Stranded on a deserted island with my beautiful boss, who used to make me kneel to do my daily work, now I want you kneeling before me, serving me...
...Wang Xiaoxiao held my hand, looked at the child's face, and became exceptionally loving.
“When I gave birth to him, I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep the baby. He is still so weak now. It’s all thanks to Xiao Qiang’s tireless care during this time. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have lost the baby long ago.”
After Wang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she grabbed Xiao Qiang's hand again, tried to curl the corners of her mouth, and then turned to look at me.
"Sihai, you are the child's father, but there's something I want to talk to you about naming the child."
I nodded quickly and wiped away Wang Xiaoxiao's tears: "Of course you can. You are the child's mother, and you can name the child whatever you want."
Wang Xiaoxiao shook her head after hearing what I said: "I want Xiao Qiang to name the child, and I also want the child to recognize Xiao Qiang as the mother. After all, without Xiao Qiang, the child would probably have died on the night of birth."
Xiao Qiang was surprised to hear Wang Xiaoxiao's words and quickly waved her hand to refuse: "How can that be? This is your and Sihai's first child. How can you leave such an important matter as naming to me? Stop joking. You and Sihai can name it."
But Wang Xiaoxiao was exceptionally persistent. I know that Wang Xiaoxiao is usually very easygoing, but once she makes a decision, no one can easily change it.
Seeing them so harmonious made me genuinely happy, so I quickly grabbed Xiao Qiang's hand.
"Since Xiaoxiao asked you to name it, then you can name it. Anyway, we're all family, and you're highly educated, so the name you choose will definitely sound nice."
When Xiao Qiang heard what Wang Xiaoxiao and I said, her eyes lit up, and she looked very excited.
Xu Wei quickly came over and leaned against Xiao Qiang: "Yes, Sister Xiao Qiang, you should name him. I think this child is very destined for you. If you name him, he will be very happy when he grows up and finds out."
Upon hearing Xu Wei's words, Wang Xiaoxiao quickly echoed her, and Xiao Qiang sighed, her expression softening instantly.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at us and smiled slightly: "This child was born in such a place and has experienced hardships, but he still lives in a loving family. Moreover, this is the hope and gift that God has given us. Why don't we call him God-given?"
Upon hearing Xiao Qiang's name, Wang Xiaoxiao murmured it twice, then nodded: "This name is good, a gift from heaven!"
After saying that, I looked at Xiao Tianci in my arms, smiled slightly, and touched the child's forehead.
"Son, did you hear that? Your mother, Xiao Qiang, has named you Tianci!"
As if sensing my thoughts, the child opened his eyes and looked at me with his grape-like eyes. My heart melted.
Xiao Qiang looked at us happily and chuckled, "Isn't this a good name? Little Tianci, you must grow up healthy and leave this awful place safely!"
After saying that, he quickly handed the soup he had just made to Wang Xiaoxiao.
"Hurry up and eat something. You haven't been in a good mood these past two days. Now that Sihai is back, you can finally relax. If you eat well, the baby can have enough milk, and that will help you and your baby get better. Since you've already let Xiaotianci recognize me as his mother, you'd better take good care of my son, or I'll beat you up!"
As Xiao Qiang spoke, she pretended to extend her fist and waved it at Wang Xiaoxiao.
Wang Xiaoxiao's complexion finally regained its rosy hue.
Looking at Xiao Qiang's dress, she quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
After finishing speaking, he took the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp, and also ate several sea cucumbers.
Xiao Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "See, that's good now."
After saying that, he patted my shoulder and said, "Stay with Xiaoxiao for a while. When Xiaoxiao falls asleep, come out for a bit. Chen Jian, they need to talk to you."
Of course I know there's a lot of stuff outside the camp that I need to take care of.
But Wang Xiaoxiao clearly can't live without me; Xiao Qiang is very thoughtful.
Xu Wei nodded quickly: "Yes, they're still grilling fish outside, and Brother Sihai hasn't eaten anything. I'll go get some more grilled fish. Little Miss is also eating what she has in her stomach. It's warm in this tent, so you can sleep more soundly."
After saying that, he followed Xiao Qiang out.
Wang Xiaoxiao leaned against me and chatted with me for a long time until Xiao Qiang and the others brought over grilled fish. After eating some more, she finally lay down again.
Before long, his breathing became steady.
I carefully placed Xiao Tianci next to Wang Xiaoxiao before tiptoeing out of the tent.
When I went outside, I saw Chen Jian and Wang Ping sitting by the campfire next to the tent. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw me come out.
Wang Ping still seemed very worried about Wang Xiaoxiao. I knew what he wanted to ask, so I patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, she's much better now, she's eating a lot, and the baby is doing well."
Wang Ping looked a little embarrassed and quickly looked at me, pursing his lips: "It's just concern between colleagues, Sihai, don't overthink it, I didn't mean anything by it."
I quickly looked at Wang Ping and solemnly shook my head.
"What are you saying? You're my brother, so of course I won't overthink it. What happened between you and Wang Xiaoxiao before was my fault too. Even if you resent me, I won't hold a grudge. Besides, we're all one big family here now. Don't worry, I'm not that petty."
Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what I said, but Chen Jian became anxious and looked at me immediately.
"Brother Sihai, you two hurry up, stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you, why did you bring that group of people here? Yang Rui has already gone to meet up with them, and they've even started a new campfire. A bunch of people are sitting there chattering away, I don't know what they're saying. When I went to deliver grilled fish to them, Yang Rui was all smiles, but I just felt something was off about these people. Why don't we find a chance to shake them off? I always feel uneasy having these tails following me around."
Wang Ping nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Jian's words.
"Yes, I also feel that something is not right about this. Sihai, where exactly did you meet?"
I quickly told Chen Jian and Wang Ping everything that had happened: I had rescued Xu Wei and gotten lost in the woods.
After listening, Wang Ping and Chen Jian frowned deeply: "So that means they were also in that forest? With their equipment and wilderness survival experience, how could they not have gotten out?"
I shook my head. To be honest, I've always had my doubts about this, but I can't ask them directly, so it's just speculation. Now that they're in our ranks, if we want to get rid of them, we need a reasonable explanation, otherwise war is inevitable.
