You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310 Our Future Life

Bai Rong was starting to regret her willfulness just now. They should not have stayed here. If they had gone to the bamboo house earlier, it would have been safer because it was surrounded by trees that could act as a windbreak.

But it’s too late for them to go to the bamboo house now.

If we go now, we’d be lost in the woods, especially now that it’s dark. We also can’t bring a torch. Even if we can, it’d be easily extinguished by the strong wind. And once it starts to rain, it’ll be completely unusable. Besides, with the muddy road in the rain, the parasol they have would be a burden to carry.

“Sorry, I should’ve listened to you,” Bai Rong apologized.

“It’s not too late to listen to me now.” Gu Mingchen smiled. “Go to bed and stay there until I come back.”

Obeying his instruction, she climbed up to the bed. They used to bring the bamboo ladder onto the bed. But Gu Mingchen was worried that she would come down to look for him, so he put the ladder on the ground and left quickly.

Bai Rong curled up in bed as she waited for her menstrual cramps to stop.

The wind outside whipped up into a frenzy, stirring the leaves and filling her ears with the sound of the rustling leaves.

Putting her arms around herself, she realized that the wind blowing in through the leaves was stronger than she expected.

After fifteen minutes of the huffing wind, it started to rain cats and dogs, pitter-pattered on the wooden planks.

She could even feel the humidity of the rain seeping through the leaves.

What is he doing outside? Did he use the parasol? Is he drenched? Is he in danger?

Thousands of thoughts raced through her mind. She did not have a watch with her. For Bai Rong, it felt like ages in the little shack without Gu Mingchen. The more she waited, the more anxious she felt.

The rain outside did not seem to be stopping any time soon as the pitter-patter and the rustling leaves got louder at each passing moment.

“Gu Mingchen! Gu Mingchen!” she shouted, her voice drowning in the heavy rain.

I want to go down to find him, but I’m also worried I might cause him more trouble. But what if something has happened to him and there’s no one there to save him? If something bad happens to him, I’d blame myself for the rest of my life.

With such thoughts in her mind, she pushed the leaves aside and she was met with a violent gust of wind.

Most of the leaves could no longer withstand the harsh wind and split into two.

The storm continued to brew, barging rudely into the shack.

Bai Rong could not even open her eyes. She squinted and vaguely saw something moving in front of her.

But it was too dark and the rain was too heavy. She could not see clearly what was in front of her. “Gu Mingchen! Gu Mingchen!”

Thud!

Taken aback, she saw an object blocking her view and the rain was gone instantly and the wind became weaker.

“Gu Mingchen!” she hollered again.

“Rong.” It was Gu Mingchen.

Upon hearing his voice, she heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Where did you go? You’ve been out for so long.”

Gu Mingchen raised the torch in his hand, and their surroundings lit up.

Looking down from the bed, she saw that he was soaked to the skin, and there was a piece of fence made with bamboo poles tied together with a rope. “You went to make this?”

He put the ladder against the bed and let her down. “It’s too windy. I don’t think the leaves are strong enough to shield us for long in this weather. Besides, it’s not convenient for us to move in and out of the entrance. Anyway, you must be hungry by now. Go ahead and eat first.”

Holding his arm, she asked, “How long before you’re done? You’re already soaking wet.”
