Chapter 16: Warmth

"Ahh

Yao Zhixia's screams came from the bushes, and when Xue Rin, who was eating vigorously, heard it, he immediately threw down the fish that had eaten more than half of it, picked up the harpoon and ran out.

"What's wrong? You're hurt?"

Xue Rin ran to the bushes, thinking that Yao Zhixia was really going to the toilet, so he had to stretch out his head and poke inside, but Peng Peng, who was chasing after him, jumped directly into the bushes regardless of it.

But because of this, Peng Peng immediately discovered the reason that made Yao Zhixia scream, and a small snake was spitting out letters towards Yao Zhixia.

Peng Peng did not hesitate at all, went up and bit the snake's head fiercely, Xue Rin saw this and immediately raised the harpoon and stuck it the snake's body, the snake first involuntarily curled on the harpoon, and gradually, the whole snake body was loosened.

"It should be dead, Yao Zhixia, did it bite you? I don't know if it's poisonous. ”

Xue Rin threw the harpoon aside, and stepped into the bushes with his long legs, trying to lift Yao Zhixia, who was squatting on the ground.

But Yao Zhixia, who had just been squatting on the ground for a long time, was completely exhausted at this time, her lips were white, and layers of fine sweat were also covered on her forehead.

Seeing this, Xue Rin immediately half-squatted down, stretched out under her with one hand, supported her legs with the other, picked her up by the waist, and hurried to the cave.

After gently putting the paralyzed Yao Zhixia on the grass bed, Xue Rin stroked her sweat-soaked hair with her hand, and hurriedly rolled up her trouser legs, "Where was the bite?

Xue Rin looked at her calves and arms for a long time, but found no traces of being bitten, and was wondering, Yao Zhixia opened her mouth weakly: "I wasn't bitten, I am, I am, scared." ”

"You're not in the right state! you're all weak, are you hiding something from me?" Xue Rin held Yao Zhixia's flushed face with his hand and pressed it on her forehead again.

"I, I'm really fine, you let me stay for a while, just stay for a while. ”

Yao Zhixia grabbed Xue Rin's hand in front of her forehead with both hands, and Xue Rin saw that her mouth was hard, so angry that she directly grabbed her hands with one hand.

"Yao Zhixia, don't you say it, do you? Then I'll be hard!"

Xue Rin said, her other hand had reached Yao Zhixia's waist, her fingers were scratching Yao Zhixia up and down, Yao Zhixia, who was itching to cry and not laugh, closed her eyes, arched her head to avoid Xue Rin's hand, and as soon as she shrunk, one leg lifted up uncontrollably.

"Ahh

Feeling that his hands were freed in an instant, Yao Zhixia immediately opened his eyes.

I saw Xue Rin kneeling beside her, her muscles bulging, baring her teeth, covering her crotch with both hands, and her facial features were also distorted together, and Peng Peng, who was watching the play on the side, thought that the two of them were playing and were running around happily.

Yao Zhixia realized that she was in trouble, so she tried her best to support her upper body, but she couldn't help if she wanted to make up for it, and the hand she had just stretched out stopped in the air again.

"Yao Zhixia, you are really a female god of war, you are not a human when you are ruthless!" Xue Rin took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.

"And you!you bitch!!," Xue Rin freed up a hand, pointing at the grinning puff.

"I, I, I really didn't mean to!" Yao Zhixia whispered.

"Why the hell are you going to say it!" Xue Rin was furious.

"I, I am, here comes that. Yao Zhixia's voice was like a fine mosquito, and his eyes glanced elsewhere.

"What are you talking about?

Xue Rin was a little confused at first glance, but as soon as he thought of her symptoms, he immediately understood what she meant, he cleared his throat a little embarrassed, and said: "Come to menstruation, come to menstruation, what's embarrassing, I am also a person who has a mother." ”

After Xue Rin finished speaking, he pressed Yao Zhixia back to the grass bed, took out all the clothes that had been dried during the day from the suitcase, covered Yao Zhixia layer by layer, added some firewood to the bonfire, and then picked up the iron lunch box and walked out.

"You sleep for a while, I'll go out for a while. ”

Peng Peng sensibly nestled in front of Yao Zhixia's belly, shrunk into a big ball, Yao Zhixia touched its head, and gradually fell asleep surrounded by warmth.

When Yao Zhixia came to her senses again, she only felt warm in front of her, she opened her eyes and looked around the bonfire, only to see Xue Rin tentatively picking up the iron lunch box containing water.

"Are you awake? Come, drink some water, it's a little hot, you take a small sip. Xue Rin held the iron lunch box in one hand and helped Yao Zhixia sit up with the other hand.

Xue Rin's expression and movements were very natural, but Yao Zhixia was a little embarrassed, she used to hurt when she came to menstruation, but she just endured a break and got through it, but now that someone suddenly came to take care of her, she didn't adapt to this strange gentleness.

Xue Rin blew the water in the lunch box, and then put it in Yao Zhixia's mouth to feed her, Yao Zhixia took a sip, the water temperature was just right, a few mouthfuls of hot water in the stomach, and immediately felt that the lower abdomen and limbs were warmer, but the feeling of swelling in the lower abdomen was still faintly troubled.

Yao Zhixia shrunk and lay down on her side, holding her lower abdomen with her hands, and quietly waiting for this round of colic to attack.

Suddenly, a large warm hand was placed on her hand, and then she pulled her hand away and massaged her lower abdomen in circular motions instead.

She opened her eyes in a panic and saw Xue Rin kneeling in front of her, frowning, staring intently at her lower abdomen, rubbing her hands together a few times from time to time, and then covering her lower abdomen again.

"Are you better?" Xue Rin's hand still didn't stop.

"Well, well, much better, it doesn't hurt much. Yao Zhixia was very shy, she had never had the opportunity to be so close to the opposite sex before, and she was a little nervous at this time.

"That, you, below, don't need it?" Xue Rin didn't know how to speak, pointing to Yao Zhixia's thigh.

Yao Zhixia immediately understood what he meant, "Oh, it's okay, maybe it's because I was frozen in the sea a few days ago, or maybe it's because I haven't had enough nutrients these days, I don't have a lot, it's just pain." ”

Xue Rin nodded, withdrew his hand, picked up a piece of firewood and stabbed the bonfire.

Yao Zhixia shrunk under his clothes and secretly glanced at Xue Rin's side face, his side face was very special, when he wasn't smiling, it was very cold, but when he laughed, it was extraordinarily bright.

"Isn't it strange to you, how can I understand this?" Xue Rin said, looking at the firelight.

"Hmm. ”

"When I was a child, my mother would be uncomfortable every once in a while and couldn't go to work, so she could only lie at home, I didn't understand anything at that time, I thought my mother had some serious illness, and asked my mother, my mother really couldn't stand my inquiring character, so she told me that this is what happens to some girls, it's not a big problem, just need to have a good rest, she taught me to pour hot water for her and rub her belly. Later, I grew up and became sensible, but my mother was really seriously ill, and she had a disease that I couldn't do anything about. ”

Xue Rin didn't continue, but Yao Zhixia couldn't calm down for a long time.

This is the first time Yao Zhixia has heard Xue Rin talk to her so much, and it is also the first time she has heard Xue Rin tell her about her private affairs, she only knew that this Xue Rin was a little indifferent and a little arrogant, but tonight she met a once helpless and desperate him.

"Aren't we born to live alone, and all of us can only walk with us for a while, some early and some late. As long as we can cherish the time we spend with them when they are by our side, then this period of companionship will be in vain, even if they are gone, the living people will be blessed! Your mother, she has always been there, you see the stars in the sky, there is one of them, she has been protecting you!"

Yao Zhixia looked at the starry sky outside the entrance of the cave, thinking that the star that guarded her should have been extinguished long ago! This gray ten years had long since wiped out all her hopes, and thinking about the word "happiness" seemed to be a bit extravagant to her.

But Xue Rin is different, people who have never been down to the dust, even if they encounter danger, they will save the day, she prayed and believed like this.

Xue Rin looked at Yao Zhixia's eyes, and felt that the starlight in the sky seemed to be reflected in her eyes, half bright, half sad, and the scar on the wrist suddenly appeared in her mind.

He and she were originally people living on opposite ends of the world, but under the stars, the world seemed to be left with only a small cave on this isolated island, and he and she were like two hedgehogs warming each other, they could get close to each other, but they were forever separated by an insurmountable distance.

Liu Piaopiao, who stayed in the search and rescue command center until late at night yesterday, has been working in the supermarket today, and his colleagues have all known about Yao Zhixia, and the working atmosphere has become heavy, no one dares to say anything more comforting, because everyone also knows that the shipwreck, this kind of disaster with a high probability of death, how can anyone be rescued alive?

Finally got off work, Liu Piaopiao went to the locker room to change clothes, and when she packed up her things, she saw the "Tally Clerk Yao Zhixia" written on the cabinet label next to her wardrobe, and her eyes were sour again.

Liu Piaopiao stood at the elevator door dejectedly, ready to take the subway through the exit on the second basement floor.

The elevator door slowly opened, Liu Piaopiao looked up, and was surprised to see Gong Yan standing alone inside, Gong Yan who saw Liu Piaopiao was obviously also surprised, the two looked at each other for a long time, seeing that the door was about to close again, Gong Yan quickly stretched out a hand, blocked the elevator door, endured the slight impact of the elevator door and said to Liu Piaopiao: "Aren't you coming in?"

"O'O, I'll come in. Liu Piaopiao reacted, hurriedly ran to the elevator, and casually pressed the button on the second basement floor.

"You, what, you wouldn't have come to me on purpose, would you?"

Liu Piaopiao felt that two people who were still strangers could meet a second time? It could only be that he calculated that she would get off work at this time according to the time and place of their first meeting, and then came to the supermarket to look for her again.

"I'm looking for you, I'm ......"

Gong Yan was asked with a confused face, he just got off work as usual and went to the underground parking garage to pick up the car, and he was surprised to meet Liu Piaopiao.

"Mr. Gong, although you helped me out of the siege and took care of me a lot in Sister Zhixia's affairs, I just want Sister Zhixia to come back as soon as possible now, and I don't have the heart to think about anything else. ”

According to Liu Piaopiao's experience in watching idol dramas for many years, a man who takes the initiative to come to him must have some special thoughts about himself, although Gong Yan is a talented person and a person who is honest and kind, but Liu Piaopiao really doesn't want to make things complicated now.

As soon as Gong Yan heard this, he instantly understood Liu Piaopiao's misunderstanding, and replied angrily: "Miss Liu Piaopiao, my name is Gong Yan, I am the director of the sales department of this shopping mall, I have been working here for a year, every day after work, I will take this elevator to the garage on the third floor of the basement to pick up the car and go home, hey, you have arrived, don't you go down?"

Gong Yan maliciously reminded Liu Piaopiao that the second basement floor had arrived.

At this time, Liu Piaopiao was embarrassed and wanted to walk out, but he always felt that it was really embarrassing to walk like this, so he said to Gong Yan with a smirk: "I, I pressed the wrong button, I also have to go to the third floor underground, hehe." ”

Gong Yan raised her eyebrows, not wanting to directly expose her lies, but with a mentality of watching a play, wanting to see if the hard-working actress in front of her could win the best female pig's feet.

When the elevator reached the third basement floor, Gong Yan stepped down from the elevator and walked towards his car in a chic manner, while Liu Piaopiao squeezed his eyebrows in the back, got out of the elevator slowly, and followed Gong Yan at a distance.

As soon as Gong Yan heard the footsteps, he knew that the awkward woman was sticking to him like a fart, and he couldn't help but smile proudly.

Hmph! Self-righteous woman, overturned!

Liu Piaopiao was looking down and thinking about how to get out of the current predicament, but suddenly bumped into Gong Yan, who braked sharply and turned around.

"Oh, Miss Liu, are you still here? I thought you drove away!" Gong Yanming knew that Liu Piaopiao didn't have a car, but he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Ah, I, I'm ......" Liu Piaopiao was embarrassed and stammered in shame.

"Isn't it that you're waiting for your boyfriend to pick you up?

Gong Yan saw that the stupid girl in front of him began to make trouble again, and his mind to bully her became even more energetic.

Liu Piaopiao looked as if her mouth was suddenly sealed, pursed her lips and watched Gong Yan take out the car key and open the car door.

Seeing that he was about to drive away, Liu Piaopiao mustered up the courage and shouted: "I'm sorry! Mr. Gong! I misunderstood you! It's all my recklessness, my ignorance, my own feelings, you have a lot of adults, please forgive me!"

Gong Yan stared at the girl who was looking at him with pleading eyes, and said lightly: "Get in the car." ”

Seeing that Gong Yan had eased his attitude, Liu Piaopiao immediately sat on the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and obediently put his legs together obediently, waiting for Gong Yan to speak.

But after waiting for a long time, Gong Yan just started the car quietly and didn't say a word.

Liu Piaopiao couldn't sit still, and hesitated to speak: "Gong ......"

"Can you please stop calling me Mr. Gong? I'm not a scholar, and I look very old. Gong Yan interrupted her in disgust.

Liu Piaopiao thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Director Gong?"

"Do you also work in a shopping mall? Last time, I thought you were just a customer, and I haven't seen you at work. ”

"I work in our supermarket, as an assistant to the manager of the sales department, I have been working here for almost two years, the reason why you haven't seen me is because I have never participated in the department head meeting, by the way, Sister Zhixia also works in the supermarket!"

Liu Piaopiao, who felt a little relaxed because of Gong Yan's forgiveness, lowered her voice as soon as she mentioned "Yao Zhixia".

"You check the navigation of the search and rescue command center for me. ”

Gong Yan noticed Liu Piaopiao's emotion, but he didn't want to amplify it, so he unlocked his phone and handed it to her, asking her to divert her attention.

Liu Piaopiao took the phone, entered the address, turned on the navigation, and saw that Gong Yan was inconvenient to drive, so she bent down to put the phone on the stand, but because the seat was too low, as soon as she stretched the seat belt, she lost the support point under her feet, causing her to be unable to safely put the phone in the bracket with both hands.

Gong Yan, who was originally concentrating on driving, caught a glimpse of the person next to him as if he was stuck, so he immediately stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.

"What are you doing?" Gong Yan tilted his head and looked at Liu Piaopiao, who was still struggling with the seatbelt.

"I, look, you this, seat belt, I can't reach it. Liu Piaopiao said, still trying hard.

Gong Yan frowned, he couldn't bear to look directly at Liu Piaopiao's actions at this time, he pulled the phone out of Liu Piaopiao's hand, and stuck it in the bracket with a "click".

Liu Piaopiao retracted her hand in embarrassment, rubbing it back and forth on her leg.

Gong Yan restarted the car, and when he saw that the people around him didn't speak, he took the initiative to speak: "Did the search and rescue team notify you today?"

"No, I haven't received any message. Liu Piaopiao bit her lip in frustration.

"Uncle Xue, Aunt Qi, and my parents have been waiting for news from the search and rescue command center today, I'm going to go now, are you with me?"

Liu Piaopiao nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Director Gong." ”

"There's nothing to thank, it's all about receiving blows, and one more person to go, you may feel psychologically that one more person will share this pain. Gong Yan said in a low voice.
