Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Lu’s Confession 5_1

I don’t know how long it had been, but just as the two of them were about to collapse from exhaustion, they finally heard a slight movement coming from above.

"Someone must be coming to rescue us!" Xia Ningxing immediately knocked with more excitement, trying to signal that they were still alive.

Because if the rescuers confirmed there were survivors below, they could be prioritized for rescue.

As expected, the rescue team above heard the noise and shouted urgently, "There’s movement in this spot; there must be people underneath. Hurry, someone come and give a hand!"

With everyone’s help, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli finally saw daylight again.

The medical team immediately draped a black cloth over their heads to prevent the sunlight from harming their eyes.

"This man is injured; get a stretcher quick!" a medic exclaimed upon noticing the injury on Lu Tingli’s leg.

"Lu, you’re injured?" Hearing this, Xia Ningxing immediately lifted the black cloth from her head, enduring the pain of the sunlight searing her eyes to look at him.

The sunlight caused her immense pain, but it was nothing compared to the heartache she felt upon seeing the mangled flesh on his leg.

The dry bloodstains indicated he had been injured for quite some time.

Xia Ningxing suddenly became angry, her eyes reddening with both anger and heartache, "Why didn’t you tell me you were injured before?"

This liar!

He had pretended everything was fine and stayed with her underground for that long.

"Baby Xing..." Lu Tingli also dropped the black cloth from his head, his gaze at her filled with a hint of vulnerability; even his voice grew softer, "I didn’t want you to worry about me, but I promise, this is the first and the last time I’ll deceive you. Will you forgive me, please?"

As the medical staff prepared to take him to dress his wound, he stubbornly stood in place, insisting on waiting for her answer. His dark eyes, filled with trepidation and nervousness, fearing that she would be angry at having been deceived by him.

"Forgive! Of course, I’ll forgive you! Stop talking and get your wound dressed quickly!" Xia Ningxing saw his stubbornness and instantly became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, rushing him urgently.

Fortunately, although his leg looked very severe, it was just a superficial injury, not affecting the bone; he would be alright after a rest of about ten days or so.

Xia Ningxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought so, how could a man with the male protagonist’s halo be so unlucky!

They were in a simple white tent for treating wounds, and while Lu Tingli’s injury was being attended to, Xia Ningxing heard her family’s voices.

"Bao’er!"

She was startled, then turned her head to see her parents and several brothers had all arrived, except for Tuanzi.

Originally, Tuanzi wanted to come too, but such a place was not suitable for a child, so everyone refused, leaving the nanny and the grandmother to look after him at home.

Xia Ningxing was both shocked and overjoyed, quickly walking towards them: "Dad, Mom, brothers, why have you all come?"

"Bao’er!" Mrs. Xia’s eyes turned red swiftly when she saw her, holding her tightly while weeping profusely, "You girl, what are you doing here? Do you want to worry us to death?"

Heaven knows how scared and fearful she was upon hearing about the earthquake in Tom City, worried that she might never see her again!

Seeing her eyes full of concern, swollen from crying, Xia Ningxing felt unbearably guilty, "Mom, I’m sorry, I just wanted to see Lu and came looking for him..."

Xia Ningxing deliberately omitted the crucial point.

If they knew she was aware of the impending earthquake and still recklessly came to take Lu Tingli away, they would surely scold her to death.

And perhaps they would then take their anger out on the big boss.
