Not Enough Chess Pieces

Mi Aya's pupils constricted as she watched Yue Xin pull the arrow out of her arm expressionlessly and insert it into the tree trunk behind them. After a while, the tree trunk burned.

No. 12 stood under the tree for a while before leaving. Mi Aya and Yue Xin were not in a hurry to leave the burning tree. Instead, they waited for a while and saw that No. 12 did not turn back before going down the tree. They did not go far. Instead, they found another densely-leafed tree and hid inside. It turned out that the tree had completely burned down. It would not be long before the fire spread.

Mi Aya looked at Yue Xin's bleeding arm with a complicated expression. "Why did you save me? Let me make it clear first. Even if you save me, I won't repay you."

Yue Xin didn't seem to care. She just tore open her sleeve to check the wound. "It doesn't matter. If No. 12 is a wolf, I can't be with him. I still need you to protect me."
