Chapter 6
The ships along the coast have already carried away all these people from the underworld. The entire island has become completely deserted at night. There are probably only two living people left: Chu Yingyu and I.
After these two days of tossing and turning, I, who am allergic to romance, didn’t think about a couple’s vacation on an island or anything like that. I only thought about Robinson Crusoe and Friday surviving on a deserted island.
"What are you looking at?"
"Hello, Robinson."
Chu Yingyu's voice sounded behind me. I turned around and called out the name in my mind. Meeting those beautiful and calm eyes, I shook my head quickly.
"I was just talking nonsense."
"You always talk nonsense."
Although he was indifferent, his words were to the point. After he complained in a nonchalant manner, I gritted my teeth and looked at the gray coastline and changed the subject.
"Brother, I have a question, can you help me solve it?"
Chu Yingyu nodded, and my gaze shifted to his jawline, a very clear and beautiful line. In fact, whether it was the boy's shoulder and neck line or the waist and hip line, I, a dancer, envied him.
I started practicing dancing when I was a kid because I was prone to gaining weight, so my family made me learn dancing from a young age. If I couldn't control my mouth, I had to move my legs.
I also plan to become a dance teacher after graduating from university. It’s a nice idea.
But now it is a question whether I can go back.
Thinking of this, I felt a pang of pain in my heart. My head was rubbed again, and I found that Chu Yingyu was holding my head again and trying to scratch my chin, but I grabbed this cold hand.
"Brother, brother, stop! Let's chat!"
It was difficult to avoid looking at this face. After all, it is human nature to like looking at beautiful things.
"Mr. Xianke said he picked you up before. What's your relationship?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Uh..." I didn't quite understand, "He even wanted to teach you his skills. I thought you two had a good relationship."
"If we had a good relationship, I wouldn't have passed my inner energy to you."
“…”
That's the truth. I tried to sort out this relationship in my mind and expressed my suspicions.
"So, when you were a child, an old man picked you up on this island, and then he gave you to someone else? But how did you become a killer? Of course, it's okay if you don't want to tell me!"
I am very sensible when it comes to prying into other people's privacy. I don't want to make the other person unhappy and make my life difficult.
"Why ask that?"
"I'm a little curious and want to get to know you better."
"And then kill me?"
"Hahahaha, how could I possibly kill him? Big brother thinks too highly of me."
"One day I'll be able to kill him."
“…”
Am I that powerful? Or is he super powerful but too modest?
"Since keeping me here will only bring trouble to you, why don't you do it?" It's not that I want to die, I just can't understand it.
Chu Yingyu didn't think too long and gave me a direct answer. There were only three reasons why he kept me. First, he could kill me with one hand now. In simple terms, he had complete control over me.
The second reason was that it would be a shame to lose his internal energy, so he decided to keep it. The third reason was the most subtle, he said he couldn't bear to part with it.
What kind of nonsense literature is this? Why don’t I believe in it?
This reluctance should be caused by multiple factors. These three simple words contain more complex elements than the previous two reasons.
He didn't intend to elaborate on why he was reluctant.
Are these ancient men too good at flirting? Earlier, the one-armed handsome man praised me for being cute, and now this one says he can't bear to leave me. Ugh, did I become a heartthrob after traveling to another world?
My thoughts flew for a while, and then I became serious again.
I knew when to quit and stopped asking why I was reluctant to let go. Instead, I returned to the focus of my previous life experience.
He had nothing to hide and actually told me everything. Should I say that he treated me as his own, or as someone who will die sooner or later?
This island is called Yintian Island. It does not exist on the map. It is a mysterious island like a paradise.
The brave old man lived his retirement life here after retiring from the underworld. One day, a human trafficking ship was caught in a storm, and only Chu Yingyu and a dog were washed ashore.
The child and the dog stayed on the island for a few days and were nearly eaten by wild animals, so the old man rescued them.
Later, when they went out to sea, the old man casually abandoned the man and the dog to the next more prosperous island. It was also on another island that the beautiful child holding the puppy was picked up by the master of the Eightfold Palace.
At that time, the old man must have seen that Chu Yingyu had excellent physique, but he had no intention of passing on his skills.
"Where are your parents?" I asked carefully after thinking about it.
"Dead. The night my mother sold me, she burned down the house and dragged my gambling-addicted father to his death in the fire."
The young man said these words indifferently, sounding like a beautiful, strong and tragic character, but he himself was unaware of it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
If the person himself does not feel anything, it seems that others have no right to be pretentious and feel sad for him.
After all, I am a girl who grew up in a good society. I felt sad when I heard it, and I couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and raise my hand. But before my hand landed on his head, it was caught by the boy who looked straight ahead.
He didn't want me to touch him, and I read this as a danger signal.
My wrist was suddenly grabbed and I screamed in fear. His cold eyes turned straight and stared at me.
"I didn't mean to plot against you. I just couldn't help but touch your head, just like you touch mine, to encourage you and comfort you!"
Damn it! Are you only allowed to touch my head and chin, but I'm not allowed to comfort you like this? Double standards!
After listening to my hurried explanation, Chu Yingyu pondered for a few seconds, then held my wrist, slowly bent down, and gently pressed my hand on his head.
Like a large dog letting me rub it obediently.
The weird thing is, after he did this, I didn't know how to comfort him. Because he didn't look sad at all, I was just being sentimental and still wanted him to cooperate with me to finish the job of smoothing his hair.
After rubbing it a few times in embarrassment, he commented, "It's uncomfortable."
I:"……"
Go to hell! Who can tease girls as well as you? I don’t know how many girls’ heads you have rubbed to be so good!
I said I didn't want to stay in the mountains all the time and wanted to go to the beach to see the snow. Chu Yingyu agreed and tied a rope around my waist.
He did it very seriously and tied the other end of the rope to his right hand. I was speechless for a long time as I watched his skillful way of tying people up.
But it turned out that the hemp rope tied around my waist seemed to have become my safety belt.
There was still some snow, and the way down the mountain was slippery and difficult to walk on. I wanted to find my way up and down the mountain by myself, but I didn't want Chu Yingyu to use light skills with me, so he compromised and used this method.
If I fell into a snowdrift, slipped into a pit, or took the wrong path and encountered a jackal, he would fish me out immediately.
No wild beast dared to approach Chu Yingyu, and it was very safe around him.
I was trying to find some joy in the midst of hardship, enjoying the seascape on this snowy day, like I was on a deserted island trip. The bodies left behind from the earlier melee had either been collected by my comrades or dragged away by wild animals, so the coastline was relatively clear.
The waves ran tirelessly ashore, and the beach was flat and wide. After seeing the snow scene for a long time, I was looking forward to the sun coming out and seeing the golden sea.
I looked at the young man walking behind me. He had this world in his eyes, but he seemed to be pretending nothing.
Tsk, even if her personality isn't what I like, she's still so pretty, she's like a painting when placed here.
Noticing my inquiring gaze, Chu Yingyu's eyes, which were fixed on the void, gradually focused and my figure appeared.
I bravely walked over and left a row of footprints close to him on the soft sand.
"Chu Yingyu, what are those three characters?"
Then it occurred to me that he hadn't even asked my name. He probably didn't care at all, right?
The young man drew the sword from his waist. The sword was very ordinary, and it seemed that its only advantage was its sharpness.
The sword's blade sliced through the sand, carving his name. I finally knew what those words were, and why they reminded me of the phrase "whatever you ask for."
I smiled, squatted beside it, and wrote my name on the cool sand with my index finger.
"My name is Qin Xiao'e, look."
As the saying goes, exchanging names is the first step to building a closer relationship. Since you can't escape for the time being, it's definitely a good idea to build a good relationship first!
“Clatter—”
Another big wave came, and I still wanted to save the place where I had written the words. Chu Yingyu pulled the hemp rope, and I threw myself on him, only to feel him hugging my waist tightly.
He took me and flew back as swiftly as a dragonfly skimming the water, away from the reach of the sea water. My cheek was pressed against his chest, and my heart was beating wildly.
After landing, he let me go without saying anything, like a loyal bodyguard.
He spent an entire afternoon with me at the beach, and after I sneezed twice, Chu Yingyu forcibly took him back.
He lit a fire for me at the cave entrance, placed me on the mat, and without a word, lifted my ankles. I stared with wide eyes and held my legs with both hands.
"what!"
Ignoring my resistance, Chu Yingyu tried to take off my shoes. These boots had a side zipper, but they also had decorative straps on the uppers, unlike ancient shoes.
After these few days of trekking, my shoes have worn out and the stitches are breaking.
Chu Yingyu fumbled around and found that he couldn't take off his shoe even by untying the laces. Before I could even say zipper, he took out a steel needle and pierced it.
The sharp needle pierced into the shoe surface. His hands were very skillful and he used the needle to peel off my shoe very accurately without hurting me at all.
After taking off my wet and cold socks, my feet had turned black and blue from being frozen.
My shame had been fed to the fish, and I felt like I had no desire to live anymore as he wiped it away and then warmed me by the fire.
What's wrong? This sudden good thing makes me feel too uncomfortable. I am a person with a strong sense of boundaries.
Alas, my shoes and socks are lost, which means that some of the visible modern elements in me are missing.
Chu Yingyu found some clothes, shoes and socks of the immortal guest for me to wear. They were very ill-fitting, but there were no women's clothes and no bellybands, which meant that my little friend would be free.
Life problems are really annoying. I washed my underwear with soap nuts in a clumsy way and took the things to dry them.
I thought it would be better to dry clothes outside than inside the cave, but when I looked up, I saw no facilities for drying clothes. There was no clothesline or hangers.
Chu Yingyu saw my predicament and came from behind me and took away my bra and underwear. At that moment, I felt extremely restless.
"Wait wait wait! Big brother!"
The stubborn boy shook out my underwear and hung it on a high branch. Looking at the two poor things waving in the wind, I dug my toes into the ground in shame.
What kind of public execution is this? The mismatched inner wear and the little pink cartoon pattern.
The next day, I caught a cold. Chu Yingyu, who noticed that something was wrong with me, stood by my bed in silence for a long time.
During the few minutes he was standing at the head of the bed, I thought he was thinking about how to beat me to death.
I apologized in a daze and fear, but I am just a burden now. If you want to take me with you, you must be prepared to face these troubles!
Just like raising a pet, you also need to be responsible!
Despite my anxiety, Chu Yingyu did not blame me. Instead, he made fish soup for me and even went out to find some herbs to boil for me.
The medicinal soup was so unpalatable that it almost killed me, but he forced it into my mouth. I wanted to drink it, but after the first sip, my body protested.
Chu Yingyu, who had anticipated the situation, clamped my two hands and used the other hand to hold the bowl and force me to drink the medicine. I choked several times but finally finished the medicine.
After feeding the medicine, I looked at the soiled quilt and lowered my head in shame.
The young man took the quilt away. He knew the cave of the lonely brave old man very well. He brought another quilt to cover me and rubbed my head as usual.
Maybe being sick will make people feel dependent, and those rational fears are temporarily obscured by the other person's tenderness.
I couldn't help but rub his palm.
The boy was stunned, and made an unintelligible syllable in his throat. He simply held my face with both hands and rubbed it more earnestly.
He seems a little happy. What's going on?
The author has something to say:
Sigh, in fact, Chu Yingyu is very simple, Xiao E will know it later 23333
Also, there are some changes to the core story. I can't write about the protagonist killing his wife to prove his point. The kind of story I wanted to write before can't be presented, so the article will be changed a little bit, and I also made some changes to my copywriting.
If you can't bear to read it, you can cancel the collection_(:з」∠)_
