Qiao Nian grabbed his wrist, smelled the smell of blood on his body, narrowed his eyes, and bit the candy in his mouth. He said in a deep voice: "Are you injured?"
The man paused slightly and comforted her as if nothing had happened: "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Qiao Nian's memories of before jumping into the sea gradually came back to him, and he remembered that in order to protect himself, he pounced at the last moment and exposed his back.
She immediately lifted the quilt regardless of the obstruction, stood up and pulled the clothes on his body.
“I’m fine.”
Qiao Nian insisted on reading it: "I will believe you after seeing it."
Ye Wangchuan's eyes were red and his beard was unkempt. He was completely without his usual dignified and dignified appearance. When facing a girl, he pulled his collar like a gangster.
He threw back his hands as if to give up resistance, raised his head and exposed his swan-like neck, and chuckled in a mood: "God Qiao will be responsible for me after seeing this, otherwise I will sue you for being a hooligan."
Qiao Nian ignored his talk, unbuttoned his shirt with bare hands, and pulled it to the side, exposing his shoulders and waist.
It was just as she expected.
The man’s body is tight and powerful, with a flat abdomen, but there are large burns hidden behind the perfect mermaid line. Those wounds were simply treated after soaking in sea water, but they still look shocking.
He just carried the serious injury and lay in front of the bed to take care of him for who knows how long. Qiao Nian even couldn't remember how they surfaced from the bottom of the sea.
How did Ye Wangchuan float in the sea with her, and how long did it take to float before he met the fishing boat he mentioned...
Qiao Nian's clenched fingers loosened again, and the expression on his face changed. It was as if he could see how many times their lives were hanging by a thread last night through the hideous wounds on his back.
How many times has this person refused to give up and insisted on taking her with him to fight against the vast ocean?
For the first time, she felt a sore nose and a hot feeling in her eyes... Countless sour bubbles popped up in her heart, making the corners of her eyes red.
She never cried.
But seeing how haggard he was and how he was trying to comfort himself, Qiao Nian couldn't control the soreness in his heart. He struggled to say: "Idiot."
…
Qiao Nian woke up and attracted the attention of the host family. The hostess came in to see her and brought her a set of her own clothes.
Ye Wangchuan went out first and waited for her to change clothes.
Qiao Nian took off her sweaty clothes after sleeping all day and night inside, and put on the clean cloth the hostess brought her. The clothes had the smell of sunlight, and the fresh soapy scent formed a reassuring aroma.
In addition to the shirt, the other party also brought her a pair of trousers. It is also the simple style requested by Qiao Nian, which is neat and convenient.
The man's deep and magnetic voice came from outside.
“Your computer is not broken and does not need to be repaired.”
“But I can’t play the game anymore.”
Ye Wangchuan is talking.
“Well, I checked for you. The computer is not broken, but there is a problem with the signal. There is no network signal.”
“Ah, no wonder. My grandma said she couldn’t use the phone. Well, it must have been the heavy rain yesterday that caused the signal tower on the mountain to break again.”
Qiao Nian's eyelids trembled, and she heard Ye Wangchuan asking again.
“Do you have a signal tower here?”
"Well, there is a signal tower on the mountain. It was built with international assistance in the past, and it was built for us by you people from country Z. But problems often occur later. Every time there is a problem, we can only wait for someone to pass by in the next spring before we can repair it." (End of chapter)
