To quote a cliché line, it's not about forever, but about having once owned it...
As ti goes by, what can be preserved, isn't it just mories?
Missed too much beauty, now whatever can be grasped in hand is a gain, isn't it?
If it weren't for the poison in Xiaofan, Leng Yue would be a hundred tis willing to live here with him for a lifeti.
Without an antidote, Xiaofan will die.
This is an unchangeable fact.
After living intimately for more than twenty days, Xiaofan once again faced the maturity phase of the White Scorpion virus, falling into a coma.
Watching Xiaofan's face grow paler, Leng Yue saw it with her eyes but felt anxious in her heart.
The number of trees on the island is sparse, and most are solid, impossible to chop down for a raft. Even if a raft is made, how can one prepare enough food on an island lacking food to drift at sea, surely this poses even greater danger.
Not knowing the direction, nor even the distance to the nearest land, in short, escaping the island independently is an impossible task.
To be discovered by others, Xiaofan can only live on the island, using wet weeds to create thick smoke, hoping passing ships or planes will notice.
A big SOS is drawn on the beach every day; it's redrawn every few days, because when the tide rises, the SOS signal painted on the beach will be imdiately washed away.
As ti slowly dwindles, Leng Yue's mood grew increasingly depressed.
"Leng Yue..."
"Mm?"
After a tumultuous mont, as emotions cald down, a worried look appeared on Leng Yue's brows again.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
"Don't worry about , life and death are fated, wealth is in the hands of the heavens. I've made it this far, it's truly a gift from heaven. Back in high school, I was supposed to die under Black Scorpion. Now that I think about it, just surviving this long is quite satisfying."
"Lies... Captain, even now, are you trying to comfort ?" Leng Yue shifted slightly, curling up in Xiaofan's arms.
Hearing this, Xiaofan lightly patted Leng Yue's smooth shoulder, giving a wry smile.
"It's so unwilling." So unwilling, especially after breaking all taboos with him just now. If that day truly cos, and he leaves this world alone, Leng Yue would never survive alone on the island.
"You still have the chance to go back. Even if I die, you can take my last words back."
"Haven't you already told Li Kuo everything you wanted to say? Family matters, what else is there to worry about."
Leng Yue still has a chance to return to land, Xiaofan may not have much ti, but she still has decades of life left. There's still a chance to et rescuers.
"If you were to have my baby, you should at least leave a bloodline for , Ye Xiaofan." Xiaofan said with a gentle smile.
"I'm not pregnant now…"
"Yeah, by the way, do I have so issues in that area? After so many tis, I really don't feel a hit. I obviously worked so hard, and you cooperated perfectly." Xiaofan frowned, puzzled.
"I'm afraid I'll really disappoint you."
"Hmm?"
"When I was following Bai Xue as a child, her father arranged for Ruyu and to undergo a surgery that prevents pregnancy, so... even if we do it every day now, it's impossible…"
"Ah, seriously? The heavens really want to forget , Ye Xiaofan, not even allowing to leave a child, damn it."
Originally Xiaofan thought of retaining Leng Yue this way to keep her alive, but he didn't expect such a thing to intervene.
"I always thought, with so many close female friends around you, there are people who can give you children, so I didn't tell you…" Leng Yue also sighed for Xiaofan. Yes, bearing a child for him would be such a happy thing.
"Is there a surgery to restore pregnancy?" Xiaofan asked earnestly.
"Not sure, why do you ask?"
"Live well, be an ordinary woman..."
"Even if I wish to be an ordinary woman, you have to live on with . We have less than twenty days, we can't give up yet."
Yes, we can't give up, there's still ti…
"I haven't given up…"
"Mm, take ho, you promised."
"Let's sleep... we'll catch a big crab tomorrow."
"Mm."
Yearning for a beautiful future, but alas, reality is cruel.
Xiaofan's body deteriorated day by day, and the old wounds healed very slowly.
When the remaining ti started counting down from ten days, Xiaofan's steps beca shuffling.
Seabirds flock in the skies above the island, yet even wanting to eat sothing other than seafood beca impossible for Xiaofan.
Gazing at the free-flying seagulls, he sighed inwardly. Is it ti to say goodbye to this world?
"Captain, the wind is strong outside, you go back first, I'll handle dinner."
Even after so long, Leng Yue couldn't change calling Xiaofan captain.
"No, while I can still walk. Let's take a few more steps."
Yes, when young, don't just stay ho sleeping, playing on the phone, living decadently.
Youth should be vibrant, focus energies elsewhere. Strive and live your youthful years fully.
Don't fear exhaustion, when truly can't go on, dying two years early ans more ti to sleep.
When alive, live well, because after death, it's forever.
"Wow, there are so many shrimp here."
The receding tide revealed many small ponds along the mangrove shores, where there's plenty of good food.
"Are there a lot? Let help you."
With those words, Leng Yue quickly ran towards Xiaofan's direction.
Indeed, the small ponds nearby were filled with various-sized shrimp, once drained, they could be handpicked.
As the two were imrsed in shrimp gathering, Xiaofan suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" Raising her head slowly, Leng Yue looked at Xiaofan curiously. She found his gaze directed behind her.
Turning around, the scene before her was shocking.
An unknown object on the mangrove tree behind them was flickering with red light.
No, not red, it was green... no, again, it seed blue... no, it turned back to red. What is going on?
Refraction of light? How can there be such strange refraction?
"Leng Yue, do you sll sothing sweet?"
