The earthquake was something Cheng Su had never experienced in either of her two lifetimes; she had only seen its devastation on the news, particularly the earthquake that struck Sichuan one year, which had deeply shocked her. That year, she had donated an entire month’s salary to the disaster area.
Unexpectedly, in this lifetime, she would personally experience an earthquake, and it was indeed as horrific and despairing as she had imagined.
The whole world seemed to be shaking, as if the hand of God prevented anyone from standing, everything upright kept collapsing, houses cracked, and the sounds of steel and concrete bursting were clearly audible.
Cheng Su screamed in terror. In the moment when the bed seemed to be crashing down on her, she thought to herself that this was it, it was really over, she was going to die, and she would never see Qi Taiguo again.
Qi Taiguo, her love. How wonderful it would be to see him again, but now, she never could.
Cheng Su cried out in despair.
The bed did not fall on her as expected; someone was protecting her, and a familiar groan was heard.
A familiar scent surrounded her, and Cheng Su’s head buzzed as she subconsciously called out, "Qi Taiguo?"
"Mhm, I’m here," Qi Taiguo pushed the bed away.
"Qi Taiguo?"
"Mhm!"
"Qi Taiguo? Qi Taiguo?" Cheng Su called out three times incredulously. How could this be? How could he possibly be here?
"Mhm!"
Upon hearing his steady response, Cheng Su’s tears streamed down, and she suddenly clutched at his clothes.
"Follow me!" Qi Taiguo said as he pulled her, crawling on the ground toward the exit.
With Qi Taiguo by her side, Cheng Su’s heart instantly calmed.
As long as he was there, as long as he was by her side, dying was no longer something to fear.
