Even though she knew perfectly well that this person was probably not Mo Yunjing, the fact that he spoke coldly and distantly to Lu Qingyan with that extremely familiar face still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Qingyan curled the corners of her lips and asked in return, "When asking someone who they are, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
"Huo Jin." The man looked at the woman who had argued with him, but unlike usual, he didn't seem to dislike this woman who had suddenly appeared. Looking at the drastically different scenery around him, he vaguely guessed what had happened. He also guessed that she might have saved him, and his guard immediately lowered considerably.
Although complete trust was impossible, her eyes were as pure as crystal, which made him unconsciously trust her, so he said his name.
"Huo Jin?" Lu Qingyan murmured the name, then asked him curiously, "How did you end up being thrown into the sea?"
Huo Jin's expression turned quite unpleasant when certain things were brought up. However, seeing that Lu Qingyan didn't seem particularly curious about his face, he couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you heard of me?"
It's not that Huo Jin is narcissistic; it's just that the Huo family is quite prominent and well-known in Lianjiang City and even throughout Country A. He took over the entire family at a young age and occasionally gives interviews to television stations. His image often appears on television and online. If he didn't try to disguise himself, many people would recognize him on the street.
Lu Qingyan glanced at Huo Jin, then at Xiao Hong and Xiao Xiao, and the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xiao Hong blinked and mustered her courage to say, "We've never heard of that."
For some reason, Xiao Hong felt a little scared when she was around Huo Jin. She also found it strange; he hadn't done anything to her, so why was she so afraid?
Huo Jin then noticed the two people, and his gaze fell on Xiaoxiao, who shook her head.
Unlike Xiao Hong, who might feel scared, Xiao Xiao simply found Huo Jin very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but wonder if this was also why their tribe forbade them from getting close to humans? Perhaps being near humans made them feel uncomfortable.
However, she wasn't stupid; she wouldn't ask Lu Qingyan this in front of Huo Jin.
Where is this place?
“Beauty Island,” Lu Qingyan blurted out.
She felt that if she didn't hurry, those two guys would start talking about Mermaid Island, a name that made her feel completely unsafe.
However, the name I casually mentioned seems to have some... indescribable flaws.
For example, after hearing her finish speaking, Huo Jin looked at her with a mocking expression: "Beauty Island? That's certainly true to its name."
Lu Qingyan was momentarily confused. Could Huo Jin really be flirting with her?
"Hey, you still haven't told me why you were dumped here?" Lu Qingyan turned her face away awkwardly.
These words were hitting Huo Jin where it hurt, and the expression on his face became uncertain.
Lu Qingyan felt sorry for him, thinking about how badly he had been injured. So she patted his shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay. If those things make you unhappy, don't think about them anymore. Anyway, you're alright now, and you'll be able to go back someday."
Xiaohong and Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. They were still a little reserved in front of this human and dared not speak easily, for fear of revealing the secret.
