Lin Xian stepped forward and hugged Zhao Yingjun.
"Actually..."
He said softly:
"I've hesitated too."
"When I first learned about this, all I could think about was you and Yu Xi. I even thought about just getting infected by the virus and staying in this era, doing everything I could to save this world... "
Zhao Yingjun shook her head:
"If you really didn't tell me about this, I wouldn't blame you."
"But... in that case, Huang Que would have sacrificed in vain, Chu Anqing's jump from the airplane at 20,000 meters wouldn't matter either, and the Space-Time Particle she helped you capture would be meaningless."
"[If we had decided to give up saving the future earlier and ignore the World-Ending White Light... why did we hold on until now to abandon it?]"
"Giving up can happen anytime, it's really not difficult; it's all about persuading one's inner self. But persevering with courage and sacrifice is the hardest thing."
"I am also very reluctant to lose you, Lin Xian."
