12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 215 If I die, you will be free
Su Jiuyao felt the cold rain on his face and also felt his hot skin.
With the dim light of the flashlight and through her blurry tearful eyes, Su Jiuyao saw Gu Hanye clearly in front of her. He was covered in mud and looked extremely disheveled.
Unable to control her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Gu Hanye's arms and hugged his neck tightly.
"What took you so long?"
"There was a landslide nearby, so it delayed us a bit..."
It wasn't just a short delay; he was gone for two hours!
Su Jiuyao endured these two hours second by second, and it felt like ten thousand years.
Gu Hanye stroked her back and soothed her emotions. "I also brought you some food from the car. Aren't you hungry?"
As he spoke, he gently pulled Jiuyao's hand away and opened his backpack.
In the bag were grapes picked at my grandmother's house and two bottles of mineral water.
Su Jiuyao felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears again. It was just her stomach growling twice, and she wouldn't die. Why should she take such a big risk?
And since he was already at the foot of the mountain, he could have just ignored her and driven away. Why would he risk coming back?
"Didn't it slide down? How did you get back?"
"Only one side was sliding down, and I climbed up from the other side, so it took some time."
Su Jiuyao didn't know how far he had gone, but judging by his muddy body and torn clothes, she knew that Gu Hanye must have gone through a lot of dangers...
After chatting for a few sentences, Su Jiuyao's emotions calmed down a little.
Gu Hanye helped her unscrew a bottle of water. Su Jiuyao took it, but without even drinking it, she hurriedly asked him what the situation was like down the mountain.
If she had gone down with him just now, she might have driven away by now.
Gu Hanye patiently told her that when he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he saw that the road out of the mountain had been washed away, and landslides and mudslides could occur at any time.
Knowing that he couldn't leave for a while, he quickly got in the car and took out his backpack to pack water and his only food - grapes from his grandmother's house.
Just as he was about to return the same way, another landslide occurred. Fortunately, the landslide was not large and was not directly above his head. Gu Hanye escaped the disaster and then climbed up the hillside from the other side.
Speaking of which, this place is a safe area compared to the foot of the mountain.
Listening to his hoarse voice, Su Jiuyao felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She handed the water back to Gu Hanye: "You drink first."
Gu Hanye smiled, took it and drank two sips, then said, "Did you think I was dead?"
Su Jiuyao didn't answer, but stared at him with resentment again, then threw the watch into his arms.
"Why leave this to me?"
Gu Hanye smiled bitterly. What a stupid woman! Was there any need to ask? Of course, he was worried that something might happen and hoped that she would survive.
When he left, he didn't tell her about the watch because he was afraid that she would be even more scared. Anyway, he believed that she was so smart that she would definitely find the watch and understand his intentions.
"Did you send the signal?"
"It won't work. I pressed it all."
After Su Jiuyao finished speaking, she turned away and didn't look at him.
At this moment, she was feeling scared. Because of her fear, she was even more angry with him. She was angry that he had taken so many risks, and she also blamed him for leaving her here.
Gu Hanye sat down next to her, touched her arm, and said pitifully, "For you, I was almost buried. If I don't ask for a kiss, at least a smile."
Su Jiuyao glared at him: "Do you think that if you die, I can live peacefully?"
This fierce question seemed to be more touching than any gentle and lingering love words, and it resolved all the dangers that Gu Hanye had experienced throughout the night.
Gu Hanye stared into her eyes and asked, "I'm not divorcing you, and I'm always taking advantage of you. If I really die, won't you be free?"
