Meow, it's fine if I can't afford to play with her. Hai Xiao Min's neck shrank and he ran away with a limp. I'll just take what I just said as a joke …

The sky had already darkened and there was no light. Nothing could be done until tomorrow.

Hai Xiao Min sat on the beach, fiddling with the splint on her ankle in boredom.

"What's wrong? Want to tear it down? " Ling Yao walked over barefooted and squatted in front of her.

Hai Xiaomin nodded, "The medicine has been soaked in water. It's not very fresh inside the bandage, so I'm afraid of a rash. Let's just remove it."

"Allow me." Seeing how clumsy she was and how he couldn't even untie the bandages for a long time, Ling Yao grabbed her little feet.

This scene softened Hai Xiao Min's heart.

She silently watched the man who carefully removed the splint. Her eyes were filled with a faint mist, making her unable to understand him. In other words, she had never been able to understand him before.

Which side of him was the real him?

"Alright." After removing the bandage and the splint, Ling Yao was about to take them away.

Hai Xiaoming quickly said, "Give me the bandage. It can wrap around your foot during the day."

That was a good idea, otherwise it would be easy for her foot to be injured. Ling Yao gave the thing to her, so he didn't notice the strange look that flashed across Hai Xiaomin's eyes in the darkness.

Deep in the night, on the beach, the two of them lay flat on their backs, separated by an arm.

Maybe she just arrived on this island and couldn't calm herself down, or maybe she just ate a few wild fruits every day. She was so hungry that she couldn't fall asleep, so Hai Xiaomin laid on the beach with her eyes wide open, staring at the starry sky in a daze.

Ling Shang turned his body to face her, placing his pillow on his arm and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Mom, dad." Hai Xiao Min said calmly, her eyes filled with unfathomable emotions.

The news of her disappearance from the ship had probably reached her parents' ears by now, and they must be extremely regretful. They had agreed to let her go to sea, and if something were to happen to them now, the rest of their lives would be filled with grief.

What she was most worried about was that the two elders would become overly sad after receiving the news, and their bodies would be ruined. Right now, she was fine, but she was unable to protect them.

Ling Yao was silent. It was unknown what he had thought of. His obsidian eyes were so deep that they couldn't be seen.

There was no movement from the side. Hai Xiao Min looked at him weirdly: "What about you? Is there anyone in the family waiting for you to return safely? "

Wasn't he worried about them?

"I'm afraid the person who wishes for me to return would also wish that I could disappear from this world forever." Ling Yao slowly said in a low voice.

"How could that be?" Hai Xiao Min didn't understand what was going on. Her beautiful eyes were wide open as they shined in the dark, "Your parents have such an outstanding son. They must be very precious. How could they bear to let you slip up …"

Thinking of the devil's training he had mentioned, her voice paused. He was not some heartless parent, perhaps he could not bear to see his son being abused like this?

Hai Xiao Min suddenly felt some sympathy for Ling Shang. Every family had their own problems, but it was unknown what kind of history he had that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Ling Qian stretched out his hand, gently stroking the hair on her face with his fingertips: "When you know about these things, I will tell you everything."

She asked him without any malice, but it touched upon the darkness deep within him, making his heart feel a little heavy.

Was his life a secret that couldn't be told to others?

Hai Xiao Min tactfully didn't ask anymore. She closed her eyes and said, "Go to sleep."

After a while, she heard a faint sound. Before she could open her eyes, her lower abdomen was pressed down by a sturdy arm.

Hai Xiao Min opened her eyes in shock. She turned her head and nearly bumped into someone's nose!

"Why did you fall asleep?"

Ling Yao calmly replied, "I'm afraid that you're afraid of the dark."

Are you sure you're not afraid of the dark?

The corner of Hai Xiao Min's eyes twitched, "When did I say I was afraid of the dark?"

"Don't all women fear the dark?" His answers were sparse and ordinary.

Hai Xiaoming narrowed her eyes, filled with malice. Was he looking down on her female compatriots all over the world?

Suddenly, she thought of the night he had taken her home. In the darkness of the corridor, he had asked her if she was a woman, and why she wasn't afraid of the dark.

It wasn't that she wasn't afraid, but …

Taking advantage of the moment she was stunned, Ling Yao shifted his body closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Women are all creatures that are afraid of the dark!"

His tone was firm, answering his previous question, piercing Hai Xiaoman's feigned strength while spontaneously providing her with a sense of security and warmth without her consent.

This man was truly …

Hai Xiao Min secretly bit her lower lip. She was moved by Ling Yao's considerate actions.

A moment later, in the darkness, she said through clenched teeth, "Where do you put your hands?"

Ling Yao seemed to have fallen into a half-asleep state. His voice was a little muddled, but his voice was innocent and confident: "Too thin. I can feel it everywhere but here. It's soft and comfortable."

As he spoke, he continued to knead the meat even further.

"Ling Yao!" Hai Xiao Min screamed. [He is a scoundrel, and yet he thinks that he can play around even when he's pretending to be asleep?!]

"Stop arguing! "It's not like I've never touched it before …" The man, on the other hand, felt that she was too noisy. He didn't know if it was when he was at the Star Manor, he had pressed on her injured foot to prevent her from moving around too much.

Hai Xiao Min: "..."

"I can't get angry, I can't go crazy, and I'll get killed by my first daughter before I throw her to the ground." Hai Xiao Min kept breathing deeply as she continued her self-hypnosis … Then he had unknowingly fallen asleep!

The next day, Hai Xiaomin was awakened by the sound of Ling Yao getting up.

"Did I wake you up?" Ling Yao bent over and asked with concern as he placed one of his arms on top of Hai Xiao Min's head. He was still in a dazed state and couldn't even open his eyes.

Hai Xiao Min opened her eyes wide, but she was in better condition than him.

She was sleeping in his arms without any guard!

Hai Xiaomin sat up, making room for her. "You can sleep a little longer. The sun won't be up for long. I'll wake you up then."

"No need, I'm full!" Hai Xiao Min stretched his body comfortably and accidentally caught a glimpse of the man's bloodshot eyes. "Did you not sleep well?"

Ling Yao massaged the space between his brows. "In a completely unfamiliar environment, only you can sleep like a dead pig, right?"

In order to give her peace of mind, he hadn't slept much the entire night. He was always vigilant of his surroundings, so as to avoid any accidents, the two sleeping people might not even be able to open their eyes before they were deeply asleep on this island.

This sense of crisis was not very normal. If he told her, she might even think that it was too exaggerated, but he had long since gotten used to it.

He stood up, ready to go to the beach to wash his face and clear his head.

Hai Xiao Min was speechless and a little embarrassed. She had indeed slept soundly last night and didn't even have a dream.
