"What?" Deliberately trying to kill you? " Chen Jiajia was extremely surprised upon hearing Zeng Jie's words.
Zeng Jie nodded his head, and analyzed calmly: "That's right, there should be more people pushing people, I originally wanted to go and help you, but someone else took the opportunity to stab me from behind, and I was pushed down while I was dodging."
"But why did that person push me down?" Chen Jiajia became even more suspicious, if the person doing the deed was targeting Zeng Jie, then pushing himself down would be completely unnecessary.
"Because what?" Zeng Jie looked at Chen Jiajia, and continued unwillingly, "The ones who took action would definitely have a backup plan in order to ensure that they can defeat me. "Even if you can't kill me on the ship and push me down, why would you be so worried?"
After speaking till here, Chen Jiajia had already understood Zeng Jie's intentions. "Then, when you find out that the matter of me falling into the water was related to you, I'll make a move against you." She lowered her voice and followed up with Zeng Jie's words.
"If there's no surprise, I guess my cheap brother is getting restless again." Zeng Jie sneered, a ruthless look flashed past his eyes.
"Isn't he too daring to take action under the watchful eyes of everyone? He didn't think that there would be a chance that he would be exposed." Chen Jiajia sighed. Zeng Jie's little brother was too crazy for property.
"Since he dares to make a move, he must be fully prepared." Zeng Jie taunted, he never thought that the usually timid people would have the guts to do this, he was really set up this time.
Chen Jiajia could not help but sigh, "Let's talk about other things tomorrow. You need to rest now."
"I'll keep watch. Go to sleep for a while." Zeng Jie said after hesitating for a moment.
Chen Jiajia pointed at Zeng Jie's wound and laughed, but her tone was unquestionable: "You're already like this, what are you trying to force me for, I'm not that delicate, I can still hold on through the night."
Zeng Jie looked at the Chen Jiajia who was laughing wantonly, as though she was the only warm thing left in the night, causing his heart to unconsciously jump. Zeng Jie thought that she might really be moved this time.
After a long night of rest, Zeng Jie was pretty much able to move. This was all thanks to him reacting quickly on the boat, otherwise, it would not be as simple as a slight injury.
"I'll go out and find something to eat." Chen Jiajia yawned, stretched and prepared to go out to take a look.
"You should rest here for a while, I'll go look." Zeng Jie stopped her. He didn't sleep the whole night because he could tell that Chen Jiajia was not in a good condition.
Chen Jiajia could not help but laugh: "Eldest Young Master, are you sure you can tell which fruit can be eaten?"
Zeng Jie squinted: "You underestimate me."
Chen Jiajia shrugged her shoulders but could not deny, she did not dare to expect this young master who could not differentiate the different types.
Half an hour later, Zeng Jie stood in the lush green forest and picked a bright red fruit. It looked like some raspberries he usually ate.
"I already told you how hard it is to pick the fruit." Zeng Jie said as he elegantly stuffed the fruit into his mouth. In the next second, his expression changed and he quickly spat out the fruit in his mouth. Chen Jiajia, who was at the side, was already extremely happy.
"How was it, Eldest Young Master?" Chen Jiajia said with a hint of ridicule. Zeng Jie looked at Chen Jiajia who was skillfully picking the fruits, looking a little embarrassed.
"But Young Master Zeng, you really made me look at you in another light. I never would have thought that the famous person in S City is actually a landlubber. " Chen Jiajia couldn't help but laugh even more when she thought of the scene in the ocean.
"I … I was injured and couldn't move." Zeng Jie tried to explain.
"Right, right. You're right." Chen Jiajia held back her laughter, but she still had an expression of disbelief.
"Stop laughing, let's go over there and take a look. What if we find someone else?" Zeng Jie stiffly tried to change the subject.
However, the two of them still headed deeper into the ship. If they were lucky, they might even bump into the people on the boat.
Chen Jiajia thought of something that she did not know, and her heart became extremely anxious.
Zeng Jie could naturally see what Chen Jiajia was worried about. He lowered her head and looked at the absent-minded Chen Jiajia, and could not help but say in a comforting manner, "Don't worry, what do you mean by 'will be fine'."
"Yes." Chen Jiajia was obviously not in high spirits as she replied in a low voice.
The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, yet they still did not seem to have reached the end.
Zeng Jie's expression became more and more serious. Chen Jiajia sensed that something was amiss, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"This island... Something's not right. " Zeng Jie said in a serious tone.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jiajia asked doubtfully.
"This island has clearly been abandoned for a long time, it doesn't look like it was developed." Zeng Jie said as he looked around him.
"Could it be …" This is not the island we said we were going to. " Chen Jiajia was shocked by this conjecture.
"I'm afraid so." Zeng Jie said, "And I just tried to block all the signals on the entire island. That's why we can't contact the outside world. "
Chen Jiajia frowned, the situation was not looking good if this continued.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest first. If we drag things out any longer, I wonder what we'll encounter." Zeng Jie said.
Chen Jiajia nodded her head. Today, they weren't as lucky as yesterday. The two of them could only find an empty space and prepare some branches to light up the fire. Fortunately, someone had left a lot of things in the cave that they could use.
"Hey, Young Master Zeng, honestly speaking, you look much better than before." Chen Jiajia's words came from the bottom of her heart.
"You only found out now." Zeng Jie looked at Chen Jiajia with slight disdain.
"Who asked you to act so hypocritically and arrogantly." curled her lips and said. On the contrary, the clumsy yet considerate Zeng Jie of the past two days made her feel that this was the real him.
"So do you want to consider abandoning me for what?" If Chen Jiajia were to look at Zeng Jie now, she would realize that his eyes were no longer filled with the playfulness of before, but instead had a little seriousness.
"No, no, no. Can we not mention this?" Hearing Zeng Jie start to ask this question, Chen Jiajia felt a headache. Zeng Jie smiled and did not speak anymore.
"Go to sleep in the tent today, I'll keep watch." Zeng Jie said as he added a handful of firewood.
Chen Jiajia nodded her head and did not refuse. She had been hungry and tired these past two short days, and she was almost at her limit. They had to find a way to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would be finished.
Just as Chen Jiajia was about to enter the tent, she heard a rustling sound of someone stepping on a tree branch in the distance. She stopped and asked softly, "What's that sound?"
Zeng Jie let out a "hush" as he slowly stood up, alert of his surroundings. No one knew anything about the island. Perhaps there were wild animals or something.
Zeng Jie hid Chen Jiajia behind him. If there was any danger, he would definitely protect her.
