"Be careful!" Gu Xijue pulled Xi Haitang, who was stunned by the side, and used his body to protect her, then hugged her and hid in a relatively safe corner.

Suddenly, all the lights in the room were gone, and the house swayed several times, but I was very glad that there was no greater disaster.

Gu Xijue breathed a sigh of relief, but felt the person in his arms trembling constantly.

"Haitang?!" He looked down at the woman who was tightly holding his shirt tightly, his face pale and tears kept flowing.

"Don't let me go! I... am so scared... so scary..." She looked like a drowning person, and he was her only driftwood.

Gu Xijue was slightly stunned. Is this really the woman who just shouted at her and even kicked him in an ankle?!

He reached out his hand stiffly, stroked her trembling back, comforting, "It's okay."

The unexpected disaster slowly calmed down his anger, and the weak and helpless, loving and loving she in his arms touched somewhere in his heart, and his voice softened unconsciously, "With me here, it's okay."

He hugged her, and his broad and calm embrace silently provided her with the power of stability and warmth.

After a long time, her trembling slowly subsided, but her hands still didn't let him go, but she stopped holding it so tightly, and her teeth still trembled slightly, "I'm afraid... I was separated from my family because of an earthquake when I was five years old... I cried in the ruins and called Dad... But... I couldn't find him..." She shivered and could not continue.

He tightened his arms, wanting to comfort the little girl who was crying helplessly in the ruins, but he could do nothing and could only hold on to this little woman who looked strong on the outside but had a huge dark shadow inside.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you...Don't be afraid..." He comforted him over and over again until her sobs gradually stopped.

They are in the darkness, quietly embracing each other.

The chaos gradually calmed down, the ambulance staff kept shuttled, the electricity was restored, and the nightmare disappeared.

Xi Haitang suddenly woke up and immediately broke free from Gu Xijue's embrace.

"It's okay." He let go, losing her body temperature, but felt lost.

She wiped her tears, straightened her back, trying to regain the little dignity left in front of him.

Immediate news came from the radio of the building, "At 9:45, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred in S City, 280 kilometers away from City T. Our city felt a strong tremor. The number of injuries has not been counted yet, but many buildings were damaged. The most serious damage was Yingrui Primary School located on Shanglin Road, Xicheng District, our city..."

Hearing the sound, Gu Xijue's heart trembled, Yunhen...
