She sniffed around gently again, but there was nothing special about it. She must have been half asleep, otherwise how could she have felt that Ah Zu had been there?
After confirming that nothing was amiss, Su Yuxi lay back down on her pillow and continued to dream.
The next day, Su Yuxi didn't sleep well. When she got up, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if her head had been stuffed with a lump of paste, and she felt like she was floating.
After she finished washing up, she turned around and started a rant with Wan Qianqian.
Just as I arrived at the gate, I ran into Lin Xiao, who was returning from a patrol with a group of people.
The two looked at each other in silence. Finally, the man opposite her nodded slightly and went on patrol to other places.
Su Yuxi scratched her head in confusion, wondering why she saw the word "trouble" in Lin Xiao's eyes.
Does that mean she's a big problem?
I don't understand.
Men are strange creatures.
...
Su Yuxi spent five boring days on the island. At first, the novel things there amazed and intrigued her, but she couldn't stand the similar scenery day after day.
Moreover, Fu Huaijin has started disappearing again. He doesn't answer my calls or reply to my messages. Seeing the screen full of green text is incredibly frustrating.
She wanted to leave, to go find that man.
For some reason, Fu Huaijin's departure this time made her very uneasy. She wanted to find him and make sure he was alright.
She got up early that day and went to find Principal Lin, wanting to tell him that she was going back.
Lin Xiao stared sharply at Su Yuxi, who held her head high, his brows gradually furrowing. To be honest, after spending the last few days with her, his impression of the girl in front of him was that she was petite and delicate, had no threat whatsoever, loved to act cute, and needed a large number of people to protect her every few steps.
He just didn't understand what Fu Huaijin saw in her. There were plenty of women like her, why bother keeping her?
trouble.
"You can't get out now." He offered no explanation, simply telling her in a cold voice that she couldn't leave.
This result naturally failed to convince Su Yuxi.
"Why?"
She pointed to the yacht not far away: "There are boats over there."
He then pointed to the helipad in the distance: "There are helicopters over there, why can't we leave?"
Lin Xiao glanced in the direction she was pointing and frowned even more: "The yacht is out of fuel."
"The helicopter hasn't been able to get a flight route, so it can't go out for the time being. Also, the sea area is currently closed, and it won't be open for a while." Principal Lin's eyes were firm, and he spoke with a serious and sincere expression, showing no trace of lying.
Su Yuxi's face showed a hint of suspicion; she was not quite convinced.
Yesterday she saw people taking a yacht out, and they all have spare fuel tanks, so how could they suddenly run out of fuel?
"Then have someone send it over now."
She should be able to get out in another day or two.
Lin Xiao glanced at her with his eyes downcast, continuing to lie without batting an eye: "The signal device has been malfunctioning recently and is being repaired. I don't know when it will be fixed."
In short, it boils down to three words: We can't leave.
Su Yuxi looked shocked, squatted down, ran her fingers through her hair, and frantically pulled at her hair: "How could it be such a coincidence?"
"How long are we going to be stuck here?"
"I don't know." After coldly uttering these words, Principal Lin turned and left.
He had barely left when Wan Qianqian arrived.
She rushed over after receiving a message from Lin Xiao, and as soon as she arrived, she saw Su Yuxi squatting on the ground.
"Xi Xi..."
Wan Qianqian ran over quickly, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and said urgently, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Did that bastard Lin Xiao say something to you? That's just how he talks, don't take it to heart. I'll go beat him up for you in a bit."
Su Yuxi raised her head, blinked her slightly red eyes twice, and looked at her with a pitiful and charming expression that could break anyone's heart.
"I want to go out, I want to go back, I don't want to be here."
"But Principal Lin just said that the yacht is out of fuel, the planes are under air traffic control, and there is no cell phone signal, so we can't make calls. What are we going to do if we can't get out?"
Wan Qianqian was speechless after hearing this, and chuckled to herself. This was obviously a ridiculous excuse from that scoundrel Lin Xiao, and only this silly girl would believe it.
But she had no choice but to lie along with him: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I'll have him fix it, it'll be fixed quickly."
After saying that, she looked away slightly, not daring to meet her eyes. She was afraid that she would lose control and tell this silly girl the truth: "Anyway, the scenery on the island is quite nice. We can stay a little longer, can't we?"
Su Yuxi shook her head: "I've seen enough of the places here. Even the most beautiful place gets boring after a while. I want to go back."
"This..." Wan Qianqian looked troubled. The main problem was that the place was too small and there weren't many entertainment facilities. They had already walked around the whole place several times in the past few days, so it was not easy to fool them now!
"But we can't get in touch with anyone right now and we can't go out. Can we just be patient for a few more days?"
Su Yuxi looked at the yacht in despair, then at the direction of the helicopter, and finally could only lower her head helplessly.
She waited patiently for three days, during which time another major change occurred.
Last night there was a torrential rain at sea. The next day, the ship was blown away by the sea wind, the helicopter was destroyed, and the signal base was struck by lightning before it could be repaired.
In short, this natural disaster completely destroyed her slim hope of returning home, making it even more impossible for her to go back now.
Su Yuxi sat quietly on the reef. The sea breeze made her figure appear even more lonely and desolate, like a waiting-for-husband rock, gazing at the boundless sea, hoping that the man would finish his business quickly and then come to take her back.
Wan Qianqian and Lin Xiao stood not far away. Looking at Su Yuxi's somewhat lonely figure, Wan Qianqian's eyes were full of pity: "When will Fu Huaijin finish his business? What do you want to do by trapping her here?"
She could tolerate it, but seeing her friends forcing smiles all day long made her feel bad.
Lin Xiao looked at her with a deep gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "All you need to do is keep her company and keep her entertained. Don't ask her anything else that you shouldn't ask."
Wan Qianqian scoffed, turned to face him, stood on tiptoe, grabbed the collar of the man who was a head taller than her, and said with a strong threat in her eyes, "What did you say? You pull me in when you need me, and then tell me to leave you alone when you don't? You can't just kick someone after they've served their purpose."
Lin Xiao showed no anger, nor did he push her hands away. Instead, he picked her up and his sharp eyes approached her like a mountain pressing down on her, making it slightly difficult for her to breathe.
He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "If you don't want her to die, you'd better leave her here. She's Fu Huaijin's weakness. If someone catches her, guess how horribly she'll die."
Wan Qianqian stopped struggling and stared at him in astonishment. Although she didn't know the details of the matter, Lin Xiao's words meant that the situation must be very serious.
