"Don't forget to bring your spoils of war." Ling Yao did not forget to remind his, referring to the fish she caught. The food they had now couldn't be wasted at all.

It was a pity that the sea serpents could not be eaten.

He threw the dead snake out with a look of regret, causing Hai Xiaomin to stare at him strangely for a long time.

After confirming that Ling Shang was able to walk, Hai Xiao Min carried his arm and returned to the beach with difficulty. To the frail her, he was really heavy.

"I wonder if there are any herbs on this island …" Hai Xiao Min was unwilling to resign to fate, and still wanted to strive hard for Ling Yao.

In fact, the best outcome would be that the rescue would come soon. That way, he would be saved. But now, this hope was slim.

"I've seen a few." Ling Yao recalled.

Hai Xiao Min immediately stood up and firmly said, "I'll go get it!"

Ling Yao looked at her with a helpless smile, "You don't know if it will be of any use to me, what's more, do you know anything about medicinal herbs?"

Hai Xiao Min frowned worriedly, "I only know a few that stop bleeding and stop pain, I don't know if there are any on the island."

Ling Yao lowered his eyes, a look of deep thought flashing across his eyes. Finally, he raised his head and said: "How about this, pluck a stalk of the plant you see along the way and I'll teach you."

"Alright!" Hai Xiao Min was a man of fighting spirit and was not afraid of trouble. She took a walk around the island and brought back a bundle of leaves. She was so exhausted that she could not take it anymore.

Looking at Ling Yao's tall figure lying flat on the beach from afar, as quiet as a sleeping beauty, Hai Xiaomin's chest tightened and ached.

She used all her strength to run, charging over to him, throwing aside the leaves, her trembling hand slowly reaching towards his nose.

"Stop probing, you're still breathing." Ling Yao opened his eyes and looked at the trembling Hai Xiao Min. His smile was pale, but it still made Hai Xiao Min feel warm. "Why are you crying again? I'm still alive …"

Hai Xiao Min threw herself into his embrace and sobbed softly.

Ling Yao took the opportunity to embrace her, and looked at the green leaves on top of her head with reddened eyes. Just a little omen like that was already enough to frighten her.

At night, Ling Yao slept with Hai Xiaomin in his arms.

For a long time, Hai Xiaomin didn't dare to fall asleep. From time to time, she would open her sleepy eyes to look at the man lying beside her. Even if she fell asleep, her small hands would tightly hold onto his clothes, afraid that something bad would happen to him.

Ling Yu held her small hand, gently stroking the back of her hand. In the darkness, a pair of pitch black, deep eyes quietly stared at her small face.

Was it him she cared about?

Or was it an existence that could live with her on the island?

Ling Yao knew that even if he woke her up and asked her this question, she wouldn't be able to answer it with certainty. He understood human nature and the human heart, and knew that the more complicated the situation, the more complex the emotions would be.

He lightly stood up and walked step by step towards a place that was not too far away from his current location.

Perhaps it was because his body was not in a good condition today, so she got up with a big movement, or perhaps it was because Hai Xiaomin was in a tight state, not even relaxing when she was asleep. It was no longer like the past nights, where she could fall asleep unconscious as long as she leaned against Ling Yao's arms.

After Ling Yao stood up, Hai Xiao Min was startled awake.

Starlight sprinkled on the coastline, and Ling Yao's figure could be vaguely seen.

Where was he going?

Hai Xiao Min sat up and looked at his back blankly. She wanted to shout, but she realized that he did not wake her up on purpose, so her voice got stuck in her throat.

Ling Yao didn't walk too far and stopped at a certain spot. Then, his slender legs crouched down. His back was facing her, and his hands seemed to be digging something out.

Hai Xiao Min tilted her head and thought it was a bit strange. She wanted to follow him but suddenly thought of something and sat back down.

Isn't that where the water collection tools were buried?

From his actions, Hai Xiaoming could tell that he had poured all the water in several water collecting tools together.

It was strange that they would pour out the water to drink every morning and evening!

Noticing that Ling Yao was about to get up, Hai Xiaomin reflexively went back and watched him walk towards his. She closed her eyes and breathed even more rapidly.

At this moment, she had already guessed something.

It wasn't hard to guess behind her back what she wanted the water for, was it?

The two of them continued to live on each other's island. Water and food were important materials to maintain one's life. One of them was secretly drinking water while carrying the other on his back. This was clearly a betrayal of the naked fruit!

The anger in Hai Xiao Min's heart only existed for a moment because of this knowledge, but it only existed for a moment before it turned into sorrow and forgiveness.

He just wanted to live. Surviving was a power that everyone had from the start. He wasn't wrong … Even at the cost of the lives of others.

Therefore, she chose to remain silent and not expose him.

From the corner of his eyes, a streak of tears silently slid down his face.

The two of them helped each other and came to this day, but now that they had come to this point, the pain in Hai Xiao Min's heart was indescribable.

She patiently listened to his footsteps. The man walked in front of her and then knelt down. His warm fingertip lightly stroked the hair that was attached to her cheek, gradually sliding it to her jade neck and pinching it …

What was he trying to do?!

Stealing water was not enough, so why would he be so greedy as to take care of the burden like she was doing?

She was afraid of opening her eyes and facing the man's dark, cold, and bloodthirsty eyes. Feeling the other party's dangerous aura gradually approaching her face, she quietly touched the bandage that was pressed under her body.

Ever since the first day she had been on the island, Ling Yao's anti-social and terrifying speech had reminded Hai Xiaomin that on the island, in such a harsh environment, all sorts of terrible things would happen. She had carefully hidden her caution in her heart and prayed that there would never be a day where her vigilance would be fulfilled.

Perhaps it was due to the hardships he had endured over the past few days, or perhaps what had happened today that caused Ling Yao to feel an intense sense of crisis, which made him make up his mind to make a move on her!

On his neck, his body temperature was so warm. As he breathed, his unique aura gradually spread out.

All sorts of memories appeared in his mind. Hai Xiaomin's heart suddenly broke down. She slowly loosened her grip on the bandage.

She would choose him to live, and she would die!

In the next second, his hand slightly adjusted to press against her lower jaw, and her lips became covered with a layer of softness.

He was kissing her... Hai Xiao Min's heart skipped a beat before it dimmed again. She was probably saying her final farewell …

He pushed her lips away and cold water flowed through the cracks into her mouth.

Ah!" Hai Xiao Min suddenly opened his eyes, filled with shock.

Feeling the movement of the little girl beneath him, Ling Yao didn't even pay close attention to his as he decisively made a quick reaction. He used both hands to hold her face, desperately pouring water from his mouth into her mouth.
