An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 69 He just wanted to look at the moon a little longer.

The man's right leg, which had been maintaining a specific posture for a long time, began to ache, while his left leg was slightly better, but not much better.

As time passed, the muscles in my calves began to tighten, as if countless fine needles were constantly pricking me. The tingling and numb sensation gradually spread to my thighs, and every muscle was trying its best to resist this unnatural stiffness.

Slowly...slowly...my lower back started to ache, and to maintain my balance, my body twisted involuntarily. It felt like my spine was being gripped by an invisible hand, and even the slightest twist brought a sharp pain.

My arms gradually became heavy from being suspended for so long, as if they were filled with lead, and my fingers trembled uncontrollably from the constant tension.

Time continued to pass... Huo Qingshan seemed to be sinking into an endless swamp of exhaustion.

The discomfort intensified over time, and my joints felt like they were rusted. Every slight adjustment was accompanied by excruciating pain, and my clothes were already soaked with sweat, yet I dared not relax for a moment.

The tension from intense concentration made my temples throb, and it felt like a swarm of frantic ants were gnawing at every nerve in my head, gradually eroding my clear consciousness...

Huo Qingshan lowered his eyes and looked at the tools in his hand.

He knew all too well that his physical limits were on the verge of collapse.

Simply waiting... also means physical exhaustion and mental confusion, and means that the success rate of defusing the mine yourself is decreasing with every passing second.

Years of frontline combat experience honed his military skills, enabling him to determine, even when physically and mentally exhausted, that this was the last sliver of hope for successfully defusing the mine on his own.

He had no idea how much longer he could hold on.

Huo Qingshan closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes again after an unknown amount of time, or perhaps not long after, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

Lone Wolf Peak is high and densely forested, surrounded by towering vegetation that reaches into the clouds. However, when he looked up...

Miraculously, the crescent moon came into complete view, without any obstruction.

The moon, crescent-shaped and bright, was set against the deep purple sky, like someone's eye.

The moon cried as she asked him, "Huo Qingshan, is it so hard for you to give your heart?"

The moon said to him, "Huo Qingshan, I can help you."

The moon said to him in the end, "Huo Qingshan, I will do my best to create another possibility for you."

The moon is so beautiful tonight. No thin clouds are trying to cover it. It is so bright that the surrounding stars pale in comparison. He wants to look at the moon a little longer.

He just wanted to look at the moon a little longer.

That's it.

……

The off-road vehicle struggled to reach the foot of the mountain, and Meng Youyou and the bomb disposal team quickly got out.

The bomb disposal team members were well-trained. Considering the potential landmine risk at Lone Wolf Peak, they quickly prepared their mine detection tools, formed a rigorous detection formation, and steadily advanced forward.

Seeing this, Meng Youyou anxiously stepped forward and shouted to the soldiers, "Follow me! I've been down the mountain before, I know how to get there without mines. I'll go first, you follow me quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the bomb disposal team members hesitated for a moment and all looked in the direction of Squad Leader Sun.

He received a signal from Squad Leader Sun.

Meng Youyou was the first to run up the mountain, followed closely by the soldiers, as she quickly darted through the grass and rocks.

Skilled and agile.

As she was getting closer to her destination, Meng Youyou became increasingly anxious, quickening her pace. Before she knew it, she tripped over a tree stump hidden in the grass.

His body suddenly lurched forward.

My knee slammed hard against a sharp rock with a cracking sound, followed by a sharp pain. My forehead also hit a protruding tree root.

The soldiers behind him hurriedly tried to help him up.

Despite the excruciating pain, Meng Youyou shouted, "Don't worry about me, just keep walking along this path we've already trod. There won't be any lightning. Go and save him!"

Once everyone had gone far away, Meng Youyou lifted up her trouser leg.

The wound on his knee was gaping open, blood gushing out and forming a nauseating bloodstain. The torn skin was rolled back, revealing glimpses of the white tissue beneath.

Meng Youyou bit her lip, tried to stand up, and walked behind with a limp. With each step, her wound throbbed with pain.

When she arrived at the scene, the bomb disposal team had already begun their mine clearance work around Huo Qingshan in an orderly manner.

She didn't approach, but stopped where she was, hiding behind a thick tree trunk, her right hand resting on it.

Watching from a distance that is neither too close nor too far.

Looking at the man's tall and strong body, which seemed to be on the verge of collapse, his pale face, and his dry lips... Meng Youyou began to regret that she had only thought about helping him take out the tools, but forgot to take out the kettle for him as well.

He stood there without a drop of water or a single movement for such a long time.

After the preliminary measurements and preparations were completed, the rest of the bomb disposal team retreated to a safe distance.

Only Squad Leader Sun remained.

Sun Bin lay on the ground, took out a specially made high-precision mine detector from his toolbox. The needle was thin and sensitive, and he gently inserted it into the ground at Huo Qingshan's feet.

They cautiously probed downwards at an almost snail's pace, sensing the outline and location of the landmines through the slightest touch of their hands.

Everyone present held their breath.

After pinpointing the exact location of the landmine, Sun Bin switched to a specially made precision screwdriver. He gently inserted the screwdriver, applying slight pressure with his wrist, and rotated it with an almost imperceptible motion.

With each slight turn, he could hear his own soft breathing become heavier.

As each screw was unscrewed, the internal structure of the landmine was gradually revealed.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Bin took out a specially made precision mine-clearing pliers and carefully extended the pliers toward the landmine's fuse, his movements as slow as a slow-motion replay in a movie.

The blades of the mine-clearing pliers gently gripped the fuse.

Sun Bin tightened his fingers slightly, and time seemed to freeze. Then, a clear "click" was heard.

Upon hearing the sound, Huo Qingshan immediately looked up in a certain direction not far away.

"Battalion Commander Huo, let go of your leg."

A somewhat relaxed voice came from below.

Huo Qingshan slowly lifted his leg and moved his right foot off the landmine.

Meng Youyou turned her back and slumped against the tree trunk. She could no longer support herself and let her body slide slowly down the trunk like a puddle of mud, her hands hanging limply at her sides.

Every minute and every second that had passed was like a person on a roller coaster suspended upside down in the air. She seemed calm and undisturbed, but it was all an illusion. She had only just landed at this moment.

She only realized the wetness on her face after a while, and by then her entire lower half was soaked.

Why are you crying again?

How fragile she is, Meng Youyou thought to herself.

However, this time she didn't even realize when it started.
