Chapter 44 Falling down the mountain
Zhou Mian withdrew his cold gaze, picked off a piece of red maple on his head, turned around, raised his camera, and took a picture of the red clouds in the sky.
After a few people played for a while, dusk fell, and as the last afterglow disappeared, the lights of the city in the distance reflected a sea of stars.
On the way back, the road was pitch dark and the light source of the mobile phone was limited. Shi Yue and Ye Xingxing could only support each other and carefully walk down the stairs.
Suddenly, Shi Yue stepped on a stone, slipped, and fell to one side.
Ye Xingxing hurriedly grabbed her, but failed, and could only watch as she fell towards the valley on the roadside.
Shi Yue closed her eyes nervously. There were no guardrails on the roadside. If she fell like this, at least half of her life would be lost.
At the critical moment, Qiu Xichen immediately put his arms around her waist, but he also fell down.
The few people standing there suddenly panicked. They raised their mobile phones and took pictures in that direction. Within two seconds, they were nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Mian and Zheng Shen reacted quickly and divided the work as quickly as possible. Zhou Mian stayed here to find their whereabouts. Zheng Shen took Ye Xingxing back to the hotel to find help.
Ye Xingxing burst into tears, feeling extremely anxious and blaming herself: "I'm not going back, I'm going to find Yue Yue."
Zheng Shen could only pull her back: "You go back and wait for a while. This place is not high, they will be fine."
Shi Yue opened her eyes faintly, and there was a stinging pain in her ankle. It must have been sprained when she fell just now. There was only slight pain in other places, which was not serious.
She recalled that when she fell just now, it was Qiu Xichen who held her in his arms so that she could remain intact.
Qiu Xichen... Shi Yue stood up hurriedly holding on to the tree next to her. Her mobile phone was missing. It was pitch dark in the mountain forest and she couldn't see her fingers. She was panicked and at a loss. She groped carefully while calling Qiu Xichen's name.
.
There were thorns all around. Shi Yue's face was scratched many times by thorns, but he didn't hear any response from Qiu Xichen.
The fear of darkness came instantly, and there was only the sound of wind and unknown insects in my ears.
Shi Yue slowly squatted down. If something happened to him, she might never be able to forgive herself in this life.
Just when she was thinking about what to do, there was a sudden noise not far away, followed by a familiar voice: "Shi Yue, are you okay?"
Shi Yue immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qiu Xichen's tall and slender figure appearing in his field of vision.
He walked towards her with a cold and solemn look, which made Shi Yue's nose feel sore, and there was a cry in his voice: "I hope you're okay."
Qiu Xichen helped her stand up, her palms warm: "Can you still walk?"
Shi Yue moved his steps carefully: "No problem, it will just be slower."
The time is getting later and later, and the mountain wind is chilling to the bones.
Qiu Xichen handed the phone to Shi Yue and bent down in front of her: "I will carry you."
Shi Yue was very frightened by the accident just now, and hesitantly said: "This road is not easy to walk. It will be dangerous if you carry me on your back. I'd better walk slowly."
Qiu Xichen insisted on his attitude: "If you want to be rescued early, hurry up. I heard that there will be wild beasts on this mountain."
Beast?
Shi Yue looked around cautiously, with cold sweat on her palms. She had no choice but to lie on Qiu Xichen's generous back and use her mobile phone to shine a little light.
She hugged his neck tightly: "Actually, you shouldn't have saved me just now."
Qiu Xichen said with a smile: "Not saving you? Are we going to let the news report tomorrow that President Qiu and his wife climbed the mountain and only one of them returned safely?"
Shi Yue couldn't laugh no matter what. She suddenly thought of what Ye Xingxing said to her when they were in the room in the afternoon.
Does Qiu Xichen really care about himself?
Suddenly, someone called him faintly in his ears, and there was a small beam of light in the jungle ahead. Shi Yue was excited: "Qiu Xichen, someone is coming to save us!"
Qiu Xichen also smiled. Hearing his name from her mouth was much better than "Third Master".
After a while, Zhou Mian bypassed the dense forest and found them. When he saw Shi Yue on his back, he was stunned at first: "Shi Yue, are you injured?"
Shi Yue shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, I just sprained my foot."
Zhou Mian and Qiu Xichen looked at each other, neither of them willing to lose an inch in their momentum.
"Master Qiu has just recovered, so I'll carry you." He directly passed Qiu Xichen and asked Shi Yue.
Qiu Xichen sneered and walked past Zhou Mian as if he didn't exist.
Zhou Mian remained silent and walked in front to lead the way.
Not long after walking, we were not far from the road where they fell, and we could see many people holding flashlights and shouting their names.
Shi Yue couldn't restrain her joy. She hugged Qiu Xichen excitedly: "We are saved!"
When they were rescued, the only medical staff in the hotel had arrived and came forward to examine them.
Qiu Xichen carefully put Shi Yue down: "Let her have a look first. Her foot should be sprained."
The people accompanying her immediately helped the doctor open the first aid kit and treated the injury on her foot.
The two of them were in a mess, with scratches on their faces. Zheng Shen looked at Qiu Xichen worriedly: "How are you?"
Although he saw Qiu Xichen in no serious condition when he returned to China, he had also heard a little about how serious his car accident was.
Qiu Xichen's lips turned pale, but he shook his head: "I'm fine, the place where I fell is not high."
It happened that the doctor over there had finished the examination and found that Shi Yue had no other injuries except sprains and some abrasions. Only then did Zheng Shen believe what he said.
After returning to the hotel, Shi Yue was asked to stay in Qiu Xichen's room. When they were at Qiu's house, they would sleep in the same bed, and she did not refuse.
But when they were sent to Qiu Xichen's penthouse suite, Shi Yue stood at the door and saw Qiu Xichen going straight to pour a glass of water without caring about herself. She only realized it later.
The way she is now, she has difficulty moving, and Qiu Xichen doesn't think he is a waiter.
Just when she was about to hook up one leg and jump to the sofa, Qiu Xichen finished a glass of water, came over, picked her up and walked towards the house.
Shi Yue lost weight unexpectedly and hugged him quickly: "What do you want to do?"
Qiu Xichen sat her on the sofa and sneered: "I have no interest in the injured."
Shi Yue lowered his eyes and looked down at his bandaged ankle. It was also inconvenient to walk. Why was he in such an embarrassing situation?
Suddenly, Shi Yue realized that her palms were a little wet. She opened her hands and saw that her palms were full of blood.
She was held by Qiu Xichen just now, and her hand was holding his arm.
Shi Yue looked at his arm. Qiu Xichen was wearing a dark shirt today, so there was nothing unusual about it.
"You...are injured?"
