Chapter 1148 Land of Ice and Snow
He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time. The joy of regaining what he had lost made him feel extremely precious, and also made him realize more deeply how important Jiang Mubai was to him.
"Yunchuan..." Jiang Mubai's voice suddenly became serious, "I seem to have discovered something..."
She pointed to a rock not far away, where some white flowers could be vaguely seen swaying in the wind and snow.
"That...that is..." Cheng Yunchuan widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
"Snow lotus seeds..." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled with a hint of unbelievable surprise, "We...we found snow lotus seeds..."
At this moment, there was a roar of a helicopter in the distance...
The roar of the helicopter was getting closer and closer, and the wind and snow stirred up by the propeller made Cheng Yunchuan unable to open his eyes. He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, fearing that she would be swept away by the wind and snow again.
"Mu Bai, we are saved!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled with excitement. He felt like he had returned to the world from hell.
Jiang Mubai leaned in Cheng Yunchuan's arms and nodded weakly, but her eyes stayed on the snow lotus seeds not far away. Finding the snow lotus seeds meant that her brother Mu Ze was saved. Surviving the disaster, plus the hope that her brother would soon recover, made her feel extremely happy.
The helicopter slowly landed on the snow, the hatch opened, and two staff members in rescue suits walked down.
"We're so glad you're all right!" One of the staff members said excitedly when he saw Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai, "We've been looking for you for two days!"
Cheng Yunchuan helped Jiang Mubai onto the helicopter. The warm cabin made both of them feel comfortable. Jiang Mubai took out a thermos cup, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Cheng Yunchuan: "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Cheng Yunchuan took the cup of water and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mu Bai."
Jiang Mubai smiled slightly and turned to look out the window. The vast snow-capped mountains looked particularly magnificent under the setting sun. She reached out her hand and gently stroked the cold glass, her heart filled with emotion.
Two days ago, she and Cheng Yunchuan came to this snowy mountain to look for snow lotus seeds. In order to save her seriously ill brother, Jiang Mubai spared no effort. Even though she knew that the snowy mountain was full of dangers, she resolutely set foot on this piece of ice and snow.
And Cheng Yunchuan, this gentle and considerate man, has been silently guarding her side, giving her encouragement and support.
"Yunchuan, thank you." Jiang Mubai turned to look at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Silly boy, why are you saying thank you?" Cheng Yunchuan caressed Jiang Mubai's hair. "You risked your life to save your brother. How could I just stand by and watch?"
Jiang Mubai's eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head to hide her emotions. Cheng Yunchuan's affection touched her, but also made her feel a little uneasy.
She knew that Cheng Yunchuan's feelings for her were not just the concern between friends, but more of the love between a man and a woman.
And she has been deliberately avoiding this feeling.
"Mubai," Cheng Yunchuan suddenly held Jiang Mubai's hand, and said seriously, "I like you for a long time."
Jiang Mubai's heart trembled suddenly. She raised her head and looked into Cheng Yunchuan's deep eyes. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Cheng Yunchuan continued, "I know that you can't let go of your brother and your past. But I hope you can give me a chance to take care of you, protect you, and love you."
Jiang Mubai's heart is full of contradictions. She longs to be loved and also longs to have a warm support. However, she is afraid of being hurt again and afraid of disappointing Cheng Yunchuan's deep affection.
"Yunchuan, I..." Jiang Mubai was about to speak when he suddenly felt a severe headache, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
"Mubai! Mubai, what's wrong with you!" Cheng Yunchuan shouted anxiously. He quickly hugged Jiang Mubai in his arms and kept patting her cheek.
"Doctor! Doctor!" he shouted loudly to the staff in the cabin.
At this moment, the helicopter suddenly shook violently, the lights in the cabin flickered, and the alarm sounded through the sky.
"What's going on?!" Cheng Yunchuan asked in horror.
"We're encountering strong turbulence!" the pilot's voice trembled, "The plane might crash!"
Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, his heart filled with despair. Could it be that he and Jiang Mubai were really going to die in this vast snowy mountain?
At this moment, he suddenly felt Jiang Mubai's fingers move slightly...
Jiang Mubai's fingers moved, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon. A glimmer of hope ignited in Cheng Yunchuan's heart, and he slapped Jiang Mubai's cheek even harder, "Mubai, wake up! Wake up!"
Jiang Mubai slowly opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Yunchuan in confusion, "Yunchuan...what's wrong with me?"
"You fainted." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was trembling, "Fortunately you are okay."
"I'm fine..." Jiang Mubai wanted to sit up, but she felt dizzy. She leaned weakly in Cheng Yunchuan's arms, "Where are we?"
"On the helicopter." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low, "We are on our way back."
Jiang Mubai then noticed the flashing lights and shrill alarms in the cabin. She turned her head to look out the window. The strong wind was carrying snowflakes, which were hitting the cabin madly. The plane was shaking violently, as if it would be torn apart at any time.
"Are we...going to crash?" Jiang Mubai's voice was trembling, and she held Cheng Yunchuan's hand tightly, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything, but just hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, using his body to shield her from the strong wind.
"Mubai," Cheng Yunchuan's voice rang in Jiang Mubai's ears, "If we are really going to die, I have something to say to you."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan's determined eyes, his heart filled with fear and anxiety.
"I like you, I love you very much." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was gentle and firm, "Even if we can't be together, I hope you know that you are the only one in my heart forever."
Jiang Mubai's tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Cheng Yunchuan tightly, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with emotion and sadness.
"I love you too, Yunchuan." Jiang Mubai said with a sob, "If we can survive, I will definitely be with you."
At this moment, the plane suddenly lost control and began to fall rapidly.
"Ah!" Jiang Mubai screamed and closed his eyes tightly.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Mubai felt herself falling into a warm embrace. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Cheng Yunchuan's anxious face.
"Mu Bai, you're awake!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was full of surprise, "Are you okay?"
