Chapter 875 875. With Him Here, She Is Not Alone or Afraid

"I don't believe it." It was still dark all around, "It's still early."

"Really." Gu Jinzhi was determined, "In half an hour, Huo Chen will find us."

"Really?" Wen He was doubtful.

"Throughout this journey, when have the words I've said been in vain?"

Gu Jinzhi coughed dryly. The sound was no longer so pleasant, with a sense of blockage and stagnation, and an imperceptible weakness.

It seemed that every word he spoke took a lot of energy from him.

"Hold on for another half hour, okay?"

"good."

Wen He nodded.

Time passed little by little. Even if Wen He didn't know how long it had passed, he could guess that more than half an hour had passed.

The blur of consciousness made her a little impatient.

"No matter, I'm going to bed. I'll talk to you when I wake up!"

"Wen He!"

His arm was suddenly pinched again, and Gu Jinzhi's tone was unprecedentedly anxious, even with a hint of pleading.

"In the last half hour, rescue will definitely arrive, believe me!"

Wen He licked his dry lips, but was finally defeated by his rare pleading tone.

"Well, I was really sleepy for the last half hour."

She felt like she could fall asleep if she closed her eyes.

"good."

The two chatted for a while.

Sensing that Wen He's voice was getting lower, Gu Jinzhi was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I really have a secret that I haven't told you..."

Before Wen He asked, he chuckled, his voice tinged with tenderness, "When we go back, you go find me, and I'll tell you then."

"Um……"

Wen He responded unconsciously, holding on to his strength.

Gu Jinzhi knew that she couldn't hold on any longer, so he racked his brains to think of ways to keep her awake.

Suddenly, his ears caught a burst of small but chaotic footsteps.

He smiled.

"Wen He."

He grasped Wen He's little hand, his voice was gentle, and there was a trace of tiredness that finally relaxed.

"Huo Chen is here."

"ah?"

Wen He felt as if he had been given a shot of cardiotonic, and his ears pricked up. Sure enough, he heard footsteps, and he was surprised and happy!

She instinctively held Gu Jinzhi's hand, not knowing where she got the strength, and shouted excitedly, "Really, I heard footsteps, it must be Huo Chen and the others! Gu Jinzhi, we are saved, We can survive!"

"Um……"

Gu Jinzhi responded in a low voice, without covering up, and his voice was full of fatigue.

"I'll take a break and you can wait in peace, okay?"

"Okay, go to sleep."

After answering, Wen He was startled and suddenly realized that Gu Jinzhi seemed to be always asking for her opinions today, completely losing his usual domineering attitude.

He was no longer gentle and considerate. Thinking of this, she squeezed the hand held by him, and the smile she raised was so warm.

"Gu Jinzhi, a disaster like yours will last for thousands of years."

With him around, she wasn't alone, nor was she afraid.

"..."

Gu Jinzhi's dim eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.

For a moment, no one could understand the deep look in his eyes.

In the end, he just squeezed Wen He's finger back.

"When you get back, remember to go to my house." After a pause, he suddenly smiled, "And... spend time with Huo Chen."

Wen He was a little confused, "Why are you talking about this so politely? Go to sleep. When you wake up, we can go back."
