But those blue eyes were frighteningly bright.
She stared at Su Wei as if she were seeing some unbelievable illusion.
" Su Wei?!"
Emily's voice rose an octave, her face filled with astonishment.
How did you get here?
"Aren't all the roads outside blocked off?"
I thought you were trapped in the mountains!
"The road is blocked, but I have this."
Su Wei turned to the side and pointed through the window to the extremely conspicuous snowmobile parked downstairs.
"It can walk on anything except a cliff."
Emily followed his gaze and saw the dilapidated snowmobile parked in the open space.
He was completely stunned, his gaze blank.
It took me a while to come to my senses.
"That's my snowmobile? My God!" Emily exclaimed in disbelief, and even hurriedly jumped towards the window, leaning on her crutches.
"Don't rush, be careful!"
Su Wei had no choice but to rush forward, close the door behind him, and then hurriedly help Emily up.
"My God! How did you fix it? Was it not broken at all? It just suddenly worked on its own?? This is a miracle???"
Emily didn't notice that there was a pair of strong arms supporting her as she leaned out of the window.
She leaned back out of the window, looking surprised as she asked.
She knew the situation of that snowmobile all too well.
The most likely explanation is that it cannot be driven.
Even though they were lucky enough to drive down the mountain, the strange noises from the engine along the way still made them quite apprehensive.
However, the circumstances were special at the time, and we had no choice but to take the risk.
Once they safely returned to Su Wei's cabin, the snowmobile had completed its final mission.
Emily was certain that it could never drive again.
Even if it were possible, it would break down halfway through.
Because it was already a damaged car!
And now, this very snowmobile has actually brought Su Wei back to the town from the wilderness?
In her mind, Su Wei didn't have that kind of repair skill!
Could it be that the engine can be repaired?
This is no ordinary repair skill!
That's why Emily was so shocked.
Beyond shock, there was also fear.
What if Su Wei really did take the risk?
Then she would really regret not calling for help sooner!
"Don't worry, I've fixed it for now."
Su Wei spoke calmly, but the unconscious upward curve of his lips betrayed him.
"I can't do anything about its appearance. The engine has had a part added, but it's not an original part; it's barely usable. So, you'll have to tow it back to the shop for repairs. Oh, and..."
Su Wei began to describe the repair process.
Emily listened, and her tense expression finally relaxed.
She breathed a sigh of relief, watching Su Wei's unusually rambling chatter, as if she had returned to the old days.
At that time, Su Wei possessed a rare air of arrogance.
Even though they've done something remarkable, they always pretend to be calm and then try their best to share it.
This very quality made him seem real to Emily.
Instead of the previous Wilderness Hunter, he became more mature and masculine, heavy and steady.
But you can also feel a sense of distance.
And now, it feels very familiar.
This is the true Su Wei Su Wei.
Emily felt the tension of the past few days disappear.
But soon, she straightened up and carefully examined him.
Chapter 64 Emily's Concern, Departure from the Fish and Game Department
She looked Su Wei up and down several times, and only after confirming that he had all his limbs intact and no wounds on his body did she finally relax completely.
His shoulders, which had been tense, slumped, and the last breath he had been holding on dissipated.
"God bless..."
Emily leaned her weight on her cane and let out a long breath.
"I just called the police station."
"If I still haven't heard from you, I'm prepared to ask them to send a helicopter into the mountains for a search and rescue."
As she spoke, she held up her phone, its screen still lit up.
The number displayed above is the Kodiak Police Department's emergency hotline; all that's left is to press the call button.
This girl is serious.
Su Wei had been slowly recounting his repair stories, but now he stopped, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Regardless of his past or present life, he was used to being alone.
Therefore, when people were worried about him because of his disappearance, it felt both strange and warm to him.
I'm sorry I worried you.
Su Wei's voice softened somewhat.
"The blizzard was so heavy that the cell tower broke; I was only just able to get out."
"Sit down, don't stand in the wind."
Emily awkwardly stepped aside to make way.
Su Wei followed him.
This is a typical studio apartment in a small town.
It's not very big, only about forty square meters.
The furniture was scarce, even rudimentary.
A folding dining table, two chairs, and several unopened cardboard boxes piled in the corner made the room look somewhat messy.
The only place that felt like home was the bed by the window, the blankets were crumpled up in a mess, and the bedside table was piled with books and several empty medicine bottles.
A faint smell of disinfectant lingered in the air, mixed with the fermenting smell of expired bread.
That's really terrible.
Su Wei's gaze swept across the dining table.
On top was a half-empty bag of hard, dry sliced whole wheat bread, and next to it was a bottle of water that was almost empty.
They didn't even have a decent cup; they just blew straight from the bottle.
This is what a wounded soldier has been eating for the past few days.
"You're just going to eat this?"
Su Wei pointed to the things on the table.
Emily awkwardly hid the bread bag behind her back, a faint blush creeping onto her pale face.
"Well... actually, it's not that bad."
She tried to save face.
"Besides, I didn't move around much, so I didn't burn much energy and I'm not very hungry."
Gulu€€€€
A long and loud protest came out of her abdomen, quite unceremoniously.
The air froze for two seconds.
Emily closed her eyes in despair and buried her face in her hands.
