Translator: _Min_ |
Startled for a few seconds, Song Ling regained his composure and was prepared to rush inside.
Zhao Xuan quickly grabbed Song Ling, urging, “President Song, it’s too dangerous now. Maybe we should wait for help?”
Song Ling shook off Zhao Xuan’s grasp, “By the time help arrives, it might be too late.”
Realizing Song Ling’s determination, Zhao Xuan let go, but then he noticed something.
Zhao Xuan exclaimed, “President Song, you don’t need to go in for Miss Gu Dai. She has already come back.”
Song Ling looked in the direction of Zhao Xuan’s gaze, joy flickering in his eyes. However, seeing Gu Dai helping an elderly person, with Su Ting by her side, his expression darkened.
Gu Dai had indeed made a bold move, coming to Suzhou City without informing him and even bringing Su Ting along.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently. The houses around the spot where Gu Dai and her companions were located wobbled perilously, on the brink of collapse.
Gu Dai, noticing the danger, urgently said to Su Ting, “We need to hurry!”
But just as she spoke, the house collapsed towards them.
Gu Dai’s pupils constricted as she instinctively shielded Master Zhen Chan.
The falling house and trees created a cloud of dust. Song Ling, facing the devastation, rushed in, his pupils narrowing in focus.
“Quick, rescue them!” he shouted.
By then, the earthquake had ended, and upon hearing Song Ling’s voice, everyone surged forward to help.
Song Ling worked ceaselessly, his expression growing grimmer, silently praying for Gu Dai’s safety.
The rescue team arrived and joined the effort.
Master Zhen Chan’s voice came faintly, “Is anyone there? Help…”
Gu Dai felt a sharp pain in her head, her vision darkening. She struggled to open her eyes but lacked the strength as her mind slipped into chaos.
She saw the man from her dreams again, standing under a white light, his features softened, teaching her coding with a gentle voice.
She couldn’t resist stepping forward, reaching out to touch him, but just as her hand extended, he disappeared.
Who was he…
Gu Dai opened her eyes to a clear blue sky, her hand on her aching head. She sat up shakily.
Chi Mian, seeing Gu Dai awake, hurried over, “Are you feeling alright? Do you need water?”
Gu Dai shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Chi Mian sighed in relief, “Luckily, the building that fell where you were had a support structure that held it up. And your boyfriend protected you. The doctor said your injuries aren’t severe.”
Boyfriend? Gu Dai was momentarily puzzled, then quickly asked, “How is Su Ting? Is he seriously hurt?”
Chi Mian replied, “The doctor said his injuries aren’t serious, but he’s still unconscious.”
Gu Dai’s expression grew solemn as she left the ward, “I’m going to see him.”
Then she remembered, “How is Master Zhen Chan?”
Chi Mian, about to stop Gu Dai, was distracted by her question, “Auntie Zhen was well protected by you. She’s uninjured, just startled by the accident. She’s resting now.”
Gu Dai nodded, rea.s.sured, “That’s good.”
Su Ting lay unconscious on the hospital bed.
Gu Dai approached, checking his pulse and examining him. Finding no serious issues, she finally relaxed.
Chi Mian, observing Gu Dai’s actions, asked in surprise, “Do you know medicine?”
Gu Dai nodded, “I have some knowledge.”
Though Gu Dai downplayed her skill, Chi Mian was impressed by her proficient manner.
Chi Mian’s eyes sparkled with admiration, then she remembered something when she saw Song Ling unconscious on another bed.
Chi Mian explained, “He arrived during the earthquake, saying he came to find you. After the collapse, he helped the rescue team look for you. He fainted from exhaustion after seeing you were safe.”
Gu Dai glanced at Song Ling, her brows furrowing.
Song Ling’s hands and arms were covered in wounds, likely from moving heavy debris.
Perplexed by Song Ling’s unexpected appearance, Gu Dai, nonetheless being a person who understood the importance of reciprocity, promptly approached to check on his condition.
Song Ling’s eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes slowly opened a sliver..
