Su Nuo gently walked to Xiao Yue's bed and reached out to hold Xiao Yue's hand, but stopped in midair. After a while, she still put it down. Su Nuo stood beside Xiao Yue and stared at him.

Looking at Xiao Yue's pale face without blood, Su Nuo remembered the oath she had sworn and the heartache she she felt when she saw Xiao Yue's knife wound. All the memories made Su Nuo's heart dull and painful. She could not free herself, could not let go, and was even more unwilling to let go.

'"Xiao Yue," Su Nuo muttered to Xiao Yue, "I know you can't hear me now, but I still want to apologize to you. I said so many heartless words to you that day and hurt you."

'I know that you love me. I really know that I love you, too. I love you more than you feel. But I feel that no matter how hard I try, I can't do it and I can't accept being with someone who is destined to leave me in the future. I'm scared, scared that another girl who is better than me will appear next to you.'

'"Xiao Yue, perhaps as time goes by, my love for you will slowly overcome this fear and allow me to love you without any scruples, but I really can't do it now. I'm sorry, Xiao Yue, please forgive me. I really love you too."

'"I'm sorry, Xiao Yue, I'm such a timid and cowardly person. I promised that I would stay with you no matter how much I suffer. I still broke my oath. Xiao Yue, if I wasn't an orphan, if your surname wasn't Xiao, would we be able to continue walking?"

'"You said that I would give you some time. You're willing to prove to me that you can protect me, but I don't want to see you get hurt again. Xiao Yue, hurry up and get better. I'm leaving, I can't accompany you anymore."

After saying those words, Su Nuo left Xiao Yue's ward without looking back. She constantly reminded herself to adhere to her own principles, to insist on defending her heart, not letting it wantonly overflow with love for Xiao Yue, only in this way would it be the best outcome for Xiao Yue and herself.

The next day, after the three of them handed the report to the commander, Du Ye suggested that everyone visit Xiao Yue at the hospital to see how he was now.

"How about we call Fei Mo, Zhen Ni and the others to visit Xiao Yue together?" After Du Ye came out of the commander's office, he made his own suggestion to Su Nuo and Xiang Feng.

"Of course," Xiang Feng agreed immediately. "I must go. He is our captain."

Su Nuo, who was standing at the side, did not say anything. She just walked towards the elevator on her own.

"Su Nuo, aren't you going to see Xiao Yue?" Du Ye felt that it was a little strange. The one who should want to visit Xiao Yue the most was Su Nuo. However, not only was she not active, she was also very repulsive.

'"I'm not going," Su Nuo didn't turn around. She just stood there with her back to Du Ye and said, "Let him rest quietly and recuperate properly. If I go, I'm afraid he won't be able to recuperate properly, and I've already been there."

"Have you been there?" Du Ye asked doubtfully, "When?"

Su Nuo did not answer Du Ye's question and directly walked into the elevator and left.

A strange feeling arose in Du Ye's heart.

The two of them seemed to have quarreled over that matter. Su Nuoming still looked unwilling to pay attention to Xiao Yue, but secretly, he did not care less about Xiao Yue.

Why was this? Du Ye felt that he couldn't understand Su Nuo.

While Du Ye was still confused, everyone had gathered together and was ready to visit Xiao Yue.

"Xiao Yue, you're awake!" Fei Mo saw that Xiao Yue was awake, so he pushed open the door and walked in. "We were originally thinking that if you hadn't woken up, we would have returned home. Looks like your physique is really not ordinary."

Xiao Yue smiled faintly. Although he was awake, he was severely injured, so he was still a little powerless to speak. "You're all here."

Standing at the side, Du Ye saw that Xiao Yue's line of sight was wandering. He was obviously looking for someone. Although it was only a short second or two, he noticed that Xiao Yue's eyes were obviously filled with a trace of disappointment.

"How are you feeling?" Du Ye asked with concern, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Fortunately, it's just boring," Xiao Yue didn't want everyone to worry too much about him. "There's nothing else you can do except sleep. In the future, you have to come and chat with me when you have nothing else to do."

"Of course," Du Ye saw that Xiao Yue's expression was not very good, but he could still speak like this. It seemed that there was no problem. "As long as there was no mission, I would often come and chat with you."

After that, everyone exchanged a few words and saw that Xiao Yue was still a little dispirited, so he left when he needed to rest. Just as everyone was leaving, Xiao Yue gently pulled Du Ye's clothes and signaled him to stay.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Du Ye saw Xiao Yue's hesitant expression.

Xiao Yue waited until everyone had left before handing the item in his hand to Du Ye. "This, help me return it to Su Nuo and tell her that you are not allowed to take it down again."

Du Ye looked at the pendant in Xiao Yue's hand and said, "This should be something Su Nuo gave you because she wanted you to get better quickly. I saw that day that she followed the doctor who brought you down and put this on for you."

"I know that she did it for my own good, but I also understand what she meant by giving me this pendant. That's why I want you to give it back to her. She wants to draw a clear line with me, Xiao Yue. It's not that easy to end it with me." Xiao Yue's voice was short of breath, but it carried an unquestionable determination.

"She wants to end this with you?" Du Ye was surprised to hear this.

"Yes, but I won't let her do that. She is already my Xiao Yue's person, so I won't allow her to go back on her word. Furthermore, I've already made up my mind." Xiao Yue knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer. He had to make up his mind on this matter.

"What determination?" Du Ye guessed that Xiao Yue was planning something again.

"I want to leave the Xiao Clan completely," Xiao Yue felt that this was the only way to make Su Nuo completely relieved.

Du Ye simply couldn't believe Xiao Yue's words, "You, what are you going to do?"

"Du Ye, last night, Su Nuo told me a lot, She thought I was asleep and wouldn't hear her, Actually, I was always awake. I knew everything she said, so I couldn't hesitate any longer. I wanted to reassure her that she didn't feel uneasy or afraid when she was with me anymore. Xiao Yue only thought of what Su Nuo said to him last night, and Xiao Yue felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle.

"You, what do you want to do?" Du Ye couldn't figure out what Xiao Yue was doing.
