Chapter 1699: Chapter 1698: Finally Out
Axiang, filled with emotion and relief, spoke with tears in her eyes.
Hao Yansen looked at her, unsure how to express his gratitude.
Thousands of words condensed into a single sentence, "If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. I really want to thank you."
Axiang shook her head with a smile, "I have no requests, this is good enough."
After all, she had thought she wouldn’t be able to leave in this lifetime.
If it weren’t for some belief sustaining her, she might have died a long time ago.
But fortunately, all the perseverance was worth it.
Hao Yansen and the others emerged from the underground laboratory, and this was the first time in twenty years that Axiang stepped out.
Her movement was somewhat inconvenient, and she nearly fell when she came out.
Furthermore, to prevent straining her eyes, she wore a blindfold.
When she stumbled, Mou Xiao reached out in time to support her. Although she couldn’t see anyone, Axiang knew it was him. He carried a faint chilly aura, cold yet so captivating.
"Thank you." Axiang smiled faintly.
"You’re welcome! I’ll carry you; it’s hard to walk here." Without giving her a chance to refuse, Mou Xiao easily hoisted her up and strode forward.
Those following behind, including Xing Yan and Hao Yansen, were "..."
All were dumbfounded.
That person, is that Mou Xiao? The aloof Mou Xiao who finds fault with everyone?
Yan Zhufei looked at Xing Yan teasingly, "Your boss is not simple."
Xing Yan: "..."
Don’t ask him; he knows nothing!
Finally out of the underground passage, they inhaled the outside air and felt the beautiful sunshine.
Axiang felt the warmth of the sun and smelled the scents of the sea breeze, soil, and plants...
Along with the crisp sound of birds chirping.
She leaned against Mou Xiao’s back, excitedly and tremulously reaching out, savoring the warm ambiance.
Her hand appeared so pale it was almost translucent under the sunlight.
Mou Xiao gazed at her hand, momentarily lost in thought.
"I’m really out..." Axiang said excitedly, "I finally got out."
A tear dropped onto Mou Xiao’s neck.
Mou Xiao’s heart trembled briefly as a strange, electric-like sensation surged through his body. His icy blood seemed to be boiling.
For the first time, he felt the sensation of hot blood...
And for some reason, he felt his life seemed complete. All along, he had felt emptiness inside, as if something was missing.
But at this moment, he felt fulfilled.
Coming to this island, it felt like something was calling to him, but now that feeling was gone.
He seemed to have found what was calling him.
...
Having found Hao Yansen’s parents, of course, he planned to send them home.
On the plane leaving, he contacted Mo Jun, still struggling to conceal his excitement as he shared the news with her.
Though his voice was low and calm, and he tried hard to suppress his emotions, Mo Jun still discerned his inner feelings.
"That’s truly wonderful. Hao Yansen, I’m especially happy now, so happy for you..." Mo Jun also spoke excitedly, smiling and even tearing up.
"Come back, bring your parents home. Grandpa will definitely be so happy to see you all!"
But Hao Yansen paused momentarily, "I’ll let Aunt Fei send them back; with you there, I’m also at ease."
