The sky gradually darkens, and the the trio hikes and takes breaks until the sun completely sets . The sun has disappeared, and they still have to reach the cabin . However, no one gives up . They have no other choice .
“I’ll carry you . ” Han Qilu, who’s been walking ahead of them, suddenly stops and turns toward An Chuxia .
An Chuxia’s heart breaks as she looks at his sweat-stained face . It is a look she remembers seeing on her mother’s face when she worked overtime, and she’d greet her early the next morning .
The look he gives her is strikingly similar .
“You don’t have to . ” An Chuxia unconsciously takes a step back . She has become timid . Since her mother’s passing, she no longer allowed herself to care . She’s afraid that if others care for her, she’d eventually see them leave .
She doesn’t want to confess what’s in her heart, but she’s still afraid of losing .
Han Qilu looks at her badly . “I’ll carry you on my back . Do you know your face is as white as a sheet of paper?”
Xia Xinyu has long noticed An Chuxia’s face get paler and paler . It might be from the wound she got this morning, and it’s now inflamed and causing an infection . She didn’t say anything, thinking Han Qilu already knew .
She hopes An Chuxia would die this way . She is going to die sooner or later .
“I’m fine, just a little tired . Don’t worry about me . You already have enough to carry . How can you carry me? Keep going . It’s getting dark, and if that’s not bad enough, we still have to reach the cabin . ”
Han Qilu frowns at An Chuxia since she didn’t jump on his back .
An Chuxia knew something isn’t quite right for a while now . Moving has been getting more and more difficult . She’s getting really tired . Han Qilu and Xia Xinyu were ahead of her, and she needed to catch up . She doesn’t say anything . Later, she feels cold despite the big sun over them . She shouldn’t be freezing .
The only explanation is that she has come down with a fever .
It’s definitely not good to have a fever at this point . However, she doesn’t want to be a burden . She has to hold on for as long as she can .
“An Chuxia jie, you don’t look well . I’ll come back to you . Let me just tell young master Qilu . ” Xia Xinyu takes a few steps before Han Qilu re-secures a backpack against his body .
His eyes scrutinize Xia Xinyu . Then, he looks at An Chuxia . Without emotion, he says, “She doesn’t want me to carry her on my back . ”
After making the statement, he takes the backpack from Xia Xinyu and puts it on his shoulders . He turns and doesn’t look at An Chuxia .
The young master’s temper flares again . An Chuxia sighs as she takes a deep breath and picks up her pace .
Xia Xinyu walks behind An Chuxia . Her expression turns peculiar .
As the dusk falls rapidly, she looks at the horizon . Her mouth swells into a cold arc, and her arms lock . In her heart she says, It’s time…
“Let’s turn here . ” Xia Xinyu suddenly says . “I have a hunch this road leads to the cabin . ”
