Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Torrential Rain

Sun Chan hesitated for a moment, seeing the lightning above the sky, flashing through the lush trees. She hesitated for a few seconds, and then her worry surpassed her fear. She walked over to the hillside, reached out her hand, and said, "Come on, I’ll pull you up."

The old man was soaked all over, his clothes crumpled and sticking to his body. He was covered in mud, looking extremely embarrassed but spirited. He first glanced at Sun Chan warily, snorted, and said, "Don’t bother about me, go back!" After saying this, he quickly walked forward. Despite the heavy rain and poor footing, the old man indeed moved swiftly, truly admirable.

Sun Chan gritted her teeth, slid down the hillside, and ignoring the mud on her body, continued to follow him.

The heavy rain continued to fall, with the two of them chasing after each other. Soon they walked out of the forest and arrived at the entrance of a cave at the foot of a hillside. This place was very remote, with few people ever coming here.

Sun Chan followed him, panting heavily with chest pain from exhaustion, and her body was numb from the rain.

Sun Chan shouted to him, "Chief, what’s happening?"

The old man was visibly stunned to find Sun Chan still behind him. "You’re still here?"

"Old chief, go back. Everyone is looking for you."

The old man was a bit impatient: "I’m fine! Don’t worry about me! I’m catching a thief!" He supported his knees with both hands, panting, suddenly seeing the old man crouching down, walking towards the cave, grabbing a stone from the ground. Sun Chan was curious about what he was doing, when she saw a young guy dash out from the forest in front, carrying a large bag, running out. The old man rushed over, threw the stone at him but missed, then simply threw himself on the guy.

The two began wrestling on the hillside, covered in muddy water, looking as bedraggled as could be.

The guy struggled continuously. Seeing the old man couldn’t subdue him, Sun Chan ran over and helped the old man hold him down.
