Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Big Brother in Danger_1

But how could Xia Changyi possibly let her sacrifice herself in such a way for him? His eyes were nearly splitting with fury, his pupils almost bursting out in anger. He screamed wildly at the villains, saying, "Enough! You just want my life, don’t you? Take it then, but why bully a woman!"

Even though his relationship with Liu Ying wasn’t great on normal days, amounting to nothing more than a nod of acknowledgment, she was now ready to make such a huge sacrifice for him.

How could Xia Changyi remain indifferent in the face of that?

He tried several times to break free from the thugs’ grasp, but it was all in vain.

Soon, Liu Ying’s pained cries began to fill the alley...

The previously utterly distraught Xia Changyi suddenly froze as if someone had struck a pressure point on him, motionless, keeping his ferocious expression of extreme rage.

It then slowly turned into a bundle of dead silence and despair.

In the alley, Liu Ying’s sobs continued to torment Changyi’s body and soul like a knife.

No one knew how long it was before those sounds ceased.

The gang of thugs wiped the corners of their mouths, revealing satisfied smiles, "Seeing as your little girlfriend has satisfied us so well, I’ll be magnanimous and let you both go!"

Saying this, the ringleader walked away.

The thugs holding down Xia Changyi also released their grip and pushed him towards Liu Ying.

"Ah!" When she saw him, Liu Ying cried out in shock, quickly wrapping her clothes tightly around herself and shrinking back in terror.

Although she covered herself quickly, Xia Changyi still saw the marks on her body...

And there was also a piercing crimson on the ground.

But there were no wounds on her body, which meant this was...!!!

Xia Changyi immediately closed his eyes in agony, his fingers clenched into fists, veins bulging, and he slapped himself hard.

It was him! He had caused her harm!

He had made her, a pure and innocent girl, end up like this!

"Changyi, what are you doing!" Liu Ying screamed, rushing over to stop him from hurting himself, eyes brimming with tears, "Did I save you just so you could harm yourself?"

She tightly gripped his hand, her face a mixture of pain and anger as she stared at him.

"Do you want to make my rescue pointless!"

Facing her accusation, Changyi didn’t even have the courage to meet her eyes and could only choke out a few words, "I’m sorry... I’ve dragged you down with me."

"What do you mean, dragged down? I’ve never thought that way because I did it all willingly." As she spoke, Liu Ying couldn’t help but start sobbing quietly, "Changyi, I’ve never regretted sacrificing myself to save you, it’s just that, I just don’t know what to do in the future..."

In that era, a woman’s honor was so important.

Yet for him, she had lost it.

Liu Ying wept even more fiercely, her shoulders trembling nonstop.

In the end, from who knows where, she produced a knife and turned it towards her own abdomen, "I can’t face living anymore!"

"Liu Ying! What are you doing!" Startled, Xia Changyi immediately knocked the knife from her hand, preventing her self-harming action.

He gripped her shoulders, closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath, and made a difficult decision, "You’ve become like this while saving me; I will take responsibility for you."

"I, Xia Changyi, may not fall in love with you in this life, but I’m willing to provide a shoulder for you to lean on."

Xia Changyi spoke slowly, pausing many times to catch his breath.

She had lost something so precious for him; by rights and by emotions, he couldn’t just abandon her.
