Chapter 606: Doting To The End Is The King’s Way (16)

But for some mysterious reason, Shi Guang found herself calming down right after hearing his voice.

Using the weak sliver of light she had from her phone, she looked around for a fallen tree according to his description.

There were many trees that were fallen over, and it took her long before she found one of which she heard his soft murmurs coming from. “Shi Littly…”

Heaving a deep breath, she sprinted over.

When she caught sight of him, her entire mind went blank—his entire body seemed to be drowning in the sludge. Mud was covering his handsome face that was etched with small scars here and there while his clothes were all filled with mud.

Even then, his expression had no change. Cold and aloof, it was as though he was totally indifferent toward death.

Shi Guang paced over quickly.

Sitting on the floor, she reached out for his face before yelling out, “Lu Yanchen…!”

“I’m here,” Even though he was the one stuck beneath the tree, he was the one consoling her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine!”

Shi Guang could no longer hold it in as she cried out. Yet, Lu Yanchen seemed like he was totally fine, teasing her, “Shi Littly, you look really ugly crying with your entire face of mud.”

Shi Guang was nowhere near angry with him at all as she smiled faintly. “I’m really glad I could find you.”

Glad… That was barely enough to explain the depth of her emotions right now! She was so ecstatic that she could go nuts over it, as though she had just been granted a new lease of life!

“Don’t be afraid!” He coaxed her softly.

But, how could she not be afraid? Her heart had nearly burnt out earlier on.

Gripping her hand, Lu Yanchen’s voice was especially warm. “Look at me. Tell me, do I look fine?”

Shi Guang nodded her head. “Of course!”

“That’s right, I’m fine, so don’t cry! If you were to let another teardrop, I might suspect that I’ve died!”

Instantly, Shi Guang did not dare to cry anymore as she shut her eyes tightly, squeezing her remaining tears off.

When she looked at Lu Yanchen once more, she was waving her fists, ready to whack someone. “What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Unless I’m dead, you don’t have to shed any tears for me!”

“I’m not crying…” Shi Guang forced a smile out. However, her voice was still quivering—this was the aftermath of her lingering shock.

“That’s the way,” Lu Yanchen said as he pointed out to the tree above him. “Fear and tears are of no help to us. Right now, I need you to use your strength so that we can shift this tree away together.”

Shi Guang nodded her head resolutely and hugged the entire tree.

Lu Yanchen smiled out faintly. “Not like that. Stand on the right and pull to your back while I’ll use all I can to push it as well.”

Shi Guang followed Lu Yanchen’s instructions and tugged at the tree when he gave the go. However, even when she used up every single bit of strength she could muster, the tree would not budge.

What should she do? The entire tree felt like a mountain that was crushing down, and she could do nothing at all!

She started feeling frantic once more.

R-R-Right! She had her phone! She could call for help!

When she took out her phone, she remembered that the communication lines and cables were destroyed around the disaster area, and her phone had no signal!

Looking at how Shi Guang was giving off a despaired look once more, he frowned and said, “Stupid girl! See, this is the reason why I’m always asking you to eat more usually. Yet, you refuse to. If you were fatter, you would be able to move this tree!”

Shi Guang was on the brink of tears when she could not move the tree earlier on. But, when she heard what Lu Yanchen said, she nearly burst out laughing again.
