Both of them were starving, so they found an open space nearby to sit down. Fang Yuxin didn’t have the heart to make food and simply took some cooked food out from the space, sharing some with Bai Ye. The two of them resolved their lunch in a very simple manner.
The condition of the highway was poor due to the previous earthquake, filled with cracks of all sizes. Fang Yuxin thought for a moment, and decided to take out two motorcycles from the space. She and Bai Ye took one each and followed the highway, planning to make their way back to the motel.
The road conditions were extremely bad, but motorcycles were not as picky as cars, and both of them had decent riding skills. Moreover, compared to Fang Yuxin, Bai Ye’s skills were even better.
At first, the road surface was relatively smooth, just more cracks, and they didn’t feel much pressure. But gradually, as the condition of the road worsened, Fang Yuxin started to feel overextended.
When Bai Ye saw Fang Yuxin almost fall for the third time, he could no longer stand by and shouted at Fang Yuxin, "Yuxin, stop! This is too dangerous to continue!"
While speaking, Bai Ye rode his motorcycle in front of Fang Yuxin, forcing her to stop. Fang Yuxin was anxious, wishing she could immediately fly to her family’s side, but the terrible road conditions forced her to slow down!
Bai Ye jumped off his motorcycle, walked over, and pulled Fang Yuxin down from hers, shouting at her with an ugly expression, "Even if you worry about your family’s safety, you can’t disregard your own!"
"What should I do?" Fang Yuxin snapped back, "We don’t know where they are right now, how they are faring, whether they are injured, and the later we return, the more danger they’ll be in! I wish I could just grow wings and fly back right now!"
After speaking, Fang Yuxin was about to turn and get back on her motorcycle. Bai Ye, in a panic, pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly, patting her back to calm her down, "Don’t be nervous! I’ll help you! I’ll be there for you! Trust me, okay?" After saying that, he held Fang Yuxin’s face to make her look at him.
Fang Yuxin frowned uncomfortably, the intimacy of the proximity unsettling her. They both wore protective suits that clung to their skin, almost as if they weren’t wearing clothes at all. Leaning against Bai Ye, she could even feel his burning body temperature through the thin protective gear, as if even the surrounding air had become searing hot.
Fang Yuxin struggled to push Bai Ye away but hesitated upon meeting his gaze.
