The valley isn't very large, so when the rocks and soil above get washed down by the rain, both Xiaofan and Lin Miaoke are in great danger down below, so they can't get too close to the edge.
So, Xiaofan builds a temporary little tent with branches and leaves in the small grove, and now Lin Miaoke and Ye Xiaofan are both huddled inside this small tent.
"Cough, cough, I didn't mean to run over just now."
"No need to explain. I know." Of course, Lin Miaoke knew he was worried about her safety. He had acted on impulse when he threw the little underwear over. Now thinking back on it, she regretted it to death.
Her intimate item had hit the opponent's face, and then he picked it up and studied it carefully. So embarrassing, so embarrassing.
"Hey, not wearing your little panties will make you catch a cold," Xiaofan teased.
"Shut up, don't mention it again." Lin Miaoke turned her face away in embarrassment.
Despite the fact that their bodies were almost pressed tightly against each other. Especially with this guy not wearing any clothes. The skin-to-skin contact made Lin Miaoke's heartbeat inexplicably speed up.
Xiaofan, out of boredom, quietly observed the woman beside him, clearly fragile yet determined to be a police officer. However, the fact that she remained unphased in front of criminals was commendable.
The scene reminded Xiaofan of Shen Zuimo; he hadn't been home in a day. She, wouldn't she be worried sick?
Meanwhile, rescue efforts outside the valley were continuing tensely. No matter how hard the pouring rain, giving up was not an option.
At the entrance sealing off the mountain, reporters had run into their cars to avoid the rain, quietly waiting for good news. Meanwhile, beside a taxi parked by the roadside, Shen Zuimo opened an umbrella and stood quietly, gazing at the mountain from afar. Standing so still, like a statue longing for her love, a glimmer seemed to flash at the corner of her eyes.
"What are you guys doing, so many of you went in and couldn't find a single person. Let me tell you, if something happens to my brother, I'm not going to let you off."
If Xiaofan were here, he would immediately recognize it as Fei's voice.
"Hey, do you know what kind of place this is? Who you are? Believe it or not, if you keep talking like this, we can arrest you right here."
"You bastard, I'm Ouyang Xiong and I want to see how you're going to arrest me then. If you have the guts, get my brother out, or let us in to help search." At this point, Ouyang Xiong was losing patience. He dropped his business and brought a large group of his brothers here just to help find people.
"Brother Xiong, calm down, calm down." At this time, the police station's district director, who was responsible for sealing the mountain, came over.
"Director Hou, we may not be very sophisticated, but considering Boss Fu's face, can you let a few of our brothers in to help out? I promise we won't cause trouble." Upon seeing the person in charge arrive, Ouyang Xiong's tone softened.
"Ah, Brother Xiong, it's not that Director Hou doesn't give you face, but indeed, unrelated persons can't be allowed in. That's an order from above, from above..." Director Hou gestured towards a car on the other side: "Those over there are from the General Bureau of Criminal Investigation, even the director personally came."
"Unrelated people, Xiaofan is my brother, I..." Fei's temper flared, disregarding any director, shouting loudly as he stepped forward.
"Fei, you mustn't be rude to Director Hou," Ouyang Xiong immediately reprimanded.
"It's okay, it's okay, young people, full of vigor, rest assured, we've already dispatched a large number of people..."
"Director Hou..."
At this moment, a person got out of a Mercedes-Benz parked nearby, walking over without even opening an umbrella.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, you're here too."
"Oh, it's all for the sake of this kid Xiaofan. Director Hou, I'm willing to offer five million, I hope you can send more people to quickly save this kid Xiaofan." Liu Zhenghua was also helpless; he was most concerned about his daughter. Watching his precious daughter cry for a whole day in front of the TV, not even attending her classes, worried this father terribly.
"Mr. Liu, you are..."
"If five million isn't enough, how about eight million." Liu Zhenghua immediately increased the reward.
"That's not what I meant, Mr. Liu. I dare say, the people searching are practically all the search and rescue elites of the city, but Baisha Tent is just too large, plus the rain, even police dogs can't continue the search. Don't worry, it's not about the money." Director Hou was also puzzled. Originally he thought the policewoman named Lin Miaoke had quite the status, but he didn't expect that even this high school student would draw so much attention.
Ouyang Xiong and Liu Zhenghua arriving in person already said a lot about Xiaofan's high school student status.
'Boom'
With a tremendous thunderclap, Lin Miaoke subconsciously nestled closer to Xiaofan.
The sky grew darker, and both of their phones were broken, they had no idea what time it was. Stones and soil occasionally fell from the valley, and the pond's water continued to rise higher and higher.
"Hey, Ye Xiaofan."
"Hmm."
"Do you think we might actually die here?"
"I don't know. If it keeps raining like this and we can't get out in four hours, we might drown." Xiaofan looked at the slowly rising water level, his expression very serious.
"Can't you talk nicely, always saying things I can't comprehend. Hey, if we really die, what do you think would be your biggest regret in this life?" Lin Miaoke's voice was soft; at this moment, she no longer minded the skin contact between them, instead feeling a great sense of security being near him.
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan's memories were drawn out. The biggest regret?
Xiaofan first thought of his parents, grandfather. Not being able to stay by their side to take care of them for a lifetime counted as his unfilial behavior, he truly wished his grandfather could see him get married and have children one day, maybe he would laugh so hard all his teeth would fall out. Besides his family, there was Liu Siyan; he hadn't even confessed his feelings to the goddess, not knowing what she thought of him. If possible, walking hand in hand with her for a lifetime would be wonderful. That counts as a regret too, and then there was Shen Zuimo. She...
Thinking of Shen Zuimo, Xiaofan's thoughts came to a halt, he really wanted to go back and eat the meals she prepared for him, if possible, find more chances to tease her. Seeing her angry yet cute face. The anxious expression helpless against him.
"Haha." Thinking of Shen Zuimo's cute demeanor, Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at? What's the biggest regret after all?" Lin Miaoke's curiosity was piqued by Xiaofan's laughter.
"Hmm? The biggest regret, huh. It's not passing on my inherited chromosomes for eighteen years. Not finding them a suitable new home, what a pity. Hehe..." Xiaofan said with a mischievous grin.
"Chromosomes? What's that?" Lin Miaoke thought for a moment, suddenly understanding: "You! You're seriously telling these dirty jokes."
"It's really a regret, isn't it? I haven't even truly been a man yet. What about you? What's your biggest regret? Is it not having someone else's chromosomes move into the house you've prepared? If that's really the case, maybe we could fulfill this biggest regret before we die." Xiaofan's grin grew increasingly sly.
But after Xiaofan finished speaking, there was no response beside him. Turning his head, he saw Lin Miaoke curled up by his side, her body trembling constantly: "Hey, d-do you feel like it's suddenly really cold? Um, can you hug me?"
