I die, You die

Chapter 8

"Why are you late? We are waiting too long at here. We thought something happened to the three of you on the way to here," Guo whined for her worry heart to see her lecturer's car was left behind when they already arrived at this resting place for an hour ago.

"Yes, Shen Wei. What's happened? Did something happen to you or them? Chief Chu almost to drive back to find your car," Wang also agreed to Guo's worryingly asked.

Shen Wei quickly shakes her head with an assurance smile when she saw Da Qing tried to tell the truth to them for what's happened to them on the way to here. As Shen Wei heard the truth from Zhao Yunlan, she didn't want to let down all the people who are joining this research. She knows each of them have their own reasons to join this research but not to hurt Shen Wei. Shen Wei respected their reasons for anything except to hurt her.

Shen Wei knows Chu and Wang wanted to protect her and Guo. Bai Yutong and Zhan Yao need money to pay their loans while Sang wanted the payment to renovate his cafe. Da Qing wanted to know the detail about Zhao Yunlan's life back then. Li Qian, Guo and Dajie wanted to experience this adventure journey for their precious lifes. And Shen Wei, she wants to find the truth about the ancient plants and fishes she found before as well as to know the truth about the real death of her adopted parents. And now when she knows her relationship with Zhao Yunlan, she wants to know more than she expected.

"We just stopped to repair the flat tyre. My car unconsciously fell to the side road and caused the tyre flat. So, I changed it with the help of them two," Shen Wei lied and she elbowed to Da Qing to agree with her.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right, guys! Luckily Prof. Shen has a spare tyre. And luckily Yunlan can change that tyre too," Da Qing lied as well but Zhao Yunlan just silents at his stood, didn't say anything.

As they all know Zhao Yunlan as a guy who didn't talk too much, then they just ignored Zhao Yunlan who never agree or deny the words from Prof. Shen and Da Qing.

"Go refill your car fuel first, Wei since we are at the last resting place stop. We will continue the drive after half an hour. You can buy anything needed from that fuel station too," Chu said as he led the way to the Kunlun Mountain now.

Shen Wei just nods understand since she knows it too. She walks away to refill the fuel for her car and then she buys some foods and drinks for them in her car. After half an hour passed by, they continue the drive to the Kunlun Mountain. Zhao Yunlan's heart feels distracted as closer to the Kunlun Mountain made Shen Wei's heart is in a pain as well. Her face becomes paler once again to fight with the pain.

"Sorry, Prof. Shen. The heart protection scale is reacting to my painful heart now. I think this Kunlun Mountain made my heart feel hurt to remember what's happened at there about 10,000 years ago. It's too painful for me to remember it. I can't hold this pain now especially when the night came at here," Zhao Yunlan apologized.

"Prof. Shen, let me drive now and you take a rest. This painful heart will not reduce till we arrived at there. Right, Yunlan?" Da Qing suggested.

Zhao Yunlan nods.

"Alright. I will let you drive now, Da Qing. Zhao Yunlan, please bear with the pain, okay?" Shen Wei agreed and she stopped the car to change the driver.

Immediately, two cars at front and the back stopped as well. And before Chu wanted to come to them, Da Qing continued the drive made Chu drives back his car. Bai Yutong who is driving Sang's car at the back hurriedly follows Shen Wei's car at front. The drive continued till almost four hours and finally they arrived at the camping site at the hill of mountain. Zhao Yunlan looks paler with his painful heart now. Shen Wei feels the same.

"What's happened to them both?" Chu curiously asked to see them two can't move from the car now made Da Qing can't hide their painful now.

"Err... Chief, they are fine. Just they need a rest. Maybe they are having a car sick," Da Qing lied.
