In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 145: Sorry for worrying you

"No," Xu Jinzhi shook her head, "we waited until the rescue team came up and told us to evacuate before we left."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t blindly follow the others and leave; she was also responsible for several colleagues. She couldn’t afford that risk, so she didn’t go at that time.

It wasn’t until the rescue team made it up and notified them that they must evacuate, because the rain was still continuing, and there had already been a landslide on the mid-mountain, and right behind the resort was the mountain!

If there were a landslide or mudslide, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Some people, knowing about the landslide on the mid-mountain, were reluctant to leave, fearing they might encounter the same situation.

Xu Jinzhi was also very scared, but her choice to stay at the resort was because it was safe to stay; if it was no longer safe at the resort, why would she stay?

So Xu Jinzhi chose to leave with the rescue team.

Due to the landslide on the mid-mountain, their vehicles couldn’t make it, so they had no choice but to abandon them and walk. Once past that section, vehicles arranged by the rescue team would take them away.

Xu Jinzhi hadn’t expected to encounter Xie Yanchuan.

She wasn’t the first person to see Xie Yanchuan; it was Assistant Chen who noticed him first. But with the distance and the heavy rain, Assistant Chen wasn’t sure and asked her.

Xu Jinzhi, however, was certain at a glance—it was Xie Yanchuan!

Xie Yanchuan exhaled a long breath, and in the end, all his words boiled down to a single phrase, "As long as you’re alright."

Looking at Xie Yanchuan’s appearance at that moment, Xu Jinzhi felt very uneasy inside. She blinked her eyes, trying to contain her emotions, and asked Xie Yanchuan, "How did you get here?"

Xie Yanchuan hid all the difficulties he had faced along the way and the unease in his heart, calmly saying, "I couldn’t rest easy, so I came over."

"I’m sorry for making you worry," Xu Jinzhi lowered her head to look at Xie Yanchuan’s hand.

Xie Yanchuan’s hand was originally caked in mud; before getting in the car, he found a relatively clean pond and washed it, revealing the wounds on his hands after the mud was cleared.

Those injuries were all caused not long ago when Xie Yanchuan had been moving stones and digging mud by hand.

Without Xie Yanchuan saying, Xu Jinzhi also knew that he must have thought she was buried underneath as well.

They had just come down from the mountain when their phones in the car began to incessantly ping with notifications.

Since there was no signal on the mountain, they couldn’t receive any messages; now that they had a signal, all the previously unreceived messages came flooding in.

Xu Jinzhi was the same; she took her phone out of her bag in a rush and hurriedly called Xu Zhen back.

Xu Zhen gave various cautions on the phone, and then asked about Xie Yanchuan—everyone already knew about Xie Yanchuan coming overnight.

By the time the call ended, the coach bus had brought them to a safe place.

The coach bus took them to a secure hotel, but many people were locals; they didn’t want to stay at the hotel, preferring to go back home to look for their family members.

In any case, after much discussion, they each departed separately.

Xu Jinzhi and the others also managed to get back to the hotel they were originally staying at—fortunately, the hotel was on relatively high ground. Although there was some water accumulation outside, the hotel itself didn’t have any standing water for now.

After making arrangements with a few colleagues, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan went back to their room.

Both were in quite a mess by now. The first thing they did upon returning to their room was to take a shower.

"You go first," Xie Yanchuan said.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t refuse and hurriedly went to the bathroom to shower.

Xu Jinzhi quickly emerged from the bathroom, but once she did, she didn’t see Xie Yanchuan anywhere.

"Xie Yanchuan?" Xu Jinzhi called out. The guest room was calm and quiet, with no response to her call. Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but frown.

Where had Xie Yanchuan gone?

Just as Xu Jinzhi was preparing to call Xie Yanchuan, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked with a card. She turned around and saw Xie Yanchuan entering from outside.

"Where did you go?" Xu Jin asked.

Xie Yanchuan came in, hands filled with several bags, "I went to buy some medicine and also bought some clothes to change into. I’ve asked the hotel to dry clean them and have them delivered later."

He hadn’t brought anything with him when he came; he’d come directly and now didn’t even have a set of clothes to change into.

"Then you should hurry up and take a bath," Xu Jinzhi urged.

"Mhm, after you dry your hair, take the medicine, so you don’t catch a cold." He had been in the rain for so long, and he didn’t know if he was going to get sick, but it was best to prevent it just in case.

Xie Yanchuan also headed into the bathroom to shower. When the hot water poured down from above, Xie Yanchuan felt completely exhausted.

He hadn’t rested for at least thirty hours, previously holding on without stopping. Now that he knew that Xu Jinzhi was safe and sound, he couldn’t help but give into his weariness.

Xie Yanchuan let out a long sigh.

Shortly after, Xie Yanchuan came out of the bathroom. He had bought new clothes, but he had given them to the hotel to clean, and they hadn’t been delivered yet, so he was only wrapped in a towel.

Xu Jinzhi had also been frightened for an entire day and night. Now lying in bed, she was already dozing off, only barely opening her eyes when she heard some noise.

Seeing it was Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi struggled to get up from the bed. "I’ve also prepared a cold remedy for you, drink it quickly."

In a short time, Xu Jinzhi had already brought the cup to Xie Yanchuan. He didn’t refuse and drank it all in one go.

Watching him finish, Xu Jinzhi continued, "Dry your hair, then get some sleep."

"Okay," Xie Yanchuan agreed.

Men’s hair is usually short and really doesn’t need to be blown dry, but since he’d been in the rain for so long, it was easy to catch a cold. It was better to dry it for peace of mind.

Xie Yanchuan quickly blew his hair dry and lay down on the bed. Xu Jinzhi then came over to hug him, kissing Xie Yanchuan’s chin. She was so tired her eyes were barely open.

"Sleep," Xie Yanchuan said in a deep voice.

Xu Jinzhi muttered a vague assent and then closed her eyes.

Actually, Xie Yanchuan was very tired, but at that moment, he just couldn’t fall asleep, his mind a messy whirl of thoughts.

But when he snapped back to reality, he couldn’t help hugging Xu Jinzhi even tighter.

As if he wanted to meld her into his body.

Xu Jinzhi had almost fallen asleep, but Xie Yanchuan’s tight grip brought her back to a groggy consciousness.

She lifted her eyes slightly, and then saw Xie Yanchuan looking at her.

"Why aren’t you sleeping? Aren’t you tired?" Xu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yanchuan said, "I’m tired, but I can’t sleep."

As Xu Jinzhi watched Xie Yanchuan staring at her, she vaguely understood why he might be having trouble sleeping.
