Thomas’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Sharon’s focused profile. For some reason, a strange, fleeting haze washed over him.

The flames around them grew fiercer, and Sharon coughed violently from the smoke.

Suddenly, Thomas said, “Give up. If you don’t leave now, you’ll die with me.”

The firelight illuminated his face, making him appear impossibly handsome. He didn’t look haggard at all from the wreckage he had endured.

Sharon paused for a moment, then said firmly, “Stop talking. Don’t waste time and distract me.”

Yet it was not she who was distracted-it was him.

Watching the fire spread, Sharon’s movements grew more desperate. Her eyes, red from anxiety, glimmered with urgency.

The blood from her hand wound flowed faster with every motion. Her expression showed no hesitation, as if failing to save him meant dying alongside him.

Suddenly, the seatbelt snapped.

Sharon froze for a moment, stunned, before processing what had just happened.

“The seatbelt’s off,” Thomas said, pushing the deformed car door aside. “What are you standing there for? Move! The car’s about to explode!”

They had barely run five meters when a deafening roar erupted behind them.

The burning car exploded.

Sharon went pale, fear finally crashing down on her. Her heart raced, breath ragged. Another thirty seconds and she might have died right there.

After ensuring Thomas was safe, Sharon gasped for air, her chest heaving.

Eventually, she calmed enough to think clearly,

Thomas’s white shirt was soaked with blood; she couldn’t tell the extent of his injuries. Both of their phones were left in the wrecked car, making it impossible to call for help.

Moreover, the road was remote-no one had passed for a long time, and finding

assistance would be difficult.

“Wait here,” Sharon said. “I’ll go get help.”

Thomas nodded.

And so, he waited. Long minutes passed. Long enough for him to consider that perhaps Sharon had gone to her competition first and assigned someone else to help him.

She was willing to risk her life to save him, yet to her, the music she loved might matter even more than his life.

Thomas didn’t feel disappointment. He almost felt indifferent.

After all, that’s human nature.

He wasn’t exactly a good person himself; he had helped Kelly countless times, lurking around her for his own amusement, trying to add a little excitement to his dull life.

Last time, he even tried to set a trap for Sharon to manipulate her into inflating votes, but she had refused without hesitation.

She was completely different from Kelly.

Where shortcuts existed, she insisted on relying on her own effort.

Thomas considered it foolish.

Just now, she could have left him behind to save herself, yet she hadn’t.

What if she had failed? What if she had actually died there?

He didn’t admire such behavior.

Yet, inexplicably, his mind drifted to the recent memory of Sharon rescuing him.

Despite the crash, he hadn’t truly been unconscious. The so-called fainting had been an act. Even the seatbelt hadn’t trapped him-it had all been a staged illusion.

He didn’t know why he had done it.

At that moment, it had simply seemed amusing.

He never valued his own life. He had played countless life-or-death games before, yet

had never died.

Perhaps, as people said, he was naturally hard to kill.

Last time, he had risked getting hit by Sharon’s car deliberately.

This time, even facing an exploding car, he remained unfazed:
