nThe two people in the darkness could not see the expressions on each other’s faces clearly, but their hearts had never been closer.

n“Huo Yunqi, they will come to save us soon. Do you have to insist on knowing?” Xia Luobing whispered, “If you die, I will like others!”

n” Xia Luobing !” The man’s tone carried a hint of his previous domineering and hateful tone, “No!”

n

n

n“Then don’t die!”

nXia Luobing moved his hand to the side and grabbed Yunqi’s finger. Sensing the man’s cold fingertips, his entire body went cold, but he still pretended to hold Yunqi Huo’s hand calmly to cheer him up. “Let me tell you, when we went to the earthquake-stricken area to rescue him, the situation was even more dangerous than it is now, but a little girl managed to hold on for five days, so don’t give up!”

n“Bing Bing, don’t worry.”

nIn order to preserve their stamina, the two of them stopped talking. Xia Luobing held Huo Yunqi’s fingers vigilantly, and Huo Yunqi would occasionally respond to her.

n

n

nBefore the rescue workers arrived, the two people in desperate straits could only use this simplest method to support each other. Their hearts had never been closer.

nEvery second in the darkness would be magnified tens of thousands of times, and Xia Luobing’s worries became more and more intense. She knew very well that Ho Yunqi was relying on his last will power to persevere, so she urgently hoped that the rescue workers would hurry up, otherwise

nJust as this thought flashed through her mind, Xiao Luobing bit her lips, shook Huo Yunqi’s finger, and said softly, “Huo Yunqi, I like you! I like you very much.”

n“Yes.” Huo Yunqi replied weakly, his voice hoarse, “Bing Bing, don’t be afraid, I won’t die.”

n

n

nOne sentence made Xiao Luobing’s tears surge. Why didn’t she say those words earlier? Why did she have to quarrel?

n“Alright!”

nHuo Yunqi’s fingers gently stroked Xia Luobing’s face. He felt the tears in the woman’s eyes and his heart ached. He said in a deep voice, “Bing Bing, I don’t want to lie to you. My back is injured and a lot of blood has flowed out …”

n“It hurts, doesn’t it?” Xia Luobing’s tense breathing became painful. “Huo Yunqi, they will come to save us soon!”

n“Alright, don’t be afraid!” Huo Yunqi frowned and tried to move his pressed leg. A burst of heartbreaking pain made him feel as if his flesh and blood were about to be torn apart!

nXia Luobing was a seemingly tough but fragile little woman. What if he

n

n

nHuo Yunqi took a deep breath and tried his best to get rid of the growing drowsiness. His eyes widened to resist the heavy eyelids.

nWhen the two people in the ruins encouraged each other to persevere, Huo Yunzhan finally opened his eyes and recovered his consciousness. When he got up, he saw that the local police had all come in and hurriedly walked over to show his identification.

nHuo Yunqi and Xia Luobing must be buried below, and they must be rescued without delay!

n“This is it! This is it!” Huo Yunzhan pointed at the place where he saw Yunqi pounce before he fainted. His expression was grave. “The two of them were buried here!”

nA rustling sound rang out, and Xiao Luobing suddenly regained her spirits. She shook Huo Yunqi’s finger anxiously, “Someone is saving us! Huo Yunqi, we can go out soon!”

n“Yes.” Huo Yunqi’s consciousness was chaotic, but he still reluctantly replied.

n“Big brother, big sister-in-law?” Huo Yunzhan shouted, “You must persevere!”

nThree hours had passed since Dai Heng triggered the explosive device. Huo Yunzhan did not know what was going on inside. His palms were already covered in sweat. He tried his best to remain calm and watch as the rescue workers carefully cleaned up the ruins.

n

n

nBecause almost all the houses in the courtyard collapsed, the wooden blocks piled up in a mess. They were worried that they would cause secondary injuries to the two people buried below. The rescuers did not dare to use large tools, so they could only manually lift the wooden boards off the top, slowly approaching the location pointed out by Yunzhan Ho.

nAnother two hours passed. When he lifted the last wooden board, two grey-haired and dirty-faced people finally appeared in front of everyone.

nHuo Yunzhan was shocked and quickly took a step forward and shouted, “Big brother? Big sister-in-law?”

nThe paramedics carefully carried the man out. Both of them were unconscious. The blood stains on Huo Yunqi’s back had already turned black, making Huo Yunzhan ‘s heart skip a beat.

nThe ambulance rushed to the nearest hospital. Yunzhan Huo stayed behind and handed over Dai Heng to the local police.

nDarkness filled the entire world. Huo Yunqi’s hands fell powerlessly. Her cold fingertips slid across her cheeks. It was so cold.

n“Huo Yunqi!” Xia Luobing’s heart ached like a convulsion. She instantly woke up and sat up. She looked at the nurse beside her and said, “Where’s Huo Yunqi? Where’s the person who came with me?”

nThe nurse did not understand Chinese and told Xia Luobing in poor English that she should have a good rest now. Her companion was in the operating room

nRescue?

nXia Luobing panicked, jumped out of bed and ran out in a hurry, Huo Yunqi’s injury must be very serious!

nBut please don’t have an accident! Definitely not!

nIt was clearly only a short distance away, but Xiao Luobing still wished to fly over with her wings. She was going to guard him outside the operating room!

nIf he knew that she was waiting for her outside, Huo Yunqi would definitely work very hard to survive!

n

n

nSimple and persistent thoughts supported Xiao Luobing, her pure white teeth clenched her lips tightly to prevent nervousness and timidity from leaking out.

n“Sister-in-law!”

nSeeing Xia Luobing rushing over, Huo Yunzhan hurriedly welcomed her and supported the woman who had almost fallen. He frowned and had a serious expression on his face.

n“Is it very serious?” Xia Luobing grabbed Huo Yunzhan ‘s arm and asked anxiously, “Is there any danger to her life?”

nIn her dreams, her cold fingertips cut across her cheeks, causing her to be unable to breathe. Now that she was looking at the operating room with the red light on, she did not dare to breathe.

n“Sister-in-law, sit down and rest for a while!” Huo Yunzhan frowned. Although he was worried, he still tried his best to comfort Xia Luobing. “Big brother’s physical fitness has always been very good. He just lost too much blood this time. He will definitely be fine!”

nXia Luobing frowned and stared in the direction of the operating room. He nodded forcefully, “He’ll be fine! He’ll definitely be fine!”

nIf he promised her that he would not die, then he would definitely not die!

n“Huo Yunqi, if you dare to die, I will immediately fall in love with someone else!” Xia Luobing gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “Didn’t you hate Feng Shuo the most? If you die, I will definitely marry him! I will do what I say!”

nSo please don’t die!

nHuo Yunzhan had been frowning and worried, but seeing that Xia Luobing’s face was pale and his spirit was on the verge of collapse, he could only cheer her up and comfort her.

nEvery second he waited became torturous. The operating room door opened and closed. The nurses took out all kinds of documents for Xia Luobing to sign. The atmosphere was so tense that it was as if the world would collapse in the next second!

nThree hours later, the door to the operating room finally opened. Seeing Huo Yunqi being pushed out by the nurse, Xia Luobing greeted him. Looking at the man’s pale face, her heart ached, but her voice was gentle. “Huo Yunqi, don’t die, do you hear me? I won’t let you die!”

nHuo Yunzhan walked up to the doctor and asked about the operation. He also had a worried expression on his face.

nThe doctor took off his mask and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He communicated with Huo Yunzhan in English, “The operation was very successful, but because the patient lost too much blood, when would he wake up?”

nHuo Yunqi was pushed into the intensive care unit. She had to wait for someone to wake up before she could be transferred to an ordinary ward. Therefore, she did not need the care of her family. Huo Yunzhan advised Xia Luobing to go back to rest, but she only wanted to keep him awake and did not want to leave for a minute!

n“You’ll wake up, I know.” Looking through the glass window at the man covered in tubes, Xia Luobing said firmly, “I know you will!”

nAfter this incident, she clearly saw her own heart and understood Yunqi’s thoughts. She truly regretted her stubbornness and missing out.

nNo one can predict whether there will be an earthquake tomorrow, so it is particularly important to cherish the people in front of us.

nThree days later, in the afternoon, Yunqi opened his eyes and turned to look at the woman standing at the window. The corner of his mouth curved, “Ice, don’t worry.”

nXia Luobing had never learned how to speak, but at that moment, she understood Huo Yunqi’s meaning very clearly. She quickly nodded her head and used her finger to compare a V-shaped victory gesture to the man in the ward.

nThat night, Huo Yunqi was transferred out of the intensive care unit and admitted to the most luxurious ward in the hospital. Xia Luobing looked nervously at Huo Yunqi’s bandaged right leg and asked worriedly, “Does it hurt?”

n“Bing Bing, come here!” Huo Yunqi waved at Xia Luobing, signaling her to come to her side.

nThis time, Xia Luobing did not refuse. She obediently sat on the edge of Huo Yunqi’s bed, stretched out her hand to pull the blanket for the man, and frowned, “Does it hurt?”

nThe doctor said that the wooden wedge on her back almost pierced through Yunqi’s organs, and her right leg was almost crippled, which should have landed on her.

nHuo Yunqi did not say anything. He looked at Xiao Luobing and stretched out his uninjured hand to put Xiao Luobing in front of his chest. He placed his chin on the woman’s soft hair and whispered, “When I was buried, I thought that if I could survive, I would definitely hug you well.”

nAfter a great calamity and anxious waiting, Xia Luobing had already recovered her calm appearance as Officer Xia , but after hearing Huo Yunqi’s words, her heart was still filled with happiness that made people want to shed tears.

n“Huo Yunqi, thank you for surviving!” Xia Luobing muttered. Her eyes were wet, and the dense fog blurred her vision. She only felt that the green plants on the windowsill were very beautiful, giving people a boundless sense of hope.

nThe two of them hugged each other quietly and didn’t say anything else. However, their hearts were extremely clear about how much they cherished after escaping death.

n“Cough cough …”

nHuo Yunzhan stood awkwardly at the door with a bag of fruits in his hand. Looking at the two people hugging each other in the room, he deeply felt that he had come at the wrong time!

nXia Luobing hurriedly broke free from Huo Yunqi’s embrace with an embarrassed expression, especially when she felt Huo Yunzhan ‘s teasing gaze and her face turned red with embarrassment.

nHuo Yunqi glared at Huo Yunzhan and said, “Are you free?”

nIt was rare for Xia Luobing to be so docile and obedient, yet she was interrupted by Huo Yunzhan . She was truly annoying!

nSensing Huo Yunqi’s displeasure, Huo Yunzhan hurriedly smiled and said, “Big brother, I didn’t mean to …”

nHe only bought the fruit with good intentions and delivered it. Who knew that it would disturb others? Besides, the two of them could close the door
