One drop, two drops, three drops … the warm liquid fell into the corner of Miao Siqing's lips. His lips couldn't help but swallow freely.
He reached out to grab the cup of water and took a big gulp. But why did the water have such a strange taste? It must be Xiao Meng Han's urine.
Miao Shiqing shook the cup out of her hand and opened her eyes in the next moment. Just as she was about to berate Xiao Menghan angrily, she was shocked by what she saw. "You?"
In front of Miao Shiqing, Xiao Meng Han's face was pale. The corners of her lips were cracked and undamaged. At this moment, blood was dripping down her arm, and there were clear teeth marks on it.
He only glanced at Miao Shiqing for a moment before lowering his head and wrapping the wound with a piece of cloth stained with dried blood.
"Why, Xiao MengHan?"
"Why what? That is, why didn't I bite your leg while you were unconscious? " Xiao Meng Han flattered Miao Shiqing as she wrapped her arms around him. He panted heavily as he looked in the direction of the island. Then, he fell silent.
Miao Siqing's heart was filled with too many emotions. Guilt, remorse and self-blame. Suddenly, he felt that he was a bastard.
You don't have to blame yourself. I did it voluntarily and for another purpose." Xiao Meng Han spoke in a low voice, every word that she spoke caused an intense pain in his throat. He took a deep breath, and what entered his chest was no longer air, but a sharp knife that scraped through his mouth all the way to his lungs.
"What purpose?"
"I want your grandma, Dr. Miao, to save my child, as well as Xiao Yan."
"Xiao Yan, Mo Xiao Yan, you and her?" Miao Siqing asked in astonishment. Looking at Xiao Menghan, Miao Siqing suddenly felt that the man in front of her was somewhat mysterious.
Xiao Menghan recalled the gentle smile on the corner of his lips as he looked at the distant island with his deep eyes.
"She is my wife. Her child and I are in her womb. Right now, we are going to save her."
"Save her? Where is she, captured by the bad guys? " Miao Siqing was confused. She only remembered that Mo Xiaoxiao was injured, but not that she was pregnant with a child. For some reason, Miao Siqing felt very upset. It was as if the things he loved were someone else's.
Xiao Meng Han closed her eyes and panted heavily. She pointed her trembling finger towards the island and silently told Miao Siqing the answer …
A cool wind, laced with coconut smoke, blew suddenly from the opposite side of them, and the wind made the boat struggle in the water.
Xiao Meng Han's closed eyes suddenly opened. It was here, it was finally here. He staggered towards the engine. Even now, they were able to escape from this strange water and get close to the island. This was their last chance.
Miao Shiqing looked at Xiao Menghan in astonishment. However, he also noticed that something was amiss. He quickly got up and helped Xiao Menghan.
Xiao Menghan was very fast and the boat was even faster. He broke through the waves and headed towards the island. It was completely different from the situation a few days ago. The boat was really close to the island this time.
Miao Siqing lowered his head to the side of the boat and looked at the sea water below. Only then did he realize that the sea water was divided into two colors. It was as if two liquids of different concentrations were fusing together.
"Aren't you afraid of getting seasick?" Xiao Meng Han looked at Miao Shiqing's actions and reminded him. He did not want Miao Shiqing to vomit at such a moment.
He had already confirmed that he was no longer seasick. Ever since he drank Xiao Menghan's blood, he had discovered that his body was no longer that weak, and there was also a sense of comfort coming from his body.
Embarrassed, Miao Shiqing coughed softly. She looked toward the island and asked Xiao Menghan, "Tell me, your woman is on that island. How are we going to save her? Will it be dangerous?"
"Once we get on the island, we'll know." Xiao Menghan also could not say anything, as the only thing he could do was to adapt to the situation.
The closer they got to the island, the slower the boat moved, as if it met some resistance. The engine started to buzz, and then it started to make creaking noises. When they were only 100 meters away from the island, the boat actually moved backwards.
"Quick, jump off the boat." When Xiao Meng Han's hand grabbed Miao Shiqing, she jumped off the boat.
Before Miao Siqing could figure out what was going on, he was already in the water. She flapped his wings twice before gulping down a few mouthfuls of water. "Gulu, I can't swim. Cough, save me."
A large hand lifted Miao Siqing out of the water. Xiao Menghan used one hand to paddle the water while holding Miao Siqing with the other as he swam towards the shore. The small boat behind them was gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea.
His only thought was to grab onto Xiao Meng Han's lifesaving straw. As Xiao Meng Han swam towards the shore, his hands and feet were like octopuses as they clung onto Xiao Meng Han's body.
Xiao Menghan had been tied up by Miao Siqing and was almost dragged down to the bottom of the sea several times. In the end, he had no choice but to lift Miao Siqing out of the water to reduce his fear before he could swim more smoothly.
"Cough, cough. Xiao Meng Han, I hate you." Miao Siqing lay on the beach with her body spread out on his back. He closed his eyes and felt that he was only one word away from death. Her body was in unspeakable pain.
Ever since he was young, all the hardships he had endured added up to less than one percent of what he had suffered in the past few days.
In the air, there was only the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Miao Shiqing waited for a while, but she didn't hear any response from Xiao Menghan.
He opened his eyes and looked. There was only a pile of water at the place where Xiao Meng Han was just lying. Xiao Meng Han had already disappeared.
"Xiao Meng Han." Miao Siqing hurriedly sat up. Before he could say anything, he fell back heavily. The pain in his head was terrible, as if something inside was about to explode.
Footsteps could be heard approaching from afar. Xiao Meng Han placed an open coconut next to Miao Shiqing's lips and helped him up. "Drink it and you'll feel better."
Miao Siqing was also hungry and thirsty at the moment. Not caring about anything else, he just gulped down a few mouthfuls. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Menghan. He pushed the coconut to him and said, "Drink."
"Are you still worried that I've added seasonings inside?" Xiao Menghan flattered Miao Shiqing. He narrowed his charming eyes and placed the coconut into Miao Siqing's hand. He then picked up another coconut that had already been opened and started gulping it down.
It was only when he finished the last drop of coconut juice that Xiao Menghan took a deep breath and lowered his head. Although these few days were not the most thrilling days to him, it was still the most test of his willpower.
Even now, he still held onto Xiao MengHan's heart tightly, feeling like he had no hope of ever being able to stay on the surface of the sea.
After drinking the coconut juice, Miao Shiqing felt more comfortable. He turned around to look at the wild coconut forest a few meters behind him and was momentarily speechless. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned his head to look at the sea.
The surface of the sea was very quiet. There was nothing there. However, Miao Siqing acted as if he had seen a ghost as he called out, "Ship? Our ship?" Where's the boat? How were they going to leave this damn island without a boat?
However, Xiao Meng Han didn't make any fuss about it. He had just discovered that the boat was gone and the strange sea area had made him very calm about everything that happened next.
"If we get some rest, we'll take a walk in the coconut grove and see if anyone's around?"
