Thinking of these words, Li Yan couldn't help but blush!

"Did you... give me a blood transfusion?" Yue Yao finally asked.

Even though what he said to his friend made her both excited and shy, she still wanted to clarify the "blood transfusion for her" part.

"Yeah. I was afraid the blood from the blood bank wouldn't be fresh enough, and they didn't know who donated or sold it. If it was transfused into your body and made you weaker, it wouldn't be good. I thought my blood would be better!" Li Yan said with a smile, deliberately posing like a bodybuilder, showing off his biceps to demonstrate his strength.

Yue Yao moved her hand and stretched it forward.

Li Yan saw the look in her eyes, understood her intentions, and placed her hand on his face.

Yue Yao gently stroked his face and softly said, "I've already bled. Why waste more? It's not good for your health. Look, you're already looking much more haggard..."

Li Yan rolled his eyes at her: "You know bleeding isn't good for your health? Then why did you shield me? You think taking a bullet is good for your body?"

Even though his tone was complaining, Yue Yao knew he mainly didn't want to see her sacrifice for him. She chuckled softly: "It was an unconscious action... At most... next time, I'll ask for your opinion first..."

Next time? Li Yan would never allow there to be a next time!

"How much blood did you donate for me?"

Hearing this, Li Yan figured that if he said very little, she wouldn't believe it, so he exaggerated on purpose: "Not much, just ten or eight pounds!"

"..." Yue Yao was speechless, ten or eight pounds! You think you're a cow or something?

"What? You want to repay me? Don't tell me in the future when you have that every month, you'll pay me back in installments?" Li Yan blurted out one of Zheng Yixuan's crude jokes.

Yue Yao was momentarily stunned before realizing what he meant, feeling very embarrassed about the suggestion.

"Alright, don't think too much." Li Yan lovingly stroked her face, softly saying, "You risked your life for me; what does giving you a little blood matter? Between us, do we need to draw lines?"

Yue Yao felt a stirring in her heart, yes, between us, do we need to distinguish so clearly? If I were in danger, he would surely save me that way too! If he were shot and lost too much blood, I would certainly transfuse blood to him! Partners, close friends, assistants, soul mates... no matter what identity we interact with, we're already tied together!

After hearing Li Yan say he was married and after meeting Zhang Yurong in S City, Yue Yao felt for a while that they were no longer dependent on each other, that he was drifting further away, and that one day, she would completely lose him! At that time, she thought long and hard and finally made a decision. Since Li Yan wanted a normal life, it was impossible to keep him, and if she competed or sabotaged, it would only lead to his disdain.

Since the result was destined to be this way, since one day she would completely lose him, she wanted to make him as happy as possible before losing him and prepare more for his future... so she chose not to protect Zhang Yurong from the shadows but weaved an excuse of heartbreak to approach Zhang Yurong as an online friend. After coming to their house and learning about their actual relationship, she fully supported bringing them closer.

In her heart, she had given up her future. She only hoped that after losing him, many years later, he might occasionally remember her...

Even if she could never be with Li Yan in the future, she was prepared to remain unmarried for life; she might even stay in the same city as him and occasionally look from afar at him with his happy family. So that night, she boldly wanted to give herself to him, even if it couldn't leave a good impression, at least she wouldn't have regrets. But that night was still full of regrets. And the longer she spent with them, the closer their relationship became, making it harder for her to let go.

Yet at this moment, Yue Yao felt a kind of epiphany!

Yes, do we need to distinguish between each other? His life can be my life, his existence is also my existence. As long as he's safe, I'm at ease; as long as he's happy, I'm happy. No distinction between us, so losing isn't a concern!

At this moment, she was no longer afraid of ever losing Li Yan. In each other's hearts, they are interdependent. Even if physically apart, their hearts will be together!

"I'm very happy, I'll get stronger!"

She suddenly said out of nowhere and lifted her hand forcefully, making Li Yan quickly grab it, "What are you doing? Be careful or you'll bleed again from the wound!"

In response to his reproach, Yue Yao only smiled: "Your blood has already merged with mine, which means you've already entered my body, which means a part of your genes lives within me and will never be separated because they've already fused. Even if one day we're apart, you'll forever live within me! Aren't you strong? Your blood will certainly make me stronger after recovery, so I'm very happy..."

Li Yan looked into her eyes, and this time she didn't avoid him. He felt that she was speaking from her heart, which filled him with emotion. However, the metaphor 'you've already entered my body' made him sweat a little.
