The thunder outside the cabin gradually subsided.

Xie Huaiye's fear gradually subsided.

But the arms around Yan Ning did not loosen.

Outside the window, the sound of thunder and rain was pattering.

Yan Ning could clearly sense it.

The warmth and heartbeat of another person pressed close behind me.

Her back was stiff, and she dared not move.

Xie Huaiye's warm breath gently brushed against the back of her neck.

It brings a series of subtle tingling sensations.

Yan Ning stared into the darkness with her eyes open.

My mind is a mess:

What's going on here?! Even if his mental age has dropped to that of an eight-year-old, his body is still that of an adult!

It looks a bit odd that the two of them are crammed together like this!

But what came from behind.

It was the sound of breathing gradually becoming steady and long.

Unconsciously, he gently rubbed against her back.

This made Yan Ning's heart soften for no apparent reason.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

the next day.

Under the blazing sun, the salty sea breeze carried a dry heat.

The rescue ship cut through the azure waters.

Finally, they reached the makeshift dock on the deserted island.

Zhou Tian was the first to jump down, a smile plastered on his face.

He waved to everyone on the island who were eagerly awaiting the production crew.

"Thank you all for your hard work! We've had a lot of anxiety! The recording of the third episode is finally over."

His voice was a little dry.

His eyes quickly swept across the crowd, finally landing on Xie Huaiye.

Xie Huaiye was sitting on a rock.

He had a conspicuous white bandage wrapped around his head, and his face was somewhat pale.

Yan Ning stayed by his side without leaving for a moment, with two big dark circles under her eyes.

She didn't dare close her eyes all night.

Zhou Tian walked over quickly, squatted down, and checked Xie Huaiye's injuries.

His tone was full of apology:

"Mr. Xie, I'm so sorry! I've made you suffer."

"The production team will definitely take full responsibility, find the best doctors, and use the best medicine! We will cover all expenses."

Who are you?

Xie Huaiye's reaction surprised Zhou Tian.

This man, who usually exudes a powerful aura, now had a look of wariness in his eyes.

He was like a frightened little animal.

He suddenly shrank back.

He subconsciously grabbed Yan Ning's hand beside him.

Yan Ning immediately sensed his tension.

She quickly patted his arm with her other hand, her voice soft and gentle:

"It's alright, Xiao Ye, don't be afraid. Director Zhou is here to help us, he's a good person."

So the group boarded the ship that was returning home.

The journey at sea was long and silent.

Xie Huaiye spent most of his time sticking to Yan Ning.

The way he looked at the sea was filled with childlike curiosity.

Yan Ning forced herself to stay awake.

He was dealing with Xie Huaiye's endless barrage of questions.

Her heart was heavy with worry.

The ship finally docked.

The familiar hustle and bustle of the port came rushing towards me.

"Finally, we're out of that awful place! That's great!"

"The mainland, the familiar mainland!"

Everyone felt like they had survived a disaster.

My steps faltered as I stepped onto solid ground.

As everyone stepped off the gangway, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared.

It glided silently to a stop in front of everyone.

The car door opened.

Two men in sharp suits stepped down.

Their gazes were precisely fixed on Xie Huaiye.

"Young Master, we've come to take you back. Master and Madam were very worried about you."

Xie Huaiye suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Like a startled rabbit, it immediately hid behind Yan Ning.

He grabbed Yan Ning's sleeve, his voice trembling noticeably:

"Sister...who are they? They're so scary, like the bad guys on TV!"

Yan Ning turned around.

She forced a gentle smile and patted his back reassuringly.

"Don't be afraid, Ono. They are not bad people. They were sent by your family to pick you up and take you home, and also to see the best doctor."

"go home?"

Xie Huaiye repeated blankly.

There was no concept of home in his eyes.

There is only resistance to the strangers and the unknown in front of you.

He stubbornly shook his head, gripping Yan Ning's hand even tighter:

"I don't want to go, I'm scared, sister, please come with me! Please!"

Yan Ning looked into his pleading eyes and felt extremely distressed.

She took a deep breath and hardened her heart.

They pried Xie Huaiye's fingers apart one by one.

She looked directly into Xie Huaiye's eyes, her tone gentle yet firm:

"Ono, be a good girl and go with the uncles first. Sister..."

She paused, suppressing a sob in her throat, "I'll come find you as soon as I've finished dealing with things here, okay?"

“We agreed that my sister would keep her word.”

Xie Huaiye's eyes welled up with tears.

But looking at Yan Ning's serious eyes...

He finally pursed his lips and nodded vigorously:

"You absolutely have to come! I'll be waiting for you! I can't lie to you!"

He kept turning back to look at himself.

Led by the man in the suit, he reluctantly got into the luxurious Rolls-Royce.

The car window slowly rolled up.

He blocked his gaze from looking at Yan Ning.

The car sped away.

Heading to the city's top and most expensive private brain hospital.

The top floor of the hospital.

VIP treatment area.

Xie Huaiye was just guided to sit down.

Then came the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.

Xie Heng practically burst in, his hair a little disheveled.

Even the expensive suit jacket is crooked.

He rushed to Xie Huaiye, looked his son up and down at the bandage on his head, his tone both anxious and helpless:
