Chapter 8

A Promise To The Far Ends of the World [天涯海角的誓言 Tiān Yá Hǎi Jiǎo De Shì Yán] is the eighth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
After being hit by a van, Huang Xiaoyan lays on the ground, bleeding from her back and unconscious. Ye Yan considers leaving her, but upon seeing that no one in the crowd considers helping her in fear of it being a scam, and the van driving away despite being involved in a hit-and-run, he reluctantly carries her to the hospital. However, not noticing the opened manhole below him, they fall into a deep pit filled with water, with Huang Xiaoyan's head scraping against the walls of the pit all the way down, waking her up but leaving her head bloodied.

Ye Yan eventually carries Huang Xiaoyan to The Fifth People's Hospital of Bozhou, who is rushed to the ICU on a wheeled stretcher by a doctor due to her critical condition, with Ye Yan following behind. Ye Yan asks about her other injuries, with the doctor noting that her other wounds are light compared to her head's lethal injuries. Still affected by the coldness of the water in the pit, Ye Yan sneezes and accidentally bumps into the doctor, causing him to let go of the gurney by accident. The stretcher slides to the side and slams into a large cabinet with crates of medical supplies on top of it, which fall onto Huang Xiaoyan as a result of the impact.

The extensive injuries leave Huang Xiaoyan comatose. Feeling remorseful, Ye Yan pays for her medical bills and returns home. After buying a cup of hot milk, Ye Yan hears Huang Xiaoyan, who uses her Thousand Ri Shout to declare Ye Yan as her nemesis and swears to shred him to pieces even if he flees to the far ends of the world.
