Chapter 9 Mr. Gu and Xiaoyu were injured
The earthquake lasted about 10 minutes, and aftershocks continued afterwards. More and more people gathered in the center of the huge square.
Lin Xiyue suppressed her anxiety and expertly helped Gu Qinghan treat the wound on her shoulder. She first cleaned it with alcohol, sprinkled some Yunnan Baiyao powder on it, and then wrapped it with a bandage and tied a beautiful bow. She whispered in her ear, "Qinghan, can you still walk? Let's get out of here quickly. There are more and more people here. They have no water or food, and chaos will soon break out."
Lin Xiyue suddenly leaned so close that Gu Qinghan could kiss her fair and smooth cheek by just tilting his head slightly. If he got even closer, he could even kiss her rosy lips. Gu Qinghan could also clearly see her thick and curled eyelashes that were like fans. Her peach blossom eyes were big and bright, with a hint of red at the corners, and slightly curved. She was really beautiful...
Gu Qinghan tilted her ear and listened to Lin Xiyue's whisper. She could hear her own heartbeat. Her face was red and her ears were burning.
"Okay, I can go. I'll listen to you and go with you." Gu Qinghan retracted his expression and said in a light tone.
It is only five kilometers from the center of the commercial plaza to the Bay Community.
Lin Xiyue took out a bottle of Lingxi water from her bag and handed it to Gu Qinghan, saying, "I see your lips are a little dry. Have a drink before you go!"
"Yeah, okay." Gu Qinghan took the water from Lin Xiyue and drank several sips in a row but couldn't finish it. He thought to himself that this water should be the spiritual water she gave him last time!
Lin Xiyue took the half bottle of water from her hand and poured it all into his mouth without hesitation. He put the empty bottle into his military backpack, then carefully helped Gu Qinghan leave the square and walked towards the Bay Community.
Fortunately, there was a certain interval between aftershocks. Lin Xiyue supported Gu Qinghan and walked most of the way home. Their way home was like climbing over mountains and crossing ridges. They dodged collapsed houses, dodged fallen billboards, dodged raised road surfaces, and dodged crowds...
An earthquake turned the once prosperous and bustling Yucheng into ruins in an instant, with broken walls everywhere and corpses scattered in every corner.
"The end of the world has truly arrived! It's time to test humanity. Sister Gu, we can't change so much. It's already great to be able to survive."
"Yeah. It depends on how the government handles them."
"Let's go! While there are no aftershocks, let's hurry back to the Bay Community to reunite with Ji Yuan and the others. I wonder how they are doing? Are they injured?"
// The roar of nature seemed to be playing a joke on humans. There were no aftershocks afterwards, giving humans a chance to catch their breath.
But Lin Xiyue knew that the earthquake was just the beginning and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.
Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan finally returned to the Bay Community safely.
Downstairs of Building 22 of Haiwan Community, Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing had already returned to Haiwan Community. They encountered aftershocks along the way, which brought up brick and tile fragments, so Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were also injured to varying degrees.
"Xiao Yu, where are you injured? Is it serious?" Lin Xiyue asked Ji Yu'an anxiously.
Ji Yuan forced a smile and said, "It's okay, just a minor injury." But her pale face betrayed her.
Gu Qinghan also asked Du Luoqing: "Where is Luoqing? Where are you injured?"
Du Luoqing shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a few scratches. Ji Yuan's injury was more serious. He was hit on the lower back by a falling billboard while trying to save me."
Du Luoqing asked with concern: "Qinghan, you look so pale, are you injured too?"
"Well, my shoulder is injured. Xiyue has bandaged it for me." Gu Qinghan said to Du Luoqing.
Lin Xiyue said to them, "Alright, let's go home and take care of our wounds! I'm afraid the elevator won't work, so let's go up the stairs."
"Du Luoqing, Xiaoyu got injured while saving you. If she can't walk, you can carry her up!"
Du Luoqing said firmly, "Okay, I know. She got hurt while trying to save me. I will be responsible for her."
At this moment, Ji Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, "Humph! You sound like a wedding vow, but who wants you to be responsible?"
So Lin Xiyue carried a military backpack on her back and carried Gu Qinghan in her arms like a princess in front of her, walking up the stairs to the 22nd floor step by step. Maybe it was because she had soaked in Lingxi water, drank Lingxi water, and eaten spiritual fruits, but she walked up the stairs with Gu Qinghan in her arms without even breathing hard, and it was effortless.
Du Luoqing also carried the injured Ji Yuan up the stairs. She was so tired that she couldn't breathe after reaching the second floor. Ji Yuan unscrewed the water bottle on her back and poured the water into Du Luoqing's mouth, "Drink some water and take a break!"
This water was given to them by Lin Xiyue, who said it could replenish energy. In fact, it was the Lingxi water in Lin Xiyue's Pisces space.
Du Luoqing held Ji Yuan's thighs tightly with both hands, afraid that she would fall. "It's not convenient for me to drink with you on my back, why don't you feed me a sip?"
Gu Qinghan hugged Lin Xiyue's neck tightly and secretly watched Lin Xiyue who was walking seriously. She didn't expect that Lin Xiyue's arm strength was so good. He carried her to the 22nd floor easily. Lin Xiyue was carrying a bulging military backpack on his back!
Gu Qinghan knew that Lin Xiyue had a six-pack. She had secretly seen it last time. At this moment, she had all sorts of random thoughts in her mind. She thought that if she and Lin Xiyue were really together, would she dislike her age? After all, she would be 30 in two years, and Lin Xiyue looked only 22 or 23 years old!
Lin Xiyue looks young and energetic. If they get together and do that, will she feel that she is not good enough?
Gu Qinghan blushed and thought about it, while Lin Xiyue's voice rang in his ears, "2202 is here, Mr. Gu."
Gu Qinghan's face turned dark in an instant, and he mentally made a note of someone's tactlessness in his little notebook so that he could settle accounts with her in the future.
"Well, Xiyue, thank you so much today."
"No need to thank me. You were injured today while saving me. It's my duty to help you."
Lin Xiyue wished that Gu Qinghan would get better soon so that she would feel less guilty. She felt like she owed her a favor today!
Gu Qinghan didn't miss this opportunity to spend time with Lin Xiyue, so she said, "Xiyue, you know I'm injured, so...what about me eating and taking a shower?"
"Your good friend Du Luoqing will come up later! Doesn't she live with you? She can take care of you! I'll go take care of Ji Yu'an."
Du Luoqing finally carried Ji Yuan to the 22nd floor. Just as he was about to put Ji Yuan down, he heard their conversation. He also saw Gu Qinghan blinking at him, so he came to his friend's aid. "Um, Xiyue, Qinghan, I'm going back to 2203 with Ji Yuan first! She was injured because of me, I have to go take care of her!"
Before Ji Yuan could even retort, Du Luoqing pulled her to the door of 2203. "Xiaoyu, open the door?"
"I...don't you live in 2202? I don't need any care, I can handle it myself..."
Du Luoqing directly pulled Ji Yuan's right hand and placed it on the sensor button. "Ding" the door opened and she pulled Ji Yuan inside.
Lin Xiyue watched his friend being abducted, and had no choice but to take Gu Qinghan back to his residence 2201.
Lin Xiyue opened the door of Room 2201 with his fingerprint and said to Gu Qinghan, "Mr. Gu, please stay at my house for the next few days! I will take good care of you until your wound is completely healed."
Gu Qinghan was extremely happy in his heart, and nodded calmly, saying, "Sorry to bother you."
