‘Shuangshuang? It’s really him!’
The voice got louder and nearer to her . His voice filled Zhou Shuang with hope and cast away her doubts .
She was determined to stay alive so she tried her best to yell as loud as she could . “Lu Yinan! I’m here!”
It was the loudest she could yell at the moment . But it wasn’t loud enough that it didn’t reach the top .
It wasn’t loud enough for Lu Yinan to hear her .
She clutched tightly to the rock for her dear life, trying her best not to slip and fall . She had no idea how long she could hold on .
Lu Yinan’s voice got nearer, but she couldn’t see him . Zhou Shuang knew that he was somewhere around .
“Lu Yinan! Come nearer . Nearer!”
Zhou Shuang gritted her teeth, and she attempted to hoist herself up once more . Beads of perspiration rolled down from her forehead . Her palms were covered with a mixture of blood and open flesh .
She couldn’t find anything to support her legs and weight . She stretched her legs desperately to the side .
‘Eh?’ It seemed like she finally found a sturdy rock . Surprise filled her eyes and she felt less anxious .
Zhou Shuang heaved a sigh of relief as she took a rest . After a while, she tried to climb up, with her feet still on the rock .
“Ahhh…”
She had placed her entire weight on that rock . Unfortunately, the rock slipped and moved and she screamed in fear . Flustered and terrified, she gripped the rock tightly once more .
Pain was no longer her concern . All she wanted was to stay alive .
She had exhausted all her energy and her hands began to slip off the rock .
“Zhou Shuang! Shuangshuang!”
Lu Yinan’s frantic yells came from above once more . Zhou Shuang sensed that he was just right on top of her . If he bent and peered down, he could spot her .
She raised her head to search for him . The sunlight blinded her eyes and she squinted uncomfortably .
‘Lu Yinan, if you appear before me at the next moment, I’ll go back with you,’ Zhou Shuang thought silently to herself .
Perhaps it was the sunlight, Zhou Shuang’s eyes glistened and turned red .
She had never yearned to see him so much . All she wanted was to hug and dive into his embrace—to get his love and concern .
A moment happened in the blink of an eye . How could he possibly appear at the next moment?
“Shuangshuang!”
Zhou Shuang bowed her head in despair and disappointment as her fingers began to lose grip . Lu Yinan’s anxious and worried voice sounded right above her .
Her eyes gleamed with hope and she raised her head . Happiness was etched all over her filthy face .
“Lu Yinan, do you want to die? Why do you keep shouting?”
“If I die, who would save you?”
He darted down like an arrow, and it terrified Zhou Shuang . “Be careful…”
She hadn’t finished her sentence when the rock that Lu Yinan stepped on shifted . Lu Yinan slipped a little and fell backward .
Zhou Shuang was terrified and she began to climb upward with an unknown source of strength again .
“Don’t move, I’ll come to you . ” Lu Yinan merely slipped, but he found his balance once again .
He saw that Zhou Shuang was trying to climb up on her own . He spotted her bleeding hands and his heart ached terribly . He hastened his speed towards her .
As he climbed down, the climb became more treacherous and dangerous . How he wished he could fly to her right now .
Zhou Shuang’s heart trembled with fear with every step he took . Her shirt was soaked with perspiration, and tears streamed down her face .
