The excruciating pain in her foot forced her to sit down. She took off her shoes, discovering that her entire foot was swollen. No wonder; she had twisted her ankle when she fell and then continued to move around for a while after that.
It was getting dark, and the temperature in the forest was dropping quickly. Soon, Cheng Ke Xin began to shiver from the cold.
I wonder how Qiu Yue will explain her whereabouts to everyone when she goes back. Will they come looking for her? Could she really spend the whole night in this cave? What if a wild animal suddenly comes out in the middle of the night?
The more Cheng Ke Xin thought about these nonsensical questions, the more afraid she became. What if they couldn't find her? What if she died here?
No, absolutely not! She has a little one to look after, she absolutely can't get into anything.

Hurriedly pulling out her phone, Cheng Kexin found there was still no signal. Angry, she threw the phone aside and, clinging to a glimmer of hope that someone might pass by, she shouted loudly towards the mouth of the cave: "Is anyone there? Someone fell down here, help! Is anyone there?!"

She cried out again and again, her voice hoarse from shouting, but she still received no answer.
Spending a night here with no insulation, she would surely freeze to death. Moreover, the pain in her foot seemed to be getting worse and worse. Cheng KeXin was enveloped by an atmosphere of utter despair.
When Cheng Kexin had already lost all hope, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from above calling anxiously, "Kexin, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Has someone finally come to look for her? Cheng Keqin's heart instantly rose with hope, and she looked up in surprise. She found Gu Chi squatting at the entrance of the cave, looking at her with concern.
She was surprised he had found her, a wave of emotion washing over Cheng Ke Xin. But after the initial joy, she felt a strange bitterness in her heart. Wasn't he supposed to be staying with Wenxin? Why was he back now?
Seeing Cheng Ke Xin didn't answer his question, Gu Chi still thought she was hurt by something. Supporting the edge of the pit with one hand, he jumped down without hesitation.
He rushed to Cheng Ke Xin's side, his face full of anxiety. At a glance, Gu Chi saw her swollen and discolored feet. A surge of tenderness filled his heart. He crouched down, wanting to rub them for her, but hesitated to touch, afraid of hurting her further.
"Does it hurt?" Raising his head to look at Cheng Ke Xin, Gu Chi asked with tenderness in his eyes. After asking, he scolded himself inwardly for being a fool, swollen like this, how could he not be in pain?
Seeing Cheng Kexin's body trembling slightly, Gu Chi hurriedly took off his own coat and put it on her, "I'm sorry, Kexin, I'm late. It's okay, don't be afraid, we can leave right away."
Feeling Gu Chi's gentle words and actions, Cheng Ke Xin's tears swirled in her eyes. She bit her lip hard and asked with a hint of defiance, "Aren't you with Wen Xin? What are you doing here to find me?"
Hearing Cheng Ke Xin's obviously jealous tone, Gu Chi didn't know whether he should be angry or amused.
Caressing Cheng Ke Xin's lips gently, preventing her from biting him, Gu Chi softly replied, "There's nothing between me and her, don't overthink it. Besides, I was with her because you arranged it."
Glancing at Cheng Keixin with a hint of displeasure, Gu Chi continued, "Keixin, I don't like that woman named Xin. From the beginning to the end, the person I truly care about is only you. Please stop pushing me towards other women, okay? If this continues for too long, I will also be heartbroken."
Hearing Gu Chi say this, Cheng Ke Xin's tears finally couldn't help but flow out. Her heart was filled with a thousand emotions: grievance, sadness, fear, and an indescribable joy.
With his finger, Gu Chi wiped Cheng Ke Xin's tears and held her in his embrace. "I'm so sorry, Ke Xin, I'm sorry. It was my fault that I didn't come sooner to save you. You must have been terrified."
