Ya Shitian lowered his gaze and said solemnly, "Only by killing him will all this end."
"..." Ye Anqi tentatively said, "If he could let go of his hatred..."
"He can't let go." Ya Shitian interrupted her, "He carries a heart he shouldn't have, but can't abandon. If he doesn't vent, he'll die."
"..."
"Only by killing me will he be freed. Do you want him dead, or me?"
"..." Ye Anqi's eyes flickered; she couldn't answer at all.
Ya Shitian gripped her shoulder.
"Ye Anqi, between him and me, who do you wish to die?"
"I hate death."
"If only one of us could live, who would you want it to be?"
"I also don't like ifs."
"Are you reluctant for him to die?"
Ye Anqi said lightly, "I told you, I don't like death. I don't like anyone dying."
"But only one of us can live. Who do you hope it is?"
Ye Anqi lowered her eyes slightly, "Why must it be you die, and I live?"
She hoped they could both live.
She didn't want to make a choice; she just wanted them both to live...
