Chapter 179 "Jin Wu, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Endless snowflakes continued to fall densely from the gray sky.
The entire vast land seemed to be submerged in a surging sea of snow, with no end in sight.
Such severe and extreme snowstorms are the kind of weather that everyone is eager to escape from.
But at this moment, a tall and straight figure slowly appeared in this bleak and biting blizzard.
His entire body had long been soaked by the cold and damp air. Not only his hair but also his shoulders were covered with a layer of white frost. Even his unruly and handsome face had lost some of its color due to the cold.
But he didn't care.
Dragging his trouser legs which had become heavy due to being soaked, he stared at the location on the watch with his scarlet eyes and ran towards the place in the distance where Jin Wu might be.
The snowy mountain environment is far more dangerous than imagined.
The ground was covered with thick snow and wet, making it difficult to walk, with many sharp rocks scattered around.
Add to that the interference of cold wind, snow and fog, and you will lose your way and slide to the bottom of the valley if you are not careful.
Even though Yan loved all kinds of outdoor sports and had rich mountaineering experience in the past, it was difficult to avoid the huge roots coiled in the snow along the way.
Stones rolled down with the cold wind.
The gloves he was wearing had been torn beyond recognition, his palms were covered with wounds, and even his brow bones had scratches from fallen gravel.
The cold wave around him was mercilessly devouring his body temperature.
Almost every step forward consumed his own health.
But Duan Shiyan still faced the blizzard, looked at the distant front, took difficult steps, and walked forward step by step firmly and resolutely.
It was like a flame that was willing to burn itself to break through the heavy snow and come to her side with the warmth that would allow her to survive.
"Don't be afraid, Imagiri."
Duan Shiyan followed the direction of the falling fog, stepping deep and shallow in the snow. He looked at the boundless snowfield, and the sound of the wind like the roar of wild beasts filled his ears. His red eyes were filled with determination. "Hold on a little longer, I'll be there soon."
I'll be right there...
Please, hold on a little longer...
Jin Wu suddenly woke up in pain.
She gasped and struggled to half-open her eyes, but all she saw was an endless expanse of gray, and she couldn't tell where she was.
The wind was still howling.
Snowflakes were falling heavily.
The rapidly dropping body temperature made Jin Wu, who was wearing thin clothes, shiver all over and he struggled to sit up.
"hiss....."
As soon as he moved, his ankle felt a sharp pain, obviously because it was twisted when he fell.
Jin Xiang endured the pain in his feet and tried hard to keep his still dizzy head straight. He looked around, trying to confirm whether the medical bag he had been carrying was still there.
"No....."
She looked at the surroundings which were becoming increasingly darker, and her heart suddenly sank.
I guess it was cut by a sharp stone from somewhere while sliding down just now, and I don't know where it fell.
There was only a small flashlight lying beside him, emitting a faint light.
Jin Wu held a flashlight in his hand, white air was coming out of his mouth, he weakly raised his arms to hug himself, and curled up into a ball as much as possible. His eyes were gradually becoming unfocused due to the pain and coldness.
Do you regret saving people?
But she knew that even if time could go back, she would still make the same choice.
She just regretted not giving her lover a good kiss before leaving.
Jin Wu was shivering in a daze.
The color on his face had quickly faded due to the extremely cold temperature, and his consciousness seemed to be unable to find a foothold and was about to collapse at any moment.
As the flashlight in my hand ran out of power, the last faint light gradually dimmed until it was completely invisible.
In an instant, endless darkness pounced towards her like a devil with bared fangs and claws.
Jin Wu's throat rolled with difficulty and his pale lips were pursed.
The nightmare-like fear and helplessness suddenly invaded my heart, as if it was tightly clamped by a pair of invisible hands, making the increasingly difficult breathing even more difficult.
So dark...
It's really dark...
Jin Wu didn't dare close his eyes, fearing that he would completely lose consciousness and never wake up again.
She pursed her pale lips and her body shook even more violently.
I originally thought that I had already overcome my fear of the dark.
But Jin Wu suddenly realized now that she had not yet completely won.
The reason why she is fearless.
Because Duan Shiyan has always been by her side.
But now he is gone.
She was like a spoiled child who suddenly lost all her support and confidence.
In the past, whenever something I was afraid of appeared, I would immediately panic and be unable to calm down.
Jin Wu's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She held on to her shaky consciousness, suppressed the even greater fear that erupted from the depths of her heart, and hugged her knees with trembling hands.
I tried hard to muster up my failing spirit, forcing myself to look at the darkness before me, enduring the growing dizziness in my head.
Don't be afraid...
Can't sleep either...
If I fall asleep, I might not wake up...
Jin Wu vaguely recalled that when he was a child, he was trapped in the closet in the basement of the Jin family.
I vaguely remembered that during the art performance in my second year of high school, I was unconscious in the empty backstage due to a high fever.
At that time, trapped in the darkness, she only hoped that someone would appear in front of her and rescue her.
Anyone is fine.
If only I could rescue her from this hopeless darkness.
But now, there is only one person's name in her mind.
"A Yan...Duan Shi Yan..."
Under the rapid hypothermia, Jin Wu huddled and hugged himself tightly, trembling continuously. His pupils were almost dimmed, and his lips, which had lost their color, murmured silently, "I miss you so much... Really, I really miss you..."
She still had a lot of things she wanted to ask him.
I wanted to ask him how he knew she liked to drink this brand of strawberry milk.
I wanted to ask him why he knew her behavioral habits since high school.
I want to ask him if it was really him who secretly put a bottle of milk on her desk.
I wanted to ask who this person was that he had to wait until her birthday to formally introduce to her.
Jin Wu's eyelashes drooped weakly, and his eyes stared blankly at the sports bracelet on his wrist. His consciousness was beginning to become a little lost.
How long has she been missing now?
I don’t know if the rescue team returned successfully?
If he found out that she was gone, Duan Shiyan would definitely go looking for her despite everyone's objections, right?
Jin Wu's lips bent slightly weakly, and his eyes became even redder.
Don't come...
Don't come to her.
It's so dangerous outside, with such strong wind and snow. What if something dangerous happens on the way to find her?
If she really doesn't make it this time, what will happen if he cries?
Don't be fooled by his arrogant and self-righteous appearance, he is actually a spoiled little princess in private.
She needs to be coaxed when she is sulking, she needs to be comforted when she is wronged, and she even needs to be comforted when a child is jealous.
If she really died in the snowy mountains, Jin Wu couldn't imagine how desperate Duan Shiyan would be.
Water welled up in Jin Wu's eyes and his heart ached badly.
She didn't want to see Duan Shiyan sad.
Such a proud person should always keep his back straight, like a bright and unrestrained sun hanging high in the sky.
Even she cannot let this sun fall into darkness.
besides.....
There were still many things she hadn't had the chance to do with him.
She didn't even have time to celebrate her birthday with him.
This little Princess Duan has always attached great importance to the sense of ceremony, and she must have arranged a lot of surprises.
Jin Wu's lips curved slightly, but her eyes became more and more red, and a line of tears had already slid down her pale and weak cheeks.
She doesn't want to die...
She wants to get out alive...
She didn't want the moon's fall on this day to become the sun's eternal nightmare.
It completely crushed his proud back.
Just as his consciousness was about to fall deeper into darkness, Jin Wu suddenly vaguely remembered the week when Duan Shiyan was on a business trip.
She was standing outside, eager to see him.
The next second, he appeared in front of her like a miracle from heaven.
——"Imagiri, you must remember that you are the first and foremost in my heart forever."
——"As long as you need me, just contact me, no matter how far away you are, no matter what I'm busy with at the moment, as long as you call me, I will definitely come to you as soon as possible."
Jin Wu half-opened his increasingly dazed eyes. At the last moment before he was about to fall into darkness, he murmured in a hoarse voice, almost inaudible, "Duan Shiyan..."
"Imagiri!!!"
It was like a miracle from heaven.
Along with the sound of rapid footsteps, a familiar hoarse voice suddenly rang in my ears.
The next second, a bright flashlight beam shone on her.
Jin Wu's eyelashes trembled violently, and his consciousness, which was about to fall into hopeless darkness, was suddenly pulled back by the anxious roar.
Is this an illusion?
It is said that if you are trapped in the snow mountains for a long time, you will easily experience hallucinations due to hypothermia.
Or is this a last gasp of life before death...
"Imagiri!!!"
Just as she was struggling to look towards the light, the figure she had been looking forward to seeing suddenly appeared in her hazy vision.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."
Before she could fully come to her senses, Duan Shiyan had already run to her quickly, stretched out his arms uncontrollably and hugged her tightly.
Tears instantly fell from her eyes, which were red from the wind, and her voice was low and hoarse, "Jin Wu, I'm here."
Jin Wu's eyelashes trembled again.
She felt the familiar warmth and listened to the rapid heartbeat in the other's chest. The tears that had been suppressed in her eyes suddenly burst out.
It was like a child standing at a crossroads, lost and unable to find his way home.
It was as if the dark moon that was about to fall was lit up again by the endless burning flame and held warmly in the arms.
"Don't be afraid, Jin Wu, I'm here, I'm right here, don't be afraid..."
Duan Shiyan looked at Jin Wu, whose face was pale and weak, and felt so distressed as if the sharpest knife tip had stabbed into his heart, causing unbearable pain.
He kept repeating the words "Don't be afraid, I'm here" over and over again.
He took off his coat and put it on her, and regardless of the fact that he was about to use up all the energy he had spent looking for her, he carefully carried her on his back.
"Imamiri, stay awake and don't fall asleep."
"Hold on a little longer, I'll take you out right away!"
The mountain roads in the snow-capped mountains are steep and dangerous.
A blizzard was blowing in the gray sky, the cold wind was howling sharply, and the whole world seemed to be still in chaos.
Jin Wu lay weakly on Duan Shiyan's broad back, his ears filled with his tired and dry voice.
He coaxed her over and over again without caring that this would waste his remaining energy.
"Imagiri, don't sleep."
"Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon!"
In a daze.
Jin Wu's cheek was pressed against Duan Shiyan's back, and she felt as if some deep memories in her mind were beginning to be awakened bit by bit.
She remembered that year she had a high fever and fainted backstage, and was carried on someone's back while she was in a daze.
The weather that day was just as bad as it is now.
That man also carried her on his back with an anxious and panicked look on his face, and rushed into the pouring rain without hesitation, regardless of how dangerous it was with the passing vehicles on the road.
"Imamiri, don't be afraid!"
"Hold on a little longer! We'll be there soon!"
The boy roared hoarsely.
It’s the same as the man who is carrying her on his back now.
Even though he has lost some of the immaturity of his youth, he has become more mature now.
But it's like two pieces that should have been put together, and now they are finally put together successfully.
Jin Wu's head was buzzing and his breathing suddenly stagnated.
Tears immediately slid down his cheeks again, wetting his back.
It turns out that the boy who braved the rain to take her to the hospital was you...
So, it really is you...
