"No... Lin Gang, you freak!"
There was hardly any time to react, so I instinctively shielded my belly with my palms.
In the blink of an eye.
The sharp claws pierced through the back of my hand, causing a sharp pain that made breathing difficult.
But there was no pain on my stomach for a long time.
Through my blurry vision, I faintly saw a hunched figure swaying unsteadily in front of me.
Furry arms had pierced through his back, and he was gripping Lin Gang's fox-like arm with both hands.
At the most critical moment, Lin Huan stood in front of me.
Now he was sneering, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, "Heh... I've been wise my whole life, and yet I've fathered a scourge like you..."
At the same time, the door of the dormitory was kicked open from the outside.
Lin Gang, seeing the bad turn of events, pulled out his bloody fox-arm and jumped out of the window.
"Lin... Lin Huan..." I wanted to support the old man's swaying body, but like a kite with its string cut, he slowly fell.
My tears uncontrollably gushed out, and I dropped to my knees beside Lin Huan, pressing my hands firmly against that terrible wound, "You... you're okay, right... why... why do this..."
"Have you guys been ambushed? Where's Lin Gang?" asked Yu Longting, kneeling on one knee beside me, his tone gentle and soft.
I looked at Yu Longting helplessly, my face streaked with tears, "Don't worry about Lin Gang, save... save him... He was seriously injured saving Dumpling and me..."
"What does this old man's injury have to do with you? It was his own choice to interrogate with you, and now you're both injured because of it." Yu Longting picked up my wounded hand, the white of bone visible, his eyes filled with the intent to kill.
Seeing that he only cared about me and completely ignored whether Lin Huan lived or died, I shouted in anger, "Yu Longting!! He saved your son, if it weren't for him, Dumpling would be gone..."
"Alright, my wife, don't cry, I'm here, and I won't let this old man die," Yu Longting wrapped his arms around my back and gently patted the back of my head with his palm.
I just couldn't bear to hear the word "die," "You're still saying 'die', you're horrible..."
"I won't say it anymore... my wife... I love you..."
Yu Longting confessed softly, then let go of me and bent down to check Lin Huan's condition.
His hands were full of burns, his shoes were gone, and his jade-like feet were stained with blood.
I didn't fail to see the injuries on his body, which must have been from breaking the talismans on the door.
Lin Huan put those talisman on the door not to guard against Lin Gang, but to defend against Longting.
And yet Yu Longting, to save us, had forced his way through the door and injured himself.
But Lin Huan was so gravely injured, hovering between life and death.
My heart had to lean toward Lin Huan first...
"Dad... how are you... what happened..." My mother, upon seeing Lin Huan lying on the ground with a large hole in his abdomen, was almost driven mad.
I managed to stand up and stopped my mother, "Don't go over there, Yu Longting is saving him; Mom, it's my fault, I didn't protect Senior Lin well."
"What Senior Lin, that's your grandfather!"
My mother was scolding me one second, but as soon as she saw the wound on my hand, she burst into tears, "Lin Gang, that beast, he did this, didn't he? Wanwan, you must be in so much pain."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not in pain. Come here, help my mother sit down and take a breath." I waved at the Puppet that looked exactly like me. The Puppet, acting entirely according to my will, came over and helped my mother sit down on a long bench.
