Hai Xiao Min struggled, but Ling Yao did not allow her to resist. He reached his hand to her waist and pinched, causing the water that she refused to swallow to slide down his throat.
Only then did Ling Yao release her, and sat down in front of her.
"Cough cough ~" That drool almost choked, and Hai Xiao Min almost coughed out tears.
"What are you doing? Ling Yao, what are you doing?! Hai Xiao Min sat up with red eyes and questioned the man.
Ling Yuan stood up with his bandaged leg on his knee, looking at her with a calm expression. Helpless and even innocent, he asked, "How did you wake up so easily today?"
What did that mean? What do you mean you woke up so easily today?
Could it be that there was still yesterday … Her blank expression froze, as if she had thought of something. For example, in the past few days, she had somehow broken her water collecting tools, as well as the reduced amount of water.
"This isn't the first time?" She stared at Ling Yao in disbelief, as if she was afraid of hearing the answer.
Now that things had progressed to this point, there was no longer any point in hiding it from her. Ling Yao nodded gently, "Okay."
"No wonder …" It was no wonder that such a good tool would be broken when it was used. It was no wonder that when she woke up in the morning, the thirst would subside a little. It turned out that Ling Yao had been doing this for a long time!
"Why?" she asked hoarsely.
Ling Yao was silent. In the darkness, his expression was somewhat blurry.
Hai Xiao Min rushed over excitedly, and grabbed the outside of his arm, forcing him to look her in the face: "Tell me! Why? I want to know the reason! "
Why … The truth was so different from what she had imagined.
It seemed that he had to not tell her, and took off her slim wrist, her cold voice explained weakly: "Hai Xiao Min, that's why I say you're silly, always wanting to share more of the food with me, but you know that your body is far weaker than mine, even if you balance with me, you can't possibly last longer than me."
"So, you secretly gave me more water in this way?" Hai Xiao Min cried.
Ling Yao laughed self-deprecatingly: "You don't need to use such a method. You'll probably think highly of me again."
He didn't want her to accept it guiltily, or not at all.
"And now? Right now, you obviously need more supplies than me! " Hai Xiao Min asked unwillingly.
Ling Yao looked at her and laughed lightly, "Because I might not be able to live much longer."
Why waste food and water on people destined to die?
"An excuse!" They are all excuses! " Hai Xiao Min finally could not take this blow and broke down. She madly slapped Ling Yao's chest to vent.
When he was good, he would talk to her about taking care of the weak and righteous. When he was bad, he would talk to her about the law of the jungle, which dictates the survival of the fittest.
"Hai Xiaomin!" Ling Yuan wanted to stop her.
"Ling Yao, you bastard!" Hai Xiao Min's face was covered in tears as she cried. Her crying was heart-wrenching and moving.
Ling Yao pulled her into his embrace, and Hai Xiao Min gradually lost his strength in his warm and firm chest, only leaving behind the sound of sobbing.
Ling Yu raised his head, his Adam's apple moving up and down, as if he was swallowing his tears back into his stomach. In his mouth, his low and cold voice was indistinguishable, and he disdainfully said: "Alright, crying to the point where I feel like I sacrificed myself for you."
"Explain it clearly first. I don't have a great feeling of sacrificing myself for others. I am only discussing the matter and trying to minimize the harm. It would be best if we could all be saved alive." He hugged Hai Xiao Min and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Who knew I was bitten by a snake …"
Hai Xiao Min's heart ached so much that it felt like it was about to split open. Did he think that just saying that would make her feel better?
Ling Yao patted her shoulder and consoled her in a soft voice: "Don't cry anymore. The water that I fed you has started to cry, aren't the waves a waste?"
If it wasn't for the circumstances and the man's regretful tone, Hai Xiaomin would have simply burst into tears. This fellow was also someone who didn't know how to comfort others …
Just like that, the two of them sat close to each other until the sun rose.
As Ling Yao's wounds worsened, Hai Xiaomin gradually understood why he had taught her how to fish, how to understand herbs, and the various survival skills that she had unintentionally given her during the ten days on the island.
He had planned for the worst from the very beginning!
On the third day after being bitten by the snake, in a harsh environment without any medical conditions, the herbs that he had painstakingly found did not even make a single recovery. Ling Yao's wounds became infected, and he started a low fever!
Perhaps the snake venom didn't want his life. If he couldn't get an effective treatment for the infection, a series of complications would cause his death first!
It was another sunny day. The sea breeze brought a humid and hot air current with it.
It was unknown if they were too unlucky, but ever since they arrived on the island, they did not encounter even a single shower of rain.
"Water ~ Water ~" Ling Yao lay in the shade of the tree as he mumbled in a semi-conscious manner. His face was pale and his lips were dry. He could feel a liquid sliding into his mouth. His adam's apple unconsciously slid down and down his throat.
Even though his sense of taste had become less sensitive, he still tasted the sour and sweet juice, and slowly opened his eyes.
Although her face looked haggard and skinny, her facial features were still attractive. He stuck out his tongue and swallowed the wild fruit meat that she had fed him with no effort at all.
Hai Xiao Min was overjoyed. "You're awake?"
"Yes." The corner of Ling Yao's mouth lifted into a faint arc. His obsidian eyes stared at him with a clear smile, "Do you think I've succeeded in investing here? This is the reward."
He fed her water mouth to mouth, and so quickly she fed him food mouth to mouth.
"If that's the case, then you are too terrifying. A prophet would know that one day you would be in trouble." Hai Xiao Min forced a smile and teased him. Seeing that he wanted to sit up, she quickly went to help him up.
At the same time Ling Yao got up, he grabbed her wrist and stared at the bruise on top of it. With a slight frown, he asked: "How did you get hurt?"
"Er ~ it's nothing, I accidentally touched it when I was climbing trees to pick wild fruits." Hai Xiao Min took back her hand guiltily and didn't tell him that she fell down from the tree. There were still a few bruises under her clothes, so as long as she was careful, she wouldn't be seen by him.
Ling Yao was speechless. His pair of cold eyes, which seemed to be able to see through all the details of the world, looked at Hai Xiao Min with a hint of sharpness.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Hai Xiao Min felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Nothing." Ling Yao lowered his eyes and pursed his lips into a faint smile.
It was good that he hadn't cried. Even if he fell down, he would still be able to pat his butt. He wouldn't easily cry. He was very strong, so he was slightly relieved.
