"Why? You want to protect me?"

Eve stared at Fang Zheng silently, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, while Fang Zheng smiled and shrugged.

"Because you are a cute little girl. It is my credo to be gentle to beautiful girls."

"But...you're bleeding."

Eve shifted her gaze and stared at Fang Zheng's left hand hanging by his side. Blood flowed down his fingers and dripped to the ground.

"This is the consequence of choice."

"The...consequences of your choice?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng smiled again.

"Isn't it the same for you, little miss? You chose not to fight, so you were shot by that person. And I chose to protect you, so I was injured. This is the consequence. You made the choice, and you have to bear it.

The consequences are like this."

Having said this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course, you can also choose to listen to that guy and fight me. I can also choose not to protect you and let you be hit by him. Maybe you can avoid it, maybe you can block it - after all, they are not saying what you are.

Weapons, maybe the bullets won't hurt you at all."

"That……………"

"But that's only if."

Fang Zheng raised his left hand again and waved at Eve.

"There are no ifs in reality. The reality is that we all made our own choices, and then we faced the consequences of our choices. It's that simple."

Hearing this, Eve's eyes moved slightly again, and at the same time, the sound of police sirens was faintly heard in the distance.

"That guy Linslet made things so big that it's hard for me to escape now."

Hearing the sirens, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, and then he looked at Eve again.

"So, I'm leaving, what about you?"

"……………………"

Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Eve stared at him, then lowered her head and looked at her hands, and then she raised her head again.

"I want to... follow you."

After saying this, the girl's mouth curved slightly.

"This is... my choice, is it okay?"

Hearing Eve's answer, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and extended his right hand to her.
