"...Didn't you also rush forward to save me without hesitation?" He was silent for a moment, looked up at her, and admitted this fact that he actually didn't want to admit in his heart.
Qian Xiaojiu didn't know what to say. She had indeed jumped on him without hesitation yesterday, because the moment she knew the danger, in addition to the reaction of self-preservation, she also had a stronger consciousness: she didn't want him to die.
!And if she didn't pounce, the bullet might go through his head...
That's why she chased him to the yacht later. Even when they were drifting in the sea, although she was afraid, she was still so relieved... because she knew that he was by her side.
The two of them remained silent for a while, until He Lianqing handed the branch in front of her and said, "Take it, I'll get some water."
"I'll be with you..." Qian Xiaojiu said, getting up and looking at Helian Qing with burning eyes.
Helian Qing paused for a moment and looked at her quietly. There were too many words of rejection on his lips, but he finally held back and nodded lightly and said, "Okay, come with me."
Qian Xiaojiu's face flashed with joy, and she immediately stepped forward to follow He Lianqing's footsteps.
His willingness was a big step for him to take.
Her joy is a small step back for her.
At this moment, the two hearts were gradually getting closer again without knowing it. They both knew that what she wanted was to be side by side, and what he wanted was his stability.
But, he began to learn to respect her wishes...
Pushing aside the trees in front of her, Qian Xiaojiu saw a clear stream and a lake so clear that even every stone under the water could be seen clearly.
Qian Xiaojiu knelt down and drank the water. The water was so sweet and completely refreshing. It really relieved her throat and lips, which were so dry that she was about to grin.
He Lianqing was washing his face downstream. Qian Xiaojiu felt envious when he saw his cheerful appearance, so he pointed to the water and asked: "Can I... wash too?"
"No!" He Lianqing rejected it without even hesitating. He shook the water on his head, took the branch that was skewed aside and handed the roasted meat to her: "Just eat it with water.
Let’s go out after we finish eating.”
Qian Xiaojiu pouted unhappily, why could he do it but she couldn't?
Seeing her pouting look, he couldn't help but chuckle and raised his eyebrows before explaining: "The water is too cold, please use hot water to wash it after you go out."
Due to his gentle and patient explanation, she... accepted it.
The two of them sat down on the rocks by the stream. Qian Xiaojiu ate the delicious grilled fish and grilled snake meat. Of course, Helian Qing also sat down to eat together. She couldn't finish it by herself, and he couldn't finish it either.
Need to replenish physical strength.
The amazing thing is that although there are no condiments, it is surprisingly delicious. The more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes, and the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it. However, Qian Xiaojiu is not a foodie in the first place, so she only eats in moderation.
And now she wants to give more to Helian Qing. He didn't know how long he took her to swim last night before he found this island, so he needed to replenish his strength.
He Lianqing was really hungry. After Qian Xiaojiu shook her head, he didn't force her anymore. He quickly ate most of the snake meat and most of the fish into his stomach. After eating the meat, the two of them drank some more.
Er Shui, and then quickly left the jungle where snakes and insects might be infested at any time and returned to the beach.
