Tian Xin also knew that Tang Baijin would come, probably because of Bei Ran!
Gu Qingchen, seeing Bei Ran unharmed, finally felt his heart settle.
Hearing her call his name in the darkness, his hand holding the flashlight also lit up with joy.
There was nothing more reassuring for Gu Qingchen than seeing her safe.
But at this moment, there was no time for heart-to-heart talks.
After all, unknown dangers were still waiting for them.
"Bei Ran, what’s the situation like down there?" Gu Qingchen immediately asked.
Bei Ran understood this and immediately said, "It’s all soil down here, and there’s a musty smell. The space isn’t large, only enough for me and Tian Xin to stay, but we don’t have the strength to climb up."
"Take a closer look, is there any other way out?" Gu Qingchen squatted beside the trap.
"Okay, wait a moment, I’m looking now..." Bei Ran promptly responded.
Tang Baijin watched their seamless cooperation, even in moments of danger, they could work together so well, and he couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
Perhaps, just as Bei Ran had said, the most beautiful love he had with her was like dandelions scattered in the memory, extremely beautiful, but without an ending.
A tranquil and lasting life somehow seeps into the entire body like blood, and it’s too late to disentangle oneself from it.
Tang Baijin’s head was buzzing. He didn’t realize what they were talking about until Gu Qingchen nudged him, "Throw your shirt down!"
Tang Baijin, unaware of their previous conversation, thought it was something Bei Ran needed, so he swiftly took it off and tossed it down.
Even though Bei Ran was no longer his girlfriend, he would still give her anything she wanted, let alone just a shirt!
Bei Ran caught Tang Baijin’s shirt and put it on Tian Xin.
A man’s shirt can certainly be worn as a dress by a woman.
After putting on the shirt, which reached her knees, Tian Xin glanced at Tang Baijin. The shirt still smelled of the steel rebar and concrete from the construction site, but for some reason, it felt particularly heartwarming – perhaps it was the real touch that could open up one’s heart.
Bei Ran asked Gu Qingchen to find a piece of clothing for Tian Xin. Tian Xin didn’t have a man, and how could such a young woman walk out bare?
Especially since there were two men above!
And there Gu Qingchen was, taking advantage of Tang Baijin’s momentary daze, and directly asked him to take off his shirt and gave it to Bei Ran.
It wasn’t until then that Tang Baijin realized what had happened, and he glared at Gu Qingchen, who pretended to see nothing. Instead, he ordered, "Keep an eye on them; I’m going to get a rope from the car!"
Tang Baijin, looking at Bei Ran trapped below, called out hoarsely, "Bei Ran..."
"Baijin, thank you for coming!" Bei Ran gazed at him, her lips curving into a slight smile.
Tang Baijin didn’t say a word. A simple "thank you" could signify a distant strangeness.
Gu Qingchen quickly came back with the rope and threw it down, "Bei Ran, hold on tight, I’m going to pull you up."
Bei Ran helped Tian Xin up, "Xinxin, do you still have the strength to hold on to the rope?"
Tian Xin shook her head, "I still feel weak; Ranran, you go up first..."
"How could I leave you down here alone?" Bei Ran picked her up, "Let’s go up together!"
"But, with this weight..." Tian Xin sighed.
Bei Ran chuckled, "Aren’t there two men above? Let them pull together!"
As she spoke, she wound the rope around her and Tian Xin, binding them together. She knew the two men above probably still couldn’t stand each other, but in this moment of danger, they couldn’t afford discord.
"Qingchen, Baijin, pull together," Bei Ran said, "I’m bringing Tian Xin up with me..."
"Alright..." Tang Baijin and Gu Qingchen grabbed the rope together and pulled Bei Ran and Tian Xin up.
The moment Gu Qingchen had Bei Ran in his arms, truly feeling her in his embrace, his heart was truly throbbing with excitement.
Bei Ran also held him tightly. She hadn’t been trapped for long, but she had missed him so much...
Tang Baijin felt like a superfluous person and turned to leave.
"Tang Baijin..." Gu Qingchen called him back, "Tian Xin was exposed to Chloroform, the effects haven’t worn off yet. Take her to the hospital. I’ll take Bei Ran to the hospital for a check-up as well..."
