The next morning, as the morning sunlight shone through layers of gauze curtains, Su Jiu opened her eyes.
"You're awake," Shen Mochen said. "I've already put breakfast on the table. Get up, wash up, and eat."
The man's voice was so gentle.
[Isn't this the epitome of a "daddy-type" boyfriend? I'm so envious of Su Jiu!]
[How can I possibly get a boyfriend like Shen Mochen?!]
[These two are just so sweet together! Please let them spend more time together. I don't want to see the other guests struggling to survive on the island anymore. I just want to see these two in a sweet romance.]
Su Jiu rubbed her messy, bird's nest-like hair, got up, put on her slippers, and went to wash up.
The system's voice echoed in her mind: "[You fell asleep in the hot spring last night, and Shen Mochen carried you out.]"
Su Jiu: [Wow, Shen Mochen is so considerate?!]
System: [Yes, Shen Mochen treats you quite well.]
Actually, Shen Mochen's stomach had been growling for a while, and he had already prepared breakfast, but he was waiting for you to get up so he could have breakfast with you.
Su Jiu blinked, somewhat incredulous.
[Is Shen Mochen really this good now? After all, in the original story, Shen Mochen was the one who killed me for Wen Wan.]
Shen Mochen: ...He's not, he didn't, don't talk nonsense.
System: [Although, Shen Mochen has indeed been quite good to you, probably due to the changes in the plot since you transmigrated into the book.]
Su Jiu: [I understand now. Shen Mochen is so good to me because I saved him. He sees me as his savior and wants to repay me.]
Shen Mochen: ...Is it possible that there is another reason?
He decided to wait until the two of them had more time together and were more familiar with each other before making a decision.
The two had breakfast together, and after breakfast, they were to take a yacht back to the small island as arranged by the production team.
[Big news! Big news! Last night, Wen Wan didn't go with Su Miaomiao to collect the snake eggs. They were exhausted from catching chickens all day and planned to rest and recharge before going to catch snake eggs this morning. Of course, neither of them knew they were snake eggs; they just assumed they were the eggs of a huge animal.]
As soon as Su Jiu boarded the cruise ship, she heard the system's voice.
Su Jiu: [And then what? And then what? Were those two arrested?]
System: [The two returned to the cave, each carrying a large snake egg, and went to their dwelling. After placing the eggs down, they went to move the rest of the snake eggs into the cave, but unexpectedly, the mother of the snake eggs, a giant python, had already arrived at the cave.]
The two men were terrified when they saw the giant python; they ran away crying and trembling in fear.
Su Jiu: [Hahaha, so exciting! And then?! Be more specific! Sigh, I just feel like this yacht is going way too slowly, I really can't wait to see those two looking completely disheveled!]
System: [Your boat has reached the shore soon. The current situation is that Su Miaomiao was so terrified that she wet herself in public! Then, she reeked of a terrible stench, but had no time to cover her shame, and began frantically fleeing through the jungle!]
Seeing the situation was dire, Wen Wan, in the instant she was being chased by the giant python, shoved the snake egg she was carrying into Su Miaomiao's hand. Seeing that they were both being pursued, she quickly split up with Su Miaomiao; Wen Wan ran east, and Su Miaomiao ran west.
[And so the python kept its eyes fixed on Su Miaomiao and charged westward.]
[Su Miaomiao screamed in terror, running frantically, but she quickly tripped over a dead tree branch and the giant python caught up. At the same time, Su Miaomiao reached Su Xinglan.]
Su Jiu was eagerly watching the drama unfold when she realized they had traveled to the shore. Excitedly, she said to Shen Mochen, "Let's go, let's see what's going on on the island."
“Okay.” Shen Mochen followed Su Jiu over.
Because Su Miaomiao was being chased by the python, crying and screaming, the other guests on the island also knew what was going on. Everyone gathered around, but fearing that they might be accidentally killed by the python, they only dared to hide far away, quietly hiding under a large tree not far away. Seeing this scene, no one dared to rush over to help.
After all, to them, Su Miaomiao was just a guest they met once.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao was kneeling on the ground. Her knees had been scratched by the sharp branches, and a lot of blood was flowing out. After the fall, the two large snake eggs she was holding were also smashed on the ground. The eggshells broke, and the egg liquid inside slid out.
Upon seeing this, the python roared angrily. It coiled up, its body raised high, and two thin black lines appeared in its two emerald green eyes. It flicked its tongue and opened its blood-red mouth.
"Help! Second brother, save me!" Faced with extreme fear, Su Miaomiao was unable to get up from the ground. She screamed in terror, calling out to Su Xinglan not far in front of her, her eyes filled with tears.
"Second brother, although I'm not your biological sister, we grew up together! When we were little, I risked my life to save you, are you just going to watch me die?!" Su Miaomiao shouted in despair.
"Don't be afraid, Second Brother is here." Afraid of disturbing the giant python, Su Xinglan lowered his voice and carefully said that he had found a rough, sharp branch from not far away.
Just as the enormous python was flicking its tongue and attacking Su Miaomiao, at the crucial moment, Su Xinglan grabbed the thick tree branch and thrust it hard into its mouth!
Caught off guard, the giant python was stabbed into the mouth with a stick, letting out an angry roar and immediately whipping its tail out to slap Su Xinglan hard.
Su Xinglan, struck hard by the python's tail, was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
