Xia Zhe thought that Qiao Mei was worried that they would not be able to get out. He quickly wiped away her tears and said, “Don’t cry, don’t worry. Our police dogs are very outstanding. They all recognize the smell on me. Rest a.s.sured that they will find us soon.”

Xia Zhe comforted Qiao Mei patiently.

In actual fact, what he just said was all a lie. Although many of his brothers-in-arms were with him when he was in danger, half the building had collapsed over the two of them. It was already a fortunate thing that they were still alive, but to clean up the debris would take a long time.

Xia Zhe was a little dazed as he looked at the person in his arms. He had indeed never seen Qiao Mei looking like this. Even when he saw her previously, it was just a quick glance and he did not pay much attention to Qiao Mei’s appearance at that time.

Xia Zhe’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. He not only thought about the uncertainty of when they would be rescued, but also about Qiao Mei risking her life to save him. If it were only him alone, he could survive for three days without eating or drinking. However, now that there was Qiao Mei, as well as the unborn child in her belly, he felt more anxious than ever.

He looked at Qiao Mei in his arms and found himself falling head over heels for her sweet demeanor.

Qiao Mei was actually a stranger to him.

However, strangers would not risk their own safety to save him, nor would they care about him quietly.

Earlier, Xia Zhe had even suspected that Qiao Mei was someone coming here to seek revenge on him. He regretted having such thoughts and misunderstanding such a good woman.

Recalling the earlier scene of danger, he had clearly tried his best to stay away from Qiao Mei, but the moment the aftershock happened, she still risked her life to save him.

Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei tightly as if she was a valuable treasure.

“You should loosen your grip or you’ll crush the baby.” Qiao Mei gently gave Xia Zhe a push.

“Oh, I hope you feel alright.” Xia Zhe had momentarily forgotten that pregnant women could not be hugged tightly.

“I’m fine. What are you thinking about as you were so engrossed in your thoughts,” Qiao Mei asked as she stared at Xia Zhe.

Xia Zhe could not tell Qiao Mei his exact thoughts and could only say something else.

“Why… why did you come here alone and how did you find your way here,” Xia Zhe asked.

“Oh, you said that you were coming here so I came because I missed you too much,” Qiao Mei said vaguely.

Qiao Mei thought to herself, “Am I supposed to say that I came to look for you because I predicted that you would get into an accident?”

“What about grandpa being left at home?” Xia Zhe asked.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already made all the arrangements for grandfather. I told him that I was going to the capital to look for you and only then did I manage to get everything past him.” Qiao Mei then continued, “Who knew that the moment I arrived and was about to find out where you were, such a thing happened.”

Xia Zhe sighed and patted Qiao Mei’s head dotingly.

“You little girl, how are you so bold to come here alone,” Xia Zhe pretended to say angrily.

Qiao Mei thought for a moment and hugged Xia Zhe tightly as she said sweetly, “Big brother, don’t be angry. I was wrong, I just miss you too much. I promise there won’t be a next time!”

Xia Zhe’s face turned red from Qiao Mei’s words as he recalled that night again. She kept calling out to him that night, calling him big brother with her seductively sweet voice. That voice was unforgettable and he had wanted to hear it again.

“Then why didn’t you identify yourself to me, if not it won’t get dragged out until now,” Xia Zhe asked.

“Hahahaha, I just wanted to test you. Who would have thought that you would really remain faithful throughout and for this, comrade Xia deserves to be praised!” Qiao Mei teased.

Xia Zhe pushed Qiao Mei’s head with his hand and said, “You mischievous girl.”

“And what’s that I heard, if I had known that you don’t like pickled radishes, then I need not make it for you in the future.” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe smugly.

“Don’t you dare! If you dare to do that, I’ll…” Xia Zhe said.

“You will? What will you do? Let me tell you, I think those three brothers of yours treat me very well. You’d better feel a little threatened,” Qiao Mei said proudly.

It did not cross his mind before she mentioned it. Now that she raised the issue, Xia Zhe was a little alarmed. Could it be that Qiao Mei really liked his brothers more than him?
