Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 619 - 461, Little girl, look, I finally pushed open that window (1st update)

Chapter 619: 461, Little girl, look, I finally pushed open that window (1st update)

He smiled at her like that, a smile so gentle, a smile with no worries, a smile— as if standing in the sunlight.

Shi Nian dared not leave then, instead stepped back, facing him seriously: "Sir, unless you first tell me, how we can both pass through safely in 2 seconds."

"Let’s practice a few times first, I’ll keep time, and if you prove your plan works, we can open the door then."

Huangfu Huazhang shrugged: "Don’t talk nonsense. That designer made it clear, each wire has a different reaction time, leaving us only a slim chance to escape. This time isn’t unlimited, we don’t have time for repeated drills."

"But, Sir!" Shi Nian was so anxious she was about to cry again.

He reached out to gently wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, speaking softly: "Trust me."

Shi Nian eventually lowered her head deeply, hiding her tear-stained face, gripping his shoulders tightly and shaking him: "Please, sir, you must come out safely with me."

"Alright, I will." He nodded with a smile.

As soon as Huangfu Huazhang finished speaking, he raised his voice towards Tang Yanxi: "Lawyer Tang, please notify Mr. Tang and have you two brothers start the timer together on the communication devices. Open the door in 30 seconds!"

There was no time to waste, and Tang Yanxi immediately contacted Tang Yanqing. Then a 30-second countdown began.

Huangfu Huazhang sent Shi Nian up the steps, placing his hands flat on her shoulders, readying himself to push her with all his strength the moment the door opened, ensuring she could pass through smoothly within the 2 seconds.

The 30-second countdown was heart-wrenching, and Shi Nian couldn’t control her emotions.

She had a terrible premonition, but she was powerless to stop time.

She cried quietly, saying softly: "Sir... please talk more with me."

But wanting to say more, how many words could be said in 30 seconds? Moreover, at this moment, Huangfu Huazhang was also highly tense, his mind focused on the countdown by the Tang brothers, waiting for that fleeting gap when the door would open.

Yet he still tried to smile, making every effort to comfort her.

The countdown reached the final 15 seconds. Huangfu Huazhang gathered his strength in his arms, waiting for the moment the door opened.

At this critical juncture, Shi Nian dared not cry anymore. She wiped away her tears and also hooked Huangfu Huazhang’s arm back.

"We’ll leave together!"

She was ready, the moment the door opened, she would drag him out even if it cost her life!

Huangfu Huazhang gently closed his eyes.

His little girl...

In the last 5 seconds, Huangfu Huazhang swiftly lifted her upwards with force, then quickly shouted in her ear: "Remember: what you think about constantly will reverberate back."

What?

What did he mean by that?

From her understanding of him, in such a life-and-death moment, he must mean something extremely important.

But there was no time for her to think it over carefully, as the grinding sound of the door opening came immediately.

After the last second, the door was pulled open from the outside!

Tang Yanqing’s other hand quickly reached in and grabbed Shi Nian.

Shi Nian only felt herself caught between two great forces, one was Tang Yanqing’s strenuous pull and the other was the full force lift from below. Between these two forces, she felt as light as a feather, completely out of control, and could only passively ascend upwards like this.

And just as her body was about to pass through the door in that split-second moment, she suddenly felt the hand she had been gripping Huangfu Huazhang with was having her fingers pried open!

Her body was finally pulled out of the door by Tang Yanqing. Her arms hooked around Tang Yanqing’s neck, then taking advantage of the momentum to look back—

Through the crack of the door, she saw Huangfu Huazhang.

But he was not outside the door, he was still inside!

Shi Nian screamed in terror: "Sir, come out quickly!"

But before she could finish yelling, a strange and dazzling light flashed through the door crack—

As if dozens of suns shone at once, as if dozens of times the sunlight surrounded him.

Amid that dazzling brilliance, she saw him smiling at her.

That smile was one she had never seen so bright, and he, in that brilliance, was also the most radiant she had ever seen him.

She screamed with all her might: "Sir—"

But he himself closed the door, cutting off all the brilliance, and also blocking the explosive force from spreading out of the basement.

.

At the moment the bomb detonated, the flames suddenly engulfed him.

He, like Shi Nian, only saw that blinding light, but seemed unable to hear the sound of the explosion.

He felt so warm, in this moment, sunlight bathed his entire body.

His final glance, he saw her looking back at him. Her long hair fluttered with her turn, so delicate and beautiful it made his heart tremble.

He saw her shouting at him in panic, he knew she was worried about him.

That was enough, it was enough.

This lifetime encounter, no matter what he had done, right or wrong, but at this final moment, she was still worried about him, still hoped he could be safe and sound... that was enough, it was worth his lifelong affection for her.

But he didn’t want to see her cry, even more unwilling to let her witness his last moment being consumed by fire, so he used his last strength, not to escape, but to close that great door.

Let the power of the explosion be blocked by the iron door, so it spreads out slowly. It buys her a bit more time, lets them escape a bit further away.

.

With the door tightly shut, he finally felt at ease, smiling amidst the light.

My little girl, my world, and yours, never were the same one.

So the day and night, black and white, right and wrong in my eyes have been different from yours since I was born.

So please forgive me, I cannot make the same judgments as you, nor easily accept what you deem right and wrong. I can only walk alone in the darkness, relying on my own strength to cross every hurdle blocking the way.

When those difficulties arise, what can aid me isn’t what you consider right or wrong, but only the instinctive choices I make in those critical moments.

Some things, I know I did them wrong, but at the time I had no other choice. To survive, to win, to prove myself, to not have come to this world in vain... I could only make those choices.

But fortunately, no matter what wrong choices I’ve made, for you, I always knew what my final choice should be: if there was only one chance for survival before us, I would certainly leave that opportunity to you.

I know that after saying goodbye today, when you reopen those records, you may be disappointed in me, regret that I never accepted your feelings, never returned to the light.

But my little girl, you don’t understand, I was born in darkness, grew up in darkness, all these years I’ve walked in darkness... when I met you, I had already traveled too far down that dark path, too far.

The darkness had already stained my clothes, had dominated my way of thinking, I was deeply entrenched, unable to turn back anymore.

Furthermore, your relationship with Tang Yanqing is my eternal heart demon. No matter how I want to try, as long as I see the two of you together, I lose all motivation to return.

Because I know, even if I go back, you wouldn’t be there anymore.

So why should I return? In this life, besides you, who else has ever given me warmth and strength? Since the starting point of that path no longer has you, I can only turn back into the darkness, hesitantly, walking farther and farther.

My little girl, do you know who is each person’s greatest enemy in this world? It’s actually themselves.

The truths you want me to know, I understand them all; unfortunately, I cannot control myself, I cannot do it.

So long ago, I thought, if someday in this life I could die for you, that would also be my happiness.

Originally, in this lifetime, everyone has a death; and everything I have done may also need to be compensated with my life, so at the end, let me fulfill your wish in this way.

I give my life, to conclude everything I have done.

And I do this, only because of you.

.

In infinite brightness, Huangfu Hua Zhang closed his eyes with a smile.

In front of him the sun shone brightly, and he was no longer that gloomy man dressed in black, he was still that young man in white sitting under the rose trellis.

Through the bright glass window, he saw that girl walking curiously towards him, smiling at him through the window.

And he finally stood up, reached out and pushed that window open.

He too warmly smiled at her.

Then she extended her hand to him, he held her hand, stepped out of that window himself...

Under the rose flower, sunlight like gold, he looked down smilingly into her eyes.

And she, facing him, smiled like a spring flower.

.

Outside the basement, under the scorching sun and red soil, Tang Yanqing ran desperately with Shi Nian in his arms.

Finally, a loud explosion still burst out of the iron door, sending flames high into the air.

The tremendous shockwave pushed the two to the ground, Tang Yanqing used his body to cover Shi Nian.

Shi Nian blankly watched the direction where the flames rose from the tunnel, closing his eyes deeply.

Sir... have a good journey.

This life, an unexpected encounter, yet I troubled you to worry about me, I’m sorry...

Sir, I know walking alone for so long, you must be tired too. So please rest well, rest well... I will take good care of Jieyou, please, rest in peace.
