Chapter 923: Chapter 924: Death is Right Beside
Her name was Xiao Yunguo.
During the earthquake, she was at the kindergarten, and because the rescue measures were timely, she escaped unscathed.

But both her parents were buried under the collapsed building.
Her father had already been found; by the time he was discovered, he had passed away.
And her mother, to this day, was still buried amidst the broken walls and rubble.
Xiao Yunguo was now being cared for by volunteers.
No one knew what her future held.
The child hadn’t cried or made a fuss to this point, nor had she clamored for her mom and dad.
Everyone thought she was too young to have that kind of awareness.
But now, Xia Yangyang saw Xiao Yunguo running recklessly toward the dangerous building amidst the earthquake.
It was then that Xia Yangyang realized—
The child did have this awareness; she simply hadn’t accepted the fact that her parents had died.
She stubbornly believed that her mom and dad were still inside that house.
Xia Yangyang hardly thought twice, instinctually chasing after her.
Although Xiao Yunguo was young, she was incredibly agile.
She climbed among the scattered stones, and in a moment, had entered the dangerous building.
Xia Yangyang followed her in.
“Yunguo, Xiao Yunguo!!!”
Xia Yangyang kept shouting Xiao Yunguo’s name.
But there was no response.
The house was starting to collapse.
Steel and concrete were intermittently raining down from above.
Xia Yangyang felt frantic inside.
But then, Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered that she had seen Xiao Yunguo’s profile.
Before, they lived in the northernmost unit of Building C on the second floor.
Xia Yangyang ran in that direction.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she heard the sound of a child’s crying.
Xia Yangyang saw Xiao Yunguo standing not far away, crying her eyes out.
Due to the earthquake, a massive roof slab had fallen, landing right in front of Xiao Yunguo.
Xiao Yunguo was terrified.
She stood there, almost completely immobilized.
The roof above her had already cracked.
The chandelier was swaying dangerously.
Xia Yangyang rushed over, picked up Xiao Yunguo, and started running outside.
All along the way, countless pieces of gravel fell from the sky.
But Xia Yangyang didn’t care; she ran swiftly towards the exit.
She did her best to shield Xiao Yunguo with her body.
It felt like her body was struck by something.
But Xia Yangyang disregarded the pain and just charged forward.
In the end, she couldn’t make it out.
The staircase was blocked by a fallen slab.
When she turned, a section behind her also collapsed.
There was practically no way to retreat.
The entire building was still shaking.
Xia Yangyang could only find a relatively safe triangular area within the limited space.
Then, she squatted down in the corner of the triangular wall area and tightly protected Xiao Yunguo in her arms.
The building continued to fall apart.
Xia Yangyang truly felt the presence of death close by.
At this moment, there was only one thought in Xia Yangyang’s mind.
She really wanted to see Xia Ye.
Her son, who was now thousands of miles away in the metropolitan city.
I’m sorry, Xia Ye. Mom can’t be there to watch you grow up, to see you get better, to live out my life with you.
When she saw Xiao Yunguo, she thought of Xia Ye.
She knew the danger but couldn’t bring herself to just stand by and watch.
The entire building shook violently.
Countless objects smashed down.
Xia Yangyang just closed her eyes and held Xiao Yunguo tightly in her arms.
She didn’t want to think about anything; everything was left to fate.
Xiao Yunguo stopped crying.
She just held onto Xia Yangyang tightly, burying her face deep in Xia Yangyang’s embrace.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know how much time had passed.
It might have been just a few minutes, or perhaps a few hours.
But to her, it was as if time had stood still.
