Chapter 39 has a bright road (10)
My head buzzed, my face turned white, and I took off running outside, but was caught by him after a short distance. My backpack fell to the ground, one of my shoes was lost, and I frantically shouted for help while kicking and hitting the person holding me. Unexpectedly, the person who came wasn't there to save me, but was another accomplice of his. That person stuffed a cloth into my mouth, and the two of them dragged me towards the bamboo forest, each holding one of my arms.
For the first time in my life, I was terrified. I cried and leaned against a bamboo tree, wanting to delay time, hoping someone would come to rescue me. But as I was dragged deeper and deeper inside, my heart died too, and the sound of despair echoed in my mind.
Through tearful eyes, I saw a figure. The sunlight shone on his body, outlining a faint golden light. The cloth in my mouth was removed, and I cried as I fell into his arms, repeatedly calling out, "Brother! Brother! Brother!"
"I'm here. I'm here. It's okay. It's okay."
The terror at that time took a long time to calm down. When I opened my eyes, I found myself hugging Xia Mu Cheng and sitting in the helicopter.
"Are you awake?"
"En." My face turned red, I didn't know what to say, and a pack of wet tissues appeared in my hand. A warm voice came from beside my ear, "Wipe it off, your face is all sweaty. It's okay now, don't worry about your parents either."
His words reminded me that I didn't want Father to worry, nor did I want Auntie Cheng to dislike me. Taking a deep breath, I took out the small mirror and carefully wiped it clean.
"We're here." Xia Mu Cheng snapped his fingers, and my gaze shifted from the window to the cabin. For some reason, our eyes met, and it felt a bit unnatural. He was the first to get off the plane, standing below with his arms open wide, his smile dazzling under the starlight. "Come down."
I nodded, and the moment my feet touched the ground, I felt someone grasp my right hand in a ten-finger interlocking grip. It wasn't until we reached the door that it changed to a normal handshake. I looked up at Xia Mu Cheng, who smiled slightly and slowly released his hand to press the doorbell. I lowered my head, staring blankly at my right hand, thinking about how warm and delicate his palm was. In the moment our fingers interlocked, a warmth flowed from the tips of my fingers directly to my heart, causing the smile in my heart to overflow to the corners of my mouth.
The moment the door opened, I smiled and looked at Xia Mu Cheng who had been standing in the entrance waiting for me. It was as if a ray of sunshine had shot into my heart, giving me even more strength than before. Ah, there's nothing to be afraid of with Gege around. That Cui Zixu's threat is nothing. The worst has already happened, and it's better to face it head-on rather than suffer in silence!
