Bai Haoxue suddenly awoke, her eyes widened suddenly...Because the scene before her was truly shocking.
Little Beiting was no longer sleeping beside her; he was in Ji Hanyu’s arms, about four to five meters away from her.
"Water... water... water..."
"Thirsty... thirsty... thirsty..."
Little Beiting was already severely dehydrated, and now with a high fever, his usually tender lips were dry and cracked.
Since yesterday afternoon, they had run out of water completely.
They had walked the entire afternoon under the scorching sun, and now after another night, dawn was beginning to break.
After a night of cold wind and using the sky as a cover and the earth as a stove, Little Beiting’s condition worsened, murmuring incoherently for water in his unconscious state.
"Water... water... water..."
"Thirsty... thirsty... thirsty..."
Ji Hanyu cut open his own wrist with a knife, letting blood drip into Little Beiting’s mouth.
Little Beiting didn’t know what he was drinking, he was completely unaware at this moment. But he was very thirsty, so when liquid entered his mouth, he swallowed instinctively.
Bai Haoxue looked at this scene in disbelief and ran over quickly to stop Ji Hanyu’s actions.
"Ji Hanyu, what are you doing?"
Ji Hanyu just said lightly, "He’s thirsty..."
"No, you can’t..." Bai Haoxue looked at Ji Hanyu, "You can’t do this... Ji Hanyu, you can’t do this, you’re Little Beiting’s father. If Little Beiting found out, he wouldn’t forgive himself."
This kind of fatherly love was too heavy and too great.
Ji Hanyu said, "I won’t say, you don’t say, and he won’t know."
Little Beiting was now both thirsty and hungry, along with a high fever that wouldn’t break.
If it weren’t for this, he would surely die.
He couldn’t stand to watch his tough little warrior die in his arms, die in this damned desert.
"But..."
"There’s no ’but’..." Ji Hanyu said, "You know very well, don’t you, that Little Beiting is in a very bad condition right now."
He had seemed lively for a while yesterday, like a dying flashback, which forced Ji Hanyu into panic.
Ji Hanyu’s blood continued to drip into Little Beiting’s mouth.
Bai Haoxue clenched and unclenched her fists, biting her lip tight, tears uncontrollably spilling from her eyes.
Bai Haoxue turned slightly...
Speaking in her heart to Little Beiting.
Darling, you have the best father in the world.
Perhaps you suffered much hardship and difficulty growing up, but heaven compensated you with the best, most wonderful dad.
In the years to come, no matter what you go through, no matter what you become...
But you must remember that your father, his name is Ji Hanyu!
He is the person who loves you the most in this world!
Bai Haoxue cut off a piece of the shirt worn beneath her outfit, wrapping it around Ji Hanyu’s wrist to stop the bleeding.
As Bai Haoxue bandaged him, she said, "Ji Hanyu... just this once, just this once, alright? Don’t do this again, Little Beiting wouldn’t want it."
Ji Hanyu said, "I just looked around, and now, from time to time, we can already see some green grass. Even if we can’t get out for the time being, we should be able to find a water source."
The desert they crossed before was completely barren, or occasionally seeing a few stalks of grass, but they were all dried grass, ready to ignite...
