Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Divine Hidden Crane wishes to keep you by his side, to become the most special presence in your heart. I too have such despicable and selfish thoughts. But upon reflection, I realized that it’s wrong. Because you are Xu Xingguang, you are a girl with determination who won’t give up halfway even when kneeling and crawling. My love shouldn’t be a stumbling block in your path, but rather a driving force pushing you forward.”

Huo Wen’an kissed the back of Xu Xingguang’s hand and said, ”Xu Xingguang, you just move forward without hesitation, and I will strive to chase after you, racing towards the finish line.”

Xu Xingguang is a beautiful and formidable wild goose.

Huo Wen’an has come to understand that Divine Hidden Crane’s love is abnormal. His love for Xu Xingguang is like wanting to lock this wild goose in a cage, within sight, for easy appreciation and pampering.

But the destination of the wild goose is the deep sky.

If one truly loves this wild goose, they should use their own hands to help her fly toward a vaster sky. From then on, the sky she soars in is where Huo Wen’an’s heart belongs.

Upon hearing these words from Huo Wen’an, Xu Xingguang was moved.

How strange, people feel heartache when they are upset, and they also feel heartache when they are happy and loved.

At this moment, Xu Xingguang’s heart aches faintly.

”Do you know?” Xu Xingguang released Huo Wen’an, walked to the railing, leaned against it, and while peeling off candy wrapper, said while looking down, ”I’ve been walking this road for so many years, and you are the first to tell me to move forward without looking back, and that you will always chase after me.”

She put the candy wrapper into her mouth, Xu Xingguang watched the candy rotate within her mouth, its cool texture stimulating the outer layer of her scalp.

She said, ”I have encountered all kinds of men and women, and when they loved me, they always wanted to grab my legs and bind me to them. But they’ve all forgotten, love isn’t one person’s business, but affection is.”

She turned around and threw a candy to Huo Wen’an.

Huo Wen’an pinched the candy and asked her, ”So what’s your answer?”

Xu Xingguang’s lips curled upwards, her smile radiant and beautiful.

”Huo Wen’an, I won’t stop for you forever, but if you get tired running, call out to me, I’ll turn back and give you a hand, and together we will reach the end.”

”Huo Wen’an, I permit you to become the male lead in my story.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Wen’an finally felt at ease.

He peeled off the candy wrapper, held up the candy to the morning sun, releasing brilliant rays. He said, ”This is a wedding candy.”

He ate the candy, stood up, and wrapped his arms around Xu Xingguang’s waist, enclosing her between his chest and the railing.

Gazing at Xu Xingguang’s slender and powerful waist, Huo Wen’an said, ”Your waist is even slimmer than in my dreams, but in my dreams, you never responded to me.”

Divine Hidden Crane had countless dreams about Lin Piaopiao, but in those dreams, Lin Piaopiao always displayed a cold demeanor of ’Don’t touch me, I just want to lead troops to battle’.

Xu Xingguang hooked her hand around Huo Wen’an’s neck, lifted her head and met his nose tip to nose tip, she said, ”The real Xu Xingguang will certainly embrace and kiss you warmly.”

With that, she kissed Huo Wen’an, the cool mint candy unable to suppress the heat within them.

At eight thirty, Zheng Lie and his group landed on Siwei Town’s helipad by helicopter.

Arriving at the town mayor’s office, Zheng Qin asked Shenyin Tang, ”Mayor, are Lord Captain and Miss Xu doing alright?”

Shenyin Tang pointed to a railing on the fifth floor of Welcome Building facing the sea and said, ”All is well; earlier I even saw Lord Captain and Miss Xu kissing.”

The people of Siwei Town, known for their bold customs, considered kissing a pure and sacred expression of love.

There was no need to hide or shy away from it.

Zheng Qin bit into a lollipop, turned back to the expressionless Zheng Lie and said, ”Being able to kiss, it seems their health is fine.”

Zheng Lie’s face flushed red.

Cheng Yue asked, ”What about Young Master Song Chi?”

”He’s staying on the fourth floor.” Shenyin Tang led them to Song Chi’s room.

Song Chi was talking on the phone with Bai Xi.

He left Zheng Lie and the others sitting in the small living room outside the bedroom, continued chatting with Bai Xi for a while, then ended the video call and came to the small living room.

”Are all of you alright?” Song Chi asked, concerned about their situation at Central Cave.

Nodding, Zheng Lie said, ”We had no casualties, but Central Cave has collapsed, filled with seawater, and soon it will become a lake on the island.”

”It’s good to have no casualties.”
