Chapter 93 I don't care what you have with him...
Feeling his burning heat, Chu Ruofu buried her head in his arms. From the beginning of their wilderness survival, she had been living in fear, and yet, an accident still occurred.
If Lu Xubai hadn't arrived in time, she and Li Yichen wouldn't have known when they would have been rescued. The production crew might not have been able to rescue them in time, and she and Li Yichen would have died alone in the cave.
Lu Xubai's appearance was undoubtedly a savior from heaven, saving her and Li Yichen's lives.
At that moment, she had no time to think about anything else. Overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes reddened, her nose tingled, and the tears she had managed to hold back kept welling up again.
The temperature was low and visibility was poor in the dense forest at night. He had just completed his wilderness survival training and came to rescue her all by himself. She was so moved that she could only sincerely thank him: "Lu Xubai, thank you."
Lu Xubai lowered his head and kissed her hair, his voice low and deep: "Don't thank me, I should be thanking you for holding on until I came to save you."
Chu Ruofu looked up at him, her tearful eyes blurring her vision.
Lu Xubai finally couldn't hold back and lowered his head to kiss her, kissing her lips fiercely to express his complex and indescribable emotions. Only by feeling her warmth could he completely eliminate the fear in his heart.
When he learned of her disappearance at the castle, he appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he went mad. He couldn't even bear to think about the consequences if anything happened to her.
He regretted not being able to go on the mission with her; how could he have let her go into the dangerous, dense forest with others?
Chu Ruofu did not refuse Lu Xubai's kiss. She was just as emotionally unstable as he was. She understood his lingering fear and the overwhelming emotions he was expressing, and she desperately needed comfort.
If he hadn't been so assertive and hadn't taken his time to get to know her, perhaps she would have chosen him firmly from the start.
Lu Xubai kissed her intimately for a while, then breathed heavily, staring intently at her with dark, viscous eyes. He wiped the silver threads from her rosy lips with his fingers and said hoarsely, "Chu Ruofu, now I finally understand how much I care about you. Don't stay away from me anymore."
"Give me a chance." His voice was pleading. "I can't bear the consequences of losing you. Please give me some love. What have I done to displease you? I'll change, okay?"
Chu Ruofu hadn't spoken to Lu Xubai face-to-face for a long time. He always had a cold and aloof demeanor, and his words and actions were decisive and forceful, making people want to run away.
Compared to the aloof and taciturn Gu Junsheng, Lu Xubai's arrogant indifference inspires fear.
At this moment, he lowered his posture, like a devout believer begging for the mercy of a celestial maiden.
How can one not be moved by a man who lowers his head and reveals his cowardice?
In the quiet night, Chu Ruofu's heart pounded wildly for his passionate love.
"No, I can't..." she confessed hesitantly, "Gu Junsheng and I... him and I..."
She found it hard to talk about it. Was she really a bad woman, unable to refuse the love of every male guest? She shouldn't be like this; she didn't want to hurt any man.
Lu Xubai was not a stupid man; he could certainly see that Gu Junsheng and Chu Ruofu had an intimate relationship, like a couple in the throes of new love, their eyes constantly meeting and their gazes fixed on each other.
He was jealous and resentful, but there was nothing he could do.
“It’s okay.” He suppressed the ache in his heart and said, “As long as you choose me, I don’t care what’s going on between you and him.”
Chu Ruofu's pupils contracted slightly as she stared blankly at him.
Could it be that Lu Xubai has become as obsessive as the other male guests, knowing that she and Gu Junsheng are together, yet still wanting to interfere and force his way into her emotional world?
"I……"
The sound of helicopter rotors came from the air. She immediately looked up and saw a small helicopter slowly landing. After it came to a stop, the director hurriedly got off and his gaze fell on Li Yichen, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"What's wrong with Teacher Li?" the director asked anxiously.
Chu Ruofu said, "He is injured and needs immediate treatment."
The director thanked Lu Xubai for finding Li Yichen and Chu Ruofu, and said, "The helicopter can only seat three people at the moment. What do you think we should do?"
Chu Ruofu said, "I'm fine, you guys take Li Yichen back first."
Lu Xubai stood beside her and said, "Chu Ruofu and I will stay here for the time being. You should fly back to the castle first and then come to pick us up."
"Okay, let's do it that way." The director called on the rescue experts to help carry Li Yichen onto the helicopter.
Chu Ruofu watched the helicopter leave, finally relieved. Her biggest worry was that something might happen to Li Yichen, since he had been injured while protecting her.
I hope he's alright and that his injury won't affect his acting career; she can't take responsibility for that.
Lu Xubai led her to a sheltered spot, put his backpack on the ground, and had her sit on the clean backpack. He then gathered some dry grass, branches, and twigs around them and piled them up to start a fire.
Although he was in a hurry to find and rescue people, he did not forget to bring all the tools for wilderness survival and quickly lit a fire to keep warm.
After finishing, Lu Xubai came to her side: "The helicopter will probably take an hour to get back, let's rest for a while."
Chu Ruofu hummed in agreement and silently watched the small fire. Not long after, her eyes narrowed as she looked at it, and she leaned forward, almost falling into the fire.
Lu Xubai swiftly caught her, looked down at her exhausted face, and asked, "Want to sleep?"
"I'm a little sleepy." Chu Ruofu's face was pale. She hadn't slept for a whole day and night because of her fear and anxiety. Now that she was relaxed, she couldn't resist the sleepiness that was creeping in.
Lu Xubai sat down and held her in his arms, saying, "I'll hold you, go to sleep."
Chu Ruofu was so tired that she fell asleep almost instantly against his warm body. Once she was asleep, she was oblivious to the passage of time.
When the helicopter returned to pick her up, she was still unconscious. Lu Xubai moved his stiff limbs, carefully moved her, and picked her up horizontally.
The director, who had accompanied him, saw him affectionately embracing Chu Ruofu and asked anxiously, "Is Teacher Chu alright?"
"She's fine, she's just too tired to sleep, don't wake her up." Lu Xubai carried Chu Ruofu upstairs.
As they soared through the jungle, Lu Xubai held Chu Ruofu tightly in his arms, his gaze lingering on her face.
Watching this scene, the director sighed inwardly. He felt that these male guests didn't like Chu Ruofu just for the sake of the dating show; they genuinely cared about her.
He had just stopped Gu Junsheng and Shen Wuyang from coming to pick up Chu Ruofu and take her back to the castle. They were acting like they didn't care about their lives; they were really crazy.
The helicopter landed in front of the castle, came to a stop, and shut off the engine. The guests all ran out, looking at Lu Xubai, who was getting off the plane, and Chu Ruofu in his arms with concern.
Gu Junsheng, disregarding his composure, hurriedly ran over to take Chu Ruofu from Lu Xubai's arms: "Give her to me."
Lu Xubai avoided his outstretched hands: "She's very tired, don't wake her."
Gu Junsheng's handsome face darkened. Because Lu Xubai had saved Chu Ruofu on his own, he could only temporarily suppress his jealousy and restrain himself.
The director called to the guests, "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. We'll be staying in the castle for several more days, so let's talk about everything after we've had some rest."
