However, the more Gu Manxue felt nervous, the more worried she felt. Mu Hengyue was chatting with her about daily life and completely ignored where she was right now. This feeling made Gu Manxue feel quite dissatisfied.

"Uncle Mu, don't you think that you really have a reason to be the leader?" Gu Ruoyun's face was ashen as she coldly snorted.

Mu Heng was clearly surprised as he asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"

"The situation outside is so serious, yet you're talking about family matters here. Don't you have the time to take care of the people who lost their family?" Gu Ruoyun had a very cute and serious look on her face.

Especially when she spoke, there was something convincing and even confident about it.

Mu Heng chuckled before he stood up and coughed, "Little girl Gu is right. I've really become the leader."

When the soldier at the side heard Mu Heng's words, he anxiously called out, "Chief!"

"Little girl Gu, I really like you more and more. No wonder that stinky brat at my house is so obsessed with you. Actually, I only wanted to see what's so special about you, but now it seems that your thoughts aren't on that stinky brat at home. What a pity." Mu Heng took in a deep breath, obviously disappointed.

"Uncle Mu …" Gu Ruoyun felt somewhat embarrassed. She hadn't thought that he would do this only to probe her. Even after feeling embarrassed for a while, she still felt an intense nervousness in her heart.

"Uncle Mu, can you tell me where Chu Hao went?"

"Are you going to look for him? Can your feet handle it? " Mu Heng looked at Gu Manxue with a smile, but there was a trace of deep meaning in her eyes.

Gu Manxue nodded resolutely, "I need to go find him. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease at all."

"What's the matter? Or do you like him at all? " Mu Heng laughed out loud. He looked at Gu Ruoyun's red face and found her even more adorable.

He had no daughter, only a son like Mu Ran. Now that he saw the unavoidable liking of Gu Ruoyun, he felt that it was a pity. Why was it that Mu Ran had been unable to catch her? Now, the Chu Clan's brat had taken the lead.

"Gu girl, you didn't go to that place." Mu Heng sighed as his tone showed helplessness, "In the days when you weren't here, a mudslide occurred in front of us. Luckily, we managed to disperse the villagers, but even so, a little girl was left behind and Chen Zhenxuan was still there to save her."

"And then?" Gu Manxue asked nervously. Hearing such a dangerous story, her heart was on edge.

"After that, Chen Zhenxuan lost contact with us. Yesterday morning, we found that little girl, but Chen Zhenxuan …" Mu Heng sighed, "We have already sent many people to search for him. We will definitely find him."

Gu Manxue sat there with a dull expression and did not move for a while. She knew how dangerous it was, and she had known it since the moment she had arrived.

Only at this moment did she really panic. She didn't want anything to happen to Chen Zhenxuan, but since she came here, who was the one she was thinking about the most?

It wasn't Chen Zhenxuan, but Chu Haolong. She really was a heartless woman!

Aunt Wang was still waiting at home for Chen Zhenxuan. Chen Zhenxuan couldn't let anything happen to him. Otherwise, how would she face Aunt Wang? She was afraid Aunt Wang would hate her for the rest of her life?

She knew, she knew, how terrible it was to be hated by someone.

Thus, no matter what, she must not let anything happen to Chen Zhenxuan.

"I still want to go." Gu Ruoyun resolutely said, her eyes gleaming with a cold light.

Mu Heng sighed and said something to the soldier behind him. The soldier immediately responded and casually took out a coat to hand to Gu Qingxue.

"Miss Gu, it's very cold outside. Wear it to warm up."

"Thank you." Gu Ruoyun received it with a smile. Her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at Mu Heng.

"He'll go with you in a bit, and come back when he's in danger. Where are our soldiers? Don't be afraid!" Mu Heng patted her shoulder to cheer her on.

Gu Manxue nodded and followed the soldier out. It was truly cold outside and dark, but the rain had stopped.

As the two of them walked under the dim light, Gu Manxue's legs limped, and every step she took caused her to feel bone-piercing pain.

The little soldier seemed to have deliberately been waiting for her. He didn't walk very quickly, but Gu Qingxue felt more and more anxious.

"Let's speed up." Gu Manxue gritted her teeth and spoke to the soldier.

The soldier looked very surprised and subconsciously glanced at her injured foot, "Miss Gu, your foot isn't good. It's best if you don't walk so fast."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Ruoyun grinned and continued to move forward quickly.

"Miss Gu, you must be worried about your boyfriend, right?" The little soldier stretched out his hand, exhaled, and asked with a smile.

Gu Manxue was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to answer. Who was she worried about? Chu Haolong or Chen Zhenxuan? At the moment, they seemed to be a bit worried.

"Well, I'm really worried about them. I don't want to see anything happen to any of them." Gu Manxue said lightly, but her eyes were full of sadness.

What could a woman do to help? She was just a burden, but she didn't ask for anything. She just wanted to see them safe.

"The one in front is young master Chu, right?" The soldier pointed to the front in surprise.

Gu Ruoyun was stunned for a moment. She looked up ahead. There was indeed a figure up ahead, but because it was too dark, she couldn't see it clearly. It seemed like the figure was carrying someone on its back, making it difficult to walk forward step by step.

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and quickly ran over, completely ignoring the wounds on her feet.

"Chu Haolong! "You idiot, is that you?"

Hearing Gu Manxue's shout, the figure clearly stopped in his tracks, and just watched as she ran towards them.

As she ran in front of him, she could finally see clearly. Who else could that figure be other than Chu Haolong? Even though he was dirty, she could tell at a glance.

"Idiot!" She quickly ran over and threw herself into his arms, "Didn't we say we were going to look for me? Why didn't you come? And they even went out of their own accord? "

"Snowy …"

His voice was weary and hoarse, but his eyes glimmered in the darkness, brimming with surprise and joy.

Gu Manxue ignored the tears that were covering her face and simply smashed against his chest. Her face was filled with hidden bitterness as she said, "Is there any meaning in playing the hero? "Big idiot, you really are big idiot!"

Chu Haolong smiled and said in a soft voice, "Chen Zhenxuan has brought it back, you can't ignore me for the rest of your life."

She looked at the outline in front of her through her tears. She didn't know why, but after hearing Chu Haolong's words, her heart ached and her tears continued to fall.

"Young master Chu, let me do it." The little soldier hurriedly took the unconscious Chen Zhenxuan from his back and walked towards the tent.

Only now did Gu Ruoyun realize that it was Chen Zhenxuan. She quickly chased after the soldier, even forgetting about Chu Haolong.

"Little soldier, how is he? Is he all right? "

"He's probably unconscious. We should hurry and send him to the military doctors." The little soldier anxiously asked.

Chu Haolong looked at Gu Manxue's shadow and the corner of her mouth slowly raised into a smile. She couldn't hold on any longer and fell down.

The next day, when he woke up, he was already in the hospital. He turned around and found the small ward empty without a single person in sight.

Inexplicably disappointed, he sighed and raised his head to look at the sky.

With a squeak, the door to the ward was opened. Gu Manxue walked in with hot water in her hand.

"You're awake?"

"You're still here?"

The two of them asked at the same time. Chu Haolong put away his surprised expression, coughed and continued to ask, "How is he?"

"He's in the next ward. I just went to see him. He should be awake by noon."

For some unknown reason, the two of them suddenly separated. Gu Manxue quietly poured a cup of warm water and passed it to him with self-reproach in her eyes.

"Sorry, when you passed out last night, I wasn't by your side, at that time …"

"I understand." Chu Haolong smiled, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Now that Chen Zhenxuan has returned, you are still his girlfriend."

Gu Manxue couldn't help knitting her brows when she heard this. She didn't know what he meant, but she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

"My duty has been accomplished. Maybe it's time for me to go back." Chu Haolong faintly opened his mouth. The helplessness and disappointment in his eyes were getting deeper and deeper.

"Chu Haolong..."

"Don't talk about it. I would understand even if you didn't say it."

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say …" Gu Manxue spoke with some anxiety, but she couldn't open her mouth to look at Chu Haolong.

"Say what? Did I disturb you? Your feet are inconvenient, you really shouldn't have taken care of us. I'll call Manager Li now and have him come pick me up. You can discuss this after he wakes up. " After Chu Haolong finished speaking with an indifferent tone, he picked up his phone and was about to make a call.

"Just wait for me to finish!" Gu Ruoyun anxiously snatched his phone away, her face full of anxiety.

Chu Haolong had completely adapted to Gu Manxue's actions, but he still didn't understand what she meant.

"What are you going to say?"

"I want to say, what I really like is …"

"Snowy …" A pale and powerless voice came from the door. Chen Zhenxuan was wearing patient clothes as he stood at the door, looking at the two of them with a profound look in his eyes.

Gu Ruoyun's heart trembled when she saw Chen Zhenxuan's sudden appearance. For a moment, she panicked, not knowing what to do.

"Zhenxuan, you're awake." Gu Manxue said dejectedly.

Chen Zhenxuan completely ignored her expression. He walked in and his eyes fell on Chu Haolong's face.

The two of them looked at each other, and it was as if the sparks produced by their collision could be heard in the air.

"Why?" Chu Haolong curled his lips and coldly looked at him.

"Chu Haolong, you're a real man!" Chen Zhenxuan sincerely opened his mouth, his eyes filled with admiration. "Yesterday was such a vicious day. I thought I would definitely die. I never thought you would save me!"
