"Brother Jing, you should take a rest. My sister-in-law will be fine. We have been looking for her for so long and still can't find her. She may have left."
Bai Jingnan advised, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his tone.
Zhou Yanjing ignored him. He still stared at his surroundings and clenched his fists even tighter.
His face was covered in sweat, and his military uniform was soaked with sweat, but he seemed unaware of it. He just walked forward mechanically, each step firm and powerful.
"Keep looking." His voice was hoarse and low, carrying an unquestionable power.
Bai Jingnan sighed and shook his head, knowing that it would be useless for him to say anything more.
He had never seen Zhou Yanjing like this before. The usually calm and self-possessed man now looked like a wild beast that had lost its mind. All he could see was the cliff and a glimmer of possible hope.
A terrible thought flashed through Zhou Yanjing's mind. If there was nothing under the cliff, could it be hanging on it?
He looked up at the cliff in the distance, but it was too far away for him to see clearly whether there was anyone on it.
Bai Jingnan followed Zhou Yanjing's line of sight and saw the towering cliff, which looked a bit scary. He frowned:
"Brother Jing, you don't think my sister-in-law is on the cliff, do you? We have been looking for her for so long, and we have searched every tree around us. We have also sent people to every village to ask, but we still can't find her. Could she really be on the cliff?"
"Just go and see and you'll know."
After saying this, Zhou Yanjing walked towards the cliff with a firm attitude.
"Brother Jing, I'm just saying, are you really going?"
"Zhou Yanjing!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Yanjing stopped abruptly, his body stiffened for a moment, and he slowly turned around. His gaze fell on the distance, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Zhou Yanjing!" The voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency and trembling.
Bai Jingnan also turned his head and saw a slender figure staggering towards him not far away. There was a scratch on her face and she looked disheveled, but her eyes were still as bright as stars.
"Sister-in-law!" Bai Jingnan widened his eyes and blurted out, his voice mixed with surprise and disbelief.
Zhou Yanjing's breathing suddenly stopped. The next second, he rushed out, running towards the figure with almost all his strength.
The wind whistled in my ears, and all my thoughts were thrown behind my mind at this moment. The only thing left in my eyes was the tottering figure.
"Wuwu!" His voice was hoarse and low, carrying an emotion that had been suppressed for a long time.
When Shen Liwu heard his call, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. She limped towards him, and the soldier who was supporting her let go.
"Zhou Yanjing!" Her voice was choked with sobs, with endless grievances and relief after surviving a disaster. With arms open, Zhou Yanjing rushed to Shen Liwu in two steps and hugged her tightly in his arms.
His arms were like an iron hoop around her back, so strong that he almost rubbed her into his body. He rested his chin on her shoulder, as if releasing all the fear and anxiety of the night.
"You scared me to death..." Zhou Yanjing's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, with a thick nasal tone. He stroked the back of her head with his palm, his fingertips trembling slightly, as if confirming her existence.
Shen Liwu buried her face in his chest, tears falling silently, her arms tightly around his waist, her fingers clenched the corner of his clothes, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
"I thought I would never see you again..."
