Sh...ev Yang said to Gu Cheng, her face full of guilt, "I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, none of you would have come here."
Seeing her guilt-stricken face, Gu Cheng couldn't bring himself to be angry. "Forget it. It has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I would have come. Ah, looks like my dad was right after all.
"If you keep walking by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Looks like this is where my luck runs out."
Then he said to Lao Hu and Fatty, "Lao Hu, Fatty, I've let you down today, bringing you into this hopeless situation. If I get the chance in the next life,
"I'll work like an ox or a horse to repay you."
Lao Hu let out a hearty laugh. "Young Master Gu, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, how could I ever have seen such an exciting world? These past two months have been more exciting than the previous
"thirty years of my life. I'm satisfied! In the next life, I hope we'll still be brothers and explore the world together!"
Not to be outdone, Fatty said, "Young Master Gu, there are only three people I've ever truly admired. One is my dad. He managed to tame my mom, and I respect him for that. Another is
"Lao Hu, who was willing to shed his blood and lay down his life for our country. The third is you. You're my idol! If there's another life, we have to be brothers again. I'll still follow
"your lead."
Gu Cheng was deeply moved.
"Good! In the next life, the three of us will still be brothers!"
Though everyone else was trapped too, they were moved by the bond between the three men.
