When Qiao Nian opened her eyes, she saw a man lying on the bedside, his back in a messy sleep. The man looked haggard and had a beard because of guarding her, but his profile was still handsome.
Her temples still felt like they were being pricked by needles, her head was attacked by dizziness, and her whole body had not recovered much strength. She thought that no one would hear such a small noise, and was preparing to gather her strength to hold on.
As soon as she moved her hand, she felt someone holding it.
Qiao Nian hasn't come back to his senses yet.
The next second, the man who was awakened by her tiny movement opened his eyes, looked at her with bloodshot eyes, and immediately confirmed her safety.
The man met Qiao Nian's opened eyes, and he was like a violent beast that was instantly appeased, and his strong defensiveness and murderous intent suddenly subsided.
Qiao Nian's throat was sore, and he blinked his eyes: "I'm thirsty..."
Ye Wangchuan seemed to wake up from a thunder explosion. He pursed his thin lips, stood up with his tall body and turned to get her some water.
Qiao Nian saw that he was staggering, not as calm and composed as before. Because of his anxiety, he bumped into the corners of the table and chairs on the way, making crackling sounds.
Then there was a burst of dense footsteps.
She didn't wait for a few seconds before someone pushed the door open. Qiao Nian only saw a shadow covering her head, and then someone supported her waist and helped her sit up.
The man put a cushion on her, let go of her hand, and handed her a glass of water.
Qiao Nian took it and drank it down in one gulp.
"Do you want more?" The man's deep voice sounded in her ears. He took the cup of water from her and was about to turn around to get her another one.
Qiao Nian reached out and grabbed his sleeve. The pain in her temple did not stop her from looking at the man standing at the head of her bed and calling out his name.
"Ye Wangchuan."
After drinking the water, her hoarse voice could at least be heard, no longer broken syllables. The man who was about to leave saw her clenching him so hard that her knuckles turned white, and immediately gave up on getting water. He turned around, put down the cup, sat down beside her on the bed, and gently stroked her back: "It's okay."
Qiao Nian was pulled into his arms and heard the strong heartbeat in his chest. The burning, painful and dark sea gradually became a thing of the past.
She finally calmed down completely.
I don’t know how long it was, so long that the girl’s curled fingers loosened the clothes she was tightly holding, and Qiao Nian completely woke up from the nightmarish memories of the sea.
She immediately thought of Ye Wangchuan who was attacked by a seabird and fell into the sea to save her, as well as Qin Si, Guan Yan and others. She supported herself and sat up, and a hint of rationality appeared on her pale and beautiful face.
"Why am I here?"
"You jumped into the sea to find me, but you went too deep and passed out. I brought you up and we drifted on the sea for a while. Luckily, we ran into Sam's boat. He was out fishing and chasing dolphins, so he was delayed and drove to the edge of the storm area. He saved us by accident."
Ye Wangchuan took out a candy from his pocket, carefully peeled off the candy wrapper and handed it over: "You just woke up, eat a candy to prevent low blood pressure."
Qiao Nian looked at the candy he handed over and felt as if she was in another world, but she quickly adjusted herself, took it and put it in her mouth.
The orange flavor spreads instantly in your mouth.
The pleasant sweet and sour fruit candy is the best calming agent. Qiao Nian can feel his limbs beginning to recover his strength.
She bit a candy in her mouth, tilted her head, and her dark eyes were brighter than the stars: "So this is it?"
"We are on a small island in the Caribbean." Ye Wangchuan tucked the quilt gently for her and answered each of her questions slowly and patiently.
PS: Happy New Year, my darlings!
