"Alright, Qiangwei, tell me. What do you need me to do?" Ge Xiaolun nodded hard, his expression extremely serious.
He had to be serious. Qiangwei finally needed him; he had to act mature and dependable!
"I..." Du Qiangwei hesitated, blinking her beautiful big eyes. Ge Xiaolun's stern expression nearly crumbled into a foolish grin. After a moment, she said uncertainly, "How about you try shouting 'Silence' at the surrounding space?"
"Okay!" Ge Xiaolun's expression turned serious again. But just as he gathered his momentum and prepared to shout, Liu Chuang interrupted him with a yell of "Wait!"
Liu Chuang smiled awkwardly and pushed Ge Xiaolun out of the group's range. "Xiaolun, when you shout, think about that enemy. D-don't think about us!"

"Um..." Ge Xiaolun muttered without daring to turn around. He knew what had just happened, because when he shouted "Silence," Du Qiangwei's image had involuntarily formed in his mind...
Having recovered her senses, Du Qiangwei's eyes burned with fury. She said coldly, "Liu Chuang, give him an axe!"

"I said, give Ge Xiaolun an axe!" Du Qiangwei practically roared.
Ge Xiaolun turned around, dropped to his knees
