I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 193 - 183: I Must See You Even If It’s Thousands of Miles Away

Chapter 193: Chapter 183: I Must See You Even If It’s Thousands of Miles Away

The journey back to Kangli was even more difficult than on the way there.

Along the way, the aftershocks caused rocks to constantly fall from the mountain top—

some as tall as a person, others the size of a fist.

A single hit from any of these could mean never waking up again.

At night, those sleeping in their cars feared they wouldn’t awake.

Sister Qianli was terrified; every time she saw ruins by the roadside, she couldn’t help but glance deeply, worried there could be wreckage of a car on top.

After a heart-stopping day, the car suddenly shuddered.

"What’s going on? It feels like the car stopped."

"It’s not good, the car is stuck."

"Everyone, get out and help push the car!"

Mu Qianli hurried out of the vehicle.

Along with the earthquake, the weather also became capricious, and the torrential downpour added more difficulty to their rescue efforts.

The heavy rain made it impossible to keep one’s eyes open.

Dressed in a dark green military rain cloak, Mu Qianli joined everyone in pushing the car.

"1, 2, 3," they called, and finally, the car began to move.

However, Mu Qianli stumbled and fell directly into a puddle.

"Sister Qianli, are you okay?"

People nearby quickly helped her up.

"I’m fine, didn’t fall down, let’s get inside quickly,"

Mu Qianli, soaked to the bone, curled up inside the car.

She thought she was okay, but at night, she eventually became feverish and delirious.

She wasn’t the only one; the long travels were exhausting enough, and most of the food delivered was given to the disaster victims. They didn’t eat well or wear warm clothes, and sometimes they even stayed outside the tents, each of them utterly exhausted.

In a daze, she heard someone say they had arrived at Kangli; they had arrived safely.

Mu Qianli got out of the car but hadn’t taken two steps before she felt like she was about to fall over.

At that moment, a large hand suddenly supported her.

Her vision hazy, she looked up into the finely breaking dawn; the recently rained-on Kangli was so clear, and the figure of Pei Jinxi before her appeared as though she walked straight out of a painting.

"Pei Jinxi!"

She called out, feeling the tension of the past several days suddenly relax, and hugging him, she fainted.

In her groggy state, she kept thinking she was dreaming.

Dreaming of being in Kangli, dreaming of running into Pei Jinxi.

When she suddenly woke up, she sat up straight.

But due to her weakness, she saw stars.

"Don’t move, why did you get up?"

Pei Jinxi pressed her shoulders down,

Stunned, she looked at Pei Jinxi before her; he wore the grey clothes of a volunteer, looking at her with displeasure on his face.

"Ah, it is really you; I thought I was dreaming yesterday."

Pei Jinxi looked as he always did, his fair face carrying a hint of the wear and roughness from the past few days’ hardships. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He looked at her angrily and scolded, "Are you okay? What were you thinking, running here? I just got a signal yesterday, called you and your phone was off, called Fang Zongli, and she said you’d gone to Bajing. Do you know how worried I’ve been about you?"

Mu Qianli pouted, "If you can come, why can’t I?"

"Is this the time for comparisons? Even if we’re talking about going to war, it’s enough for one member of a family to come, not for two to come together."

Family...

His words suddenly quenched the anger that was rising within her.

Instead, she felt a laugh coming on.

When had they become a family?

"Because you were unreachable, I wanted to come and see you."
