530 Open Your Eyes, Im Really Afraid (2/2)
Tang Mo'er didn't dare to shake his body, she could only give him the lightest touch but she felt a weird stickiness on her hand.
Her hand was filled with blood.
It was from Mr Gu, he was injured!
Tears sprang from Tang Mo'er's eyes as she cried, ”Mr Gu, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and open your eyes, I'm really scared…”
She was really afraid.
She was afraid of Mr Gu dying.
Her Mr Gu couldn't leave her.
She suddenly felt something on her face, his callous fingertips had brushed across her face, wiping away her tears. She heard a husky, weak voice in her ears. ”Don't be afraid…”
Tang Mo'er was shocked to find that Gu Mohan had already regained consciousness.
”Mr Gu, you scared me so much! I thought that you were dead…” Tang Mo'er sprang into tears of joy. She quickly wiped them away with her hands.
How wonderful! Mr Gu isn't dead!
Mr Gu is still alive!
Gu Mohan sat up. Surprisingly, he hadn't sustained many injuries other than a lacerated right arm.
Lifting his head, he looked up at the dark sky. ”Mo'er, let's look for a cave to stay in for now.”
…
They managed to find a cave and were also lucky to find some branches and fire starters to keep themselves warm.
After the branches were lit up, Gu Mohan sat in front of the fire while Tang Mo'er started to bandage his wound. She had torn some fabric from her own clothing. The best she could do was to stop the blood.
”Mr Gu, that's all I can do.”
Gu Mohan's face was a little pale, but he remained calm and clear-headed. ”It's fine, it's just that it's too late right now. We can only wait for sunrise tomorrow before we can try to make our way out.”
”Mm.” Tang Mo'er nodded her head and sneezed. It was cold in the cave.
Though they already had a fire to keep themselves warm, it was almost approaching winter and when taking into account the cold temperatures in the cave, Tang Mo'er was freezing. She hadn't been wearing much to begin with, and could only hug herself to try to keep warm.
But she suddenly didn't feel cold anymore, Gu Mohan had draped his overcoat over her shoulders.
The overcoat was still warm from his body heat and it had covered her entire body, protecting her from the cold.
”Mr Gu, but won't you feel cold after giving me your coat?”
Gu Mohan only had a white shirt on… he must have been freezing.
”No, men are able to tolerate the cold. You should have some rest.”
Tang Mo'er lay on a stack of straw while she looked at Gu Mohan. He sat on the ground with the fire lighting up his face, he still had his suave demeanor, even though he was disheveled after the ordeal down the mountainous terrain.
He was dressed lightly and must have felt cold too.
If he were to continue till sunrise tomorrow, his body was sure to collapse.
”Mr Gu…” Tang Mo'er called him.
As she was calling him, her voice was tender and sweet. Gu Mohan heard her and quickly turned back to check on her.
Her kitten headband was missing and her hair was released from its clasp. With her glassy eyes fixated on his face, she patted the spot beside her. ”Mr Gu, come over and sleep here. It's warmer. Let's just sleep together.”
She wanted him to come over and sleep with her.
Gu Mohan was indeed feeling cold and her words were like a trigger, making his body temperature rise.
