The only way to repay a life-saving debt is to repay it with one's own body. Isn't that a better way to put it? How did it suddenly become about being a second parent?
Lian Jin rejected the role. He glanced at Lin Youyou indifferently and said, "I'm not your father, don't call me that."
Lin Youyou: "No, you are. I say you are, so you are. I'm not an ungrateful person. I must treat you as my father so that I can take care of you in your old age."
Lian Jin: "..."
Why did he suddenly regret saving this young girl? Was he really that old?
"I'm not your father, and you don't need to support me in my old age. You should think of other ways to repay me."
Lian Jin spoke with a cold expression.
Lin Youyou didn't care what he thought, "There's no need to discuss this issue, just listen to me."
Ignoring Lian Jin's cold face, Lin Youyou continued:
"I don't know where we are right now. We've lost our phones. Do you remember Shen Xingmian's phone number?"
Speaking of this, Lian Jin suddenly remembered that they were safe. He should inform Shen Xingmian first, as his cousin must have been terrified today.
So he asked Lin Youyou to go outside and borrow a phone from a nurse. He always had a good memory, and he remembered Shen Xingmian and Hu Lai's phone numbers.
I asked a nurse and found out that they were brought here by a fishing boat at sea, and the hospital was quite far from the hotel.
It's essentially a county town attached to a city.
When Shen Xingmian received the call, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and told the police that there was no need to continue the search, as the person had been found.
"Really? That's great!"
Nanzhi stood up excitedly. This was the best news she had heard all day. The past few hours had been unbearable; she was on the verge of collapse.
But in front of Qin Xi'er, he had to pretend that nothing was wrong, so as not to worry her.
"Zhizhi, I'm so...so happy, sob sob...thankfully they're alright."
Qin Xi'er couldn't help but sob; she was truly terrified.
Nanzhi reached out and touched her hair. "You're alright now, Xi'er. Rest a little longer, and we'll go there to find them tomorrow."
Qin Xi'er originally wanted to say that they could go now, but after glancing out the window, she realized it was getting dark, so she stopped talking.
In short, finding the person is more important than anything else.
The group rested at the hospital for one night, and the next day, they drove directly to the hospital where Lin Youyou and Lian Jin were.
The moment Lin Youyou saw Nanzhi, she rushed into her arms.
"Waaaaah... Zhizhi, I almost died, I, I was so scared."
Nanzhi reached out and stroked her soft hair again and again, speaking with heartache:
"It's good that you're alright. A person who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune in the future. Our Youyou is a very lucky child."
It's terrifying to think about. This was really dangerous. If they hadn't been rescued by a passing fishing boat, those two people would probably be in grave danger.
Just as Lin Youyou was about to continue crying, Nan Zhi suddenly stepped back, almost causing Lin Youyou to fall. If Qin Xier hadn't caught her in time, she might have actually fallen to the ground.
Nan Zhi turned her head and glanced at Shen Xingmian, who was looking down at her with a smile. That feeling was all too familiar.
Nanzhi: "..."
Do women have to be jealous too?
"Miss, let's not even talk about women. Judging from Shen Xingmian's current trend, he might get jealous if you just glance at a stranger on the street in the future."
Nan Zhi: "...Meow Meow Machine, I think you're making this up."
MeowMeowMachine: "..." He didn't, he only speaks with facts.
"Miss Lin is not feeling well, why don't you go and rest in your hospital bed?"
Shen Xingmian glanced at Lin Youyou indifferently, which made Lin Youyou shudder. She felt a little resentful, but she didn't have the courage to compete with Shen Xingmian for Nanzhi. How infuriating!
She turned and went to the bed next to her. For convenience, Lin Youyou asked the nurse to add a bed for Lian Jin so that they could take care of each other.
Lian Jin, on the other hand, remained on the bed the entire time, watching the farce unfold.
Qin Xi'er ran over, tears streaming down her face. "Cousin, thank goodness you're all alright, otherwise... I might have really regretted it to death."
The whole incident had little to do with Qin Xier; Lin Youyou had simply lost her footing. However, Qin Xier couldn't help but think that if she had been able to grab Lin Youyou in time, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Lian Jin smiled at his self-reproaching cousin and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Xi'er, don't think so much. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, we're fine, aren't we?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi'er's nose still stung, and she couldn't help but want to cry. Lian Jin said:
"Stop crying. We're alright now. You should be smiling."
Qin Xi'er thought for a moment, then sniffed and decided to wipe away her tears. It didn't seem appropriate to continue crying, so she forced a smile.
"Dad, why are you still forcing my Xi'er to smile? This won't do. You have to be gentle with girls."
Lin Youyou, on the other side of the hospital bed, spoke up.
Everyone: "......"
All of them stared at Lian Jin in disbelief.
Lian Jin: "..."
He was innocent! Lin Youyou was incredibly stubborn. He spent the whole night trying to correct her, but Lin Youyou, like a domineering CEO, insisted on calling him "Dad."
"You'll have to ask Lin Youyou herself about this."
Lian Jin smiled wryly, looking helplessly at the three unsuspecting people.
