He was in terrible shape. But he acted as though nothing was wrong and barely managed an "okay..." before he felt his body tear apart, the pain causing him to immediately shut his eyes. Only after familiarizing himself with this intense pain did he slowly say, "Chu Chu, I'm fine."
Clearly sensing relief from the woman in his arms when she heard this, she didn't say anything more.
The house had collapsed; they were buried in the rubble, the depth unknown. The space was tight, and she clung closely to his body.
He could feel her body temperature and her unique scent. He quietly savored these sensations, but eventually, he realized his senses were dulling significantly, as if he couldn't feel her presence anymore.
Panic started to rise within him as he slightly shifted his arm that was holding her.
Perhaps Gu Lanshan wasn't fully conscious at the moment, seemingly lost in a daze. Now stirred by Sheng Shi's embrace, she fully woke and felt the body holding her slightly trembling.
