Xie Huaiye's body visibly stiffened.
Fingers picked at the moss in the cracks of the stones.
He was silent for a few seconds before answering in a low voice:
"...I haven't said yet."
Yan Ning turned her head.
Her clear eyes stared directly at him, a hint of confusion in them:
"Then why don't you say so?"
Xie Huaiye's Adam's apple bobbed.
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the turbulent emotions surging within them.
The sound was as soft as a sigh:
"Because I..."
The rest of the sentence was not uttered.
"Whoosh—!!"
Without any warning.
The gentle sea breeze suddenly turned violent!
Like a ferocious beast roaring.
The sky darkened instantly, and dark clouds rolled in, pressing down on the sea.
Large raindrops pelted down with a loud patter!
"not good!"
Yan Shisi's expression changed drastically. He jumped up and shouted at everyone:
"It's a typhoon! A typhoon is coming! Quick, get back to the cabin! Hurry!!"
"Ah, hurry up and go in!"
"That was terrifying!"
Everyone panicked and rushed toward the hut.
The cabin is now the only shelter!
Yan Ning was also frightened, and she immediately got up and ran to the hut.
But she was slender, and the wind was too strong.
The wind made her sway like a leaf.
He couldn't stand steadily at all, his steps were unsteady, and he almost fell several times.
"careful!"
Xie Huaiye rushed forward and grabbed her slender wrist.
He was strong and pulled her along, against the wind and rain.
They retreated with difficulty.
Yan Ning felt a warmth in her heart and was about to say thank you.
At this moment.
"Snap!"
"Boom!!"
A loud cracking sound came from above.
A huge, dead tree that was snapped in two by a strong wind.
Like an out-of-control cannonball, it carried the sounds of wind and rain.
It slammed straight down on Yan Ning's back.
Too fast! Too close!
Yan Ning didn't even have time to turn around and see what it was.
"careful!!"
Xie Huaiye's pupils suddenly contracted.
It felt like all the blood in my body rushed to my head.
He had no time to think at all; it was purely instinct.
He used all his strength to shove Yan Ning forward violently!
Yan Ning exclaimed in surprise.
He was pushed forward and fell to the ground, landing on the wet, slippery mud.
Just as she fell to the ground.
"Bang!!"
A heavy, muffled thud that sent chills down your spine!
That huge dead tree.
It landed squarely where Xie Huaiye was standing.
No, to be precise.
It hit his body before he could dodge.
It hit him on the head!
Xie Huaiye didn't even utter a sound.
His body fell straight to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
Not moving at all.
Bright red blood mixed with rainwater.
It quickly spread across the ground around his head.
shocking!
Time seemed to stand still.
Yan Ning lay on the ground and suddenly turned around.
What I saw was Xie Huaiye's fallen figure and the glaring bright red blood!
"Xie Huaiye!!"
Yan Ning scrambled over to her.
Completely disregarding the mud on the ground and the falling raindrops.
"Xie Huaiye! Wake up! Wake up!"
Yan Ning knelt beside him.
Her voice was choked with sobs as she called his name over and over again.
The wind and rain intensified.
It seemed to want to devour everything on the island.
"Quick! Bring Xie Huaiye in!"
Yan Shisi was the first to rush into the rain, followed closely by Sun Wuji.
The two braved a fierce wind that could blow a person away.
They painstakingly found the spot where Xie Huaiye had fallen.
"One, two, three! Go!"
Yan Shisi and Sun Wuji gritted their teeth, each supporting one side, using all their strength.
They finally managed to pull the unconscious Xie Huaiye out of the mud.
Yan Ning also struggled to get up from the ground and stumbled after them.
They rushed back to the cabin together.
The very next second they rushed into the cabin.
"Buzz—Crackling!"
A piercing noise.
The drone, which was hovering in mid-air, was instantly swept away by an even stronger gust of wind!
It tumbled and disappeared into the gray sky.
In the live stream room.
Millions of viewers watched this thrilling scene with bated breath.
The screen suddenly went black.
All that remained was complete darkness and the piercing static of electricity!
Holy crap!! The screen went black?!
The typhoon blew the drone away! Oh no! We can't see it anymore!
[Oh my god! How is Young Master Xie? He's bleeding so much! It's terrifying!]
[Rescue! Call rescue now! What are the production crew doing?!]
[Waaaaah, please, Young Master Xie, nothing bad should happen to you!]
In the studio.
Zhou Tian's face turned deathly pale.
He stared at the suddenly black screen and listened to the report from the control room that "the signal has been completely interrupted."
My heart sank instantly.
He immediately grabbed the satellite phone, his fingers trembling as he dialed the rescue team:
"Hey, a typhoon's hitting the island! Xie Huaiye's injured! Quick! Send people over there immediately!"
A fragmented reply came from the other end of the phone:
"Director Zhou...the wind is too strong! Taking off now is suicide! The waves...the waves are over ten meters high, the ship can't even reach the shore!"
"We can only... wait until the eye of the typhoon passes and the wind subsides before we have a chance..."
"Wait?! Xie Huaiye is unconscious! Can we afford to wait?!"
Zhou Tian roared into the microphone, his voice becoming hoarse.
But he responded.
Only a more piercing electrical hum and busy tone remained.
