TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 449: Protecting Each Other With Their Lives

Mu Jingzhe tried to knock everything down. Other than some dust, he could see nothing.

"Is there anyone there? Help!"

Mu Jingzhe tried to shout twice, but his voice was muffled and could not be heard at all. Based on this, Mu Jingzhe concluded that they were buried deep enough, and it was difficult for their voices to be heard outside.

Mu Jingzhe immediately gave up screaming for help to conserve his strength, but his shout woke Ji Buwang up.

"Jing." Jingzhe."

“Ji Buwang, you are awake. How you feeling? Are you in pain?"

“My head hurts a little. I'm doing fine. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

“I'm fine, Ji Buwang. We're stuck.”

"I know." Ji Buwang deeply regretted the visit back then. He shouldn't have taken Jingzhe there. If he hadn't brought it, they wouldn't have had an earthquake. There will be no earthquakes in his hometown.

It was all his fault for being too reluctant to part from Jingzhe and thus taking him there and putting him in danger.

It's too late to regret it now. He could only think of a way to bring her home safely. Ji Buwang calmed down and asked questions about the situation.

Mu Jingzhe told him what he found. “I'm just worried there will be aftershocks. We have to find something stronger to support this place.”

In their place now, they could sit.

Ji Buwang did as he was told. “Alright, let me see it.” As he spoke, something in his hand shone. Mu Jingzhe's eyes twinkled. “Pagene! Why are you holding this? Quick, let's ask for help!”

It doesn't feel good to be in the dark. Upon seeing the light, Mu Jingzhe almost cried happily.

"I grabbed it while running." Ji Buwang's eyes turned dark. “No signal. I can only use it as a tool to illuminate the place.”

The hope in Mu Jingzhe's eyes was extinguished. Exactly right. After an earthquake, electricity and communication are essentially cut off. In modern times it is like that, especially now.

"It's okay. It's good enough that we can use it as a flashlight. It would be better if we have light.” Mu Jingzhe comforted her and realized there was something else in her hands. "You're still holding the fan."

“I probably held it while asleep, so.” Ji Buwang found joy in his misery. “If you get hot, I'll fan you again. ”

“Why do I need you to fan me at a time like this?” Mu Jingzhe frowned. “I want to know what the level of the earthquake was. That's very scary.” He felt that the magnitude of the earthquake would not be low.

“I don't know, but it's okay. As long as I'm here, I'll make sure you're safe. I promised the kids that I would bring you back safely. Not even a single hair on your body will be lost.”

Ji Buwang carefully wiped the dust off Mu Jingzhe's face.

“I've lost some hair on my body. Let's not talk about this. Don't be so stupid that you just try to protect me later. Let's be clear now. Protect yourself first and hug your head as quickly as possible. I can protect myself. Don't just focus on protecting me and exposing your head to danger. ”

"understand." Ji Buwang agreed obediently.

“Alright, then our priority now is to pass this together.”

However, shortly after they started cleaning, they suddenly felt dizzy. Familiar feeling attacked them again—it was an aftershock.

"Jing." Jingzhe." Ji Buwang protected him once again. Mu Jingzhe stepped on the pebble, and this move wiped everything away.

“Why do you only remember to protect me? I told you to protect yourself.” Mu Jingzhe was furious.

“I know, I was wrong. I'll protect myself now.” Ji Buwang obediently protected his head. As Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief, he felt another tremor. A second later, he heard a crack. The cupboard stand is completely broken.

Seeing that the closet was about to collapse on them, Mu Jingzhe quickly reached out to support him. In an instant, Mu Jingzhe's hand cracked as an unprecedented burden pressed down on him.

Mu Jingzhe was almost destroyed. Fortunately, he managed to survive in the end.

"Jinzhe!" yell Ji Buwang.

Mu Jingzhe also heard a muffled groan. “Ji Buwang, what's wrong with you?”

"I'm fine." Ji Buwang's voice sounded. Without the light of the pager, he could not see Ji Buwang, but his voice remained calm. "Jingzhe, are you holding a closet?"

“Mm, the quality of this closet is quite good. I can hold on. We will not die.” Mu Jingzhe tried his best to calm down, but a second later, the pager lit up. Mu Jingzhe's expression, which was tense from exerting too much force, was instantly revealed.

“Don't look at me. I don't look good now.” Mu Jingzhe closed his eyes and tried his best to return to his usual expression.

Ji Buwang felt very upset when he heard that. "No, you're the most handsome now."

How can Jingzhe be ugly? He calmed down and raised his hand next to her. "Jingzhe, release. I'll help you lift it.”

"unneeded. Honestly, you can't lift it. Only I can lift it, so don't waste your energy and save your strength.” Even Mu Jingzhe found it difficult to lift so many weights, so how could he lift them?

“Go find something that can support it. We will be fine after supported.”

Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe and finally gave up, but he did not move for a long time, making Mu Jingzhe turn his head strangely. "What's wrong?"

"Jingzhe, my legs are pinched." Ji Buwang is taller than Mu Jingzhe. His feet were originally under the table, but the table was unable to withstand the weight anymore and had collapsed. Even his legs were pressed.

“I won't be able to pull my feet out for a while. It might affect my speed. I don't know when I'll be able to find support. It's not an option for you to survive like this. I mean, if you can't take it, you can let it go. I'll lie by my side. My shoulders are much wider than yours. I'll prop up the closet so you can let go. ”

He would protect Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe became anxious when he heard that his legs were being pressed. He did not record anything he said after that. “What kind of empty egg do you spray? What broad shoulders? This cupboard can destroy you. If you can't move, don't move. I can hold on. Did you forget that I'm as strong as an ox?”

Mu Jingzhe calmed down and asked, “Can you feel your legs? Are you being pressed too hard? I can't help you with my hands. They are busy now. If possible, you should slowly look around. Once this closet is propped up, I'll free my hands and help you remove the load on your feet.”

Ji Buwang doesn't want to talk about his legs. “My feet are fine. They were just shot. The most important thing now is you. It's not good for you to continue to survive like this, so you have to listen to me.”

“I can't. Ji Buwang, don't underestimate me. I'm not kidding when I say I'm as strong as an ox. I'm doing fine. I can survive.” Even before Mu Jingzhe finished speaking, Ji Buwang could already see him biting his lips under the pager light. It was clear to him that he was tense.

Ji Buwang was about to say something, but Mu Jingzhe said helplessly, “You look at me again. Forgetit. If I am ugly, let it be.. Anyway, you don't have to mess with me ugly. Instead of nagging me so much, why don't you kiss me to give me strength?
