Why is my cross-stitch here?

Clasping the tattered cross-stitch with a rose, below which there's an embroidered "Wei" character. It can't be mistaken.

Last time I wanted to give it to Lin Hai, but we fumbled and misunderstood each other.

The cross-stitch appears here, and just now King Yan was holding a bomb and ran to this place...

Everything seems to lead to an inevitable conclusion.

The impossible thought in my mind seemed overwhelmingly real.

"King Yan, he is..."

Queen Qi was stunned, not daring to believe the result she had deduced. The mysterious masked man she had been chasing after, King Yan, turned out to be him.

Tears dribbled down.

Even someone as powerful as him would likely not survive such a high-intensity explosion.

Thinking of this, Queen Qi couldn't help but recall the times she spent with Lin Hai, the memories and sounds flooding back to her like the tide.

Queen Qi remembered the first time she saved Ke'er and caught the human traffickers when he first appeared at the critical moment wearing a bronze mask, his first domineering words: "Who dares to touch her? Have you asked me?"

She also remembered the whole story of when she first captured Lin Hai.

"Haha, someone's underwear is pink."

"Who says I'm a beast? Actually, I'm pure at heart."

"Tsks, I may not look handsome, but I have a kind heart."

"Young men can't be relied on, but a man like me can at least protect his beloved people and things without hesitation, eh? Why do you look so skeptical?"

"Weiwei, you're a good girl, really."

"Ouch, Queen Qi, spare my life."

"Weiwei, actually, I like you too."

Now, he's gone, this place has almost been flattened by the bomb, it's impossible for anyone to have survived.

Just now, I also saw, amidst the blast wave, his black coat drifting in the sky, not knowing where it went...

Queen Qi thought again of just a few hours ago, Lin Hai's innocent eyes, his slightly aggrieved and lonely figure.

"Weiwei, I'm doing this for your good, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

"That person is really unreliable."

"You misunderstand me, I need to explain to you."

"No one can hurt you."

Now recalling how Lin Hai took a slap from her earlier, helpless and silent, with an aggrieved look in his eyes, was heartbreaking.

"I misunderstood him!"

Queen Qi bit her red lips, feeling as if countless needles were pricking her heart.

He had always meant to treat her well, but she had misunderstood him so deeply.

He once said that young men can't be relied on, but she never believed him, thinking it was out of jealousy for the young man's good looks.

He also kindly told her that a real man should protect his beloved people and things without hesitation at the critical moment, yet she scornfully sneered at the time, thinking he was just bluffing.

He still smiled and told himself that although his appearance was that of a beast, his heart was pure as Little Purity. He thought it was just a joke, an act of self-flattery. Now, thinking back, he never truly did anything utterly heartless.

"He must be very heartbroken, very disappointed, right?"

"I am a bad woman, I hurt his heart."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood him."

"He was so kind, yet I slapped him hard across the face."

"I was wrong, terribly wrong."

Queen Qi felt as if her soul and all her strength had been drained, slumping to the ground, tears streaming down her beautiful cheeks.

"No, you are King Yan, you are the King of Assassins, all the assassins in the world fear you, you can't just die like this, you definitely won't..."

A glimmer of hope and determination rose in Queen Qi's eyes, her expression slightly crazed as she lunged into the chaotic small woods, continuously turning over soil and branches, as if looking for something most vital in her life.

"You must be alive."

"You won't die, you'll never die."

"You haven't agreed to be my boyfriend yet, you absolutely can't die."

"I won't let you die."

Queen Qi's hands, known as Qianqian's Jade Hands, were cut by branches while digging through the soil, oozing bright red blood, but she didn't care, right now she only wanted to find that person, the one she once misunderstood.

Nangong Wuyue stared blankly at Queen Qi, who appeared to be in a frenzy. The air was thick with a heart-wrenching emotional undertone.

After a while, Queen Qi, drained of all her strength, had a vacant look in her eyes and murmured to herself: "No, you won't die, I haven't married you yet, you can't die."

"No, I must marry you, be your servant forever, never misunderstand you again, please don't die."

"Where are you, I won't be angry with you anymore, I don't want to be any queen, I just want to be by your side, be your little woman."

"Wuuu, please, don't just leave like this."

Red-rimmed eyes and tearful murmurs filled the silence, void of any response.

There was once a peculiar question: can things that are lost be found again? Some can, while some truly cannot. Once lost, one realizes too late for regret, just how deeply ingrained the person they took for granted was, deep into their heart and bones.

Amidst her muttering, having endured a series of both mental and physical blows, Queen Qi's vision darkened, and just before she fainted, it seemed as if she saw the flashing lights of police cars, the shocked exclamations of colleagues, and the sound of hurried footsteps…

"I will find you. I haven't had the chance to be your girlfriend yet. I won't just let you slip through my fingers so easily, I'll never let you slip away…"

...

Elsewhere.

Star Plate Kui Wood Wolf ran wildly, harnessing all his strength, pushing himself to his fastest pace regardless of whether his body could withstand the strain of such speed.

"My lord, hold on, you must hold on."

Lin Hai was carried on his shoulders, his high-tech black windbreaker, crafted at great expense, tattered and barely clinging to him, his body riddled with numerous bleeding wounds — from his nose, mouth, ears, beneath the eyelids — oozing blood that made one's heart skip a beat, his life hanging in the balance, unconscious.

Just moments ago, after clearing all the surrounding bombs, Kui Wood Wolf had just thought of providing support to Lin Hai, when he saw the person he most revered holding a time bomb and rushing madly into a small grove, followed by an explosion.

He immediately charged over, and in the blast, he used his body to shield Lin Hai from a branch thrusting towards Lin Hai's heart due to the impact.

In order to avoid detection by Huadu's police and military forces, Kui Wood Wolf, enduring agonizing pain, carried Lin Hai as fast as he could to escape the scene.

At the Star Plate nightclub in Huadu, concealed in darkness, the door was kicked open, and at that moment, there were no customers and it was temporarily closed.

"Bilina, come out quickly."

"My lord, please hold on," Kui Wood Wolf's face was etched with urgency.
