Chapter 120: Her Request (1)
Was she knocked out by the impact of the explosion? Or was she injured by the collapsing boulders? And...and what if she didn't have enough time to escape before the explosion?
No, it's impossible. Gong Che's hands continued to anxiously wade along the waters. The river eventually reached up to his waist as he looked around in panic, but all he could see was endless water, with its turbid and rolling waves. Where is she? Where could she possibly be?
"Princess! Where are you-"
The urgent calls from the shore was heard by Gong Che. He also wanted to call out to her but for some reason, his throat felt as if it was blocked! As a breeze blew by, Gong Che's eyes had turned scarlet and he couldn't utter a word.
His pitiful cries rang in her ears. It seems that she couldn't bear to push him away.
"Stop scaring me like this. I'm so scared...I'm really scared..."
If he never sees her again...if she dies just like this, he would never forgive himself.
Every word he uttered was endearing. He was stiff and trembling right beside her. Gong Yi Mo suddenly felt embarrassed and panic when she saw his dependence.
This side of him caused Gong Yi Mo's heart to soften. This was her brother, so she decided to softly comfort,
"I didn't mean to scare you...it's because I was entangled by the weeds underneath the river, which had almost cost my life."
As soon as she explained, Gong Che quickly released his embrace and looked at her carefully while asking in panic, "Are you hurt anywhere? Do you feel any pain?"
