Chapter 5: Wild, Charming
“f.u.c.k!” Xu Jie stopped to a halt immediately, “The first time I do something with good intentions in eight years and I get s.h.i.+t on!”
The ceiling acted like dominoes as one crack appeared, leading to a devastating chain. Shards and parts of the ceiling began to fall off like rain pellets, as they surged like waves towards Xu Jie and He Dan Ya.
“Run!” Xu Jie shouted as he carried He Dan Ya tightly towards the back door, just as he left, a part of the ceiling collapsed and caused a cloud of dust to surface.
Xu Jie’s ran as fast as he could, large blocks of concrete followed in his wake just a few seconds later. These slabs almost seemed to have a life as they pursued Xu Jie.
“It’s getting closer… Closer!” Xu Jie kept his gaze on the back door, and tried to calculate the distance between them and the exit. When the door was five meters away from him, Xu Jie gathered all of his strength and leaped, ramming into the door.
“BREAK!”
Unleas.h.i.+ng a roar of ferocity, Xu Jie rammed into the back door. All of his energy exploded from within and with a big BOOM!, the st.u.r.dy wooden door fell as Xu Jie escaped with He Dan Ya in his arms.
Peng, peng, peng[1], at the same time, cla.s.sroom two of the third years completely collapsed and if the two had still been in the room, there was no chance of survival.
[TLN: Peng refers to the sound of something collapsing. There is no English onomatopoeia except bang.]
After narrowly escaping the cla.s.sroom, Xu Jie didn’t even have time to be thankful for his survival before he was met with a new danger. The ceiling in the hallways had began to crack as well and rubble began to pile up as pieces fell off, right on top of the two. Xu Jie evaded and barely dodged the falling pieces as he carried He Dan Ya as fast as he could down the stairs.
The entire building seemed more and more ominous as it vibrated, the walls had huge tears and seemed like it could collapse on itself at any moment. The stairs were shaky and wobbly, while the pieces that were bombarding the inside of the school were unpredictable as rain from a storm falling from the sky. The entire hallway seemed like an apocalypse.
Xu Jie at this moment became like a swift cheetah. While cradling He Dan Ya, he dodged right, swerved left, and avoided any possible debris that could strike them at any instant.
Xu Jie faced this catastrophe head on, fully aware that one misstep could cost both of their lives. He ran even faster when he reached the ground floor,and was just a few hundred feet away from the exit where they could escape to the training grounds.
However, at this instant an unforeseen danger erupted. BOOM! A thundering noise struck as the earthquake finally reached it’s peak. The school building displayed it’s most terrifying shake as the entire ground floor crumbled away and created a flood of rubble, which eventually became a riptide and enveloped the entire first floor, counting to furiously spill outwards.
As Xu Jie rushed towards the exit, he seemed to have become like a moth, fluttering towards the fire. He charged straight towards the flood of rubble towards his way and because of the speed that Xu Jie ran at, the hair from He Dan Ya flowed from off her face. Xu Jie was curious about her real appearance and looked down to catch a glimpse.
[RN: Don’t drive and look at pretty girls people, least I think she’s pretty.]
“What! Oh my G.o.d… …” Xu Jie couldn’t help but gasp at the face of He Dan Ya. Xu Jie couldn’t ever imagine just how beautiful and elegant He Dan Ya truly was under her hair. Her face was perfectly shaped, and her skin was spotless with a tone that was beautiful from any angle. Her eyebrows curved and hugged her skin. Along with a crisp nose and soft delicate lips, her appearance could rival a G.o.ddess, and because she was frightened, her eyebrows curved even more and added to her complexion.
