Chapter 42: It Really Was Not a Dream

Tang Li didn't dare to continue to think about it, she reached out and grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it on her face, covering her head with a pillow, I don't know how long later, there was a knock outside the door that woke her up.

"Miss! Miss! Are you up? ”

A sharp and anxious male voice sounded outside the door, Tang Li's ears shook, he threw the pillow aside half-asleep, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw through the gap in the curtain that the sky outside was already dark, and the red glow reflected the whole sky, and the sky seemed to be a burning fireball.

The people outside the door had not yet left, and they were still shouting: "Miss! Come out quickly, there's a big discovery! ”

The Big Discovery? Tang Li's heart trembled, she immediately sobered up a lot, jumped up from the bed, rushed to the door and opened the door, there was a scorching apricot forest standing outside the door, he looked at Tang Li's appearance of just waking up, standing in front of him with a red face, his eyes flashed a little stunned, and then turned into joy.

"Miss! We found an unknown island in the distance, and if it went well, we would be able to land and go ashore in no time. Xinglin said excitedly to Tang Li.

"Really, Xinglin?"

Tang Li was also a little happy when he heard this, after all, they had been floating on this unknown sea for many days, and they felt very cordial about the land they were about to land for a while.

"Can I still lie to you, of course it's true, I'll show you!" Xinglin nodded solemnly.

Tang carp no longer delayed time, hurriedly followed the apricot forest to go out, just walked to the deck, a gust of sea breeze blowing, with a salty and wet taste, she urgently opened her eyes to look at the sea in front of her, the sea at this moment is sparkling, endless, and the other side of the distance can vaguely see a lush forest, the trees are luxuriant, the shadows of the trees are swaying, under the illumination of the sunset, it looks particularly beautiful.

Tang Li's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Miss Tang, you're here!"

A familiar voice sounded at the other end of the deck, Tang Li turned his head and saw that it was Chen Zhuangshi, and Shen Yanzhi was standing beside him, his face was gloomy at the moment, his eyes were full of indescribable emotions, and a trace of tenderness flashed at the moment he saw Tang Li, but it was only for a moment and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Tang Li was stunned for a moment, she coughed dryly, turned her head a little unnaturally and tried not to look at Shen Yanzhi, and said to Chen Zhuangshi: "Brother Chen, I'm not mistaken, right?" That's an island?! ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhuangshi laughed twice, then nodded, "I can guarantee that you are not mistaken, this is the first island we have encountered since we deviated from the course, and it looks rich in vegetation and vast territory, so there should be no problem with our supplies!" ”

"Yes! That's great! A bright smile appeared on Tang Li's face, she jumped twice excitedly, and then looked into the distance again, "Then can we land on the island before dark?" I'm afraid that at night, there will definitely be wild beasts or something on the island, and it will be a little dangerous. ”

Chen Zhuangshi smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, even if there are beasts, Brother Shen and I can deal with them, and we will definitely not let those beasts hurt you." Saying that, Chen Zhuangshi set his eyes on Shen Yanzhi, he touched Shen Yanzhi with his elbow, and the expression on his face had a hint of playfulness, "You said yes, Brother Shen?" ”

Shen Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he looked at Tang Li, a warm smile appeared on his face, and nodded lightly, "Don't worry, sister, I will protect you." ”

When Tang Li heard Shen Yanzhi's words, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and he was flustered in his heart, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Brother Chen, I'm a little hungry, when are we going to eat?" ”

"Eat now? Don't wait until you come ashore to eat? Chen Zhuangshi looked at Tang Li suspiciously and asked.

Hearing this, Tang Lili turned his head to look at the movements around him, at this moment the sea surface was stable, the sea water was calm, the breeze was gently blowing on the sea surface and reflecting layers of ripples, there was no shadow of demon beasts at all, everything seemed very quiet and peaceful.

"I think we'd better eat first, right? It will take a lot of effort to get ashore at that time, and it may not be until midnight to rest, so we can't let everyone work hungry, so I think it's better for us to eat first and then go ashore. ”

Chen Zhuangshi also felt quite reasonable when he heard this, and couldn't help but nodded: "Okay!" Then do as you say, Miss Tang. With that, Chen Zhuangshi left the deck, went to the inner cabin, and instructed the crew to prepare food.

Tang Li looked at Chen Zhuangshi's departing back, and was thinking about whether to follow, otherwise if she and Shen Yanzhi were only left on the deck, he didn't know how to face him, just when Tang Li hesitated, Shen Yanzhi had already bypassed Tang Carp and followed Chen Zhuangshi to the cabin, his back looked a little lonely and lonely.

Tang Li looked at Shen Yanzhi's back, bit her lip, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she felt a stuffy pain in her chest, as if she had been pinched hard, and she couldn't breathe a little.

"Miss, let's go too, it's cold up here."

Xinglin saw the look of her master next to her, and thought that she was also shivering from the sea breeze like herself, so she hurriedly pulled Tang Li's wrist and wanted to drag Tang Li into the inner cabin.

"Apricot Grove." After taking two steps, Tang Li suddenly stopped, looked at the direction of Shen Yanzhi's disappearance with misty eyes, and muttered softly.

"Huh? What's wrong? Miss, why don't you leave? Xinglin turned around and asked.

"Xinglin, I feel like my heart is so messy."

Tang Li took a deep breath and looked up at the dim sky, but her mood couldn't calm down for a long time, she didn't know why, no matter what she thought, she couldn't understand her mind, she didn't know what she was thinking about Shen Yanzhi, but when she saw Shen Yanzhi's lonely eyes, she felt so sad, as if something was blocked in her throat.

Hearing Tang Li's answer, Xinglin was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Lili to say such a thing, and he had a feeling of indescribability in his heart, but Xinglin didn't express it.

"Miss, are you feeling too tired and panicking?" Xinglin thought for a long time before he came up with a suitable reason, after all, Tang Lili had been staying on the boat recently, and his health was not very good.

"No, Xinglin, you didn't understand what I meant, I mean...." Tang Li opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but still found it a little difficult to speak.

Xinglin saw Tang Li's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, a trace of bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Miss, what happened?" You'd better tell me soon. ”

"I ......" Looking at Xinglin's concerned appearance, Tang Li hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Xinglin, what do you think Shen Yanzhi thinks of me?" Tang Li's face was crimson, and her eyes were full of girlish shyness, but her heart was nervous, and she was waiting for Xinglin's answer.

Xinglin was stunned at first, looking at Tang Li's slightly shy look, he immediately reacted to what Tang Li said, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face, he had long suspected that Shen Yanzhi had plotted against his young lady, but he had no evidence, but he didn't expect his guess to be right.

He didn't answer Tang Li's question directly, but asked rhetorically, "Miss, why do you ask like that?" Did Shen Yanzhi do something to you? ”

"Huh? What can he do to me, don't think about it, Xinglin. Hearing Xinglin mention what Shen Yanzhi had done to him, Tang Li's face changed, and he hurriedly explained.

"Then why did the young lady ask that?" Looking at Tang Li's reaction, Xinglin felt that he had guessed that he was not far from ten, but he still decided to ask clearly.

"I'm ...... I'm ......."

Tang Li was speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to answer Xinglin's words for a while, she couldn't directly tell Xinglin that Shen Yanzhi liked herself! And she hasn't figured out her mind yet, if the news of Shen Yanzhi's unrequited love for herself is spread by Xinglin's big mouth, wouldn't Shen Yanzhi be embarrassed? Therefore, the matter between her and Shen Yanzhi must not be known to anyone until she clarifies it.

"I'm just curious, curious about what Shen Yanzhi thinks of me, after all, we have lived together for so long, I have always treated him as a younger brother, but I don't know Shen Yanzhi's mind, you and he are both men, so naturally you should see it more clearly than me, so I asked you." Tang Li was in a hurry, and made up an excuse, thinking that Xinglin should not continue to pursue the problem just now.

"So that's the case, then I'll rest assured, Miss, it's really not that I'm talking too much, I'm worried about you, Shen Yan knows that kid is very good, he has to have good looks, he has to learn and learn, and his character is also very good, it's a pity that he shouldn't have this noble mind, it's better for you to stay away from him." Xing Lin shook his head and sighed, in his eyes, Shen Yan knew that a person with such a background was not worthy of his own young lady.

"Climb high? Who he climbed and who he attached to, how I don't know. Listening to Xinglin's words, Tang Li was a little ignorant, she didn't understand what Xinglin's words were all about.

"Who else, of course it's you, Miss! Don't you know that Shen Yan knows him and he likes you?! ”

Hearing Xinglin's words, Tang Li was completely dumbfounded, "What do you mean?" You already knew that Shen Yanzhi liked me? ”

"Of course, you didn't know about it?" Xinglin pouted angrily, he really convinced his own young lady, and he was secretly in love for so long without noticing.

"Of course I don't know, and you stinky boy didn't even tell me, and I've been kept in the dark!" Tang Li glared at Xinglin fiercely, and said angrily.

"I always thought you knew, Chen Zhuangshi and I thought you also liked Shen Yanzhi, if it wasn't for Chen Zhuangshi to stop me, I would have beaten that kid a long time ago, this is not enough, before boarding the ship last time, Shen Yanzhi also locked me out of the inn, he himself sneaked around in your room for most of the night I don't know what the hell is going on, I didn't hear any resistance from you, Miss, I thought you, you... Ay! How can you blame me for this? Xinglin muttered aggrievedly as he spoke.

As soon as Xinglin's words fell, Tang Li's face turned red, and he suddenly recalled the night before boarding the ship, no wonder he had the impression that someone had come when he woke up, it turned out that it was really not a dream, it was true, so he was the one who gently hugged himself to the bed and changed his clothes and boots for himself? Tang Li was in a trance, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart.
