Gu Yuheng understood the meaning behind Lin Chuxia's words. He smiled gently, but did not reply.
Lin Chuxia tentatively asked, "Gu Yuheng, how about I go down and pull you up? I think I can do it."
However, Gu Yuheng rejected her suggestion with a stern face: "You can, but I can't!"
He was about six or seven meters below the cliff. It didn't seem like a long distance, but the cliff was not easy to climb. One wrong step and he could fall to the bottom of the valley at any time, not to mention that she would have to carry him, an injured person, with her.
Even a seasoned adult male climber wouldn't dare descend such a steep cliff to rescue someone without any tools or equipment. Let alone a frail woman.
Moreover, and most importantly, he is currently unable to exert his strength and will only become a burden to her in the future.
If she really comes down, there will only be one outcome: they will both fall off the cliff together.
Gu Yuheng's voice was very serious: "You stay up there and don't come down!"
After a pause, Gu Yuheng softened his tone, even adding a hint of pleading:
"Lin Chuxia, you need to understand, if you really do that, I'll worry about you. If I get nervous, I might lose all my strength... I'm not threatening you, I'm telling the truth. I'm really scared, so just stay up there and don't move, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia immediately abandoned her idea of climbing down.
Although Gu Yuheng said he didn't threaten her, his words implied that he didn't want her to take any risks, and if she dared to climb down, he would let go immediately.
Lin Chuxia didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She was touched, but also angry. However, she knew that she had no reason to get angry at the moment.
This cliff is almost vertical, and she really wasn't confident she could climb down. She had asked that thoughtless question because she was too anxious about Gu Yuheng's condition.
She could only hate her own weakness and powerlessness.
Gu Yuheng did so much to protect her, but now that he is in danger, she can only stay by his side, unable to do anything or help him at all.
"I won't go down, don't worry." Lin Chuxia tried to compose herself and make her voice sound calm. "Gu Yuheng, can you still hold on? My brother has already gone to call for help, they should be here soon."
"I'm fine, you..."
"Wait, don't talk! Conserve your energy!" We're still quite a distance from home, and it will definitely take some time for my brother and the others to arrive. The most important thing right now is to conserve Gu Yuheng's energy until they get here.
Thinking it over, Lin Chuxia added, "Gu Yuheng, when I talk to you, don't make a sound. How about this, every now and then, when I call you, you respond, and otherwise, don't say anything, okay?"
From her angle, she couldn't see his whole face, so her periodic responses were mainly to check on his mental state.
Gu Yuheng did not refuse: "Okay. But find a place to rest, don't stay on the edge of the cliff."
What kind of time is this? Doesn't he think about himself at all?
Lin Chuxia suppressed the stinging in her nose: "I'm lying down, don't worry, I definitely won't fall."
