"Brother Yuanyuan, where is this? Why are there only two of us?" Gu Xin looked around, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

“After you passed out, the boat capsized. Then we encountered a storm and were blown away. We probably weren't blown to the other side of the sea, but we're probably some distance from where the boat is anchored.” Lu Zheng walked in the opposite direction of the sea, saying as he went, “Don't be afraid, I'm here. I observed the area before dark; this coastline isn't very big. We'll definitely find some vegetation after walking for a while. Then we'll make a fire, dry ourselves off, and wait for Si Lang and the others to come find us.”

"Yes, I'm not afraid," Gu Xin replied softly.

"Does your wound still hurt? Do you want me to carry you?" Lu Zheng asked again.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm fine." Gu Xin had secretly applied the jade beads to the wound, and she felt much better now.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached a small grove of trees. Neither of them had any weapons, so they were just two people with their bare hands. Lu Zheng didn't dare to put Gu Xin down, fearing that she might encounter poisonous snakes or something.

After soaking in the sea for a while, the two of them were completely naked except for their clothes.

After a long time, they finally managed to start a fire, and with the light, they could see each other.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Brother Yuanyuan, do I look like a crazy woman with messy hair?" Gu Xinhuan asked with a laugh.

“No, my Xin Xin is naturally beautiful. Even with messy hair, her looks are still top-notch.” Lu Zheng stared at Gu Xin for a while before shaking his head.

"Pah!" Gu Xin blushed. "Brother Yuanyuan, your gaze is really weird, just like how my older sister used to look at her brother-in-law."

"What are you thinking about! Come closer and dry yourself off. Even if you have that miraculous medicine that can bring you back from the dead, you can't avoid catching a cold!" Lu Zheng pulled Gu Xin even closer to the fire.

After he finished speaking, he felt the surroundings become quiet again, with only the firewood crackling and burning.

Lu Zheng turned to look at Gu Xin, and sure enough, Gu Xin was looking at him in surprise.

"Brother Yuanyuan, you, you know my secret? Did you give me the jade beads to eat?" Gu Xin only realized this now. How did she wake up? Although her wound hurt a little after waking up, she didn't feel anything else. It was like the intense poisoning she felt before she fainted.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just flustered. You were cold, and I wanted to warm your hands, so I noticed." Lu Zheng explained, "It's okay, you don't need to tell me. I won't tell anyone else either. Xin Xin, as long as you're by my side, as long as you're okay, whatever secrets you have, good or bad, you don't have to tell them if you don't want to."

Gu Xin pursed her lips, looking at Lu Zheng's sincere gaze, feeling somewhat guilty.

Now that Brother Yuanyuan discovered it himself, can she tell him? She didn't tell him voluntarily; Brother Yuanyuan discovered it himself, and she only came back to life because of Brother Yuanyuan's discovery. Can she tell Brother Yuanyuan the truth now?

"Don't be like this." Lu Zheng patted Gu Xin's head. Looking at her guilty gaze, Lu Zheng felt sad. "Xin Xin, I really don't need to know. It's okay if you don't tell me. I just want to be with you, to always be with you. You really don't need to mind the secret, and I won't mind either. Don't make things difficult for yourself, and don't feel guilty towards me. It will break my heart."
