Endless Marital Battles - C244 Why was he here?!
Why is he here?!
When they entered the house, Huo Xing gave Qiao Mo some hot water to soak his feet. Her feet were red from the cold and when he held her hands, they were so cold that they couldn’t feel any heat anymore.
It was only after three rounds of hot water that her feet began to warm up a little.
After Huo Xing washed her feet, she asked again, “Can we go out and find Ah Yan? If he waited too long … “He will leave.”
“Qiao Mo, you have to listen to me. It’s already very late, so Xiao Yan must already be asleep. Can we go back tomorrow?”
Qiao Mo subconsciously looked outside. It was completely dark, and probably because she was really tired, she was willing to let it go.
Before going to bed, he tugged on Huo Xing’s arm and said, “You promised … Tomorrow, bring me to see Ah Yan … ”
“Mm, yes. “I promised.”
“You’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
“Mm, I’ll keep my word.”
It wasn’t easy for Qiao Mo to get coaxed into sleep by Huo Xing, but Huo Xing was so tormented that he couldn’t fall asleep. He sat on the side of her bed, and focused his gaze on her. “Heh!”
Qiao Mo was probably tired and did not cause any more trouble after she fell asleep.
Only then did Huo Xing relax.
… ….
When Huo Xing walked out of the hotel, the white figure in the corner had already disappeared.
He had probably really left.
He could not understand Xiao Yan, and did not know what he was scheming in his mind.
He was clearly worried about Qiao Mo, but he would rather see Qiao Mo fall into the snow than appear again.
… ….
On the second day, when Qiao Mo woke up, the dizziness was even more intense. She pressed her forehead, and just as she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Xing sleeping in a rattan chair.
Qiao Mo pursed her lips, her body feeling unwell. Her nose was stuck, and with a suck, Huo Xing, who was sitting on the vine chair woke up.
Qiao Mo asked gently: “Sorry, I woke you up.”
Huo Xing was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her confused appearance. From the looks of it, he couldn’t remember at all that crazy behavior from last night.
Fortunately, she couldn’t remember.
Huo Xing asked, “Do you still have a headache?”
Qiao Mo only remembered that last night when they were drinking at the top of the mountain, and then they laid on the snowy ground. After that… I don’t remember anything.
She felt exhausted, as if she were floating in the sea, exhausted, aching all over.
Huo Xing said, “After lunch today, we’ll go down the mountain. “OK?”
Qiao Mo nodded, she had no objections.
Perhaps, she really did understand that it was impossible for her to stay here and see Xiao Yan, which was why she had finally come to a compromise.
After cleaning up, Qiao Mo casually washed up. In the bathroom mirror, she saw that her eyes were a little red and swollen. Last night, she didn’t remember crying.
After tidying up a bit, he washed his face and went out.
Qiao Mo and Huo Xing walked to the exit of the inn. She looked at the strings of footprints on the snowy ground and was in a daze.
“What’s wrong, Qiao Mo?”
She stood looking at the white snow and pressed her temples. “Did I run out last night? How do I remember? I ran here for a long time. ”
And running. He fell into the snow.
How did she come back after that?
… …. She couldn’t remember.
Huo Xing couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, he had run for a long time. She had run for a total of two times.
However, Huo Xing patted her shoulder. Looking at her vexed expression, he said, “Enough. Stop thinking about it. You’re probably dreaming.”
Qiao Mo frowned, and nodded her head.
… ….
After finishing their meal and returning to their room, Huo Xing and Qiao Mo carried their stuff onto the cable car.
Snow suddenly began to fall on the snowy mountain.
Qiao Mo looked outside, cold winter snow flying in the sky. Actually, it was a sense of grandeur, but right now, her mind was in a mess and she didn’t have the mood to enjoy the scenery.
She pressed her hands against the window of the cable car, her gaze shifting to her fingers.
The ring finger was empty.
Where was her ring?
He suddenly bent over to rummage through his luggage.
Huo Xing saw that she was extremely anxious, so he asked, “What are you looking for? What’s missing? ”
Qiao Mo rummaged through her luggage to find the storage ring, and anxiously replied: “I seem to have lost my storage ring on the mountain!”
“What?” “Then what should we do?”
Qiao Mo did not manage to find anything in her luggage, she anxiously stood up and looked back, but it was impossible to look back now, unless she went back down the mountain and sat on the cable car to look for something.
“No, I have to go back and look for him!”
Qiao Mo was not able to stand properly, and was unable to hold on properly. She almost fell over and was supported by Huo Xing.
“Be careful!”
Qiao Mo was in his embrace, her face buried in his shoulder as she curled up into a ball.
Huo Xing thought she was frightened. He patted her and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Just as he was comforting her, he heard a small cry in his chest.
He pulled away from her and saw that she was crying.
“Qiao Mo…”
Biting her lip, she gave up and said, “Actually, there is no need to go back! There’s no way he and I can be together now! He was already with another woman! I’m still thinking about him! ”
Huo Xing opened his mouth as he felt a bitter taste in his throat. He was unable to say anything that could comfort her.
She supported Qiao Mo and sat him back down, but she was no longer crying, and was staring at the scenery outside the cable car in despair.
Huo Xing saw that her left hand was touching the empty ring finger of her right hand.
It was as if she had never let go of her heart.
… ….
Down the hill to the Innsbruck bus stop to take the bus to Vienna International Airport.
When they arrived at the bus stop, Qiao Mo said, “I’m going to the toilet.”
Huo Xing did not mind it at all. Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Mo was still not back.
He dialed her number and the phone in his duffel bag rang. She didn’t have her cell phone, just her sloping purse.
Sensing that something was wrong, Huo Xing rushed to the ladies’ room. He startled many of the women who were just about to go to the toilet and screamed.
Huo Xing shouted: “Qiao Mo! Qiao Mo! ”
No one responded.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he abruptly ran out.
When he got to the cable car, he asked the staff when the bus had left.
The staff said he had just left.
Ask when the next cable car will be, the clerk said. Two hours later.
The interval was too long.
Huo Xing didn’t know whether to feel sorry for her or to be angry. This silly girl kept saying that she didn’t want it, but in the end, she still had to run up the mountain and look for the ring.
Qiao Mo was still pregnant, and who knows if she would encounter danger while standing alone on the snowy mountain.
Huo Xing stored some large parcels at the passenger station. He only had a few things with him, but after two hours, he didn’t know if Qiao Mo had come down or not. She also didn’t have her phone with her, so it was difficult to contact him.
Two hours later, the staff member suddenly said that the cable car had stopped running.
There was a big avalanche on the mountain.
Huo Xing’s heart skipped a beat.
Avalanche …
Qiao Mo might still be in the cable car …
If the cable car falls.
He didn’t dare think any further.
Huo Xing held onto the staff member’s arm tightly and asked while shaking him, “Is there any way to get up there?!”
Huo Xing hurriedly spoke in Chinese. The staff member frowned and said, “Calming.”
Down! Please
use
english! ”
… ….
Huo Xing sat dejectedly at the foot of the mountain with his hands tightly holding his head. He did not know what would happen to Qiao Mo.
According to the staff, the avalanche was very sudden and could cause casualties. Searchers and rescuers were rushing over.
Huo Xing dialed Xiao Yan’s number.
With bloodshot eyes, he roared ferociously at the other side of the phone, “Qiao Mo ran up the mountain alone to find your wedding rings! There’s an avalanche now! If anything happened to her! I will definitely not let you off! ”
Xiao Yan’s voice was as calm as water, calm and collected, “I will be right over.”
Half an hour later, Xiao Yan arrived.
Xiao Yan wanted to go with them, but the search party was unwilling. Xiao Yan calmly told them in fluent English that he was a professional ski instructor, and would not lose to them. His wife was on the mountain, so he had to go.
Whether the search party agreed or not, he had to go up the hill.
The avalanche continued. Huo Xing could not ski nor climb the mountain.
Xiao Yan said that if he didn’t receive any news of him before nightfall today, and instead asked him to call Zhao Qian, he had a way to rescue him.
Xiao Yan followed the rescue team up the mountain. Right now, there were still many dangers up the mountain, but he had no choice. If, because of his departure, they caused him to lose Qiao Mo in such a way …
Xiao Yan didn’t dare to think further.
Fortunately, aside from a small avalanche on the mountainside, the mountain had basically regained its tranquility.
When they reached a thousand meters above sea level, the search party’s helicopter flew over and pulled them all up to the top of the mountain.
Xiao Yan kept looking out of the window. On the way, the mountain was still relatively calm, and after the first avalanche, there were only a few small, fragmented avalanches left.
It shouldn’t be fatal.
Upon reaching the mountain, Xiao Yan saw many injured people. Amongst those injured people, most of them were the mountain climbers that were just climbing the mountain, but he could not find Qiao Mo’s figure.
His heart hung in his throat as his gaze roved about in the snowy skies. It was as though he would never be able to find his wife again.
Xiao Yan’s slender fingers pressed down on his forehead as he gasped for breath, his nose in a mess.
His head was starting to feel dizzy.
That feeling of discomfort suddenly attacked him again. Half of it was due to the fear coming from the bottom of his heart, and the other half was due to physical reasons.
The vast expanse of snow rapidly rotated around him.
“Little Mo …”
He pressed his throbbing temple. His lips were pale and his face was pale and haggard. He could vaguely see a round figure with its head lowered as it walked towards him.
She wore a lot of clothes and her upper body was like a little bun. He pressed between his brows and narrowed his eyes as he sized up the little girl who was walking over from a short distance away.
When the footsteps drew near, the little girl also lifted her head and walked over in her snowy boots …
Their gazes met, and they stopped in their tracks.
Qiao Mo opened her eyes wide, within her pitch black pupils, the only thing that could be seen was her tall and straight figure.
She stood there in shock as she looked at the tall and straight man with a cold expression, who was wearing a black coat, not far away.
Countless questions instantly exploded in his mind. He didn’t even have the time to digest them.
Why was he here?!
