What he wanted... was never her gratitude or a thank you.
The hospital was very tight, and even the corridors were guarded by soldiers. Chu Shixiu took Gu Xiaoai inside, and when they reached a place with the tightest security, Chu Shixiu stopped.
Gu Xiaoai understood that this was where Li Juefeng and his father were...
"I'm going to find out." Chu Shixiu pushed Gu Xiaoai on the chair beside him and walked towards the soldiers to talk.
Gu Xiaoai looked at him nervously. After Chu Shixiu said a few words to the soldiers, he walked back solemnly and said, "They are all still undergoing first aid. Three of them died after the rescue failed."
…
Death due to ineffective rescue?
If she hadn't been sitting right now, she would have fallen down again...
"Axiu..."
As if he knew what she would ask, Chu Shixiu bent down and patted her shoulders comfortingly, "Sit here and I'll take a look."
"I'll go with you." She shouldn't sit here stupidly, as if waiting for the end...
She hates this feeling.
"Those are corpses. I don't want you to see them. Just sit down and I'll identify them."
"I don't want to wait here." Gu Xiaoai stood up and stepped heavily on the ground.
"Okay, don't be so nervous, okay?" Chu Shixiu comforted her.
"Um."
Gu Xiaoai nodded heavily.
Under the leadership of two soldiers, Chu Shixiu and Gu Xiaoai entered the hospital where the bodies at the explosion site were temporarily placed.
Gu Xiaoai's hands and feet were cold, and even her lips were trembling.
Chu Shixiu held her hand, and the temperature in his palm was very warm. Chu Shixiu comforted her, "Don't be afraid."
She is not afraid...
Under the freezing temperature, the soldier opened one of the white cloths. Before Gu Xiaoai could look at it, Chu Shixiu covered her eyes with his other hand and said softly, "No."
Chu Shixiu's gentle voice gave her an inexplicable warmth.
Gu Xiaoai couldn't help but clenched his hand, her heart almost stopped beating.
"no."
"no."
Immediately after, Chu Shixiu said two consecutive words, Gu Xiaoai's tight body suddenly relaxed, and her body almost collapsed again. Chu Shixiu helped her up to the ground, supporting her weight.
She looks like a frail doll now. Without anyone to hold her up, she will fall down at any time...
His hand left her eyes. Gu Xiaoai saw that the white cloth was covered again. Chu Shixiu put his arm on her shoulders and said, "Let's go out and wait."
