Chapter 697: On the Importance of Acting
"Having my brother by my side means happiness. It's not like me living alone on this desert island with no one to talk to."
Ai Ke stretched out his hand and touched Chen Jie's arm, his eyes filled with charm.
Chen Jie's straight masculine character immediately rushed forward, retracted his hand and looked at Ai Ke with a strange look on his face.
"My sister seems to be waking up."
Chen Jie stood up directly and turned to look at Lily Xiao.
Ai Ke looked at Chen Jie's back with a stiff face, and retracted his hand angrily, secretly scolding Chen Jie for being ignorant and offering him up as his wife, even if she didn't want him. It was such a waste.
If it weren't for Chen Jie's handsome appearance and good figure, she would have looked down on Chen Jie.
"Cough cough cough... um..." Lily Xiao felt her throat was salty, coughed a few times, and opened her eyes in pain.
"Sister, how are you?
Why is the corner of your mouth bleeding?"
While Chen Jie was speaking, he directly reached out and felt Xiao Baihe's pulse. After confirming that Xiao Baihe's problem was not serious, he felt relieved.
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie with a puzzled face, why did he call her sister?
Shouldn't he be called captain?
"Sister, don't scare me. Why don't you say anything?"
Chen Jie winked at Xiao Baihe, stretched out his hand on Xiao Baihe's hand, and squeezed it gently.
Before Xiao Baihe could speak, he saw a sweet-looking woman walking up to Chen Jie with a charming look on her face and looking at herself.
Xiao Baihe was suddenly startled. Thinking of the scene before coma, they seemed to have been caught by someone, she raised her eyes and scanned the roof of the shed. Xiao Baihe felt a little unsure.
"What's wrong with my sister?
Are you scared out of your wits?"
The woman looked at Xiao Baihe with disdain, especially when she saw Xiao Baihe's appearance, a trace of jealousy flashed in the woman's eyes.
Xiao Baihe: You are so scared!
"Brother, where is this?
What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie with a weak face, as if she were a little girl who was inexperienced in the world.
"Little girl, you just passed out and came to my tribe."
Aike said with a proud look on her face, she had become the new leader here, and the previous man was just her most proud subordinate.
Xiao Baihe looked at Ai Ke with a puzzled look.
"Sister, let me introduce to you. This girl's name is Ai Ke. Like us, she is a survivor of the plane crash."
When Chen Jie saw Xiao Baihe cooperating with him so well, he nodded with satisfaction, which won his heart.
"I see."
Xiao Baihe nodded and looked at Chen Jie's face, wanting to know the next move.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you some food."
Ai Ke knew that there must be something to say between Chen Jie and Xiao Baihe, so he simply gave them some private space.
"Sorry to trouble you, Aike."
Chen Jie looked at Aike with a grateful face and a harmless smile.
Ai Ke was very satisfied with Chen Jie's performance, nodded, turned and left.
It wasn't until she saw Ai Ke's figure disappearing from the door that Xiao Baihe suddenly stood up. When he raised his head and was about to speak, he saw Chen Jie making a silencing gesture.
Chen Jie pointed outside and signaled Xiao Baihe to cooperate with her.
Xiao Baihe nodded, understanding what Chen Jie meant.
"Brother, where is this place?
I am scared."
Xiao Baihe deliberately spoke with a pinched voice, turning herself into a delicate little girl.
"Don't be afraid. That girl Aike just now is a good person. She saved you. You must thank her properly."
As Chen Jie spoke, he wrote a string of words on Xiao Baihe's palm.
Wait for the opportunity and leave here.
Xiao Baihe looked at the words in her hand and felt at a loss. It seemed that the captain already had a plan, and she just needed to cooperate with him.
"Brother, I think that girl Aike is pretty, beautiful, and has a kind heart. It's better to marry her and be my sister-in-law."
Xiao Baihe deliberately said it loudly, hoping that people outside would hear it.
"Don't talk nonsense. It can easily ruin someone's reputation. Besides, such a beautiful girl may not be able to like me."
Chen Jie said with regret on his face, staring straight at the door.
Xiao Baihe almost laughed out loud when she heard Chen Jie's words. The captain was so good at acting. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have believed Chen Jie's words.
"I think Miss Aike is so good. I really hope she can be my sister-in-law. I felt very close to her from the first moment I saw her. We are destined to become a family."
Lily Xiao covered her mouth tightly, unable to hold back her smile.
Ai Ke, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, heard the conversation between the two people and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised. It seemed that she would get this man soon.
Seeing the dark shadow at the door disappear, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't eat anything she gives you for a while. Try to pretend to be sick. I will find the right time to escape from here."
Chen Jie gave instructions in a low voice. Seeing Lily Xiao suppressing a smile, Chen Jie rolled his eyes helplessly.
How long has it been and you are still laughing here!
"Why don't we escape now?"
Xiao Baihe straightened her expression and stopped her joking attitude.
Chen Jie shook his head. Since he came here, wouldn't it be a big loss if he didn't bring some treasure back?
What's more, Xiao Baihe has suffered such a big crime, and he must get some interest back.
Just when Xiao Baihe was about to ask questions, she heard the sound of footsteps. Xiao Baihe's expression changed and she turned into a little girl who could only cry when something happened.
"Get up and have something to eat. This cow was killed yesterday and is very fresh."
Aike walked in carrying a tray made of bamboo, with roasted beef jerky placed on it, which looked delicious.
"Thank you for your hard work, let me do it."
Chen Jie quickly stood up and went to greet him, reached out to take the tray, and looked at Ai Ke with a smile on his face, looking like a licking dog.
Ai Ke heard the previous conversation between the two, and became much less defensive about Chen Jie. When she saw Chen Jie smirking at her, she thought that Chen Jie had fallen under her charm.
"Sister, how is your health?
Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Ai Ke also made a 180-degree change when facing Xiao Baihe, and looked at Xiao Baihe with enthusiasm.
Xiao Baihe was stunned for a moment and glanced at Chen Jie helplessly. She was not very good at dealing with girls, but now she had to cooperate with Chen Jie. It was really difficult.
"Haha, thank you Aiko, I feel much better."
Xiao Baihe smiled awkwardly, looking at Aike sitting next to her, Xiao Baihe had the urge to run away.
Ai Ke looked at the smile on Xiao Baihe's face, directly stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Baihe's hand, and spoke enthusiastically.
"Sister, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, or if you need anything, you can also tell me. We are all women, and it is not convenient for your brother sometimes."
