Chapter 529: Chapter 523 They were Saved Chapter 529: Chapter 523 They were Saved She hastily clung to the two large cotton coats, instinctively searching for sothing.
Suddenly, the tent curtain moved, and a figure entered from outside, bringing with him the cold from outdoors and an icy chill that clung to his body.
“So you’re awake?”
Gu Ning walked in, setting down the firewood he’d gathered.
He added a few more pieces to the fire.
Thankfully, their specially designed tent allowed for a fire to be lit inside.
Yet even then, they dared not be too bold, stoking only a moderate fire.
Tang Yuxin quickly passed Gu Ning’s cotton coat to him.
...
“I’m not cold,” Gu Ning shook off the snow from his hands and draped the coat over Tang Yuxin’s head to keep her warm.
At this ti, Tang Yuxin was swathed in coats with only her head peeking out, but she was indeed warm.
Especially when the warm glow from the fire flickered across her face, the heat was almost unspoken.
The snow on Gu Ning’s feet had also lted.
In the faint glow of the fire, his rugged, seldom-smiling face was illuminated.
He wasn’t much for smiling, his disposition had always been a little cold.
But Tang Yuxin knew, he was an exceptional man.
He could selflessly devote himself to a woman, regardless of how she treated him.
Even if he had to sacrifice his own kidneys, she was the one who would always be on his mind.
At this point, a small wave of resentnt stirred in Tang Yuxin’s heart.
Truly, good cabbages were always taken by the pigs.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Looking up, Gu Ning noticed Tang Yuxin lost in thought, seemingly holding a grudge against soone.
“What are you thinking about?”
He asked the question casually.
But it made Tang Yuxin slightly nervous.
He had an intimidatingly perceptive nature.
“Nothing?

I’m just having trouble sleeping,” said Tang Yuxin as she wrapped her coat tighter around herself, not noticing the remnants of snow on Gu Ning’s clothes.
“It has stopped snowing outside, hasn’t it?”
She listened to the sounds above the tent.
She had grown accustod to the sounds of falling snow.
The quiet night was unlike any other during this long period.
Even the fluttering sound of snow was absent.
“Yeah, it’s stopped.”
Gu Ning threw another piece of firewood into the fire, his hands large and extrely dry.
They were capable of shielding a woman from the storm, providing a calm and serene sky.
However, this sky could not belong to Zhang Xiaoi.
“Uncle Gu, let’s share the coat,” Tang Yuxin offered, pulling a part of the coat from her body.
It was Gu Ning’s, she couldn’t keep it all to herself.
When she was cold, so were others.
Everybody felt the cold.
Everyone has flesh and blood, nobody is different from the other.
Everyone feels thirst, hunger, pain, and cold.
And at tis like this, there was no need to distinguish between male and female.
In Tang Yuxin’s eyes, she did not see much difference between n and won.
Besides, as a doctor, hadn’t she seen many naked male bodies during surgeries?
In her eyes, Gu Ning had always been like family.
Gu Ning didn’t say anything.
He did not reject nor accept her offer, as Tang Yuxin moved closer to him.
She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
She sensed a familiar presence next to her, the familiar scent, the shared warmth.
As the saying goes, when everyone huddled together, they were warm and no one would freeze to death.
It was indeed the case.
Tang Yuxin closed her eyes, anticipating a good night’s sleep.
She would have to venture out again tomorrow to find more herbs.
The two patients had run out of dicine.
Now was the most critical and dangerous ti for them.
They could lack anything, but not dicine.
Fortunately, their conditions were now stable.
After a few days of good care, they would be fine.
She did not want to lose them due to a lack of dicine, leading her to feel that her role as a doctor was sowhat wasted.
So she lay there, dazed and lost in her thoughts, until she finally fell asleep without even realizing it.
“Yuxin, Yuxin, wake up.”
Gu Ning was patting Tang Yuxin’s face.
Everyone was awake except for her.
It was not surprising considering how he had woken her up several tis during the night.
She had gone to bed late and was having trouble getting up in the morning.
“Hmm, is it daylight?”
“Yes, it is,” Gu Ning patted Tang Yuxin’s head, first playfully mussing her hair before carefully arranging it again.
“Get dressed, we have to leave here soon.”
Leave, imdiately?
Tang Yuxin, who was still sowhat dazed, opened her eyes wide, “We are leaving?
Where are we going?
Are they able to move?”
Wait, she had just realised what she asked was irrelevant.
As their primary doctor, she should know better than anyone else whether the patients could be moved.
The patients were not in a state to be moved at the mont.
Tang Yuxin quickly put on her coat, adamant about not letting anyone move the patients.
If anything went wrong, lives would be at risk.
Especially in this desolate place where even the basic dication for ergency treatnt was not available, how would they be able to save the patients’ lives?
“Don’t worry,” Gu Ning picked up his military coat, but instead of wearing it, he draped it over Tang Yuxin.
“They’ve found us.
We can return real soon.”
As Tang Yuxin was buttoning up her coat, she was taken aback by the sudden news.
Surprised, yes.
Happy, she had yet to register this emotion.
Just as she was about to ask another question, she heard noises outside.
There were cries, consoling words, and nurous footsteps.
Having survived a great disaster, they were blessed with good fortune.
Tang Yuxin patted her chest.
Her heart had finally settled, even though she had yet to transition from surprise to joy.
At this ti, it was a clear day outside.
The winter snow still covered the ground, but the chilling fear that had remained in their hearts against the snow had lted away.
Their skies were finally clear.
When Tang Yuxin finally stepped out of the tent, there were already many people outside, all busy packing up.
