Chen Jiajia pulled Zeng Jie and swam towards the direction of the island. 's consciousness had already started to blur. Sensing that someone was approaching, he grabbed onto Chen Jiajia tightly as if she was holding onto the last straw.

After all, he was carrying the weight of a grown man.

Chen Jiajia's physical strength gradually disappeared as sshe swam slower and slower. No, he couldn't be trapped in the sea. Why was he still waiting for her? Chen Jiajia thought as she clenched her teeth and continued forward.

Fortunately, they managed to find a floating wooden board nearby that saved them a lot of energy. With great effort, Chen Jiajia and Zeng Jie finally reached the island.

"Hey, Zeng Jie, wake up." Zeng Jie was already completely unconscious, he patted Zeng Jie's face in an attempt to wake him up.

Chen Jiajia tried to test Zeng Jie's breath and determined that he was only choking on water. She pressed down on Zeng Jie and sure enough, Zeng Jie spat out a few mouthfuls of water and started coughing.

Chen Jiajia heaved a sigh of relief and went forward to ask: "Zeng Jie, how do you feel?"

Zeng Jie could only vaguely see that the person in front of him was Chen Jiajia. He wanted to say something but in the next second, he fainted.

After that, no matter how Chen Jiajia called out to him, there was no response. Chen Jiajia tested his forehead, probably because her upper mouth had become inflamed in the ocean, and now she had a high fever.

Chen Jiajia facepalmed, and couldn't help but let out a sigh. "I must have owed you in my previous life."

She looked around, but didn't see anyone. She was not only worried, but also felt that she had guessed wrongly. Why didn't they go to the island at all?

As all the communication equipment had fallen into the water, Chen Jiajia was unable to check the time and contact the others. She reckoned that after a while, the sun would set, so the most important thing for her now was to find something to eat and treat Zeng Jie's wounds.

Chen Jiajia's luck was not bad. After entering the forest and searching once, she found a cave. Inside the cave, there were some items to keep the fire warm.

She quickly bandaged Zeng Jie up and spent some effort to bring him to the cave. By the time everything was settled, the sky had already darkened.

The situation on the other side wasn't too good either. It had already been two days and he had already searched the entire area, yet he couldn't even find Chen Jiajia's figure.

"Brother, they have already tried to contact the outside world. From today onwards, you have not rested for two days. Do you want to sleep for a while?" Jianng Cheng arranged the affairs neatly and carefully asked what happened.

"I don't even know if Jiajia is still alive. How can I be at ease?" What was this called vexation? He rubbed his forehead and said.

"No, I have to enter the mountain." What did it mean to be unable to sit still? Every second was like sitting on pins and needles to the current him.

"No, bro, this is too dangerous. None of us know what's happening in this mountain. What if something happens to you?" Jianng Cheng anxiously stopped them.

"If Jiajia comes to the island, I will definitely think of a way to find me. I need to check inside." Why can't I give up any possibility now?

Jianng Cheng felt helpless and could only say, "Then I'll go with you."

When Zeng Jie slowly woke up, the only sounds around him were the dripping sound of water and crackling flames. He looked in the direction of the light source and saw that Chen Jiajia was sitting next to a bonfire, dozing off.

Zeng Jie tried to move but felt pain all over his body. Chen Jiajia did not dare to sleep in the first place, so when she heard Zeng Jie's noise, he woke up.

"Great, you're finally awake." Chen Jiajia heaved a sigh of relief, if Zeng Jie still did not wake up, she did not know what to do.

Zeng Jie did not speak. He looked at Chen Jiajia with a complicated expression as countless thoughts ran through his mind.

Chen Jiajia continued: "Lie down for a while longer, I just tested the temperature and the fever is gone, but the wound is still a little troublesome, there is no medicine here and it can't be healed very slowly."

"Why did you save me?" Zeng Jie asked. His voice was a little hoarse because of the fever.

His relationship with Chen Jiajia wasn't really that good, he knew that Chen Jiajia must have spent a lot of effort to drag him to the island. A girl's stamina was already limited, if not for him dragging her, she might have already gone back to the island. But Chen Jiajia still risked her life to save him.

Actually, when Zeng Jie was unconscious, he was conscious for a while. He felt that Chen Jiajia had been busy all this time, not only trying to coldly compress her forehead, but also trying to bandage her own wound.

If one were to describe the reason why Zeng Jie approached Chen Jiajia before, then now, it was because he truly had some strange feelings towards Chen Jiajia.

However, Chen Jiajia looked at Zeng Jie with a strange expression. "If you beg for help in the water, do you think I can just watch you die?"

Zeng Jie suddenly laughed, he was no longer a fake and sinister laugh, instead, he removed his disguise as a pure smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Jiajia was startled to see Zeng Jie like this, and could not help but shiver a little.

Zeng Jie shook his head, and said solemnly: "Nothing, thank you for saving me."

"There's no need to be so polite. I already said that I won't let you die without saving your life. Are you hungry? I picked some fruits, but they should be harmless. If you're hungry, you can eat that." Chen Jiajia said as she took out some fruits.

Zeng Jie silently took the fruit. The two of them stared at the burning fire and did not say anything for a while.

"Which island are we on now? Have you seen anyone else? " Zeng Jie broke the silent atmosphere.

Chen Jiajia shook her head: "No, from the moment we went onto the island, I had looked around and didn't find anyone around, could it be that they didn't go onto the island at all?"

"No. If the ship sank, we had no choice but to go to the island. " Zeng Jie did not hesitate to reject Chen Jiajia's idea. At that time, the situation was very urgent and it was impossible to find any more rescue boats. In order to protect her life, she could only go to the island.

Chen Jiajia thought that this made sense, and said tiredly: "That's right, this island shouldn't be small. They might have come to this island from the other side, waiting for us to go out and take a look tomorrow."

"By the way, did you see who pushed us?" Chen Jiajia asked as she thought about it.

She and Zeng Jie being pushed down seemed more like a deliberate act of a person, but it was her first time participating in such an event, so there shouldn't be any sort of enemies.

Zeng Jie's expression also gradually became more serious: "I didn't see clearly, but if I'm not mistaken, that person should be coming for me."

"Why do you say that?" Chen Jiajia asked.

Zeng Jie quietly stared at the firelight, his voice as cold as if he was speaking from hell: "Because my injuries didn't fall down and scratch, rather, someone deliberately tried to kill me."
