Billionaire's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 2032 - 175: Drifting on a Deserted Island

This threat was truly severe for Lu Yinxing.

If Xia Ye never spoke to her again, how dull her life would be. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Lu Yinxing said, "I won’t sleep, brother, don’t ignore me."

Lu Yinxing’s whole body was in pain.

But the surroundings were still enveloped in darkness.

No waves, calm and tranquil.

Time seemed to be at a standstill.

But all of this made Lu Yinxing feel even more terrified.

The silence was frightening.

Lu Yinxing said, "Brother, I want to hear you sing, sing for me, alright?"

Lu Yinxing had never heard Xia Ye sing before.

In Lu Yinxing’s impression, the eldest brother was a genius, but very stingy with words.

On ordinary days, he would say as few words as possible, not to mention singing.

Lu Yinxing had seen him play the piano, but had really never heard Xia Ye sing.

Lu Yinxing originally thought Xia Ye would definitely refuse.

She even suspected that her brother couldn’t sing at all.

But unexpectedly, Xia Ye’s voice rang out in the night sky.

Lu Yinxing didn’t expect Xia Ye’s voice to be so beautiful.

It was entirely different from his usual speaking voice.

That kind of voice, as if wrapped in an ice layer, seemed to have some sort of magic power.

Lu Yinxing felt she was truly hallucinating.

Because she actually thought Xia Ye’s voice was exactly like her idol Night’s.

For countless nights and days, Lu Yinxing had fallen asleep accompanied by such a voice.

Night’s voice also gave Lu Yinxing a lot of courage.

This was the reason why Lu Yinxing was madly infatuated with Night.

Lu Yinxing felt very satisfied.

No matter what they had to face next.

Even if the worst result was that perhaps, she and Xia Ye would really die on the sea.

But she could actually hear Night’s voice here.

Yet Lu Yinxing still felt very sad.

Listening to it, she suddenly started crying loudly: "Brother, I don’t want to die, I miss Mom and Dad. If both of us die, what will they do? They surely won’t be able to live on in sadness."

Xia Ye said, "We will live on, look over there."

Xia Ye pointed in a direction.

Vaguely, a small island could be seen.

In an instant, a glimmer of hope ignited in Lu Yinxing’s heart.

No matter what, they could finally find a place and no longer drift aimlessly.

The two of them struggled to swim towards that direction.

But alas, Lu Yinxing was really out of strength.

In the end, Lu Yinxing lay on the tent.

Xia Ye pulled her over.

Lu Yinxing didn’t know how long had passed.

But from her angle, she could see Xia Ye’s silhouette.

He was trying so hard.

Suddenly Lu Yinxing felt unafraid.

No matter what happened.

She suddenly wasn’t scared at heart.

Lu Yinxing was very grateful that in every moment of darkness in her life, Xia Ye was by her side.

Finally, they reached the beach.

The feeling of standing on solid ground was indescribable.

Actually, later Lu Yinxing learned she had only floated in the sea for two hours.

But those two hours were perhaps truly the longest in her life.

When Xia Ye carried her to the shore.

He also collapsed into the sand.

The two of them lay on the beach.

Completely exhausted.

But Lu Yinxing didn’t expect there were other people on this beach.

It was Wu Wei and Wu Mengmeng.

The two of them had also drifted to the island earlier.

Seeing Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye, they were both shocked and delighted.

Xia Ye quickly regained his strength.

However, Lu Yinxing did not recover.

Lu Yinxing had been stung by a jellyfish.

The toxin spread throughout her body, causing severe pain.

There was no medication here.

Luckily, it wasn’t a lethal toxin.

With time, she could gradually recover.

But Lu Yinxing was in so much pain.

The pain made her cry out.

All the others gathered around her.

But they had no solution.

Xia Ye sat on the sand.

Letting Lu Yinxing sleep in his arms.

He comforted Lu Yinxing in a gentle voice, like coaxing a child.

Wu Wei and Wu Mengmeng had never seen this side of Xia Ye.

It was a stark contrast to his usual icy demeanor.

What was more, his eyes were filled with worry and helplessness.

Xia Ye could actually show such an expression.

Previously, Wu Wei, feeling too gloomy, learned to smoke.

He had a lighter in his pocket.

Thankfully, after drifting in the sea for so long, it didn’t break or get lost.

Wu Mengmeng picked up some dry branches on the island.

They soon had a fire going.

The four of them looked like a group of drenched chickens.

There was a huge temperature difference here.

In the day, it was unbearably hot, at night they shivered.

The fire quickly roared to life.

Everyone finally felt a bit better.

The four of them sat by the fire.

Lu Yinxing seemed to be asleep.

But she wasn’t actually.

She was just in a dazed state.

Wu Mengmeng said, "Xingxing will be fine, right?"

Xia Ye said, "She will be fine."

Though Xia Ye said this, he still held Lu Yinxing tightly.

Trying to warm the person in his arms with his body heat.

Wu Mengmeng saw the worry and fear in Xia Ye’s eyes.

And could only pray silently in her heart.

At that moment, a meteor streaked across the sky.

Wu Mengmeng suddenly said, "It’s a meteor, the Leonid meteor shower."

Indeed, as Wu Mengmeng spoke, large swathes of meteors fell from the sky.

No one expected there to be a meteor shower tonight.

And to see it in such a way.

Wu Wei nudged Wu Mengmeng’s arm, "What are you doing just standing there, make a wish!"

But Wu Mengmeng just smiled, "Wishing on a meteor shower is to fool kids, it’s just a natural phenomenon, not related to whether wishes come true or not."

Wu Wei was not pleased upon hearing that.

Wu Wei said, "If you won’t, I will."

With that, he sat on the sand, joined his hands together and closed his eyes.

Looking very devout.

Wu Mengmeng didn’t expect Wu Wei to believe in this.

Lu Yinxing lay in Xia Ye’s arms.

And in her grogginess, she opened her eyes.

What she saw was a sky full of meteors.

It was beautiful.

Beautiful like a dream.

It seemed as though the horizon had become a phantom, like the aurora.

The meteor shower’s tails shone brightly before vanishing.

But one after another, turning into a large expanse, forming a spectacular natural phenomenon.

Although Lu Yinxing’s mind was fuzzy, she still felt like she was in a dream.

She wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating.

Lu Yinxing only felt like she was lying on the clouds.

Having just experienced a life-and-death ordeal.

It seemed to have been thrown to the back of her mind.

And what’s left was just the relief of surviving the ordeal.

After the meteor shower, everyone lay down by the bonfire and fell asleep.

Only to wake up as the sky gradually brightened.

When Lu Yinxing woke up, she found herself lying in Xia Ye’s arms.

Xia Ye was leaning against a giant rock.

In front of them was the fire that had just gone out.

Thin smoke was still rising from it.

Beside her, Wu Mengmeng and Wu Wei were also lying together.

Lu Yinxing’s head was still a bit dizzy.

But she quickly remembered many things from last night.

Last night, they had pitched their tents on the beach to watch the meteor shower.

But they didn’t expect that when everyone fell asleep, the tide would suddenly rise.

After drifting in the sea for two hours, they eventually drifted onto this island.

Lu Yinxing seemed to remember being stung by a jellyfish.

Lu Yinxing slowly got up.

Sure enough, her ankles were completely swollen.

But fortunately, the jellyfish’s venom wasn’t too potent, and she could recover on her own.

When Lu Yinxing moved.

Xia Ye woke up.

Seeing Lu Yinxing already sitting up.

Xia Ye said, "You’re awake. How are you feeling? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

Lu Yinxing shook her head.

Xia Ye felt Lu Yinxing’s temperature.

Her fever had gone down, it seemed she was almost recovered.

But Xia Ye himself wasn’t in good health due to food poisoning before.

Plus, soaking in the seawater for so long last night.

Lu Yinxing found that Xia Ye was burning up, his fever was even worse than before.

Lu Yinxing was extremely worried.

But Xia Ye said, "I’m fine. I’ll go find you something to eat."

At that moment, Wu Wei and Wu Mengmeng also woke up.

Their stomachs were growling with hunger.

But on this island, finding food wasn’t guaranteed.

Wu Wei and Xia Ye planned to go try to find some.

Meanwhile, Lu Yinxing and Wu Mengmeng stayed behind, planning to light more bonfires, waiting for rescue.

Actually, their drifting time wasn’t long yesterday.

As long as Mai Xiaoqi and the others contacted the rescue team, they should find them soon.

This was for certain.

Wu Mengmeng lit three bonfires.

Turning around, she asked with concern, "Yinxing, are you feeling better? Your foot, is it alright?"

Lu Yinxing smiled, "Don’t forget, I’m a doctor myself, this little injury is nothing."

Saying this, Wu Mengmeng finally felt relieved.

The two of them sat on the rocks.

Wu Mengmeng said guiltily, "Actually, it’s our fault. Last night, we fell asleep during watch duty and didn’t notice the tide rising, otherwise this wouldn’t have happened."

Lu Yinxing said, "How could anyone have predicted that? Besides, the tide rose so quickly, there was no time to react, as long as everyone’s alright, nothing else matters."

This was something they were sure of.

Because at that time, only Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye’s tents were particularly close to the sea.

When they were swept away by the tide.

Mai Xiaoqi and the others had already safely run ashore.

Everyone else was safe, and that was enough.

Now all they could do was patiently wait for rescue.

Wu Mengmeng said with some concern, "I wonder when they’ll be able to find us."

Lu Yinxing felt much more relaxed.

Probably because last night was truly a close call between life and death.

Now having escaped, she felt the whole person was just bouncing back.

Nothing else was important, as long as they were alive, as long as everyone was fine.

Lu Yinxing said extremely optimistically, "If it’s sooner, we’ll go back sooner; if it’s later, we’ll go back later. With how advanced technology is now, I’m sure they’ll find us eventually. Besides, we came on an adventure, and now encountering this situation, being stranded unexpectedly, it’s quite an experience. When we go back, we can brag to Xiao Qi and others for a while."

Lu Yinxing’s extremely positive mood seemed to infect Wu Mengmeng.

Wu Mengmeng immediately smiled, "You’re right. As long as everyone’s safe, it’s like we’re still on an adventure, there’s nothing to worry about."

Lu Yinxing looked at Wu Mengmeng’s eyes curved like a crescent moon.

Feeling like this was a side of Wu Mengmeng she hadn’t seen before.

She thought for a while before realizing what was unusual.

Wu Mengmeng wasn’t wearing glasses.

She must have lost them yesterday while drifting in the sea.

Wu Mengmeng’s glasses were thick and large.

Usually, they covered half of her face.

But when she took them off, Lu Yinxing realized how different she looked with and without glasses.

Wu Mengmeng’s eyes were actually very beautiful.

Like brilliant gems.

And they were clean and pure, as if they hadn’t gotten stained by the world yet.

Lu Yinxing couldn’t help but praise, "Mengmeng, you look really good without glasses."

Wu Mengmeng blushed, "Re... really?"

Lu Yinxing nodded, "I don’t get how Wu Wei can bully such a cute sister; I have a younger sister too, her name is Gu Tiantian, and our whole family just wants to hold her in our hands."

When Wu Wei was mentioned, Wu Mengmeng lowered her head.

Lu Yinxing asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Did Wu Wei bully you again? If he did, you must tell me, I’ll get back at him for you."

Wu Mengmeng quickly shook her head, "No, he didn’t bully me."

Actually, Lu Yinxing knew these two had a conflict.

But she didn’t know what it was like now.

Just now when she saw the two of them wake up, they seemed uncomfortable even talking.

But no matter what, they lived under the same roof.

After all, it was someone else’s family matters, and Lu Yinxing wasn’t one to interfere.

Before long, Lu Yinxing and Wu Wei came back.

There was a dense forest behind the island.

It didn’t take them long before they returned.

They brought back a lot of fruits.

Lu Yinxing had some knowledge of these wild fruits.

That’s because she had studied various herbs since she was young.

She was also very familiar with various plants.

They were mostly rare fruits and some were quite delicious.

Wu Wei also brought some fresh water using banana leaves.

Fortunately, the forest had various small pools.

The water in these pools was fresh water.

It seemed they could survive on this island for several days without worry.

As long as they had food and water, they could hold on.

After finishing breakfast.

Lu Yinxing had mostly recovered.

But Xia Ye was still running a high fever.

Even though he acted like nothing was wrong.

Lu Yinxing knew that Xia Ye was someone who could endure a lot.

Lu Yinxing was worried.

She planned to go into the forest to gather some medicinal herbs.

Wu Wei was on the beach looking after Xia Ye and watching the bonfire.

Lu Yinxing and Wu Mengmeng entered the forest.

The place was rich in resources.

Lu Yinxing found various medicinal herbs.

Some were for inflammation and pain relief, and some were for reducing fever and dampness.

There were even some rare and valuable herbs.

Lu Yinxing felt this island was like a treasure trove.

Lu Yinxing gathered a lot of herbs, then started heading back.

But when they returned, Xia Ye and Wu Wei were nowhere to be found.

The three bonfires on the beach were also out.

Lu Yinxing and Wu Mengmeng immediately became extremely worried.
