playful, half-serious.
"A hug for elder sister? Or maybe even a kiss?" Tessa's voice rang out mischievously, her tone deliberately provocative.
"You—what nonsense are you spouting?!" Su Yueming snapped, her face heating up.
Before she could retreat, Jack suddenly pulled her into his arms. His strength was overwhelming, his embrace firm. "Still so stubborn and argumentative… can't you admit you've missed me?" His breath brushed against her ear, warm and unsettling.
"You bastard!" she retorted, her voice trembling. "Who would ever miss you?" But despite her words, she didn't push him away. Her body betrayed her, caught between resistance and silent longing.
Tessa crossed her arms, her expression playful but knowing. "Elder sister, you're lying to yourself. These past few days, you've been worried sick. You've grown thin, your complexion pale. Do you think I can't see it?"
"Tessa, you're talking nonsense again!" Su Yueming's face turned scarlet, her composure cracking.
"Am I?" Jack asked, lips curling into a grin that was equal parts arrogant and infuriating.
"No! Tessa's just making things up!" Su Yueming turned her face away, refusing to meet his eyes.
Jack raised one hand, cupping her cheek gently but firmly. "That stubborn mouth of yours… it deserves a proper punishment." His thumb brushed across her lips, lingering deliberately.
"Why do you always—" Su Yueming began, but before she could finish, Jack silenced her. His lips crashed onto hers with unyielding force.
"Mmm—!" Su Yueming's eyes widened in shock, her hands pressing against his chest. She struggled, but her strength was useless against his. Her protest melted into muffled sounds, her pride clashing with the flutter in her heart.
From the side, Tessa watched, her expression shifting rapidly. Jealousy burned in her chest, followed by confusion, then a strange sense of relief. Her thoughts spiraled. Elder sister… if it's her, then maybe it's alright. She's kind, strong, and good. I can't bear to see her sad. If it's her, then I can accept it. Yes… if it's elder sister, then it doesn't matter.
At last, Jack released Su Yueming. Her face was crimson, her breath uneven. She glared at him with all the strength she could muster. "You… you bastard…"
Jack smirked. "Still not satisfied?"
"Of course not! Your breath stinks!"
"Oh? And yet you let me kiss you for so long. If I stank that badly, wouldn't you have pushed me away? You're lying to yourself, Su Yueming."
"You—!" Flustered beyond words, Su Yueming shoved him roughly.
But Tessa stepped forward, fire in her eyes. "I'm jealous too! You kissed her for so long… I want my turn!"
"Fine! Take him!" Su Yueming snapped, pushing Jack toward Tessa with a red face.
Jack didn't hesitate. He lowered his head and captured Tessa's lips. Unlike Su Yueming, Tessa responded without resistance. She kissed him back eagerly, her arms wrapping around his neck.
The wet sound of their kiss filled the air. Su Yueming clenched her fists tightly. Irritation swelled in her chest. Shameless… absolutely shameless! Her pride screamed, but her heart ached in ways she couldn't explain.
"You two—are you seriously going to fool around here?!" she shouted, her voice sharp enough to cut through the moment.
Startled, Tessa broke away instantly, her cheeks burning red. "It's… it's nothing!"
Jack scratched the back of his head with a sheepish laugh, his hand slipping guiltily away from Tessa's chest. "Heh, maybe I got carried away." But inwardly, he couldn't deny it—fighting on the Great Wall wasn't the only thought on his mind.
Tessa quickly adjusted her clothes, avoiding her sister's glare. "Elder sister, you're so annoying!"
"You little brat, don't forget yourself!" Su Yueming snapped, smacking her lightly on the arm.
"Ow! That hurt!" Tessa pouted, rubbing the spot.
Nearby, Crosshairs sighed dramatically. He sat cross-legged, his metal frame heavy against the ancient stones. "Human relationships are such a mess. Never thought even the boss would get tangled up in this sentimental nonsense."
Su Yueming tore her gaze from the squabbling sisters and turned coldly to Jack. "You're wanted across the entire globe, yet you dare to appear here so openly. Aren't you afraid of being captured?"
"Yeah," Tessa chimed in. "The U.S. suspects you're deeply connected to the Transformers war. They've issued a global warrant for your arrest. Naturally, they blame you for everything."
Jack gave a careless shrug. "And so what? Let them issue their warrants. Who dares to actually arrest me? Do they even know who my father is?"
"You're insufferable," Su Yueming said with biting sarcasm.
"Little Bright," Jack said suddenly, turning toward her, his brow arched. "Do you still remember what you told me that day? You said… as long as I live, you—"
"Don't call me Little Bright!" Su Yueming interrupted, her cheeks flushing. She turned her head quickly. "What did I say? I forgot."
"I remember!" Tessa chimed in eagerly, clapping her hands. "Elder sister said she'd always stay by your side!"
Su Yueming's eyes darted nervously. "Did I really say that?"
Jack leaned closer, his grin wolfish. "Don't think you can deny it. Whether you remember or not, you're mine. You won't escape me."
"Hmph. Do whatever you want. I don't care." Her voice trembled, but her eyes betrayed her—filled with determination and something softer.
Jack's expression softened as he turned toward the horizon. The sun was slowly rising, painting the Great Wall in hues of gold. His smile faltered. "This sun… I won't be able to see it again for much longer."
Su Yueming froze. A chill ran down her spine. Is he… going to die?
"Why?" Tessa asked quickly, her voice trembling. "Jack, what's happening? Why won't you see it again?"
"Because I'll be leaving," Jack said quietly. "In just one minute."
"Leaving? Where?" Tessa's eyes widened with fear. "If you're leaving this world… if you're going to another planet, then I'll go with you! No matter where you go!"
Jack looked at her tenderly. "Good. That's what I wanted to hear. Wherever we go, we'll always be together."
His gaze shifted to Su Yueming. "And you, Little Bright? What about you?"
Her teeth clenched. "Hateful! Stop calling me that! But… bastard, don't think you can leave me behind. As long as you don't die, I'll follow you!" Her voice rang with fierce determination, her eyes blazing.
"I like it when you speak like that," Jack murmured with a rare smile.
"Boss," Crosshairs interjected, his tone half-joking, half-serious. "You're not going to ditch me here, right?"
"Relax. My women need a ride. Of course I'll take you."
"Boss, that hurts. Am I only good for being a carriage?"
"What else do you want to be?" Jack shrugged.
Suddenly, the deep thrum of helicopter blades echoed through the air. Three helicopters appeared, circling above, while squads of soldiers marched swiftly along the Great Wall.
"Jack, they're here!" Tessa cried out, panic in her voice. "They're after Crosshairs. We have to leave!"
Jack's eyes hardened. In his palm, a brilliant blue light flared—the AllSpark.
"What's that?!" Su Yueming gasped.
"Just put your hands on it. Crosshairs, yours is too big—just one finger will do."
Though none of them knew what he planned, Su Yueming, Tessa, and Crosshairs obeyed without hesitation.
"Three… two… one…" Jack's voice was calm, but resolute. A glowing halo expanded from the cube, engulfing them in radiant light.
"This is—!" Su Yueming's eyes widened.
In the next instant, the Great Wall, the soldiers, and the helicopters all vanished from view. Only light remained. Then, in a single flash, Jack and the others were gone.
