33. Chapter XXXIII
Finally stepping on the hard ground again, Guan Ce's knees went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.
He was so tired that he couldn't straighten up, his temples were pounding, his head was buzzing, and sweat was dripping from the tips of his hair. After resting for a while, he looked back with his hands on his knees, not daring to imagine that he had actually come over.
"Gear up, get in the car!" The captain gave the order, and the team members stood up and put the things on their backs on the car that came to pick them up.
Guan Ce sat in the car, hanging his head, the muscles of his legs trembled unconsciously due to overload, and his whole body was soaked with mud and water, and he could no longer see the original appearance of his clothes.
Looking at himself as if he had been fished out of the quagmire, Guan Ce suddenly smiled, at this time yesterday, he was sitting behind his desk, although he had endless work at hand, but he didn't have to get caught in the rain or fight against low temperatures...... Some things are out of his control.
Forget it, life is rare and confused, just casual.
The road just now exhausted Guan Ce's body, and he fell asleep on the back of his seat in the bumpy car.
In the youth hostel, Zhou An fidgeted and guarded the phone, Guan Ce said in the morning that he would contact again, but it was dark, why didn't he see the phone, did he want to call and ask?
After struggling for a long time, Zhou An finally made up his mind that even if he was hated by Guan Ce, he would call back and ask.
The phone was connected, Zhou An wandered around the yard uneasily, and there was a noise of the crowd in the distance, thinking that the supplies sent by the rescue team had arrived.
The phone was connected a second before he was about to hang up, and Zhou An asked urgently: "Guan Ce, have you eaten?" ”
"......" Guan Ce, who was covered in mud and water, and was looking for Zhou An's residence, was stunned for a moment and said, "Not yet." ”
"Ah...... I don't have any, what are you doing now? Zhou An didn't have anything to say, so he wanted to talk to Guan Ce more.
Guan Ce dragged his heavy steps, and finally saw the inn he inquired about, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Can you take a bath in your room?" ”
Zhou An just turned around to the door, and when he heard this, he glanced back at his room: "Yes, there is a public bathhouse in the hotel." ”
"Is there hot water at this time?"
Zhou An felt that Guan Ce's question was getting stranger and stranger, but it was good to be able to chat: "There should be ......"
"Okay, I didn't bring any luggage, so I'll borrow your clothes to change first."
There are three or four steps at the entrance of the hotel, Guan Ce felt that his legs were filled with lead when he climbed the steps, and he finally climbed up, so he was so tired that he didn't have the strength to cross the threshold, so he had to rest on the door panel, and then he saw Zhou An holding the phone looking at him with a stunned face.
Guan Ce raised his hand to wipe his face, and before he could speak, his hands were held tightly.
"Why are you here?" Zhou An's head was blank, he couldn't even control the expression on his face, he only felt that his throat was hot and hard, and his eyes were sore.
"I don't know how I ended up here." Guan Ce smiled.
Zhou An's hands were very warm, and Guan Ce's frozen body finally felt a little warm.
"You came with the rescue team?" Zhou An's voice began to tremble, if he hadn't depicted Guan Ce thousands of times in his mind, he wouldn't have recognized who the muddy person in front of him was.
He looked at Guan Ce, and saw the other party's muddy hair and mud-stained face, but in the end, he couldn't hold it back, and tears fell out.
Zhou An quickly wiped his face with his sleeve: "How dangerous, I heard that mudslides are still happening, are you okay?" ”
Guan Ce saw his expression change back and forth, and he wanted to laugh a little: "If you don't let me take a hot bath again, I will freeze to death." ”
The word "death" poked Zhou An's nerves fiercely, he pulled Guan Ce and said hurriedly: "Yes, go wash quickly, I'll find you clothes." ”
Guan Ce was pulled by him, and Zhou An immediately reached out to stabilize him, and then stared at Guan Ce's pale lips without saying a word.
Zhou An's eyes were very deep, Guan Ce thought that the other party would kiss him, but Zhou An just hugged him tightly, and his warm body was close to Guan Ce's cold body.
"Guan Ce, why are you ......" Zhou An choked up again, "It's very hard!" ”
Zhou An had never seen how dangerous the landslide was, but he learned from the rescue team that if he wanted to cross there, he would have to die.
After taking a deep breath, he seemed to have made a heavy decision, and said word by word, "No matter why you came here, from now on I will not let go, and I will not let go!" ”
Guan Ce originally wanted to laugh at him, but when he thought that he ran here on impulse, he didn't seem to laugh at the other party's position at all.
He reached out and hugged Zhou An back, and sighed: "I'm covered in mud, be careful to get you dirty." ”
Outside the window, I don't know when it will rain again, and the little raindrops hit the glass, making a slight sound, making the surroundings seem quieter.
Zhou An sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the dirty shoes in the corner of the wall in a daze, and on the bedside table were the noodles he asked for from the innkeeper.
On his right hand side is the open door, and when he goes out and turns left, there is the public bathhouse of the hotel, Guan Ce is taking a bath in it at this time, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the rustle of water.
After about ten minutes or more, a faint voice pulled Zhou An back to reality from his thoughts.
"What's wrong?" He walked quickly to the outside of the bathhouse and asked Guan Ce, "I heard you call me just now?" ”
"Do you have slippers?" Guan Ce's voice was muffled, and Zhou An could imagine him wearing his own clothes and standing barefoot in the vapor.
Zhou An went back to the house to look for it, but he didn't find the slippers, hesitated for a moment, and directly lifted the curtain and walked in, just in front of Guan Ce's wet eyes.
He quietly looked at Guan Ce from head to toe, his gaze lingering on the other party's flushed face for a long time.
Guan Ce was a little uncomfortable with him, especially his wet hair and bare feet, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Do you have slippers?" Guan Ce asked again.
Zhou An saw his white feet moving uncomfortably, smiled, stepped forward and bent down to pick him up: "I didn't bring any extra, I'll carry you back." ”
The body suddenly took off, Guan Ce subconsciously grabbed Zhou An to prevent himself from falling, and at the same time widened his glasses, and his face instantly turned red.
Zhou An smiled very innocently: "Wash your feet cleanly, don't step on the ground and get dirty again." ”
Being hugged by a princess for the first time when he was so big, Guan Ce opened his mouth, but he didn't find a word that could express his mood at this time.
Zhou An took advantage of his lack of reaction, and walked out of the bathhouse with someone in his arms.
Fortunately, the temperature difference on the plateau is large, and at night it is so cold that people only want to lay their cubs in the bed, otherwise the other people in the inn will see them like this, and they will make headlines tomorrow.
