Chapter 64: Love is Priceless
That night, I still went back to the cave after sunset to rest as usual, but I wonder if Li Shanshan and Su Jin realized that my trip was probably gone. None of them wanted to sleep.
"Haidong, it's good that we'll wait here. Now there is no shortage of food, and Shanshan and I will do a lot of work, and the three of us will always wait until someone finds out about us. Su Jin said tentatively.
"Yes, Brother Haidong, our cave is well hidden. Even if someone comes, they may not be able to find us. But if you go out, you're likely to leak us! Li Shanshan also took the opportunity to echo and said.
"Hehe, you're all right. I smiled perfunctorily, knowing that none of them wanted me to take any risks.
"Did you promise us not to go to that island?" When Li Shanshan saw me say this, she grabbed me, put her face in front of me, and asked earnestly.
"Shanshan, there are people on that island, I'm just going to check the situation, what if it's someone from the company? We're so close, wouldn't we miss it?" I said deliberately lightly.
"What if not?" Li Shanshan grabbed my hand and shook it, "You say, what if not?"
"If not, I'm going to figure out who's on the island too. In case there were locals living on that island, we could ask him to call the police for us and get us out. "I mean it.
"But what if the robbers are on the island? Haidong, I think it's better for you not to take risks. Even if the island is from our company, after so long, they will definitely be able to survive, not worse than these few days. Su Jin gritted her teeth, but still made up her mind to say.
Previously, she was very worried about the rest of the company, and often looked at the islands, hoping to get some clues. But when the time came, she still put my safety first.
"Okay, I'll think about it again. I knew that if the words died, they might not be able to sleep all night, so I muttered and lay down in kimono.
Li Shanshan also lay beside me, holding my arm tightly and refusing to let go, as if she was afraid that I would run away as soon as I let go.
Su Jin let out a long sigh and lay down too, tossing and turning without knowing what to think.
I'm going to wake up early tomorrow, so close my eyes and try not to think about anything else. I slept in a daze until the light of day.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Li Shanshan sleeping soundly with my arm in her arms, and Su Jin was also leaning sideways to me and breathing evenly.
Looking at their sweet sleeping positions, I really couldn't bear to leave.
"Just hide on this island and guard them both!" For a moment, I really shook my mind.
But outside the cave, the bleating of goats reminded me that even if we didn't go to them, the people on the opposite island might have come to this island. Moreover, it is likely that the robbers will be in accomplices.
I can't leave anything to chance.
Thinking of this, I gently took Li Shanshan's hand, touched the shark knife and put it on my body, and quietly crawled down the cave.
When I walked to the place where the goats were lying on their stomachs, I paused, added a few pieces of firewood to the fire, took off my jacket, folded it and put it where Su Jin and the others could see it.
I'm going to wear only that green raincoat, we don't have much to live on, and if I don't come back, my t-shirt will keep them both out of the cold.
"Stay here and don't go back!" I said to the goat, then picked up my spear and strode toward the waterway.
"Haidong—" Just as I walked out of the woods and thought of the other side of the island along the beach, Su Jin suddenly chased after me from behind.
Due to the hurry of coming out, she was only wearing a light shirt, and she didn't even wear shoes under her feet.
"Mr. Su, I'll go out for a walk and I'll be back in a while. "I saw her shivering in the sea breeze, and my heart was saddened.
"Haidong, put this on. Su Jin hurriedly took off a necklace with a red thread tied around her neck, which was a talisman she deliberately asked for in a temple after we arrived in Southeast Asia. It's not worth much, but it's significant.
"Mr. Su, you keep it!" I was a little clumsy and wanted to refuse, but Su Jin reached out and put it on for me carefully.
"Be careful, Shanshan and I are waiting for you to come back!" she looked at me sadly, and barely pursed her lips and chuckled at me.
Looking at her face blackened by the sea breeze and her deep and melancholy eyes, I can't say anything in my heart, I only know that I will fulfill my promise and protect her well!
