Before I knew it, my eyes were wet with tears, and the whole world seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
She gently wiped away her tears with her fingertips, but then she vaguely heard a familiar voice.
"wheat!"
Song Mai was startled; it was Chu Xing's voice!
She instinctively looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
It was so quiet around that there wasn't even a bird in sight; the only sounds were the wind and the waves.
She lowered her eyes in disappointment: "How could it be him?"
"wheat!"
This time she heard it clearly; it really was Chu Xing's voice.
She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.
A gust of wind blew, and sand flew everywhere.
A tall figure slowly walked over from a distance, his gait and build identical to Chu Xing's.
Song Mai rushed over happily and hugged him tightly.
At that moment, fear and resentment erupted.
She began, as if lamenting, "I thought I'd never see you again."
Chu Xing gently stroked her back with one hand and whispered to comfort her, "How could that be? I am a lucky person and the heavens will always protect me. I will never abandon you."
Song Mai gently looked him over and noticed that his face was covered in scars, but thankfully he was unharmed.
His left arm was severely injured, and blood slowly dripped from his fingertips, pooling on the ground.
Song Mai's eyes reddened, and she anxiously asked, "What exactly happened? How did you get so badly injured?"
Chu Xing shook his head: "It's nothing, just a scratch from the wreckage."
On their way to find a doctor, Song Mai learned that Chu Xing had already fallen into a coma when the plane crashed.
But when he woke up, he found himself floating on a piece of wreckage.
The pain in his arm left him unable to move, and it took him a long time to recover.
In order to survive, he had no choice but to ignore his injuries and swim desperately to the shore.
As soon as we got ashore, we heard Song Mai crying. In such a quiet environment, the crying was particularly jarring and heartbreaking.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating.
But then they discovered that it really was Song Mai sitting on the shore.
Her small voice was muffled as she gazed helplessly at the calm sea.
Seeing her like this broke Chu Xing's heart, so he quickly came over and called her name.
"How is your assistant?" Song Mai didn't see Assistant Lu, so she asked instinctively.
Chu Xing smiled and reassured him, "He has already gone to see a doctor, and he's fine for now. You'll see him when you go to the hospital in a little while."
"How did you two get in touch?" Song Mai found it very strange.
Chu Xing said mysteriously, "It relies on the communication between our two consciousnesses."
Such words are undoubtedly a lie. Song Mai shook her head helplessly and said with a soft laugh, "What kind of time is this to make jokes like this?"
"Don't worry, he didn't come back with me. Something came up and he was held up, so I went ahead."
Song Mai nodded thoughtfully, thinking that she was lucky.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Ji Feng frantically searched for Song Mai.
The moment he saw Chu Xing, the smile on his face froze, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "It's so good that President Chu is safe and sound."
Chu Xing only glanced at him before understanding his little trick.
Not wanting to argue with Song Mai in front of him, she said calmly, "Good people are always blessed by heaven."
These words made Song Mai's eyes widen instantly. The oblivious Song Mai hadn't yet noticed the tense atmosphere between the two.
"You two actually said the same thing. It seems you really are lucky."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xing deliberately pulled Song Mai into his arms and said with a smile, "Of course, if I weren't lucky enough to marry you, how could I have married you?"
Ji Feng's smile could no longer be maintained. He lowered his head awkwardly and made up an excuse to go somewhere else.
While Chu Xing was bandaging his wound, in order not to frighten Song Mai, he asked her to help him find Assistant Lu to get something.
Ji Fenghe entered shortly after she left, glanced at Chu Xing lying on the bed, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I didn't ask the rescuers to come and save you as soon as possible. It's just that the rescuers' attitude was not good. They didn't want to move the injured in the first place, so they were even less willing to listen to Mai Zi's repeated pleas for help."
"I know that if I hadn't threatened them with the benefits of this project, they probably wouldn't have resettled the refugees by now," Chu Xing said calmly, his eyes lowered.
The two of them were caught in an awkward silence. Ji Fenghe instinctively wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
As time ticked by, Ji Fenghe finally couldn't help but ask with concern, "Since you've already met them, and they're the ones who revealed your identity to Mai Zi, won't everything be exposed?"
Chu Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no need to worry about that."
In a sense, the two people's personalities are very compatible, and they may become very good friends.
However, their different identities and their shared love for the same person mean that they cannot coexist peacefully.
"Although I feel guilty towards you, I'll say it again: I will never give up Mai Zi. We'll compete fairly, and whoever wins her heart in the end will marry her."
This caused Chu Xing's eyes to narrow slightly, and his face to turn cold.
Ji Feng hadn't expected his feelings for Song Mai to have deepened to such an extent that he was now considering marrying her.
Chu Xing said in a low voice, "Of course."
Even so, the alarm bells had already been ringing in my mind.
Ji Fenghe is a great threat. He takes meticulous care of Song Mai and has the advantage of being able to get close to her due to his status.
When Song Mai pushed open the door and came in, she had a strange expression on her face: "Why did I just see Manager Ji walk out of your ward? When did you two become so close?"
"After all, there was a previous project collaboration, so he inevitably had to do a good job of putting on a show."
Chu Xing's words were laced with barbs, causing Song Mai to frown involuntarily.
"Did something happen between you two? You don't seem very happy," Song Mai couldn't help but wonder.
Chu Xing didn't want to continue the conversation about Ji Fenghe, so he started inquiring about the refugees' situation.
“My sister passed away. She had an asthma attack and didn’t receive timely help.” This is what Song Mai regrets the most. The thought of a vibrant life being wasted because of the inaction of others is hard for her to accept.
Chu Xing saw the sadness on her face and said with heartache, "I will definitely make them give my sister an explanation. We absolutely cannot let them off easily."
She wiped away her tears and said helplessly, "But what can we do?"
