Chapter 97: Chapter 096: Heart Pounding Like Thunder Upon Meeting Him Again
Things seemed simple, but when it came to the actual operation, thatâs when they realized the difficulties were numerous.
Tang Zelin, because of his serious injuries, couldnât cooperate with them on his own, so the full weight had to be carried by them to bring him up. Fortunately, Zhao Kang and his soldiers were all in excellent physical condition, and with united effort, it took them almost half a day to finally rescue Tang Zelin.
It was precisely because of this process that Zhao Kang had great admiration for this comrade-in-arms who was also a soldier.
Given his injuries and the location, an ordinary personâs willpower would have already collapsed. Even if their willpower didnât collapse, maintaining an immobile posture in that place, and trying to avoid triggering a secondary collapse of the mountain, was no easy task. This manâs willpower was not like that of ordinary people.
âŠ
Before Tang Zelin was rescued, Su Shu was filled with various anxieties and unease.
...
However, once he actually had been brought up, she hesitated.
What was she hesitating about? It was only because she had taken it upon herself to say she was his fiancée that she could break the rules and come to the mountain to find him.
If she were to rush over to himâŠwould that âscareâ him?
The devil only knows when he suddenly ended up with a âfiancĂ©e.â
Uh⊠she was the one who had popped up out of nowhere.
In her past life, she was so familiar with him.
In this life, however, he was so strange to her.
Sigh, it hurt.
It was true that reason dictated hesitation, but reason was reason and impulse was impulse.
Su Shu might be able to stay calm and composed in the face of other people and events.
But when it came to Tang Zelin, it was nothing but impulse.
Since her rebirth, there hadnât been a single time in his presence where she could maintain a perfect image. Her façade always crumbled.
The more she wanted to appear calm and collected, the more panicked and flustered she became in front of him.
After all, it wasnât the first or second time she acted impulsively, this one time wouldnât make a difference!
âAre you okay?â
Tang Zelin was lifted from the darkness, with a piece of clothing covering his eyes to prevent the sunlight from hurting his eyes.
Because he couldnât see, he had to rely on his hearing to assess his surroundings, including throughout the rescue process. He tried his best to cooperate, even though every movement sent sharp pain through his body. But no one knew better than him how to move to avoid further injury to himself.
Fortunately, he and they had cooperated perfectly.
Light filtered through the fabric of the clothing, letting him know he had been safely brought to the ground.
Surviving death was commonplace for him.
Death had been a constant companion, and he had long grown accustomed to it. He thought to himself, it seemed King Yama wasnât ready to take him just yet.
While he was internally amused by the thought, a gentle and cautious voice suddenly rose by his ear, causing him to startle.
The dampness was heavy in the mountains and forests, filled with the scents of grasses and trees.
A womanâs unexpected voice made Tang Zelin feel a sense of familiarity.
It seemed he had heard it somewhere before.
Seeing that he hadnât responded for a while, Su Shu, anxious, turned to Zhao Kang and asked.
âGroup Captain Zhao, is he okay?â
Zhao Kang said, âHis injuries are serious, but they should not be life-threatening. Miss Su, donât worry, weâre heading down the mountain now. The injuries your fiancĂ© has suffered canât be treated here, but there will be medicine in the village.â
âOkay.â
It was good that Tang Zelin wasnât in mortal danger, better than anything else.
Su Shu squatted beside him and gently took Tang Zelinâs hand that was at his side.
Beneath the clothing that covered him, Tang Zelinâs tightly closed eyelids unexpectedly trembled. He did not open his eyes, but he was slightly shocked inside.
Someone had taken his hand?
