Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 293 Persuading Meng Yue

"Who asked you to swear an oath?"

Shen Mengyin looked at Sui Zhichao kneeling on one knee, her face slightly flushed.

"And even if you swear it, I won't believe you!"

She said that, but she was still touched.

"too frightening!"

Shen Mengyin thought of how loving Meng Yue and her boyfriend used to be, but now they had come to this.

She felt a sudden chill run down her spine.

"Meng Yue's boyfriend can dump Meng Yue!"

"I just let you hug me, consider it a token of our revolutionary friendship!"

Shen Mengyin thought for a moment and then said to Sui Zhichao again.

When Sui Zhichao heard Shen Mengyin's words, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

It immediately became like a wilted eggplant—completely droopy!

His shoulders slumped slightly, and his face was filled with disappointment.

At the same time, he also secretly harbored resentment towards Meng Yue's damned ex-boyfriend.

If it weren't for him, Shen Mengyin and I might be immersed in happiness right now.

"Meng Yue~"

Sui Zhichao's voice also became weak and listless, completely lacking the lightness it had just been.

His mind was still on Shen Mengyin's words, and he was filled with frustration.

In the icy and snowy landscape, the cold wind howled like a knife.

The search for Meng Yue is proceeding with difficulty.

Anxiety was written on everyone's face, their eyes fixed on the front, not missing any possible corner.

Meanwhile, summer was following a trail of footprints.

Soon, he saw Meng Yue lying in the snow and ice.

That figure looked particularly lonely and desolate in the vast white snow.

"Meng Yue~"

Summer shouted and rushed over in three steps.

Meng Yue lay quietly in the snow, her eyes slightly closed.

Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks, leaving two shallow tear tracks on the cold snow.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were frozen purple.

It felt as if I had become one with the icy and snowy landscape.

Meanwhile, the other teams tracking Meng Yue found nothing.

"Wrong direction, Meng Yue's feet aren't that big!"

Qin Xuemei frowned as she carefully examined the footprints on the ground.

Then he raised his head and said to Feng Cheng beside him with a serious expression.

"Shall we go take a look over there?"

Feng Cheng raised his hand and pointed in another direction, his eyes asking a question.

Qin Xuemei stood up, carefully examined the terrain and the direction of the footprints in the distance, and then nodded.

"Meng Yue!"

Xia Tian quickly came to Meng Yue's side and first briefly checked Meng Yue's condition.

The phrase "nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart" is perfectly suited to describe Meng Yue at this moment.

"Meng Yue, I'm sorry!"

Xia Tian looked at Meng Yue and softly apologized.

Then he reached out and firmly supported Meng Yue's right shoulder with one hand.

With a little effort, Meng Yue went from lying down to sitting up.

Meng Yue felt the changes in her body, as if she were slowly waking up from a long dream and slowly coming back to her senses.

"Engineer Xia, you..."

Meng Yue's voice was weak, tinged with confusion and bewilderment.

Summer half-squatted down, looking tenderly at Meng Yue's profile, and asked softly.

"Can you still move on your own?"

When Meng Yue heard Xia Tian's question, she nodded subconsciously.

"Let me help you stand up!"

Xia Tian didn't say much, but reached out to help Meng Yue up.

Meng Yue felt a little embarrassed looking at Xia Tian's actions.

Just then, Xia Tian took off his coat and draped it over Meng Yue.

Feeling the lingering summer warmth on her coat, Meng Yue blushed slightly and said...

"Xia, you gave me your clothes, what are you going to do now?"

"Can you still walk?"

Xia Tian did not answer Meng Yue's question, but continued to inquire with concern.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yue was about to nod, but the stiffness in her body made her realize that she probably couldn't move.

She could only shake her head gently, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"Come up!"

Seeing Meng Yue's condition, Xia Tian walked up to her without hesitation and squatted down.

"Engineer Xia, I..."

Looking at Xia Tian's broad back, Meng Yue wanted to refuse, but didn't know what to say.

"Don't hesitate any longer. If you hesitate any longer, we'll both die here."

Seeing that Meng Yue hadn't made a move yet, Xia Tian urged her on.

Hearing Xia Tian's words, Meng Yue's heart tightened, and she slowly climbed onto Xia Tian's back.

The moment Meng Yue lay on Xia Tian's back, she felt a mix of emotions.

If Xia Tian hadn't found her, she might already be frozen stiff in the snow.

Now that she's come to her senses, Meng Yue suddenly doesn't want to die anymore, and a renewed desire for life has rekindled within her.

"Xia Gong!"

Feng Cheng spotted Xia Tian from a great distance.

He shouted excitedly, his voice echoing across the empty snowfield.

Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei walked quickly to Xia Tian and then saw Meng Yue lying on Xia Tian's back.

"Meng Yue~"

When Qin Xuemei saw Meng Yue, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally eased a little. She quickly stepped forward, her eyes full of concern.

"Meng Yue was frozen stiff, so I had no choice but to carry her on my back."

Xia Tian took the initiative to explain, his voice slightly breathless from carrying Meng Yue on his back.

Summer carried Meng Yue on her back, walking back step by step with difficulty.

Back in the dormitory, he gently placed Meng Yue on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Meng Yue, wake up!"

Qin Xuemei looked at Meng Yue, anxiously trying to wake her up.

"Stop shouting, she's fainted!"

Xia Tian glanced at Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei and spoke.

"Meng Yue was already traumatized, and then she ran out without wearing a cotton-padded coat."

Xia Tian frowned slightly, explaining with a worried expression.

"The cold has entered the body, similar to Ji Xiurong's condition last time."

After saying that, Xia Tian assigned the two of them tasks.

"Feng Cheng, go and call the others back!"

"Comrade Xuemei, go and pour a basin of hot water and bring it over."

"Remember to keep the water temperature moderate, not too hot or too cold."

Summer directed the operation methodically, her gaze steady.

"it is good!"

Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei did as instructed.

Feng Cheng turned around and quickly walked out of the dormitory to notify the others who were looking for Meng Yue.

Qin Xuemei hurriedly went to the kitchen to pour hot water.

Summer sat by the kang (a heated brick bed), looking at the unconscious Meng Yue, her heart filled with worry.

He gently tucked the blanket around Meng Yue, hoping to keep her warm.

After a while, Qin Xuemei hurriedly came in carrying a basin of hot water.

"Comrade Xuemei, wipe Mengyue's face!"

Xia Tian found a new towel, handed it to Qin Xuemei, and said.

"it is good!"

Time passed second by second, and Meng Yue's face gradually regained some color, but she remained unconscious.

"Hey~"

Xia Tian glanced at Meng Yue's condition and sighed softly.

He took out the silver needles and had Qin Xuemei finish wiping.

They began rapidly applying acupuncture to Meng Yue, with silver needles piercing her body precisely one by one.

Soon, Meng Yue slowly woke up.

Qin Xuemei stayed by Meng Yue's bedside, her eyes fixed on that bloodless face, not daring to relax for a moment.

Summer sat on a chair nearby.

Although he was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, his brows were furrowed.

He clearly wasn't truly asleep, constantly keeping an eye on what was happening here.

Suddenly, Meng Yue's fingers twitched slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xuemei's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She quickly reached out and nudged Xia Tian, ​​her voice filled with undisguised joy.

"Xia Gong, Meng Yue is awake!"

Summer suddenly woke up from her sleep, walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and looked at Meng Yue with concern in her eyes.

"Comrade Meng, how are you feeling?"

Meng Yue's consciousness was still somewhat hazy. She looked around in a daze, her voice weak.

"Where am I?"

She felt as if she had just had a long and absurd dream, and her head was spinning.

He paused, then murmured with a hint of confusion.

"Am I in heaven?"

"Xia Gong, Xue Mei, what brings you here too?"

Looking at Meng Yue's appearance, Xia Tian felt both heartache and helplessness.

He deliberately put on a serious face and said it half-jokingly.

"You're not in heaven, you're going to hell with us!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yue's already lifeless eyes widened in terror, filled with confusion and fear.

Seeing her reaction, Xia Tian couldn't help but smile and softened his tone.

"Alright, Comrade Xuemei, please take Comrade Xiao Meng back to the dormitory and let him rest and recover properly!"

As he spoke, he carefully examined Meng Yue's condition again.

After confirming that she was just a little weak and nothing serious, he felt relieved and let Qin Xuemei help Meng Yue leave.

After seeing them off, Xia Tian dragged her tired body back to her dormitory and collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Although his physical condition was extraordinary, he was still able to survive in the freezing cold of minus twenty degrees Celsius.

No one could endure staying there for more than an hour dressed in only light clothing.

At that moment, he felt as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart.

The chill seeped into his bones, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the girls' dormitory, Qin Xuemei helped Meng Yue lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Ji Xiurong and Shen Mengyin stood around Meng Yue, their eyes full of concern.

"Meng Yue, don't be too sad!"

Ji Xiurong spoke first, having experienced setbacks in her relationships and having a deep understanding of the situation.

"In life, there will always be times when you meet the wrong person."

Meng Yue sneezed, pulled the blanket tighter around herself, and forced herself to speak.

"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think!"

Even so, when she recalled her boyfriend's breakup letter, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

However, at this moment, she felt more that her suicide attempt was too impulsive and ridiculous.

It's not really worth it to commit suicide for a man who no longer loves you.

Ji Xiurong carefully observed Meng Yue's expression and, seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending to be strong, she felt relieved.

But for some reason, thinking about her past experiences, she couldn't help but laugh at herself with a touch of self-deprecation.

"Meng Yue, you should rest well first, and call us if you need anything!"

Looking at Meng Yue's pale face, Qin Xuemei said with heartache.

After saying that, he winked at Ji Xiurong and Shen Mengyin.

The three of them tiptoed to the small room next door and sat down.

"Hey, do you guys think Meng Yue can get through this?"

Shen Mengyin looked worried and couldn't help but ask.

“Meng Yue and her boyfriend used to be so loving, but now her boyfriend is actually married.”

Ji Xiurong listened and nodded silently, a hint of worry appearing on her face.

"Yes, that's quite a blow."

"Who knows?"

Qin Xuemei sighed softly.

"It all depends on Meng Yue herself. Hopefully, she can get through this soon."

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and onto the kang (a heated brick bed) in the dormitory.

Summer got up feeling refreshed and stretched her somewhat stiff body.

I felt that after a night's rest, my strength had almost fully recovered.

After a quick wash and breakfast, he headed towards the girls' dormitory.

"Comrade Meng, are you feeling better?"

As soon as Xia Tian entered the room, she saw Meng Yue leaning against the headboard, looking much better than yesterday.

"Xia, I feel much better!"

Upon seeing Xia Tian, ​​Meng Yue quickly sat up straight and said gratefully.

"That's good. Get some rest. If you have any questions, tell Comrade Xuemei and she will pass them on to me!"

Seeing Meng Yue's condition, Xia Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I think she recovered even faster than Ji Xiurong did back then.

It's probably just a slight cold; some medicine and some rest will do the trick.

A week later, Meng Yue had fully recovered.

On this sunny day, Meng Yue was carrying several cans of food.

Arriving at the door of Xia Tian's dormitory, I took a deep breath and knocked.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, what can I do for you?"

Summer opened the door, saw Meng Yue, and asked with some confusion.

"Engineer Xia, I came here specifically to thank you!"

Meng Yue held the can of food in both hands and handed it to Xia Tian with a serious expression.

Xia Tian smiled and waved his hand as he declined the canned food Meng Yue handed him.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, you don't need to be so polite with me."

"As for feelings, you are my soldier."

"Logically, even if you were a stranger, I would still lend a helping hand."

"I will save you, both morally and logically!"

There's no need for a special thank you.

As Meng Yue listened to Xia Tian's words, her originally bright eyes instantly turned somewhat dim.

She bit her lip and insisted.

"Mr. Xia, you must accept this canned food!"

"Take the canned food back with you!"

"You've just recovered, and that's exactly when you need to replenish your nutrition."

Xia Tian looked at Meng Yue and spoke.

"No, Engineer Xia, this is a thank-you gift I brought for you."

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Meng Yue immediately refused, her eyes filled with determination.

"If it weren't for you, I might have frozen to death in the snow long ago."

"This canned food is just a small token of my appreciation; it's not worth much money, but you must accept it."

Looking at Meng Yue's stubborn appearance, Xia Tian thought for a while and finally gave in.

"Alright, I'll keep one jar, and you can take the rest back with you."

As he spoke, he took the can from Meng Yue's hand and took one out of it.

Seeing Xia Tian's actions, Meng Yue knew that he had already made concessions, so she didn't say anything more.

But she still felt a little disappointed, always feeling that Xia Tian was too distant from her.

"Mr. Xia, thank you so much. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Meng Yue looked at Xia Tian and said sincerely.

Xia Tian smiled upon hearing this and earnestly gave her further instructions.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few more words to you today."

Meng Yue listened to Xia Tian's words and replied seriously.

"Alright, Engineer Xia, go ahead!"
