"Miss, you lie down on the other end, let me take care." Kay Su Tek said worriedly seeing the girl's badly injured condition here and there, "Your injuries are not light."
After saying so, the girl looked up and laughed strangely as she said, "Then what about you? Your hand is gone and I'm still intact."
Insinuated like that, Kay Su Tek grimaced awkwardly, "Already, let me guard here" Kay Su Tek said unwilling to argue.
The girl's laughter grew louder until Kay Su Tek could see the man's beautiful lips and teeth. "Hahaha, who are you guarding from? The entrance to this crack was already tightly shut by the pile of stones, how could anyone enter before getting rid of those stones?"
The impromptu torch that came from the tear of Kay Su Tek's robe illuminated the girl's face and managed to make this young man slightly blush. Undeniably, her face is indeed beautiful even though only her eyes appear.
Kay Su Tek turned his face away and was no longer interested in responding to the girl. He looked at the pile of rocks in the mouth of the crack that was indeed dense, there was only a slight cavity for air to enter.
Kay Su Tek fumbled over the pile, hoping there was something he could use to escape. But aware of his futile foolish actions, he sighed and sat leaning back resignedly.
"What can we do?" ask the girl as soon as she sees Kay Su Tek already sitting down.
"This is just my possibility and my prejudice. The first is to recuperate while holding hunger for days. Then we gradually smash these stones to escape."
"The second one?"
Kay Su Tek sighed heavily then replied, "Waiting to die."
"Huh!?"

The golden mask, his right hand with Yu Fei looked down, towards the ravine basin that was at the end of the abyss. The former formed a deep basin, now half of which was buried with stones.
"Bo Tsunji, what do you think of all these plans?" asked the golden mask to the figure of rescuer Yu Fei, who was standing on the right.
This person thought for a moment as he continued to look down, "Pretty good, just spread the word."
The golden mask nodded then gazed towards the left, where Yu Fei was. "If you think?"
"It's perfect!" he said confidently and firmly, "No one would have thought that we were the culprit" he continued with sparkling eyes.
The golden mask nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answers of his two aides. Then he turned around and looked at the group of people who were all wearing masks, hundreds in number.
From behind his mask, it shone a sharp eye beam that forced those people to lower their heads. Then there was a heavy, authoritative voice as if bewitching all of them.
"Clean things here. Arrows, campsites, former campfires or anything that signifies there was a human here before." the man insisted, "Then do not forget to destroy the edge of the mouth of this ravine to make more sense if someone comes here."
At once they all bowed respectfully beginning with Bo Tsunji and Yu Fei, then said out loud, "Okay, sir!"
...****************...
They both do meditation, absorb the air around to then be processed into inner energy.
It has been four days Kay Su Tek and Yang Ruan–, the name of the veiled girl, lived underground accompanied by a stone wall that when the day was hot and the night was cold. In those four days, they did not eat or drink.
And those four days were also at the insistence and plea of Kay Su Tek, Yang Ruan did not open his veil unless the man was sleeping. Why so? That was when the first night the two were here, Kay Su Tek said.
"Don't open the veil! I don't want to forget myself!!"
Of course Yang Ruan became embarrassed once, but on the other hand also felt happy because Kay Su Tek indirectly considered her a beautiful girl.
For lighting, they no longer need because it is related to the speech of Kay Su Tek on the first night. They live in the dark, like bats.
It was enough that they tried to destroy the pile of stones, and not even a speck of sunlight. Their hands have been injured a lot because they continue to dig every time, and will stop if they are very tired or faint.
If the two of them looked at each other's forms, they would probably be shocked to death. The robe of Kay Su Tek which was previously wide-sleeved looked wider, and on the waist was seen to be sedentary.
Then Yang Ruan's clothes were slightly tight on the hips and shoulders, this time there were many air cavities on both sides.
The bones on their cheeks also stood out clearly, their eyes like they were about to come out so thin. Really apprehensive.
Kay Su Tek could not see where the girl was, but he could feel Yang Ruan on his left side. So he stopped his punch and looked to the left, breathing heavily.
"Don't be, we'll be out soon." Kay Su Tek said.
Yang Ruan snorted briefly, "It has been since yesterday that you said so, but where did it go? A single beam of sunlight has not been able to get in here" he said sounding annoyed. Then he rubbed the stone in front of him, "You keep digging if you want."
"Then, what about you?" kay Su Tek asked in astonishment and again hit hard, a loud voice resounded in that narrow space.
"I'll take your second possibility" said the girl steadily without hesitation.
Kay Su Tek stopped his movement. This time his eyes bulged wide and there was a stifled cry. "You're crazy!" cut it to the girl.
"Who said I was sane? Heheh...." Yang Ruan chuckled strangely. Then he crawled back, back to where he used to sleep, "Let me die, after all everyone may have thought we were dead."
"Don't be stupid!!" angrily Kay Su Tek approached the place. Although it was pitch dark, but he had memorized the surroundings so it was easy to find Yang Ruan.
"Hehehe..why? What if I die here? What harm does it cost you? Hey Su Tek, ever since we all came here, there's no such thing as friends, we've all been trying to kill each other. If I die..hahah, aren't you lucky?" it seemed that Yang Ruan had gone mad for real, his laughter sounded extremely awkward and Kay Su Tek was not as enchanted as usual.
"What makes me profitable?" kay Su Tek asked quickly after the girl's words stopped.
"Of course, are you stupid or what?" Yang Ruan retorted mockingly, "If there is another quest for inheritance like this, if I die at least your enemy is reduced by one."
Kay Su Tek clenched his hands tightly until his palm bled into his own nails. His eyes bulged and his teeth clashed until it made a grumbling sound.
Actually, something was hidden by Kay Su Tek. Or maybe both.
One strange feeling and debate every time they were close together, a natural thing happened especially considering the condition of those who were on the verge of life and death. Men and women, living in cramped rooms, struggle to continue living together. A feeling arose in their hearts.
"I've decided it now.I've noticed it after a few days we've been living together here.." muttered Kay Su Tek, Yang Ruan looked puzzled.
"Why?" ask the girl.
Kay Su Tek did not answer immediately, but over time his face was red. He lowered his head.
"I don't care anymore about that fake heirloom, no longer care about everything. All I want is to get out of here and...."
"Fake heirlooms?" Yang Ruan was a little surprised by that. But he was more curious about the continuation of Kay Su Tek, "And what?" exacting.
Kay Su Tek's hands clenched even tighter, his teeth increasingly clenched. Makes Yang Ruan very curious.
He steadied his resolve and held onto Yang Ruan's shoulders. Then shouted out loud as if it could shake the narrow slit wall.
"And I want to be with you, whenever!!"
Yang Ruan was at a loss for words.
...****************...
A week and three days later, one morning after the forest conditions stopped being noisy by the sound of chicken crowing.
The pile of rocks showed a crack on one side. The longer the bigger. Faintly heard the sound of "duk–duk–duk." which is also increasingly clear as time goes by.
Just a quarter of an hour later, the crack collapsed and the sound of an explosion sounded.
"Boomm!!"
Two human figures jumped out of it. They are men and women, holding hands. With a bright face, the girl took off her veil and kissed the man's right cheek long enough. Then I heard her whisper.
"Thank you...."
