Nan Zhi could hear her own breathing and the speeding up of her heart in the darkness.
Did Mu Sihan leave her?
No. If he wanted to leave her, he would have left her to die in the sea.
He will come back for me.
…
Mu Sihan felt a stinging pain that raged furiously on his back. He'd left as soon as he could, as he did not want to show his discomfort in front of Nan Zhi.
Sucking in a curse, he stopped and rested for almost five minutes, before standing up again with a pale face.
He took out a waterproof bag from his pockets and took out a lighter from inside. Giving it a light flick, the fire lighted and he held it up as he started to walk into the dark hole.
After walking for a while, he stopped.
Not too far away, he could see the opening to a deeper cavern. It was covered by wild grass and he could only see about one third of it.
