Chapter 778 - Shen Wei, We’re Going Home (1/2)

He moved his arm. It did not hurt much, but when he looked down, he saw the worry and fear in Xia Ruoxin’s eyes.

“Don’t overthink it.” Chu Lui truly did not mind his injury. He did a quick calculation of the time and figured it was around daybreak. They should just keep things as they were for a few more days. He reached and placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s face.

She’s already so thin; how is she going to gain back all the weight that she had lost? He really did not think that she was ugly in any way. To him, Ruoxin would always be the adorable little girl that he met over twenty years ago, no matter what became of her.

She might have looked different, but her heart was the same.

“Oh, right. Tell Shen Wei that Brother San is here, too. We picked two routes. Brother San went to the other one, but I’ll let him know so that he can put his mind at ease.

“Okay, go back.”

He nudged Xia Ruoxin on the shoulder as the latter looked back reluctantly. She felt her feet began to ache, and she was afraid.

She was afraid that they might not have the chance to meet again if she left.

‘Don’t worry.’ The man mouthed. Even though it was voiceless, she knew these two words were what he meant to say.

She walked back into the bunkers, and Shen Wei sat up.

“What’s wrong? Why did it take you so long to go to the bathroom?” Shen Wei yawned. She had begun to worry that Xia Ruoxin might have fallen into the hole.

Xia Ruoxin hurried over and hopped into her blanket. It was still warm. En, warmth.

“I have something to tell you.” She leaned over. The two were rather close so it was quite easy for them to whisper to each other. Still, she was afraid that someone else would have overheard.

She leaned into Shen Wei’s ear and whispered to her.

Shen Wei was first shocked then stunned.

“He managed to find even this place?”

Xia Ruoxin put her fingers to her lips. “Shh…”

Shen Wei understood. She lay back in bed but sat up soon after. This seems a little too good to be true. It’s this place we’re talking about! She reached for her hair and pulled hard.

She was not sure if she should be excited, agitated, or moved.

If he were here, then there was one thing that she could believe: he promised to bring them out of here so he would. Chu Lui was not just anybody. He never did anything that he was uncertain of.
