Chapter 26: He Mingxiao's Past
Nan Xian looked at him in shock, not knowing what to be surprised by his words.
She couldn't help but look him up and down.
He Mingxiao is more than 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and broad shoulders, and his arms, waist and abdomen are covered with a layer of strong and well-developed muscles...... She couldn't have imagined that he would be that emaciated when he was a teenager.
He Mingxiao was not surprised by her reaction, he explained: "My dad started a business in the United States in the early years, and I also studied there, because of his late growth, he was shorter than boys of the same age, and he was Asian, so he was often bullied by several school bullies.
Later, I went to participate in wilderness survival training every year, got up before dawn to exercise, carried dozens of kilograms up the mountain, and lived alone in the jungle for half a month...... When I was eighteen years old, I suddenly grew more than 20 centimeters, and no one dared to bully me since. ”
Nan Xian let out a soft "ah", a little in a trance: "You have never told me about these things." ”
He shook his head, a rare flush on the side of his face.
After a long time, he muttered in a low voice: "It's just a glorious past." ”
Nan Xian moved the palm leaf in his direction again, "No, it's not up to you to decide if you grow slowly, it's disgraceful to those who bully you with their height advantage!" And you make yourself stronger through your own efforts, which is something to be proud of, okay? ”
He Mingxiao was slightly stunned and looked up at her.
His throat rolled, as if he had something to say.
"Hey, it's on fire, it's on fire!"
Nan Xian was surprised and pointed to the pile of dead leaves that were emitting fine smoke, and cautiously approached them, blowing at them.
He Mingxiao looked at her puffing out her cheeks and blowing, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, the light in her eyes was soft and bright.
The fire was successfully lit with the cooperation of the two.
Nan Xian used the large conch shell she picked up from the sea as a pot and boiled half a hare and a few small crabs and small octopuses found from the reef.
Although there is no seasoning, because it is the result of her own sweat, Nan Xian still eats very happily.
Before you know it, it is evening, and the sea is dyed warm gold by the setting sun, and when the sea breeze blows, the warm golden veil turns into broken scales.
It's as beautiful as Monet's paintings.
Nan Xian squinted at the sea breeze, and suddenly sighed: "In the future, I will build a small house by the sea, and I don't have to think about work all day, and I will sit under the stars at night to relax." ”
He Mingxiao was sharpening chopsticks with a stone knife when he heard the words and glanced up at her.
"You can do it now."
She thought of something, the smile on her lips faded, and she muttered in a low voice: "No, I still have a lot of work to do." ”
In the ten years of her last life, she missed too much and left too many regrets.
In this life, she has to make up for it one by one.
At night, they simply scrubbed their bodies with fresh water and fell asleep in a "quilt" made of palm leaves.
Rao had thick leaves under him, and Nan Xian still felt panicked.
Outside the cave came the sounds of nocturnal animals and insects, and she stared at the fire with empty eyes, and a faint uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart.
"He Mingxiao, are you asleep?" She asked softly.
"No, what's wrong?"
"Can we be saved?"
"Of course." He's unequivocal.
"That'...... What if something happens and they don't find us? ”
He Mingxiao turned over to face her.
"Trust me, I'll protect you."
His face was illuminated by the firelight, and his eyes faded from sharpness, full of firmness and tenderness.
Nan Xian's nose was slightly sour, and she hid her face under the leaves.
"Thank you, He Mingxiao."
**
In the middle of the night, a faint cry for help suddenly sounded in the cave.
He Mingxiao opened his eyes suddenly, lifted the palm leaves, stepped over the fire, and gently lifted the leaves on Nan Xian's body.
Sure enough, she had nightmares again.
He wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, lay down on her side lightly, and took her into his arms.
She gradually stopped trembling, like a traught hatchling that had finally found its nest, and buried her head in his chest in attachment.
He Mingxiao helped her smooth her long hair, felt her gradually relax in his arms, and her breathing stabilized, and finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
And at this moment, in Nan Xian's dream-
When she was blocked in the alley by the black snake, the little black cat Nannan suddenly fell from the sky.
It emitted a brilliant golden light, and the black snake seemed to be extremely afraid of this golden light, and retreated in horror.
Nannan rushed forward with a "meow", raised his claw and turned into a huge cat's claw in the air, scratching the black snake's back fiercely.
Three bloody wounds immediately appeared on the black snake's back, and it let out a painful wail, and its body quickly shrunk, and finally turned into a small snake the size of an earthworm, and escaped through the crack in the wall.
Nan Nan raised his paws in the direction where it disappeared, and returned to Nan Xian with his tail cocked, "Mi woo Mi woo" coquettishly.
"Nannan, you're amazing! Thank you for saving me! ”
Nan Xian took it into her arms and touched it without gloves for the first time, and the smooth and soft feel made her happy.
Nannan rolled in her arms, revealing her soft belly.
Nan Xian gently massaged its belly, and it immediately made a snoring sound of satisfaction......
**
Just as the two people on the island fell asleep, the people on the other side were already confused.
The head of the He Group disappeared inexplicably, and the board of directors of the He Group continued to put pressure on the police; Representatives of Fanmeng Entertainment and Nan Xian's family also rushed to the island to ask the program team for an explanation......
On the day He Mingxiao and Nan Xian disappeared, a villager was the first to find Ding He lying in the rain.
When Ding He woke up, she told everyone everything she remembered.
Yu Lin was the first to be suspected, but his assistant and several staff members could make an alibi for him.
Nan Xian's mobile phone was found in the crack of the cliff, which was seriously damaged, and the technicians were still working hard to recover the data.
Unfortunately, all the camera equipment was turned off that day, and nothing was captured.
At the same time, the news of the disappearance of the two was spread by someone unknown.
For a time, almost all the media reported on the incident, and the island homestay was crowded with reporters from all over the country, and public opinion was even hotly discussing the matter......
Several teams in charge of the search and rescue were manned overnight after the storm stopped, and helicopters flew out one after another.
For a day and a night, the sound of helicopter propellers hovered over the entire sea.
And yet—
"Captain, I have carefully searched all the islands and ships within five hundred nautical miles of the surrounding area, and found no trace of them."
Sweating profusely, the team member reported, "The weather was very bad on the day of their disappearance, and there were many huge whirlpools on the sea, could they have ......?"
The captain stared at the map, his face gloomy and terrifying, "Keep searching, expand the scope of search!" ”
The team member sighed silently, "Yes, Captain!" ”
