Chapter 219 Breaking the promise
"The master said that when he found Rongyue, she had just come out of the river and was soaking wet. The water was very cold, and she had a high fever since then. Now her temperature has suddenly dropped. I'm afraid it's a sign of hypothermia."
"Can we set off immediately?"
"The rain outside is getting heavier. If we force them to leave, it might be even more dangerous."
I opened my eyes, but everything was blurry.
I feel so hot.
I ripped off my clothes.
"Melting Moon..."
Mo Chen's face gradually became clear in front of me.
"I'm so hot..." I looked at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen reached out and touched my forehead, then he put his hand into my clothes to feel the warmth of my skin.
"Her body can't regulate its temperature anymore. If it drops any further, it will be very dangerous. I have just contacted Li Xin, and he is bringing medical staff over. But it will be difficult to travel on rainy days, which will delay some time..."
Mo Chen stood up and took off his coat. "You go out first and send a message to Li Xin. Tell him about Rong Yue's condition and ask him to come back as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Gong Di walked out of the tent.
I watched Mo Chen take off his shirt piece by piece.
Finally, when I was topless, he squatted down, helped me up, unbuttoned all my clothes, and took them off one by one.
Then he sat behind me and held me in his arms. The hot temperature on my back spread to my whole body in an instant.
Mo Chen put our clothes on us one by one.
Then he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him, pressing his body tightly against mine, transferring his body heat to me.
"It's so hot." I murmured.
"Your temperature is too low. Just bear with it and wait for it to rise."
It was quiet for a while.
"Mo Chen... I... thought... I could never go back." I hugged Mo Chen's arms tightly.
"Yes! You must come back with me! You have done so many things behind my back, and I haven't settled accounts with you one by one yet!"
I smiled and said, "Mo Chen, don't worry when you bring your parents back this time. No one will come to break up your family."
"Didn't you just tear my family apart a few days ago?"
I looked up at Mo Chen.
"Li Xin told me what happened on the day you were taken away. You went with them voluntarily. Have you ever thought about coming back?"
Mo Chen stared at me, his eyes so deep that it seemed they could suck me in. He was very hurt and very angry.
I lowered my head and buried my face in his arms.
"Hmm!" There was a pain in my neck.
"Nangong Rongyue, you will always owe me for this! Don't think I will thank you if you bring my parents back! It's you who broke up the family that I cherish most now!"
"Sorry…"
Hot tears ran down my neck.
"Nangong Rongyue, remember this, if you dare to hide something from me again, I will never forgive you!"
But... I... don’t know how to tell you about my parents. I can’t tell you that they are accomplices in hurting your parents!
Originally I just felt that our family backgrounds were not compatible, but now... even I am a weapon used by others to hurt you!
During these few days away from you, I clearly realized that I would rather die than leave you...
How can I tell you?
"Are you scared now? I'm giving you one chance now. Are you still hiding something from me?" The arm around me tightened a little.
"Is there?" Mo Chen shook me slightly.
I buried my face deeper into Mo Chen's arms.
Mo Chen's face pressed against my neck.
"You don't know how scared I was when Li Xin called me and told me that you had left with someone!"
"You deliberately made me stay so far away from you, and then left with someone else without telling me anything. I couldn't come back right away. You planned everything, right? Nangong Rongyue, I hate you so much."
"Since when did you start doing this without telling me?"
"Did it start with recruiting an assistant for me, or did it start with working with Hao Weiran... huh?"
"Have you ever thought about how I feel when you plan these things without telling me? You think you are doing this for my own good, so I should accept it without any choice, right? Have you ever respected my ideas?"
"I'm sorry... Mo Chen... I just..."
Mo Chen pressed my head on his shoulder and asked me to look at him.
"Is it your apology that I want?!"
I looked at Mo Chen's red eyes and said, "It's just... a lot of things... I'm sorry..."
My parents are sorry to your parents.
I am not your best choice either. I don’t know how to explain to you except that I’m sorry. I turned my head to avoid Mo Chen’s gaze and struggled to lower my head.
Mo Chen's hand grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.
Mo Chen panted, tears in his eyes grew more and more.
He lowered his head and pressed his lips against mine. I pushed him away, but that seemed to make him even angrier. He was a little out of control, and until the root of my tongue was sore, he bit the tip of my tongue hard and let me go a little.
I breathed rapidly and felt dizzy.
Mo Chen also calmed down a bit. He let go of my face.
"Why did you fall into the water?"
"Just as I found the river, I encountered a bear. I was so scared that my legs went limp..." I thought about the situation at that time and my scalp still tingled.
Mo Chen frowned.
"Didn't you expect to encounter this before you walked in here?"
I shook my head. "I just wanted to lead them out of this darkness so that I could go back and reunite with you. I don't know where this place is, nor do I know what dangers there might be."
"You can't even bear the darkness, and you still think you can lead them out of here?"
"I...can..." Now that I think about it, I really don't have the confidence anymore.
"Is this how you deal with the darkness?"
Mo Chen pulled up my right hand, and his fingers stroked my wrist, where there were several rows of disordered teeth marks and some newly scabbed areas.
I pulled my hands, but I couldn't overcome Mo Chen's strength.
"This is an undeveloped primeval forest in Tibet. You can't get out at all. If I can't find you in time... you know how dangerous it will be!"
"But...you're here..."
I looked at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen stopped and looked at me with angry eyes.
"Dad said...you...would come to find us...When I was most desperate...you...actually came..."
Mo Chen in front of me was becoming more and more confused, and all I could hear was the rustling sound of rain hitting the tent, which hypnotized me even more.
I closed my eyes.
"Rongyue." Mo Chen shook me nervously.
But I was so sleepy that I couldn’t open my eyes.
"The body is still cold."
"What should I do if my body temperature doesn't rise? Do you want me to switch with you? Are you tired?"
"No, let's speed up a bit."
"This is already the fastest speed. We should stop and rest for a while. We are all a little exhausted."
I came to my senses and realized that the person speaking in front of me should be Gong Di.
The person who carried me on his back was not Mo Chen, but it was a smell I was very familiar with.
I could clearly feel the warmth of his back. We were both wearing only a thin T-shirt, and I felt a little heavy, as if I was covered with several layers of clothes.
"Let's stop and rest for a while. We'll continue on our journey in half an hour."
"Okay, Mo Chen just sent a message saying that he has arranged for the master and the mistress, and he is bringing people back to pick us up."
"Ah."
I watched several well-trained men set up the tent immediately.
Li Xin carried me in and put me down. He took off all our clothes, including his last T-shirt, leaving only my T-shirt. Then he sat behind me and pulled me close to his body, just like Mo Chen, warming me with his body temperature.
Someone came into the tent and took my temperature.
"The temperature is less than 35 degrees Celsius."
This man gave me an injection.
"Her temperature is still dropping, so she should go to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Got it. Tell the people outside to rest for 10 minutes before setting off."
"Yes."
Li Xin put his arms around me and pulled me closer to him, then he tore off a few pieces of the heat pad and carefully put them on me.
After doing all this, he covered me with clothes and hugged me tightly.
Li Xin's arms were wrapped around me, like a rope binding me tightly.
After that, I could only feel Li Xin's regular breathing on my neck.
"Li Xin."
"Yeah." Li Xin responded to me indifferently.
"Are you still... angry with me..."
"Um…"
Hearing Li Xin's cold hum again, I couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Where's Mo Chen?"
"Go and send his parents to the boarding point first, and then come back to meet us."
"Oh…"
"We're not far from the boarding point."
I nodded.
There was silence for a while.
"It's so hot..." I felt like my body was in a steam room with extremely high temperature.
"Bear it."
I just shut up.
The night in the forest gets dark very quickly.
I looked at the small lamp in front of me that was glowing dimly. It was the only light in the tent.
It’s strange. Now I want to sleep but I can’t.
About ten minutes passed.
"It's almost time, shall we set off?" Gong Di opened the tent and came in.
"Let's go." Li Xin stood up and put on his T-shirt.
"Meow."
I heard a cat meowing outside the tent.
Then the cat's meows began to sound one after another.
Li Xin paused for only a moment, then quickly put a piece of clothing on me and put on his own coat. "Where are Mo Chen and the others?"
"We are still about 1 kilometer away."
"Tell them that we are in trouble here and ask him to come quickly." Li Xin said and sat behind me again.
"Okay! You guys stay in the tent and don't come out. I'll go out and deal with those cats. Our weapons can handle it for a while."
"Ok!"
Gong Di went out and set up the tent.
Li Xin turned off the only small light in the tent.
The tent was plunged into darkness in an instant.
I listened to the sounds outside the tent, the howling of a cat, the occasional gunshot, and Gong Di's shouting as he gave orders to his men.
The fear that darkness presents to me is different every time.
But ultimately it scares me.
Li Xin's arms were around me, and he tightened them a little bit. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. It'll be fine, Mo Chen will be here soon."
"A bunch of... untrustworthy... guys." My voice trembled.
He told us to leave on our own, but he didn't give up chasing us.
"It seems that you also hate breaking promises." Li Xin said with a smile, "Then you can more or less understand how I feel about you."
"Well... that's good... then... keep going... keep it up. The more you hate me... the better..."
"Ok!"
Li Xin's arm suddenly squeezed me and it hurt a little.
"Release... release..."
"Does it hurt?"
I nodded.
"You only feel pain physically, not mentally! Nangong Rongyue, you don't have a heart at all, do you?"
"It's good...if you know...let go...I...I...can't...breathe!"
Li Xin loosened his arms instantly.
I was breathing in short bursts, and I told myself not to be nervous, to slow down my breathing as much as possible, and to breathe in as much oxygen as possible.
"Relax and take deep breaths." Li Xin gently pulled me up and said, "Look up, don't hide!"
Hiss! There was a sound of the tent being torn.
