Lu Weixi struggled to lift her head, Qin Zhiyou was right above her, holding tightly to her hand with one hand and grasping a knife with the other, the knife thrust forcefully into the ground. He also hadn’t slept for three days, was highly strung, and had been on the run. Ordinarily, if he had had enough energy, it might not have been so difficult, he might have been able to pull her up with strength. But now, he could barely maintain his grip, preventing Lu Weixi from falling, already overexerting his own strength, let alone anything else.
"Zhiyou, let go," Lu Weixi saw that the knife he held could no longer support the weight of two people and was continuously shifting towards the cliff edge. She feared that if this continued, Qin Zhiyou would fall down with her.
"You, are, saying, what!" Qin Zhiyou gritted his teeth, each word popping out as if he exhausted all his strength, his face contorted intensely. He was originally very handso, but at this mont, his twisted features were far from "handso." However, in Lu Weixi’s eyes, perhaps also due to the firelight below her, she felt that Qin Zhiyou at this mont was the most handso she had ever seen in her life. Even if she were to die here today, having t such a handso man, she had no regrets.
"Let go, if this continues, both of us will die here."
"I, am, right, here!" Qin Zhiyou declared, clenching his teeth hard, "I, am not going anywhere!" So, you also hold on, never give up until the last mont!
However, it wasn’t that Lu Weixi didn’t want to give up, but that she could not just by wanting. As they both persisted, the downward sliding trend of the knife was equally rapid! Eventually, the knife broke through the cliff edge, failing to support the weight of two people, and fell down. Qin Zhiyou also followed the knife, moving forward, his body sliding down significantly.
"Let go!" Having not eaten for three days, Lu Weixi had even lost the capability to cry. It wasn’t about whether she could persist or not now, but even if Qin Zhiyou didn’t let go, she was losing her strength. Especially since she felt sothing warm and surging flowing beneath her.
It was amniotic fluid. She was just a few days shy of eight months pregnant, having spent three days and nights outside, battling through a night, her water had broken!
Her already nearly depleted strength was rapidly dissipating along with the outflow of this warm surge. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to strive; she genuinely couldn’t. The light in her eyes was slowly dissipating, and her body was becoming soft and light.
"Zhiyou, let go. I really can’t hold on anymore!"
Qin Zhiyou seed also to feel her will fading, the grip on her hand becoming increasingly slack. His teeth were clenched so tightly, blood even started to erge from his mouth corners. But he kept exerting force, still lifting upwards: "I’d rather die than let go! Don’t even think about leaving like this, get rid of that idea!"
But human effort is often insignificant and futile. Even if he exerted more force, with no support point, he was being pulled continuously downward!
Visibly, the two moved forward, forward, then even more forward. In just another ten seconds, even if Lu Weixi didn’t give up, Qin Zhiyou didn’t let go, they both would fall down together!
"Zhiyou, let go!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Just as both were about to fall!
