Chapter 779 - You Idiot!
He ignored his own injuries and painfully made his way to Wen He.
“Wen He, wake up.”
He patted her face and noticed that she was still breathing, but she was unconscious. That came as a huge relief to him. He carried her on his back again and started walking slowly in some random direction.
Two hours later, Wen He woke up.
“Mm...”
She woke up in a daze and blinked her eyes slowly.
“You’re up?” Huo Chen asked in his characteristic low voice.
“Yeah.”
She massaged her temples and asked, “Where are we?”
Memories from before she blacked out gradually came back to her and made her nervous.
When she smelled the strong scent of blood coming from Huo Chen, she panicked and jumped down from his back.
“What happened to...”
The sight of him stopped her from finishing the sentence.
His once clean and tidy uniform was now in tatters. She could see numerous wounds through the holes in his uniform.
Even his face was covered with scars.
His right leg was in particularly bad shape. Something sharp had pierced through it, leaving a big wound that had not stopped bleeding.
“You...”
Tears spilled out from the corner of her eyes.
Huo Chen was taken aback by her emotional outburst.
Despite all the physical battering he had taken, he remained composed and replied casually, “Don’t cry, I am fine.”
“You call this fine?”
Wen He’s tears continued to flow freely. She felt terrible looking at him and growled, “You fool! You don’t even like me, why do you do so much to protect me? You should have just let me be and take care of yourself!”
She recalled that he had covered her with his body during the explosion and spared her from harm.
After that, when they were rolling down a hill, he had also kept her firmly in his arms and protected her all the way down.
She survived the attack with barely a scratch.
He, however, was covered in bruises and wounds.
When the moment came, he used his body as a shield and protected her completely.
“You idiot! Idiot!”
Wen He sobbed even louder and felt so much heartache and anger in her.
Abruptly, she went to him and pulled him into a hug. Huo Chen stumbled a few steps backward from her sudden action and moved his right leg.
That caused a sharp pain in his broken leg and made his face turned pale!
His leg buckled and he dropped to one knee.
“Huo Chen!”
Wen He was shocked and quickly kneeled down with him. “What’s wrong?”
He stopped her from touching his leg and said calmly, “It’s just a broken leg.”
Just a broken leg?
He had carried her on his back for so long despite his limp. She had been oblivious to it and only made things even worse for him.
At that moment, Wen He hated how useless she was.
She bit down on her lower lip and stopped herself from sobbing. Tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
Why?
Why was he so nice to her?
If only he treated her worse, then she would not feel so distressed.
Huo Chen watched her cry silently and felt his heart beating hard in his chest. It was suffocating to see her this way.
He raised a hand to dry her cheeks.
However, Wen He stood up abruptly and wiped away her tears. Then, she tore a strip from her uniform and started to bandage his wound with the cloth.
“Hang in there, this will hurt a bit.”
She said as she looked down at his broken leg. Her trembling h
