Chapter 188: One Night of an Absurd Mistake

That man was shuddering with fear. He looked desolate upon hearing Mu Xichen’s words.

He had not said anything before a gunshot sounded.

Blood splattered on Li Beinian.

Meanwhile, Mu Xichen’s enemy looked down at his chest in disbelief. Blood spewed from his mouth as well.

He landed heavily on the ground.

Li Beinian was in a pair of shorts. The blood flowed down her thighs and the warmth disgusted her.

She could feel her legs go into jelly.

She’d lived for so many years and witnessed so much.

But this was the first time someone died right before her.

Completely out of her expectations.

Then, she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her.

Li Beinian held his arm and her face went pale as she said, “There’s someone else here!”

Mu Xichen’s eyes softened.

But he quickly looked in the distance and said, “Stay behind me.”

It was an order.

Li Beinian tried to calm herself down as she kept his back to his.

“How’s your view?”

It was a deep voice.

Li Beinian tried to react to his question. “Not too bad.”

“Now, we have to get out of here.” His voice was magnetic and steady. “But there is another gunman in the forest. We have to find him. If he doesn’t die, we’ll be the ones who end up dead. Get it?”

“Got it.” Li Beinian shook herself to stay alert.

They were in the open while the enemy was in hiding, it was hard to tell where he could be.

But thankfully, the forest wasn’t too dense.

The two people had their backs to each other as they slowly made their way..

This was a familiar experience.

Her back against his, she felt so safe.

This was something completely new, and yet she felt as if she’d experienced this before.

In her last life, she’d been a car accident.

After that, she’d lost a small part of her memory.

Maybe, this was part of that lost memory?

But… in her last life, besides that one night of an absurd mistake with Mu Xichen, they never had other interactions.

Who could it have been with?

Li Beinian was really confused. She suddenly whispered, “Mu Xichen.”

“Yes.”

It was a quiet voice.

Without the laziness of the past.

But the steadiness in his voice scared her.

She wanted to ask him something, but after calling for him, Li Beinian suddenly had no idea what she should be saying.

She kept quiet for a moment and then said, “You still owe me a gift.”

Mu Xichen felt a part of his heart soften. “Mm.”

Right then, he saw a barrel above them, pointed directly at Li Beinian.

The gunman gave him a thumbs-up as if realizing that he had been seen by Mu Xichen.

Mu Xichen quietly but quickly said, “Be careful!”

Li Beinian had not reacted in time when someone pushed her downwards.

“Swoosh—”

A bullet cut through the air, leaving a hole in the ground.

Li Beinian had never met someone like that who meant real business.

Looking toward where the sound came from, she saw a black gun barrel pointed at her.

Li Beinian’s hair stood on end.
