Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Xiao Yue Will Be Angry
2:00 AM.
Si Yu rushed non-stop all the way to the cliff where Tang Jun had his accident. Hearing that Yuan Yu had already led a few people to search, he instructed, "Within a radius of five kilometers, first search the top of the cliff, then perform a grid search at the bottom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Yu led Zhao Xiangqian towards the bottom of the cliff to explore.
Both Si Yu and Zhao Xiangqian were trained individuals; it had taken Yuan Yu more than three hours to stumble down to the bottom, but Si Yu and Zhao Xiangqian took only half an hour.
Even though spring had arrived, the night was still cold. Adding to this was the rain from the day before, making the forest paths difficult to navigate. Every step sank into mud, and dew and rainwater from the leaves soaked their short hair.
Si Yu felt a chill all over, colder than the night wind.
Zhao Xiangqian followed Si Yu silently, his eyes hoping they could fit a magnifying glass to clearly see everything in the forest.
Tang Jun, oh Tang Jun, you must be okay, otherwise...
Zhao Xiangqian, carrying food, prayed in his heart. Along the way, he constantly checked their surroundings until they reached the base of the cliff, where Si Yu and the rescuers, including Liao Shao, were.
"Xiao Liao." Si Yu surveyed the surroundings but found no news of Tang Jun.
"Brother Meng, there’s no news at the moment." Liao Shao reported the current situation with a serious expression.
They had been searching for several hours without any information.
Liao Shao’s eyes were heavy. The cliff had an extreme drop, and the chances of surviving a fall from such a height were very slim.
Liao Shao’s eyes were bloodshot; since the accident, he had been on high alert.
He knew Tang Jun too.
"Thank you for your hard work." Si Yu patted Liao Shao’s shoulder and encouraged him, "After a disappearance, the first 72 hours are crucial for rescue. Please hold on a little longer; there will be a generous reward once Tang Jun is found."
"Brother Meng, it’s what we’re supposed to do." Liao Shao and the others said in unison.
"Alright."
Si Yu didn’t say much more. He simply cleared his throat and shouted, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I’ve brought some food; let’s all eat a little, then continue searching."
Zhao Xiangqian sensibly distributed the bread and water they brought with them to everyone. When he noticed Yuan Yu, he was momentarily surprised, then offered her bread and water, saying, "Doctor Yuan, have some food."
Looking at Yuan Yu, Zhao Xiangqian saw that she was covered in water stains, with several scratches and a dirt-smeared, once-fair face, appearing quite disheveled.
"No, I want to find Tang Jun." Yuan Yu shook her head, bent over, and searched every possible place, never missing a spot.
When Zhao Xiangqian saw Yuan Yu’s hands covered in wounds, even he, a grown man, felt a pang of pity.
"Doctor Yuan, health is the cornerstone of any endeavor. I know you’re anxious to find Xiao Jun, but if you collapse, how will you search for him?"
Zhao Xiangqian earnestly tried to persuade her, touched by Yuan Yu’s deep affection.
"Go away, I have to find him. I believe he’ll be alright."
"I believe he’s still waiting for us to rescue him."
Yuan Yu disregarded all else in her search, pushing away the offered food. She continued to look down at the ground, searching.
No way, Tang Jun must be alive somewhere, waiting for her to save him.
In novels and dramas, people don’t die from falling off cliffs, do they?
Why isn’t there a pond at the bottom of the cliff?
Yuan Yu searched while questioning in her mind, but why was she starting to lose clarity?
Yuan Yu wiped her eyes with her hand, making things even blurrier.
"Brother Meng, please try to persuade Doctor Yuan." Zhao Xiangqian feared Yuan Yu might run into trouble if she continued, so he sought assistance from Si Yu.
Si Yu was currently lost in thought, gazing absentmindedly at the towering cliff, contemplating on where Tang Jun might have fallen.
Hearing Zhao Xiangqian’s words, Si Yu followed his line of sight and saw Yuan Yu frantically searching for Tang Jun. It reminded him of when he went missing—a time when Xiao Yue might have been just as frantic in looking for him.
Si Yu felt slightly moved.
Step by step, Si Yu walked towards Yuan Yu. Her disheveled state and disregard for her injuries reminded him of Tang Yue.
Si Yu took a deep breath, speaking in a voice that was slightly cold yet gently concerned, saying, "Yuan Yu."
"I believe Tang Jun is waiting somewhere for me to save him." Yuan Yu suddenly turned around. Seeing Si Yu, she momentarily forgot her fear of him, looking intently as if searching his eyes for hope.
"Yes." Si Yu affirmed, "We will surely find Xiao Jun, and he will be safe."
Si Yu’s words brought hope to Yuan Yu, prompting her enthusiastic response, "Then let’s hurry to find him. He’s injured, and it’s so cold. If we don’t find him soon, his wounds might get infected."
Yuan Yu was about to continue searching, but Si Yu blocked her path, saying, "We will surely find Xiao Jun, but you haven’t eaten anything tonight. If you don’t eat a little now, you won’t have the energy. If Xiao Jun knew, he’d be distressed."
"I’m fine." Yuan Yu had just replied when she felt a wave of weakness, stumbling slightly.
Si Yu handed her some bread and water, saying, "For Xiao Jun, have a little."
Aside from comforting Mo Xiaolin and Tang Yue, as well as coaxing Chenchen, Si Yu had never said so much to any other woman. But Yuan Yu was the girl Tang Jun liked, and the girl Xiao Yue adored. If Xiao Yue knew he hadn’t protected Yuan Yu, allowing her to get injured and faint from hunger while searching for Tang Jun, Xiao Yue would be upset.
"I can’t eat."
Yuan Yu thought about where Tang Jun might be, hanging on for dear life, leaving her with no appetite.
"Once we find Xiao Jun, won’t you want to personally take care of him?" Si Yu’s voice lingered by her ear.
Yes.
Yuan Yu replied in her heart. Without further thought, she tore open the cake’s package and began to eat in large bites. She couldn’t collapse; if she found Tang Jun, she needed to save him.
Her hands were full of cuts, yet she felt no pain. The cake was fresh—Si Yu had bought all the cakes from a bakery, coupled with water, to be filling.
In just a few bites, Yuan Yu finished the cake, drank the water, and turned back to search for Tang Jun.
Si Yu handed her a pair of gloves.
