Chapter 105: Lonely Men and Widows

"Boom~" With a thunderclap that resounded through the sky, a thick lightning bolt swept over the desert island, illuminating the entire island as if it were day, the wind blew the big trees on the island to the east and west, and the seabirds perched on the trees were helplessly wailing in their nests under the power of heaven and earth.

Another flash of lightning struck, and the raindrops the size of soybeans finally fell, and in the blink of an eye, the entire earth was already drenched in a layer of water, and everything in heaven and earth struggled under the raging wind and rain. Zhou Zhong in the woods scolded at God, and struggled to hold a few bundles of firewood and threw them into the shack where he lived. Seeing that the torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhou Zhong estimated that the firewood was almost up, so he immediately went into the shack.

Now the shack has been divided into two parts by Xie Lingyun, of which she sleeps on the right, Zhou Chongsleep on the left, and in front of the partition between the two, there is a small stove made of mud, in which some small firewood is burning, this stove can not only be used to bake things, but also to warm at night.

Xie Lingyun, who was sitting inside tidying up things, saw Zhou Chong coming in wet all over, and immediately stood up to help him take off the wet clothes on his body, and said while taking them to the stove to bake: "Zhou Gongzi has worked hard, I have already made dinner, you can eat it while it's hot!" ”

"It's grilled fish again, it's really unappetizing!" Zhou Chong was only wearing small clothes, squatting by the stove and complaining, they don't have an iron pot, so these days, they eat grilled fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and occasionally eat some sea urchin or abalone and the like, in addition to wild vegetables found in the woods, but unfortunately they are all raw, which is really unappetizing.

Seeing Zhou Chong being a picky eater like a child, Xie Lingyun's somewhat haggard face showed an elegant smile, and he reached out and picked up a bamboo tube filled with water and sent it to Zhou Chong and said, "Today's grilled fish should taste good." I smeared some of the honey you got last time in the woods. How about you taste it? ”

Heard Xie Lingyun mention honey. Zhou Zhong couldn't help but touch his right cheek, where the lump hadn't completely fallen. Last time he found a nest of bees in the woods, in order to get the honey inside, he was stung a few times by several big bees in his face, and his face was swollen at that time, which made Xie Lingyun laugh for a long time.

Holding the roasted golden fish, Zhou Zhong tore off a piece of hot fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, but found that the fish really had a sweet taste. And it covered the fishy smell of the sea fish very well, which made Zhou Chong immediately have a great appetite, grabbed the grilled fish and began to chew it.

It wasn't until he ate a fish cleanly, and then drank a few sips of the water handed by Xie Lingyun, that Zhou Zhong felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach, especially when he heard the sound of the storm outside, which set off the peace in the small shack even more.

"Boom~" There was another thunderclap outside, and Xie Lingyun, who was helping Zhou Chong bake his clothes, trembled all over his body, and almost dropped the clothes in his hand into the stove. Through the faint light from the stove, Zhou Zhong found that Xie Lingyun's face was pale at this time. I couldn't help laughing at the moment: "What, Miss Xie is afraid of thunder?" ”

"Yes...... A little! Xie Lingyun's voice trembled a little. In fact, there is more than one point, she has been afraid of thunder since she was a child, and every time there is thunder, she will run to her mother, and then her mother will hold her to fall asleep.

"Hahaha~, I didn't expect Miss Xie to be scared too." Zhou Chong laughed heartlessly, but then he suddenly stopped, turned his head to Xie Lingyun and said very ambiguously, "Looking at today's appearance, it is estimated that it will take a night of thunder, if Miss Xie is really scared, she can come to sleep on my side, but I have never had any concentration, in case something happens, I will not be responsible!" ”

The originally very warm atmosphere was completely destroyed by Zhou Chong's words, only to see Xie Lingyun glaring at him fiercely after hearing this: "Don't worry about Gongzi Zhou, Lingyun's own affairs will be handled by herself, I just hope that Gongzi himself will not cross the line!" ”

When Xie Lingyun said this, the clothes in her hands were finally dry, and she threw them on Zhou Chong casually, and then returned to the left where she was sleeping and sat down, without looking at Zhou Chong again. And Zhou Zhong put on the dried clothes with a smile, and also returned to his own area to rest.

Speaking of which, they have been on this desert island for five or six days, plus the lonely man and widow are in the same room, even if it is a pair of strangers, I am afraid that something will happen, but it is very strange that Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun have been observing etiquette and have not made any out-of-the-ordinary actions, and the reason for this situation is very complicated.

Speaking of the grievances between Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun, it is very complicated and very simple, at the beginning, Xie Lingyun just wanted to use Zhou Chong to control the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but then Zhou Chong's performance was completely unexpected by her, which made her plan bankrupt, and in the relationship between the two, Xie Lingyun also irrepressibly had a little good impression of Zhou Chong, but these good feelings are not liked, just a girl's curiosity about another man with comparable talents.

But the next thing has become a little complicated, with Zhou Chong's joining, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has laid the momentum of rising, which makes the Xie family also feel a serious threat, and the best way is to get rid of Zhou Chong, although Xie Lingyun didn't want to do this, but under the strong pressure of her father, coupled with the interests of the family, she finally decided to get rid of Zhou Chong's hidden danger.

It's a pity that there are too many accidents in this world, first Shangquan Hongji held the two hostage, and then encountered the big storm, and when the cabin was in the cabin, many things happened between the two, especially at the moment of life and death, both of them threw away the disguise on their bodies, and even Xie Lingyun hugged Zhou Chong in tears and said that he didn't want him to die.

After life and death, Zhou Chong originally thought that he could get along with Xie Lingyun, and even thought about the possibility of the two of them being together, and how to deal with the conflict of interest between the two chambers of commerce in the future?

But what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that in the past few days when they got along, Xie Lingyun was very contradictory, sometimes she was very enthusiastic about Zhou Chong, and she cared about him everywhere, and even when the two had some intimate contact, she just blushed and lowered her head, and she didn't reject it much. I also try to make some different food for Zhou Chong every day, and when I am with her, Zhou Chong feels very comfortable and at ease.

However, sometimes Xie Lingyun is completely different, just like when Zhou Chong first met her, he had an indifferent and calm expression on his face, as if nothing could cause her emotional waves, although he was polite and thoughtful on the surface, but he rejected people outside of a thousand, what Zhou Chong hated the most was to see Xie Lingyun talk to himself with this expression.

It was Xie Lingyun's hot and cold attitude that made Zhou Zhong very uncomfortable, and even whenever he saw Xie Lingyun talking to himself with that calm expression, he couldn't help but want to rush up viciously, and then tear off her disguise and let the real Xie Lingyun come out to talk to him.

Of course, the above is only emotional, Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun are both in the adolescence of fifteen or sixteen years old, the two sleep in the same room every day, and there will definitely be some physiological impulses, which Zhou Chong does not deny, he has had thoughts about Xie Lingyun more than once, after all, this is a desert island, God knows if anyone will find them, and there is no legal and moral constraint here, and it is logical for something to happen to the two.

But in these days of getting along, Zhou Chong resisted the impulse of his body, in addition to the complicated feelings between the two mentioned above, there is another very important reason.

When Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun were held hostage by Shangquan Honger, only the Xie family was present, so the only people who could find them must be the Xie family, and if he wanted to get out safely, there were only two ways, the first was to let Xie Lingyun let him go willingly, and the second was to take her hostage and threaten the Xie family's people to send him to the shore. No matter which of these two paths is, they need Xie Lingyun's cooperation.

It was precisely with this in mind that Zhou Chong did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary to Xie Lingyun, and even more so did not dare to use force. After all, he didn't plan to stay on this desert island for the rest of his life, and there were Aunt Wang and Bang'er waiting for him at home, so he had to go back alive no matter what, and he definitely couldn't lose a big one because of a small one.

Thinking of Aunt Wang and Bang'er and Duo'er at home, Zhou Zhong who was lying in the thatch couldn't help but sigh, he originally wanted to spend a good year with them, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, now that the year has passed, I don't know what they will be in a hurry after they find out that they are missing?

Zhou Zhong was lying there thinking about his family, but Xie Lingyun, who was separated from him by a layer of wood, was curled up in a ball, covering his ears with both hands, his eyes were also tightly closed, and his little head was lowered fiercely, eager to bury it in his small but very upright chest.

"Boom~" With the roar of thunder outside, every time it sounded, Xie Lingyun's curled up body would tremble. For thunder, all creatures have an instinctive fear, even humans are no exception, but some people can overcome this fear, such as Zhou Chong, but some people will be extremely afraid of thunder all their lives, and it has nothing to do with gender and age, such as Xie Lingyun belongs to the latter type of people.

Listening to the continuous thunder outside, Xie Lingyun felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world, so lonely and helpless, although she told herself in her heart that those thunderbolts could not hurt her at all, but she still couldn't suppress the fear that came out of her bones.

It was this helplessness and loneliness, coupled with the boundless fear in her heart, that finally made Xie Lingyun unable to bear it anymore and began to sob. But not long after she cried, she suddenly heard Zhou Zhong knock on the partition on the other side and said, "Hey, you still don't let people sleep in the middle of the night?" If you're really scared, come here, don't hold on to it! (To be continued......)
