"Okay, go ahead."
"Let's call it hope?"
She hoped that in this life, no matter what kind of adversity she faced, she would always have hope.
"Okay... okay..." Tears blurred An Xiaxia's eyes. She smiled at Wen Qing and closed her eyes.
Her heart clenched and tore violently.
The person you were chatting with not long ago died in front of you. Reality was often cruel.
An Xiaxia turned her face. Zhou Shiqiao, who she thought was a coward, was holding tools and desperately trying to save people. His face was covered in blood and sweat.
As he dug, a big man like him couldn't help but cry, "What the f * ck!"
An Xiaxia's tears dripped onto the baby's face. She touched her face curiously, her big eyes filled with confusion as she saw the world for the first time.

The rescue went on until dawn. An Xiaxia and Zhou Shiqiao were exhausted and settled in a tent to rest.
An Xiaxia couldn't fall asleep, probably because she was too tired. She sat outside the tent in a daze.
Not far away, there was the sound of powerful footsteps. A group of men in camouflage and military boots stood in a row and said in unison, "Hello, Captain!"
There was a special sword symbol on their clothes. An Xiaxia vaguely remembered that it was a symbol of a special force in the country.
A tall and strong man nodded and gave orders in an orderly manner. An Xiaxia listened from afar and found his voice particularly familiar.
"... Captain, there are two reporters in the tent over there. They were the first to release the video..." She heard someone say that. Then, the captain walked towards her.
Under the dim light, she gradually saw the man's face.
He had dark brows and tightly pursed lips. He exuded the aura of an iron-blooded soldier. His steps were strong and vigorous, and he quickly reached her.
When he saw An Xiaxia, he was also stunned. "Xiaxia?"
"Kang Jian..." An Xiaxia murmured his name. Ever since Kang Jian dropped out of school in the second year of high school to join the army, the two of them rarely contacted each other.
She didn't expect him to be the captain of the special forces.
Both of them were excited to meet an old friend in a foreign land. But due to the reality, they calmed down.
"I still have to rush to the rescue …" Kang Jian frowned. "Don't run around. The signal will probably be restored in the wee hours of the morning. Wait for the traffic to clear up and leave immediately!"
He spoke quickly and in a commanding tone. An Xiaxia nodded subconsciously.
Kang Jian reached out and patted her head. Suddenly, the sound of a child crying could be heard from inside the tent. An Xiaxia hurried in. Kang Jian hesitated for a moment before following her.
An Xiaxia had never held a baby before. She tried to comfort the baby clumsily, but the baby kept crying. Kang Jian coughed. "Are you hungry?"
His gaze fell on An Xiaxia's chest.
An Xiaxia blushed. "He's not my baby …" She didn't have any milk to feed him.
Kang Jian choked on his own saliva and coughed a few more times. "Then I'll get someone to get her something to eat. I'll be leaving first."
"Yes."
Not long after, someone delivered milk and bread. An Xiaxia fed the baby some milk and lay down on the bed, exhausted.
Recalling what Kang Jian had said about the signal being restored, she took out her phone. None of the news mentioned the earthquake in Zhu County.
Only one piece of news flooded the screen: Bamboo County Collapsed.
It wasn't an earthquake … Was it a landslide?
An Xiaxia thought in a daze. Suddenly, her phone rang.
She pressed the answer button. Sheng Yize's exasperated voice came through the phone. "Idiot! Idiot! Where are you? "
