Qiu Yanbo opened up his arms. “Why did you think the emergency services got to Gaoye Town so quickly? That’s because I began searching for you as soon as I heard the news. I was the one who directed the forces here as soon as possible.”

Su Qingsang remained silent. Although the time they were stuck in their predicament wasn’t exactly short, the rescue team had gotten to them pretty fast.

“You could pay attention to the news. Many towns in this vicinity were affected by different levels of damage, but they were not as lucky as you are.”

“Thank you very much.” Su Qingsang nodded, her words sounding more sincere than before. “However, I still stand by my words, I—”

“Eat something first.” Qiu Yanbo glanced at the never-ending rain outside the tent. “I don’t think the rain will stop any moment now. A rescue mission is tough, and there might be more injured victims coming in. As a doctor working in the frontlines, it’s best if you conserve your energy.”

Su Qingsang did not speak. She quickly finished the water and bread in her hands.

Throwing Qiu Yanbo a look, she turned around and continued to work.

“So not flirtatious.” Qiu Yanbo said to himself, raising an eyebrow and touching his chin. “But still pretty interesting.”

Time went on for another hour. The emergency services rescued another eight villagers. One of them was a woman eight months into her pregnancy.

When she was rescued, she had already stopped breathing. The situation was terribly critical. The woman’s husband avoided the disaster as he was working someplace else at the time.

Met with a situation like this, he almost fell down upon his knees before the entire medical team.

Su Qingsang was in no mood to talk to him. Accompanying Director Chen and a few nurses, they lifted the pregnant woman into the tent.

The husband wanted to step inside but Qiu Yanbo stopped him.

“Sir, you’ll sabotage the surgery if you go inside. It’s better for you to wait outside.”

Su Qingsang coincidentally heard that when she zipped up the tent. She couldn’t help but steal another look at Qiu Yanbo.

The husband finally stopped insisting on entering the tent.
