The enormous surge of emotion nearly suffocated him. It felt as though his heart couldn’t bear the weight and had stopped beating.
Slowly, he closed his eyes. A tear of despair rolled down his cheek.
In that mont, the usually strong man couldn’t hold back. Silent sobs escaped from him.
It felt like he was enduring a catastrophe that he had no strength to withstand.
"Brother, Brother, I just found out. Chenxing accompanied a victim bitten by a snake, took the fastest route from the opposite shore, and returned to the camp. She didn’t fall into the water, co up quickly", Yan Fengchi’s voice buzzed in his ears.
Gu Shaocheng barely turned his head to see Yan Fengchi’s mouth moving as if he was saying sothing.
But he couldn’t hear anything. His ears were filled with a deafening silence.
"Brother, you’re too emotional. Calm down, Chenxing is okay. You’re overreacting, she isn’t as fragile as you think!"
Yan Fengchi pulled him onto the rubber boat, squatting beside him and speaking, but Gu Shaocheng continued not to hear. His eyes slowly opened, his long eyelashes damp and clumped together.
Alas, Yan Fengchi couldn’t understand why Shaocheng was in such a daze.
"Brother, you can’t keep going like this. You are too excited. Since setting foot in Liberia, you’ve been all tense and worried, constantly fretting over what might happen to Chenxing. As if she can’t survive without you. But in fact, she had been living well without him for the last eight months. The vibrant girl in the photo looked fine, didn’t she? No broken arms or legs, nothing amiss!"
Seeing that Shaocheng was still out of it, Yan Fengchi could only squat beside him, lightly jabbing his shoulder with his fist.
"Brother, can you handle this with a cool head like when you are dealing with business matters?"
Gu Shaocheng’s lips were tightly pressed, remaining silent, taking a while to glance at Yan Fengchi, his eyes had returned to normal, but his voice still trembled.
"So she really... didn’t fall in the water?"
Yan Fengchi nodded emphatically: "I promise you, that’s what I just found out. Since a villager was bitten by a poisonous snake and she didn’t have the antidote in her dicine box, she went back to the camp with the victim. This just happened not too long ago. I even heard that she just delivered a woman in labor and saved the lives of the mother and baby. She even tended to the wounds of several other people. Look, she’s not as fragile as you think. In fact, she’s very capable and a competent nurse who can handle various things in her life!"
Gu Shaocheng pursed his lips, worry still clearly etched in his eyes, lingering for a long ti, unable to dissipate, as if sothing terrible could happen to Chenxing at any mont and he couldn’t be at ease.
"Brother! Please, calm down!"
Yan Fengchi thought, faced with the girl he loved, this man was so anxious and disoriented, a complete contrast to his usual composure. But how could he understand? How could he know the feeling of worrying about a loved one, constantly fearing what could happen to them? Or understand that in Gu Shaocheng’s heart, Chenxing was soone who couldn’t live without him. He had to keep a constant eye on her, protecting her!
