Chapter 1345 - Comradeship 2
He did not move an inch and just let her pull his hand around as he gazed into her eyes with his dreamy, starry eyes. He stared at her for a moment before saying, “You’re pretty considerate to help Lingshi out even when you know I’m troubled, huh? Come home and sleep with me tonight.”
He could not abstain anymore ever since he married her…
“Can your head think of something else? It’s early in the morning! You’re getting more and more vulgar. What happened to the old you?” Xi Xiaye slapped his paws before throwing him a disgusted stare!
Mu Yuchen looked calm as usual as he got up together with her and walked towards the dining table with her. “You’re overthinking. I wasn’t thinking of anything.”
“I’m not believing that. Why don’t you prove yourself by abstaining for a month or two?” Xi Xiaye looked back and squinted at him with a grin just to provoke him.
Mu Yuchen’s expression darkened. He quickly pulled out a chair for her to sit down. “Just pretend I didn’t say anything just now. Please don’t do that!”
Xi Xiaye chuckled when she saw his reaction. “You’re annoying!”
“I’m not. I’m being respectful of you. Come on and eat up now. There are a lot of things to do today, and I need to be at the police station this afternoon too.” Mu Yuchen added a fried egg onto her plate.
Xi Xiaye was enjoying the service she was being provided. “About Gu Qiwu?”
He nodded. “Mmm, Gu Qiwu can’t fall yet for Ah Mo’s sake, or else, he would just be doing Doris a favor.”
“Doris is truly a wicked woman! Fortunately, you were smart back then. Otherwise, you would’ve become her son-in-law already.”
“You ought to learn from my wisdom.”
“Look at you, acting all cheeky. I think there is some narcissistic gene in the Mu family bloodline. Our son acts just like you now whenever he’s given a compliment! As expected of father and son.”
“What’s wrong with being smart?”
…
The rain continued throughout the night, and it was wet everywhere on the road.
As the car went through bumpy mountainous roads, Qi Lei felt dizzy from all the rocking he experienced. Although he felt like his strength was all drained, he still tried his best to hang on. Yang Sheng’s fever went down slightly after the night, but he was still pretty weak, and the bumpy mountain roads did not help.
The car’s petrol was depleted by the time morning came, so the three of them continued their journey on foot.
Fortunately, they were not pursued, or else, they could not have escaped.
Ah Mo carried Yang Sheng on his back as they walked through the muddy mountain path. Qi Lei followed behind and covered his injured arm. All of them looked horrendous with mud all over them.
It was even a first for Ah Mo to feel this humiliated! He swore to himself that he would make these scumbags pay for it!
“Damn it! Where is this place?! We can’t even find a residential area after driving for a whole night. I’m so tired!” Qi Lei complained as he wiped the droplets off his face. He could not even tell whether that was his sweat or rainwater.
Ah Mo turned around and noticed that his expression was pale. He looked like he was about to get sick, much to Ah Mo’s worry.
They needed to find a place to settle down; he had no capacity to take care of two patients!
Qi Lei was obviously suffering from excessive hemorrhaging. If this situation continued, there was no guarantee of whether he could return to City Z alive.
After Ah Mo and Qi Lei had taken turns carrying him for some time now, Yang Sheng suddenly said while he was on Ah Mo’s back, “Master Qi, Ah Mo, I’m sorry. I’m being a burden right now. It doesn’t seem like we’ll be able to rest anytime soon. Please let me down and stop letting me be a burden. Perhaps the two of you can still get out. Just leave me…”
He thought that situations like this would only happen in television drama series or fiction. Who would have known that it would actually happen to them? Yang Sheng was touched when Qi Lei and Ah Mo did not abandon him. However, he felt really guilty hindering them right now.
“Don’t spout nonsense. Save your breath,” Qi Lei said.
Ah Mo took a deep breath and paused for a moment, “Don’t say that. We’ll be able to get out together, and there should be a village nearby after walking this far. I’ll never abandon my brothers and comrades. Moreover, the two of you are my brother’s friends. I won’t be able to face my brother if I return to City Z myself.”
He then clenched his teeth and continued moving forward.
“This is nothing. Back then, when Master, Master Su, and Master Mo just joined the military, their training in the jungle was much harsher. Master Qi, it’s not all bad, to be honest. At least, we got something in return, yes?” Ah Mo sounded happy.
“I’m not like your Master. I just want to leave this damned place as soon as possible.”
While Qi Lei was tired, he had to admit that Ah Mo’s words were right. He was really impressed by Ah Mo’s abilities on their way here. Qi Lei was a humble person, especially towards those whom he respected.
“For sure we’ll be able to leave. Take a look there.” Ah Mo let out a sigh of relief.
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment before looking in the direction Ah Mo pointed at.
