Hand in hand, they felt each other's warmth.
It was obvious to Gu Xiaoxi, from the look in Quan Shaoqing's eyes, that he was somewhat tired.
It was no surprise that these days, they had all been working tirelessly without sleep.
"How are things outside with the disaster?" Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help asking.
