...............

In the bathroom, there was a lot of steam.

The hot water made the bodies of both of them stiff a little, and finally eased a little.

Xia Nianxi hugged him, her little hands were clenched tightly, and she refused to let go.

Rong Xiu cared about the little girl's body, didn't want to be too ruthless, pinched her waist and gently grinded, and tasted it.

He can ask for it himself later, he just wants to help her satisfy her cravings.

But Xia Nianxi was really frightened, and tonight was extremely abrasive, hugging his neck and pressing down continuously, twisting him one by one.

The pale little face finally slowly became a little flushed, the small mouth was slightly open, and the big eyes like a fawn were full of misty and innocent, but they were very persistent and refused to let go.

After a while, she suddenly snorted softly, her arms went soft, and her little face lay on his chest, gasping softly, exhaling all the heat into his chest, like a scorching little fire......

Rong Xiu was grinding like crazy by her, but he couldn't continue.

He reached for the towel next to him, trying to pick her up and go back to the bedroom.

But she was suddenly frightened, and her hands clasped the edge of the barrel and refused to let go, and her legs were welded to his waist like a knot.

Rong Xiu exhaled slowly, suppressed his impulsiveness, and gently pulled her hand away.

Who knew that this move made her almost cry, and she was even more frightened: "Dream...... Are you waking up from a dream? ”

The tears on the little face dripped into his heart like sulfuric acid, Rong Xiu's heart softened, and he didn't pull her anymore, he lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face, "Not yet, you can do it for as long as you want......"

"Oh......" Xia Nianxi replied sullenly, the water vapor blurred his outline, she reached out as if she was awake from a dream, and her soft fingertips gently stroked his beautiful facial features.

Inch by inch, it finally stopped at his thick eyebrows, "Why are you frowning?" Is it also because the sea is too salty? ”

Rong Xiu's heart was twitched, but her eyebrows slowly stretched under her caressing, and the expression on her face gradually softened.

He didn't speak, just lowered his head and continued to kiss her, stretched out a hand to hold her face, and sucked her lips tenderly and lovingly.

didn't speak, didn't interrupt her dreams, just transferred the heat in his lips to her slowly, little by little, so that she could perceive and perceive......

Xia Nianxi's small mouth opened slightly, and a hot current slid in along the tip of his tongue, and her body trembled, desperate to keep that warmth.

Wrapped around him so hard that he sucked and sucked, almost biting his lip flap.

In the end, he whimpered and cried, "It's still cold, it's really cold......"

Hot water soaked them, and there was a warm bath bomb above their heads, but only his body temperature could make her feel at ease......

She rubbed so hard that Rong Xiuzhi was almost thrown into the sea, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up with her and pressed her to the other end of the barrel.

The familiar and reassuring heat finally filled her again......

Xia Nianxi gasped softly, not daring to close his eyes, and kept looking at him with wet eyes, afraid that he would disappear......

Rong Xiu leaned over, and with every sprint, she could see her own reflection under her eyes.

It's just him, it's all him......

He spiraled out of control and made a splash......

In the end, Xia Nianxi's whole body was out of strength, he was held in his arms, and Rong Xiu added some hot water to the barrel, and he hugged her from behind.

She leaned against his chest, her body was warm, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and finally felt that the terrible sound of the waves was no longer in her ears.

The two of them were quiet, breathing intertwined, and leaned quietly like this.

There wasn't even a glimmer of starlight outside the window, no lights were turned on in the bathroom, and in the darkness, it was as if only the two of them were left under the entire sky.

It's like...... Really in the next moment, you can rely on each other for a long time......

"Rong Xiu ......"

After a long, long time, Xia Nianxi's murmur sounded softly.

"Huh?" His voice is also very soft.

"Can I add a little starlight to my dreams?" She asked cautiously.

"Yes, you can add as much as you want......"

She was immediately happy and smiled like a child...... Originally, she was still a child.

Xia Nianxi raised her head and looked out of the dark window, the smile on her face was pure and clean, "You don't need too much...... A star...... It's just fine......"

A little starlight, it's fine.

She was never greedy, because her wishes never came true from a young age.

So don't dare to be greedy......

"One, is it enough?" He hugged her tighter and asked softly.

Xia Nianxi nodded slightly reverently, silently, "Enough ......"

A grain of starlight, tired in the endless dark night, is the only greed she has had since she grew so old.

"Okay, then add one. When you remember, you can continue to add, no matter how many stars you have in your dream, it's okay. ”

Xia Nianxi's mouth opened slightly, and when she heard such a promise, she couldn't believe it as if she had won the jackpot.

Then he pondered his words carefully, and sighed contentedly, "You are so good......

She said.

Rong Xiu didn't speak, looked down at her, reached out and gently ran his fingertips through her hair scattered in the water.

The green silk wrapped around his fingers, like a sigh, invisibly burrowed into the tip of his heart.

She usually behaves like a little wild cat, pretending to be so greedy for money and doesn't seem to care about anything, as if she can really be invincible in the world.

But even such a humble wish can only be said in dreams.

Emotionally, I don't dare to ask too much.

This is his little girl......

He thought weakly, why can't you be a little more greedy?

If you're a little greedy, say you want the whole starry sky...... Maybe my heart ...... It's not going to hurt like you are now, and you can't wait to hold the whole world in front of you......

Xia Nianxi nestled in his arms and slowly closed his eyes again.

The whole bathroom was already in shambles, and Rong Xiu sent her back to the bed before coming over to clean up.

Afraid that she would slip and fall when she got up unintentionally, he even carefully wiped the corner of the bathroom and didn't let go of a single place.

By the time they came out again, the sky had already revealed a hint of white.

He went back to the bed, reached out and fished the little girl back and wanted to sleep with her in his arms, but as soon as he touched her, he noticed that something was wrong-

She didn't sweat at all, but her whole body was hot.

Rong Xiu's heart sank, he got up and opened the window in the room, ventilated as much as possible, and then brought a hot towel and put it on her forehead.

No matter what time it was, he went out directly and called Bai Yexiao.

Everyone was worried about Xia Nianxi, everyone stayed up until dawn and barely fell asleep, and they all woke up again because of this movement.

They each came to Xia Nianxi's room in their nightgowns.

Bai Yexiao had already taken her temperature and prescribed medicine.

Rong Xiu sat on the edge of the bed, holding the tube hanging the drip in his hand, and didn't look at the others.

Meng Yao's eyes were sharp, and he found the strawberry-colored kiss marks on Xia Nianxi's thin white neck, and immediately became angry, and walked towards Rong Xiu, "Beast ......"

It's all this kind of body, and it can withstand that kind of thing?! It's no wonder if you don't have a fever!

Bai Yexiao happened to be standing between the two of them, and stretched out his hand to block Meng Yao, "Don't go over." ”

Xia Nianxi has a fever, and air is needed in the room, so of course the fewer people the better.

Meng Yao thought he was helping Rong Xiu, so he stomped his feet angrily, and couldn't help but scold him, "You are not even as good as a beast!" ”

Bai Yexiao: "......"

"You all go out, I'll call you again if there's something." Rong Xiu opened his mouth in a deep voice.

Mu Wenjing pulled Ji Qianli, Luo Junqian pulled Gu Feiyan, Mu Yuchen followed behind them, and went downstairs with Meng Yao, who was held down by Bai Yexiao.

This time, everyone couldn't sleep, so they just sat in the living room and watched.

Meng Yao was most worried, "It's just a little bit, and I have a high fever, and I can't stand the iron beating...... I want to go up and be with her......"

"Can my brother Xiu let you into the house?" Ji Qianli was hugged by her bear before, so she still holds a grudge and can't help but want to scold her.

"Why can't it?! I'll show you now! Meng Yao rubbed to the ground.

Among all the people here, she and Xia Nianxi have known each other for the longest time and have the deepest relationship, and others can't understand it at all.

"Don't go up," Luo Junqian suppressed Gu Feiyan, who refused to sit beside him, and said lightly, "Have you ever seen Brother Xiu's eyes last night when he was looking for someone at sea, as if he could eat people...... We are all worried that if Xia Nianxi can't find it, he will jump into the sea and die......"

“…… Really? Meng Yao was skeptical.

"If you don't believe it, you can wait for Xia Nianxi to get better, stab her again, and see how Brother Xiu retaliates against you then." Ji Qianli opened his mouth quietly.

“…… Could it be that you can still rape me first and then kill me?! Meng Yao was furious, "Besides, it's impossible for me to stab Xiaoxi!" ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Ji Qianli rolled his eyes.

"Ah Xiu will definitely be able to take care of her, so don't go in for the others." Mu Yuchen spoke at the right time, "This time I came in a hurry, now there are many people and things are big, Sofia may not be busy alone." Which of you is familiar with this place? Go spend some more money, find a few people from the village to come and wait, maybe there is something to help. ”

The women were finally a little sober up by him.

Meng Yao volunteered, "I'll go, I'm familiar with this place." ”

"I'll go too." Mu Wen got quiet and went out with Meng Yao.

Gu Feiyan finally got up and went out with him.

There were only a few men left sitting on the wooden benches in the living room, and after confirming that the door had been closed, Luo Junqian glanced upstairs again, "Ye Xiao, the women are not here, you clearly said, how long will this state of the little girl of the Xia family last?" Is it possible...... Won't it be better in the future? ”

Bai Yexiao didn't show any surprise when he heard this, and even the expressions of Ji Qianli and Mu Yuchen next to him didn't change by half a minute.

We are all men, and we see certain things more thoroughly than women.

Everyone was also Rong Xiu's closest confidant, and Bai Yexiao knew that they wouldn't say it, but he just shook his head lightly and didn't say anything.

Ji Qianli was a little stunned at this time, and there was eagerness that could not be concealed in his voice: "Then how can it be done?" It's not that I don't like my sister-in-law, but Brother Xiu is the heir of the Rong family, if you keep spending so much here...... It's not a solution! ”

"This is not the most serious," Mu Yuchen's eyes also showed a look of worry.

Several people were silent again, but they all knew what was the most serious-

If Xia Nianxi's state is known to the Rong family, and Rong Xiu still insists on not giving up, no one can say what kind of chaos will be set off at that time......

They all grew up with Rong Xiu since childhood, and they know the situation of the Rong family very well, and they also know how difficult it is for him to get all the way to today.

can be Rong's family, but there are more than two people, Rong Xiu and Old Man Rong.

There are many other Rong family members who are like wolves and ready to move......

....................

The beach is still full of people, and the rescue team has not yet returned.

Rong Li was still not found.

But fortunately, the news of the small fishing village is closed, and this matter has not been spread for the time being, and there are no news sources to disturb it, and many people do not know about Rong Li's disappearance.

It's just that it can hide from the media, but it doesn't necessarily hide from the Rong family.

How long can things drag on...... It's hard for anyone to say.

The crew also went out to help find someone, and when Meng Yao and the others passed, they saw the director sitting alone in the courtyard and staying, sighing for a long time.

What did he do? After making movies for 20 years and winning numerous awards, it is pointed to the perfect ending of this "Heart of the Ocean", and after winning another round of international awards, you can completely retire and enjoy your old age.

As a result, until now, the movie has been shot once and remade.

Forget about the remake, who makes the family rich is the uncle?!

But now, the heroine's performance is extremely abnormal, the female partner fell into the sea and was just fished back, and the male protagonist disappeared inexplicably......

Are there any directors who are more carried by him? On the day I went out, I obviously went to incense and worshiped the Bodhisattva......

It's really unfavorable for the passing year, and the water is against the road......

The crew couldn't help much, Meng Yao and the others could only go around the village for half a day, and they were all treated by the locals as if they were big shots.

Even the few children who had been playing with them before hid far away.

In the end, Gu Feiyan came out and used a lot of money to find two diligent widows to help cook and do chores in the small white house.

The seaside materials are limited, and the breakfast is also made after the porridge and side dishes, and then with some dried fish and shrimp skin, the taste is average, but it is better to be clean.

Gu Feiyan and Mu Wenjing sent some upstairs together.

Rong Xiu still sat on the edge of the bed and accompanied him, as if he hadn't even changed his posture, and when he sent food in, he didn't eat or drink until Xia Nianxi whispered that he was thirsty, and he saw him move, and raised his hand to bring a small glass of water from the boiling kettle placed aside.

Waiting for the water to slowly get colder, he first tested the temperature, and then half picked up Xia Nianxi, let her lean in his arms, and fed her water little by little.

The action is considerate and thoughtful, and it does not pretend to others at all.

Gu Feiyan and Mu Wenjing watched from the side for a while, confirming that they really couldn't help much, so they put the porridge side dishes aside and went downstairs again.

Bai Yexiao locked himself in his room and began to study Lin Yun's medical records again and check the information.

The other two men each called to deal with their own company's affairs, but Ji Qianli was the only one who sat in the yard with a small horse and looked at the sky in a daze.

It's so idle that it hurts, and I can only think about life.

No one noticed that Meng Yao, who had just come back with everyone, went to the village alone.

She clutched a bag of chocolates she had brought from the city and beckoned a few little kids playing by the beach to come over, "Repeat what you said when I was there in the morning, and then this thing will be yours." ”

"What is this? It's so black that you can't eat it when you look at it! A monkey-like kid didn't believe her.

"This one is very sweet," Meng Yao grabbed a few chocolates and threw them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and then sighed at them, "Isn't it sweet?" ”

The little children's eyes lit up, and they immediately surrounded her, repeating what they had said in the morning, carefully and word for word.

After hearing this, Meng Yao gave them the chocolate, and then stood in place by himself, thoughtful.

......................

Night.

Xia Nianxi's body temperature has not been able to go down, but she has injuries on her body, Bai Yexiao suggested not to move long distances for the time being.

Rong Xiu kept by her side, repeatedly changing the towel on her forehead, constantly taking her temperature.

Occasionally she was confused, babbling, talking nonsense, and he didn't tire of answering her, and whatever she said, he followed along.

For example—

"There are so many fish on the bottom of the sea......"

"Well, a lot."

"I don't know which one is delicious, Rong Xiu, you go grab one, we'll bake it and eat it......"

"yes, okay."

"If you want the biggest, it seems to be a shark, you can catch it!"

"Well, I'll go."

The others were speechless until midnight, when they went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the past two days and two nights, everyone's physical strength is close to overdraft.

Bai Yexiao explained the dosage of medication, and once again suggested that he and Rong Xiu take shifts.

Not surprisingly, he was rejected again.

If he is not at ease with anyone else, how can he sleep?

His eyes were bloodshot, and there was stubble on his chin, he looked a little unkempt, but he was extremely persistent and serious.

Bai Yexiao knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only go to rest first, and then he didn't know what tough battles to fight, he had already contacted several medical masters he was familiar with, and he was rushing here.

I guess it will come tomorrow.

Everyone else had left, and the house was quiet again.

The mobile phone placed at the bedside rang again, and it was another high-level call from Rong's-

In the two days of the president's absence, the company was still able to operate normally, but some major decisions were not made at all, and they were also very afraid.

Rong Xiu turned a deaf ear to the vibrations, letting the screen light up and then dim again.

Finally, the phone runs out of battery and automatically shuts down.

The man on the bed writhed uneasily again, and muttered.

Rong Xiu bent down and pressed against her little face that had become flushed due to fever, "Sleep in peace, I'll be here with you, and I won't go anywhere." ”

The moon sinks in the west, and the sea breeze is still.

The whole room was quiet again, like an isolated castle.

………

Early the next morning, the expert team arrived as scheduled and entered Xia Nianxi's room for consultation.

Except for Rong Xiu and Bai Yexiao, the others were invited out again.

Several people went downstairs together and sat down at the dining table, Gu Feiyan yawned, only to realize that something was wrong, "What about Meng Yao?!" ”

When she asked, the others also looked up and looked at the empty position—

"Yes, what about Meng Yao? She's still sleeping? Ji Qian left the road.

"No way, when I came down, the door to her room was open, and the quilt on the bed was neat. The thread remained untouched. Mu Wenjing thought about it for a moment.

Gu Feiyan: "...... When was the last time we saw Meng Yao yesterday?! ”

"Yesterday? Yesterday she went with us to find someone to help, and then came back together, and then ...... "Mu Wenjing can't remember clearly."

"Did you see her again last night?!" Gu Feiyan sat up straight, and his tone became serious.

Mu Yuchen looked at Luo Junqian, and the two men shook their heads together, "I didn't see it." ”

"I didn't see it either."

“…… Go and look for it, one is already missing, and nothing can happen again. Gu Feiyan got up and walked directly out the door.

Luo Junqian followed, grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and draped it over her slender shoulders.

This time, Gu Feiyan couldn't care about rejecting her anymore.

Ji Qianli and Mu Yuchen stood up together.

Mu Yuchen turned around and pressed his shoulder, "I'm a man, I'll look for it in a group." You and Miss Mu together. Don't part until you have to. ”

"Hey-" Ji Qianli still wanted to protest.

Mu Wenjing calmly put the bowl in her hand on the table, and with a click, the bowl was broken.

Ji Qianli swallowed his saliva: "...... I mean, it's been my pleasure to be with you. ”

Mu Wenjing picked up the mobile phone on the table and threw it to him, only one word back: "Go!" ”

..................

A group of people searched everywhere in the village, but they couldn't find Meng Yao.

When I called her, I was also in a state of being temporarily unreachable.

The signal here is so bad that you want to blow up the non-existent signal tower.

They have been looking for the afternoon from the morning to the afternoon, and they are gradually approaching the dark, and they have not yet found Meng Yao.

It was as if she had disappeared into thin air, and no one knew where she had gone.

"Could it be that she will go back to the city first?" Mu Wenjing guessed.

Gu Feiyan immediately shook his head: "Impossible, she and Xiaoxi are lifelong friendships, Xiaoxi is in this state now, do you think she will leave Xiaoxi by herself?" ”

"I've also asked the people in the village, there is no transportation to leave here today, Meng Yao can't walk, right?" Luo Junqian also denied this speculation.

"And where will she go?!"

Everyone was hungry and exhausted, and decided to go back to the little white house first, and then find a way.

When they arrived in the living room, it happened that the experts came down from upstairs with Bai Yexiao.

Gu Feiyan: "Doctor Bai, has Xiaoxi's fever subsided?" ”

"Well, I just retired," Bai Yexiao said.

But everyone's expressions were not half relaxed. His instinct was wrong, and he glanced at them one by one, only to find that they all looked tired, as if they had just returned from outside.

"Where have you been?" He asked.

"Looking for someone, I searched all day but didn't find it. Meng Yao was gone. ”
