She started crying.

As Gu Mohan looked at her tear-filled face, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken, witnessing such a scene.

He felt as though someone was squeezing his heart tightly, the pain was sudden and strong. His Adam’s apple bobbed and his originally deep voice sounded ever so gentle. “I didn’t mean to be fierce to you, I’m sorry, please don’t cry...”

It was that same magnetic voice and tone that she was familiar with, he was coaxing her once again. It was her Mr Gu.

Tang Mo’er started sobbing even more, she whimpered, “Gu Mohan, just let go of me... We’ll both fall into the valley if you don’t...”

“I promise to not let anything bad happen to you, hm?”

Yes, she believed him.

Back when she had contracted the love pea poison, Mr Gu had reassured her in that exact same way. He promised to protect her and not let anything bad happen to her, and then... something bad happened to him instead.

She couldn’t let it happen again.

“Gu Mohan, it’s a shame that I won’t have the chance to hear you confess your love to me in this lifetime. But it’s okay. Remember to live on, and live well.”

Tang Mo’er twisted her wrist out of his grasp after she was done with her last words.

Her hands fell away from his palm, he tried to clutch on it tightly but it was useless.

Gu Mohan could only watch as Tang Mo’er fell down the valley. Her glassy eyes were clouded with tears, but her smile towards him was as radiant as the sun.

She wanted to leave those joyful memories for him, even if she was on her last breath.

Gu Mohan was tortured, he didn’t hesitate for even a moment and jumped down after her.

All that was on his mind was to follow Tang Mo’er down.

...

Her lithe body plunged downwards in a frightening free fall, she felt a crazed giddiness and terror consume her. In just a few moments, she would fall to her death.

Inside, she was extremely afraid.

If she were to really die in the wild, her corpse might be eaten up by the wild animals, removing all of her traces.

What a horrible way to die.

How wonderful! Mr Gu isn’t dead!

Mr Gu is still alive!

Gu Mohan sat up. Surprisingly, he hadn’t sustained many injuries other than a lacerated right arm.

Lifting his head, he looked up at the dark sky. “Mo’er, let’s look for a cave to stay in for now.”

...

They managed to find a cave and were also lucky to find some branches and fire starters to keep themselves warm.

After the branches were lit up, Gu Mohan sat in front of the fire while Tang Mo’er started to bandage his wound. She had torn some fabric from her own clothing. The best she could do was to stop the blood.

“Mr Gu, that’s all I can do.”

Gu Mohan’s face was a little pale, but he remained calm and clear-headed. “It’s fine, it’s just that it’s too late right now. We can only wait for sunrise tomorrow before we can try to make our way out.”

“Mm.” Tang Mo’er nodded her head and sneezed. It was cold in the cave.

Though they already had a fire to keep themselves warm, it was almost approaching winter and when taking into account the cold temperatures in the cave, Tang Mo’er was freezing. She hadn’t been wearing much to begin with, and could only hug herself to try to keep warm.

But she suddenly didn’t feel cold anymore, Gu Mohan had draped his overcoat over her shoulders.

The overcoat was still warm from his body heat and it had covered her entire body, protecting her from the cold.

“Mr Gu, but won’t you feel cold after giving me your coat?”

Gu Mohan only had a white shirt on... he must have been freezing.

“No, men are able to tolerate the cold. You should have some rest.”

Tang Mo’er lay on a stack of straw while she looked at Gu Mohan. He sat on the ground with the fire lighting up his face, he still had his suave demeanor, even though he was disheveled after the ordeal down the mountainous terrain.

He was dressed lightly and must have felt cold too.

If he were to continue till sunrise tomorrow, his body was sure to collapse.

“Mr Gu...” Tang Mo’er called him.

As she was calling him, her voice was tender and sweet. Gu Mohan heard her and quickly turned back to check on her.

Her kitten headband was missing and her hair was released from its clasp. With her glassy eyes fixated on his face, she patted the spot beside her. “Mr Gu, come over and sleep here. It’s warmer. Let’s just sleep together.”

She wanted him to come over and sleep with her.

Gu Mohan was indeed feeling cold and her words were like a trigger, making his body temperature rise.
