Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes dimmed again, wanting to speed up, but this broken car just couldn’t go very fast.

“Eat something first, otherwise how will you have strength.”

Bei Xier opened the bag and placed it between the two of them.

Mu Xiaoyao said plainly, “You eat first.”

The road conditions were bad at night, he had no time to be distracted by eating.

He only thought about quickly returning to the place Long Ting mentioned, to rescue Uncle and that girl.

Bei Xier’s heart tightened, Mu Xiaoyao asked her to buy things, but now that they’re bought, he doesn’t eat.

From his expression, it could be seen that he’s worried about Baili Xia’s situation.

Thinking for a moment, she took out a piece of bread, unwrapped it, and held it up to Mu Xiaoyao.

“Eat, just focus on driving.”

Mu Xiaoyao frowned, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Being fed — typically, only that girl had done this for him.

He couldn’t accept it from others.

Seeing his slightly pursed thin lips, Bei Xier could probably guess his thoughts.

This cold man, only when speaking of Xiaxia, showed a bit of interest.

Maybe not just her, even with other women, his attitude was incredibly cold.

Can a man really treat his sister with such devoted feelings?

Moreover, that woman is not even his real sister.

Are they really siblings?

…

In the cave…

Wu Ming continued to persevere, reminding himself to stay strong.

Having persisted this long, he had lost so much blood, his body was at its limit.

He just felt his eyelids growing heavier, slowly drooping down.

The small face in front of him also became increasingly blurry in his vision.

So tired, really so tired, so much that he didn’t even have the energy to speak.

Baili Xia sat beside him, looking at Wu Ming lying on the ground, her heart constantly aching.

Originally, they agreed to leave as soon as the bullet was removed.

But seeing Wu Ming’s frail body, Baili Xia couldn’t bear to leave.

It was all because of her that he was so grievously injured.

Wu Ming was now so weak, if they encountered those men in black outside, the two of them would likely not stand a chance.

Hiding in this cave, at least when it gets dark, it would be hard for those people to find them.

“Wu Ming, get some sleep. If anything happens, I’ll wake you up.”

Baili Xia managed to squeeze out a comforting smile, her voice gentle.

Wu Ming’s consciousness grew weaker, seemingly not hearing her words.

“Girl, I’m cold…”

He kept his eyes closed, his pale lips slightly moving.

Wu Ming’s hand lifted toward Baili Xia, as if trying to grasp something.

Baili Xia immediately reached out, clasping his large hand in hers.

So cold, his hands were so cold.

Having studied medicine for so long, she knew these were symptoms of excessive blood loss.

But here, there was no other way to replenish his strength.

“Girl…”

Another gentle murmuring sound came, the voice so familiar.

It made Baili Xia suddenly have the illusion that the one lying beside her was Uncle.

In the past, when Uncle collapsed, it was just like this.

The large hand she held suddenly tightened, squeezing her hand until it hurt.

He was already so weak, how could he still have such strength?

Baili Xia leaned down to whisper softly in Wu Ming’s ear, “Wu Ming, rest a bit. When you’re better, we’ll leave here.”

Wu Ming instinctively shook his head, “I… won’t sleep, you… help me… up.”
