After hearing Xu Wei's words, Liu Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and smiled through them.

Chen Jian, who was standing to the side, was still looking at me, his voice a little hoarse: "Jiaojiao is right. If it weren't for Brother Sihai's help, I don't know how many times I would have died. When my son is born, I will definitely make him kowtow to Brother Sihai and recognize Brother Sihai as his godfather."

After hearing Chen Jian's words, I couldn't help but feel a longing in my heart. If there really was a fair-skinned little baby who would hold my hand and call me godfather, that feeling would be wonderful.

I quickly waved my hand at Chen Jian: "Forget it, forget it, it's too formal for us to talk like this! Sit down and eat. There's wolf meat stewed in the pot today, it's the best meat. Eat well, because you'll have more responsibilities in the future. Tomorrow we'll go out to catch short-legged birds, and you'll be the main force."

Wang Ping also stepped in to lighten the mood, and everyone burst into laughter, making for a very enjoyable meal.

Chen Jian even drank a whole bottle of wine. Although the wine wasn't very strong, it had been a long time since we, stranded on a desert island, had tasted pure alcohol.

This wine had been infused with brandy beforehand, so the taste was quite good.

Chen Jian was a little drunk, but the atmosphere was great. We sang and danced around the campfire, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

That evening, Wang Ping and I carried Chen Jian back to his cabin, and Liu Jiaojiao thanked us profusely once again.

After settling Chen Jian in, Wang Ping and I returned to our respective cabins and lay on our beds. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Chen Jian was truly a lucky guy.

After being stranded on this deserted island, they not only found love but also had a child, which is truly the envy of everyone.

I was lying down when I suddenly heard footsteps. I looked up and, by the light of the fish oil lamp in the room, I saw Xiao Qiang walk in from outside. When she saw that I was still awake, she carefully sat down by my bedside and sighed softly.

"When we first found out Liu Jiaojiao was pregnant, we were quite scared, but now that I think about it, it's actually a happy thing. And I'm so envious of her now, she and Chen Jian are able to have their child. Sihai, do you think you would be happy if we had a child?"

Looking at Xiao Qiang's expression under the lamplight, my heart suddenly skipped a beat...

The fish oil lamp in the room was something Wang Ping and I worked on for a long time before we finally made it.

I filled a clay bowl with fish oil and placed a small piece of rope, which I had previously traded with a foreigner, on top to serve as a wick for the oil lamp. Although it was very dim, it at least provided some light.

Seeing the hopeful expression on Xiao Qiang's face in the light, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

I've been with Xiao Qiang for a while now. At first, I thought of her as an extremely willful and selfish person. But after getting to know her better, I discovered that she is actually very soft-hearted and quite vulnerable.

She had a lot of pressure and sadness in her heart, but she never told anyone and just carried it all on her own.

Just like last time when she broke her leg and it hurt so much, she gritted her teeth and endured it. I knew then that this woman was stronger than I had imagined.

Perhaps, as she told me, she grew up alone with her grandmother and her life had always been difficult, so she was used to not telling outsiders about her pain.

After we got together, she gradually opened up to me, but seeing her like this now makes me feel really bad, and I feel more heartache than anything else.

I sat up, grabbed Xiao Qiang and pulled her into my arms, patted her shoulder and said softly.

"Don't worry, once we get off this deserted island, I'll have as many children as you want. But in the current situation, I don't want you to take any risks. We have no medicine, let alone a doctor. If anything happens here, I can't bear the consequences! I can't accept the pain of losing you, and I don't want you to suffer any accidents or harm. So please forgive my selfishness, okay?"

After hearing what I said, Xiao Qiang turned to look at me, her eyes red. It took her a long time to wipe her eyes.

"I was just saying it casually, why are you so nervous?"

Looking at Xiao Qiang's smiling face and her red-rimmed eyes, I suddenly felt a surge of passion. I pressed her down on the bed and kissed her...

After our lovemaking, Xiao Qiang lay softly in my arms, patting my chest and playfully complaining, "You just said you didn't want me to get pregnant, and now you're doing this? You two-faced bastard..."

I blew a whistle into Xiao Qiang's ear and said with a mischievous grin, "If you keep talking to me in such a sweet voice, I might lose control again and do something I shouldn't, and then you'll have no one to reason with."

Xiao Qiang blushed when I teased her like that, turned over, and turned her back to me without saying a word.

I held Xiao Qiang and slept soundly through the night. When I woke up early the next morning, Xiao Qiang was gone. I heard bursts of laughter outside the wooden house. When I got up and went out, I found Chen Jiantao and Wang Ping packing up ropes. Chen Jiantao had somehow made a large vine net. He looked at me with a happy expression.

"Brother Sihai, do you think this net is big enough? I was thinking that if we try to catch those short-legged birds by brute force, it will be very difficult. So I got up early and made this net. If we use this net to catch those short-legged birds, won't it be much more efficient?"

Wang Ping looked at Chen Jian and chuckled, "This kid has gone crazy. Look at all the vines he's gathered. He also found several dead tree trunks somewhere and dragged them down the mountain to dry. He says he's going to make a small crib. I used to think this kid was lazy, but I didn't expect him to be so diligent."

After hearing what Wang Ping had said, I chuckled at Chen Jian and said, "Oh my! You only care about things that are right under your nose. I was just saying a couple of days ago that I wanted to get more jade to use as pillows, but this kid forgot about it as soon as he said it. Now he can even go out and pull down tree trunks by himself. He's really amazing!"

As we were talking, Wang Xiaoxiao came out of the house, holding a large bowl. She looked at Chen Jian with a smile and said, "We've made some soup. Go and take it to Jiaojiao. I heard from Xiao Qiang that pregnant women are often tired. If Jiaojiao is asleep, bring this bowl back and we'll keep it warm in this clay pot. If she wakes up, let her eat some first, otherwise her stomach won't be able to handle just eating grapes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jian smiled and took the bowl from Wang Xiaoxiao's hand, then skipped and hopped away to his yard.

Not long after, he returned with an empty bowl, grinning foolishly as he flattered her: "Oh, Accountant Wang's cooking skills are getting better and better! Jiaojiao drank it all without leaving a drop."

After saying that, he turned around and bowed deeply to Wang Xiaoxiao: "Accountant Wang, don't worry, I will definitely remember about that jade stone. After we catch those short-legged birds, I will make a jade pillow for each of you so that you can sleep comfortably. As a way of repaying you!"
