In his heart, he was silently reciting a phrase.
"In times of crisis, watch over each other, and serve as each other's shield!"
Perhaps at the time, Fang Che didn't realize that his casual comment—made while thinking that "Ding Jie Ran is a seed of the Yemo Sect"—had such a significant impact on Ding Jie Ran.
This phrase.
Was the warmest thing Ding Jie Ran had heard since closing off his heart.
Because: in times of crisis.
What is a time of crisis?
It's a matter of life and death.
Watch over each other, and serve as each other's shield.
He felt that this was what comrades were, what friends were.
When his entire family betrayed the Continent and became little demons, someone said this to him.
This was the only warmth in his lonely heart.
So before the sparring tournament fight, Ding Jie Ran had already, in his one-sided wish, regarded Fang Che as a friend.
All the way until now.
Fang Che, up until now in Ding Jie Ran's life, was the only friend he had.
