C160 I Have Prepared for the Worst
Hai Xiaomin struggled but Ling Yao did not allow her to resist. His hand touched her waist and pinched it. The water that she refused to swallow also slid into her throat.
Only then did Ling Yao let go of her and sit in front of her.
"Cough, cough ~" That saliva almost choked and Hai Xiaomin almost coughed out tears.
"What are you doing? Ling Yao, what are you doing?!" Hai Xiaomin sat up and stared at the man with red eyes.
Ling Yao raised the leg that was bandaged and put his arm on his knee. He looked at her calmly and said somewhat helplessly and innocently, "Why did you wake up so easily today?"
This sentence made Hai Xiaomin slightly stunned. What did it mean? What did it mean to wake up so easily today?
Could it be that there was still yesterday... Her blank expression froze. Clearly, she thought of something. For example, the water gathering tools that were inexplicably broken these few days and the reduced water.
"This isn't the first time?" She stared at Ling Yao in disbelief, as if she was afraid to hear that answer.
At this point, there was no point in hiding it from her anymore. Ling Yao nodded slightly. "Yes."
"No wonder why the tools were broken and not fixed properly. No wonder when she woke up in the morning, she felt less thirsty. It turned out that Ling Yao had been doing this for a long time!
"Why?" She asked in a hoarse voice.
Ling Yao was silent. In the darkness, his expression was somewhat blurry.
Hai Xiaomin excitedly pounced over and grabbed his arm, forcing him to face her. "Say it! Why? I want to know the reason! "
Why... the truth was so different from what she had imagined.
It seems like I have to tell her. Ling Yao took off one of her slender wrists and spoke in a cold voice. He explained weakly, "Hai Xiaomin, that's why I said you are stupid. You always want to give me more food, but do you know... Your body is far worse than mine, even if it's balanced with me. It's basically impossible for you to last longer than me. "
"So, you secretly gave me more water in this way?" Hai Xiaomin's tears fell.
Ling Yao laughed at himself and said, so, you secretly gave me more water in this way?" You don't have to do this. You will probably take me as your priority again."
He did not want her to accept it with guilt, or he did not want her to accept it at all.
"What about now? You clearly need more supplies than I do!" Hai Xiaomin asked unwillingly.
Ling Yao looked at her and smiled without any burden. "Because I may not live long."
People who were destined to die did not need to waste water and food.
"An excuse! It's an excuse!" Hai Xiaomin finally could not take this blow. Her emotions collapsed and she randomly hit Ling Yao's chest to vent her anger.
When he was good, he talked to her about taking care of the weak, about justice and morals. When he was not good, talking about the law of the jungle with her about the survival of the fittest was clearly a contradictory excuse. In any case, she was the one who benefited!
"Hai Xiaomin!" Ling Yao wanted to stop her.
"Ling Yao, you bastard!" Hai Xiaomin cried with tears streaming down her face. Her cries were heart-wrenching and moved people.
Ling Yao pulled her into his arms and hugged her. Hai Xiaomin gradually lost her strength in his firm and warm chest and could only cry.
Ling Yao raised his face, his Adam's apple sliding up and down twice, as if he was swallowing his tears back into his stomach. From his mouth, his low and cold voice did not sound much different, and he said with disdain: "Well, I cried so much that I seemed to have sacrificed myself for you."
"Explain clearly first. I do not have that kind of great feeling of sacrificing myself for others. It is just a matter of fact. If you want to minimize the harm, it is best if we can be saved alive." He hugged Hai Xiaomin and said with a strong self-deprecating smile, "Who would have thought that I would be bitten by a snake..."
Hai Xiaomin's heart ached so much that it felt like it was going to split apart. Did he think that by saying this, it would make her feel a little better?
Ling Yao patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't cry. The water I just fed you is already crying. Isn't it a waste?"
If it wasn't for the fact that the situation was not right and hearing the man's regretful tone, Hai Xiaomin would have shed tears to smile. This was also a guy who did not know how to comfort people.0
The two of them snuggled up to each other like this and sat until dawn.
When Ling Yao's wound worsened, Hai Xiaomin gradually understood the reason why he taught her how to fish, how to teach her how to recognize herbs, and the purpose of the various survival skills that he had given her on the island over the past ten days.
It turned out that he had planned for the worst-case scenario from the very beginning!
On the third day after he was bitten by the snake, in a harsh environment without medical treatment, the few herbs that he had worked hard to find did not get any better. There was an infection in Ling Yao's wound, and he started to have a low fever!
Maybe the snake venom did not kill him. If he did not get an effective treatment for the infection, the series of complications would kill him first!
It was another sunny day. The sea breeze blew, bringing with it hot and humid air currents.
Maybe it was because their luck was too bad, but since they came to the island, they didn't even have a chance to rain.
"Water ~ water ~" Ling Yao lay under the shade of a tree, half unconscious as he muttered. His face was pale, and his lips were dry and cracked. He felt a liquid slip into his mouth, and his Adam's apple unconsciously slid and swallowed.
Even though his sense of taste was no longer that sensitive, he still tasted the sour and sweet juice, and slowly opened his eyes.
In front of him was Hai Xiaomin's enlarged face. Although her face looked haggard and thin, her facial features were still delicate and attractive. He stuck out his tongue and swallowed the wild fruit that she had chewed and fed him effortlessly.
Hai Xiaomin was overjoyed, "You are awake?"
"Yes, I am." The corner of Ling Yao's mouth curled into a faint arc. His obsidian like eyes looked at him with a clear smile." Do you think this can be considered as a successful investment? I got the returns just like that. "
He fed her water from mouth to mouth. In such a short period of time, he had changed the way she fed him food from mouth to mouth.
"If this is really the case, then you are too terrifying. You are able to predict the future ahead of time. You will know that you will be unlucky one day." Hai Xiaomin made fun of him with a bitter smile. Seeing that he wanted to sit up, she quickly went to help him up.
When Ling Yao got up, he grabbed her wrist and stared at the bruise on it. He frowned. "How did you get hurt?"
"Uh ~ nothing. I accidentally rubbed it when I was climbing trees and picking wild fruits." Hai Xiaomin withdrew her hand guiltily and did not tell him about her falling from the tree. There were also a few bruises under her clothes. As long as she was careful, she would not be seen by him. Of course, the other party would not casually lift her clothes.
Ling Yao was speechless. Those cold eyes that seemed to be able to see through all the details of the world had a trace of sharpness as they examined Hai Xiaomin. As for whether or not she had seen through her disguise. Only he knew.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Hai Xiaomin felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Nothing." Ling Yao lowered his eyes and pursed his thin lips with a smile.
It was good that he had never cried. Even if he fell, he could still pat his butt and not cry easily. He was very strong and finally made him feel a little relieved.
