Chapter 52: Follow His Heart

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

As it was getting darker and darker, people could barely see clearly the surroundings in the mountain.

Since they couldn’t get out of the mountain tonight, so they had to find a place to hide themselves. God knew whether there were any beasts in the mountain appearing at night.

“Han, we can’t get out tonight. Let’s climb up to the tree to have a rest.”

Si Yuhan nodded and said, “Okay!”

Ke Ruan raised his head. His gaze fell on a big tree with strong branches. Ke Ruan thought it should be safe to sleep on it. Then he walked towards the tree with Si Yuhan.

As he drew near to the tree, he suddenly found something strange.

He felt that there was something wrong with the ground under his feet. Before he could react, the ground suddenly caved in and the gravity made him drop down immediately. He reached out his arms to hold Si Yuhan and tried his best to slow down the speed of falling down. Finally, they landed on the ground. Ke Ruan felt that his leg had been crippled and he couldn’t use any words to describe his current feeling.

He released Si Yuhan before he fell down and blacked out.

Si Yuhan frowned. Under the moonlight, he could see Ke Ruan’s pale face. He squatted down and eyed him closely. He touched his face and said, “Ke Ruan, I thought I knew you very well. But now, why can’t I see through you? What are you thinking?”

He turned to look at his leg. It had earlier been hurt by the beast trap. When Ke Ruan just fell down, the leg first touched the ground, so the injury became severe. If he couldn’t be treated in time, his leg would forever be crippled.

Si Yuhan sat down on the ground. He leaned back on the wall and sneered while thinking, ‘One leg for a life. You’ve made a good bargain.’

After a long time, Ke Ruan woke up in pain. Since it was already pitch dark, he could only stretched out his hands to feel his surroundings. He called Si Yuhan, “Han, where are you?”

Si Yuhan opened his eyes and glanced at him. After a moment of silence, he extended his hand to him.

Ke Ruan held Si Yuhan’s hand and let out a sigh of relief, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“That’s good.” After saying that, Ke Ruan released his hand and began to check his leg. He hoped that his leg didn’t fracture. Otherwise, in such a place, a fracture meant that he would be crippled.

After checking his legs carefully, he smiled out of relief. It wasn’t a big matter. There was only a dislocation of his ankle and his one knee hand been hurt. There was nothing serious about it. With his status, he could slowly recuperate after returning to the country.

Ke Ruan clenched his teeth and twisted his ankles. With a ‘swish’ sound, his face twisted in pain. The agony in his eyes was obvious. He was a doctor. He had seen all kinds of patients and given them all kinds of surgery, but the premise was that he used anesthetic before the surgery.

Ever since he had come to this world, he had been injured more than once. Every time he had to endure the pain. He thought he was about to explode.

“Han, come over here.”

Si Yuhan moved towards him, and Ke Ruan hugged him in his arms. Si Yuhan subconsciously wanted to struggle.

Ke Ruan said weakly, “Don’t move, good boy. I’m exhausted. It’s cold at night. Be good, we’ll find a way to get out tomorrow.”

Si Yuhan felt the heart between their chests beat violently. But he didn’t know whether it was his or Ke Ruan’s.

Ke Ruan protected Si Yuhan’s head and leaned back. He gently patted his back with one hand, patiently consoling him. Si Yuhan had only experienced this kind of treatment from that maid.

His eyes became moist. He closed his eyes and just wanted to follow his heart this time. He was too obsessed with the warmth.

As for Lin Qingye, he was tangled by that beard man. When he returned to the house, it had been two hours latter than usual. He found Ke Ruan and Si Yuhan weren’t at home.
