“…” The younger boy felt a stab of pain in his heart .
His heart ached for his brother .
“Well, don’t imagine things . I’m used to it . ” Mu Yichen laughed lightly and reached to rub his fringe in comfort .
Youyou grabbed his hand unhappily . “Promise me . ”
Advertisement“Mm?”
“Don’t get hurt again . ” He stared into his eyes as he enunciated .
His words left Mu Yichen a little surprised .
He could see the undisguised pain in the other’s eyes .
His heart felt warm .

“All right, I promise!”
“Mm!”
AdvertisementYouyou leaned against the rough stone wall again . His back felt very uncomfortable against the uneven stones . Only after he had taken the effort to adjust the angle did he feel a little better .
Feeling a little tired, he decided to make use of this time to rest for a while .
When he closed his eyes, he heard someone standing up .
His eyes opened in surprise, only to see a large jacket blocking his vision from above .
He waved his hand to pull it off him but was stopped by a forceful hand .
“It’s cold here; don’t get frozen,” said his older twin .
“Aren’t you cold as well?”

“Nope . ” A seemingly mocking smile flashed across his brother’s face . “This is nothing . ”
“Really?” He could not help feeling skeptical .
Mu Yichen pouted . “It’s really not cold . I can even swim a few laps in the lake during winter . ”
In truth?
He was feeling cold, too .
It was bitterly cold and wet in this hole . His scalp was so numb that he felt it was frozen when he frowned .
Shortly after, Lisa returned with a rattan and she dropped one end of it down the hole .

The older boy stood up . The other end of the rattan was firmly tied to a tree by the girl .
“You go first . ” He told his brother .
The younger one shook his head tiredly . “You go up first then pull me . ”
“Okay . Wait for me, then . ”
With his hands grabbing the rattan and his toes perching on the stone wall, he climbed out of the hole in no time .
He turned around and shouted into the hole . “Come up now!”
He seemed to have forgotten that his younger twin had hurt his hand .
AdvertisementEven if the boy was not injured, given his pathetic bit of strength in his arms, there was no way he could climb up .
Bearing the pain from the abrasion between the rattan and his palms, he attempted a few times but fell back to the ground each time .
“I don’t think I have any energy left . ” His voice echoed weakly . “You guys go meet the troops first, and then find a way to rescue me!”
The girl frowned, but before she could reply, his older brother anxiously protested, “No! I can’t leave you here alone!”
“This place is very safe . I’ll wait for you all here . ”
After a pause, Youyou said helplessly, “I really don’t have any strength left; I’m really tired . There’s no way I can climb up as high as this hole’s mouth . ”
“I’ll go down and carry you . ”
“Are you crazy?!”
If he had to carry him on his back, then he would have to bear twice the weight .
If this were prior to this, he believed that his brother could do it .
Now, the latter was exhausted, too . It was impossible for him to do it .
“Brother, don’t worry; it’s very safe here . I’ll stay here and wait for you guys to rescue me,” he insisted .
His older twin could not bear to do so, though .
He continued . “From my estimation, this place isn’t far from the rendezvous point; one hour is enough for a to-and-fro trip . ”
