After everything was ready, Li Das initially planned to carry Gu Tiantian onto the donkey cart, but seeing Bai Chenyao protecting her like that, he awkwardly smiled.
"Brother, quickly hold Tian Tian and get on the cart. She’s sick, we need to take her to the hospital at the foot of the mountain. Also, you should get on the cart as well!"
Ever since Gu Tiantian fell ill, Bai Chenyao had been holding her almost without ever letting go.
Now observing everyone’s expressions, he also glanced at Gu Tiantian whose face was slightly flushed in his arms, finally pursing his lips and carrying her onto the donkey cart.
Less than an hour after setting off, Gu Tiantian woke up amidst the swaying.
Bai Chenyao, who had been holding her all this while, noticed her bright, clear eyes suddenly filled with brilliance, shining incredibly.
"Tian Tian!"
Li Das and Doctor Huang, beside them, also hurriedly leaned in.
"Tian Tian, you’re awake."
Doctor Huang quickly reached out and felt Gu Tiantian’s forehead temperature.
Noticing it’s still sowhat hot to the touch, he frowned.
In this situation, it turns out listening to Wang Chun’s suggestion to go down the mountain was the best; otherwise, if the fever really starts raging, it could beco a major problem.
Seeing Bai Chenyao with a face full of worry, and glancing at the constantly flashing vegetation on both sides, Gu Tiantian opened her mouth, her voice very small.
"Where is... this going?"
Bai Chenyao held her tightly, resting his head on her shoulder, his voice low and soft, carrying a certain kind of panic and unease.
Gu Tiantian understood his feelings; children worry deeply about close ones being in trouble and naturally feel a kind of inherent panic and unease.
Just like when her father fell ill and was hospitalized back then, she felt the sa way.
Lost and helpless, only wanting to hold her father’s hand, as if it could stop him from leaving, so he could be with her forever.
Ha!
The childlike naive thought now manifesting in Bai Chenyao; Gu Tiantian couldn’t help but smile softly.
"Tian Tian."
Bai Chenyao softly called her na, his bright, clear eyes accusingly staring at her, filled with grievance.
Seemingly dissatisfied that she’s been sleeping all the ti, yet as if thinking of sothing, he hurriedly leaned over and blew on her forehead.
Seeing Bai Chenyao’s childish gesture, Gu Tiantian felt both amused and helpless.
A fever isn’t like being burned; it can’t be healed by blowing air.
Yet seeing Bai Chenyao being so innocently serious, she didn’t have the heart to interrupt him.
Turning her head slightly, she saw Li Das and Doctor Huang following along the way, and opened her mouth.
"Are we... on the road downhill?"
Li Das nodded quickly, his voice urgent.
"Yes, Tian Tian, are you alright? Rest assured, nothing will happen. In a few more hours, we’ll reach the foot of the mountain, and once we’re down, it’ll be quick to get to the hospital."
Just as Li Das finished speaking, Gu Tiantian suddenly felt a coolness on her face, as if water droplets had fallen onto it.
Initially thinking it was Bai Chenyao’s saliva from blowing, but upon closer inspection, she realized sothing was amiss.
Noticing the gray, dim sky, Gu Tiantian lanted inwardly.
What rotten luck, looks like it’s going to rain!
No, it has already started.
Sure enough, Li Das noticed too.
"Oh no, it’s started raining."
Doctor Huang also felt the raindrops on his face and took a silent deep breath.
"Let’s hurry; after that bend ahead, there’s a small hut where we can take a break, and wait for the rain to stop before proceeding."
Bai Chenyao slightly hunched over, holding Gu Tiantian in his arms, his tall body shielding her from the falling rain.
