Chapter 470 The Rescue
"Qingxuan!" Lin Wanrong was overjoyed, hurriedly wiping away his tears and shouting, "Qingxuan, I'm here, I'm here!"
Darkness pervaded the rubble around him. Xiao Qingxuan's voice echoed for a moment and then vanished. The last traces of warmth were slowly leaving Guo Junyi's body cradled in his arms; her delicate form was growing rigid.
Memories of laughing and joking with the Madam flooded his mind. He had never imagined that one day she would die right before his eyes. Lin Wanrong felt a lump forming in his throat; an unbearable pain surged through him. Gathering his last bit of strength, he let out a scream, "We are here—"
Suffering from extreme lack of oxygen, his voice was weak and hoarse, almost powerless. His breathing became increasingly rapid. Faintly, he could hear the sound of air churning in his lungs, and his consciousness began to waver.
‘Am I going to die?’ His mind was drifting, memories rushing back—the sweetness of leaning on each other with Eldest Miss and Qingxuan in Dangtu Mountain, the warmth of boating in Weishan Lake with An Biru and Xian'er, the steadfast commitment of facing life and death with Fairy Ning.
His nose tingled; he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Holding Guo Junyi's stiffening body tightly against him, he felt her gradually fading warmth and a strange sense of peace washed over him. ‘Is this it? Am I going back to where I came from? Qingxuan, Xian'er, goodbye forever! Fairy Ning, Sister An, I miss you!’
"My Dear, My Dear—" Xiao Qingxuan's soft, weeping voice echoed in his ears, almost inaudible but incredibly clear, "Can you hear me? Respond to me, respond to me!"
His eyelids felt as if they weighed a ton; his consciousness was fading. Hearing that familiar voice, he mustered all his strength, took a breath, and slowly opened his eyes. A sliver of light was projected from the rubble above, illuminating the pale cheeks of Madam Xiao. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her expression peaceful, as if she were a sleeping fairy.
