There were also small hills in the center of the island, but there were too many poisonous snakes and insects there. Unless a small team of more than ten people dared to live in a cave, it would be difficult to keep watch with only one or two people.
Moreover, every cave was a living target, and there was no way to escape if they were targeted.
Lou Zilingâs mission was to protect Jing Xi, so he chose the most conservative and safest place.
He was not in the mood to discuss his intelligence with Jing Xi. He was just thinking about how to not expose their location.
However, the more Lou Ziling stayed silent, the more Jing Xi wanted to talk to him. She had always been a lively person, and it was not easy for her to meet someone who could talk. She shrank to his side and kept asking him in a low voice.
âHow old are you?â
âWhere did you go to school? Youâre not a military school student, are you?â
âIâve already eaten the jerky, what are you going to eat? Do you eat tree bark?â
âI kissed you when we were young. Donât you remember?â he asked.
âIâm feeling a little cold, how about you hug me?â
â¦â¦
Lou Ziling didnât stop her, but neither did he answer her.
Before he came, he had done a lot of homework about Jing Xi. He knew that she was lively by nature, even a little arrogant.
Lou Ziling remembered the first time they had met when she was eight years old. He was confident that he could win Jing Xiâs favor.
As long as he could find the right way, Jing Xi would not be difficult to get along with.
Lou Ziling was not good at dealing with people, and he hated dealing with people. Fortunately, Jing Xi was a talkative person, and her mind could jump a lot. He didnât need to waste his effort to say anything to please her.
Moreover, she was too smart and could easily see through his lies.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The best way was to remain silent.
In the second half of the night, Jing Xi was very tired and she was not feeling well. She finally stopped talking and fell asleep on Lou Zilingâs body.
In the dark, Lou Ziling couldnât see Jing Xiâs face clearly, but she was sensitive enough to notice that her body was a little hot.
He immediately reached out to touch her forehead.
What he touched was a piece of delicate, smooth, and astonishingly hot air.
She had a fever!
Lou Ziling finally realized that Jing Xi was not joking when she said she was cold and wanted him to hug her. She was really cold!
Lou Ziling immediately hugged Jing Xi and patted her face.ââJing Xi! Wake up! Jing Xi!â
Jing Xi felt uncomfortable all over. She leaned on Lou Ziling and felt warm. She called him in a daze,ââMom, my stomach hurts â¦â
Lou Ziling hugged her and felt helpless.
After much thought, he decided that Jing Xiâs life was more important. He didnât hesitate for long and quickly sent out a distress signal.
The helicopter landed above them. Lou Ziling carried Jing Xi into the cabin.
Jing Xi felt like she had been asleep for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in her own room.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up abruptly. Where was the tropical forest? What about the island?
Shangguan ning pushed the door open and ran to her daughter in surprise and joy when she saw that she was awake.âXixi, you scared me to death! Iâve been sleeping for two days, and Iâm finally awake!â
Her motherâs arms were warm, soft, and fragrant. Jing Xi had loved them since she was a child.
She hugged Shangguan ningâs waist and said,âMom, Iâm not dreaming, right? I donât even know when I went home! I missed you so much!â
Hearing her daughterâs hoarse voice, Shangguan ning burst into tears.âI miss you too. I miss you every day, but your father wonât let me go see you. Iâve ignored him for a few days!â
Shangguan ning had flown abroad to visit Jing Xi almost every week when Jing Xi had been attending training and studying. She couldnât stand it when she hadnât seen Jing Xi for almost two months.
When Shangguan ning saw her daughter in a coma, she got both angry and worried, which was why Jing Yichen was in trouble.
Jing Xi snuggled in Shangguan ningâs arms and listened to her gentle voice. She finally felt that it was real. She chuckled and said, âItâs great to be home! But you canât blame dad for this. I decided on the training myself. He sent a few people to protect me!â
As a mother, she always cared for her child and couldnât bear to see her child fall sick. Shangguan ning loved Jing Xi very much. Jing Xi had never fallen sick since she was a child. Even when she was caught in the rain, she rarely caught a cold or a fever. She had always been in good health.
âAre you stupid? Why didnât she hurry home when she was on her period? Besides, this is your first time here. How can you not have someone to take care of you?â
Shangguan ningâs mother had passed away when she was young. When she had her period for the first time, she had been scared to death. No one had taught her those things at that time. Later, the helper at home had told her some common sense and she had gradually gotten rid of her fear.
That was why she had taught Jing Xi a long time ago, just in case she would be scared when her period came one day.
However, she had never expected that her daughter would have her first period when she was training on the island.
Shangguan ning hoped that she could stay by her daughterâs side during this special time, take care of her and give her the warmest motherly love.
This was a sign that a girl had grown up. But the one accompanying her daughter was someone else, a boy. Shangguan ning felt both sorry and regretful.
Fortunately, Lou Ziling had sent out a distress signal at once, or Jing Xiâs fever would have been worse.
Shangguan ning nagged at her daughter and told her sternly that she was not allowed to be in the rain or cold water when she had her period in the future. She also told her daughter not to participate in any training.
Jing Xi didnât mind her nagging at all. She leaned on Shangguan ning and said with a smile,âAlright, I know. Donât worry, mom!â
As they were talking, Jing Yichen walked in. Seeing the mother and daughter in each otherâs arms, he smiled and said,âI told you Xixi was fine, but you didnât believe me. Now that sheâs awake, you can talk to me, right?â
Shangguan ning ignored him completely. She held Jing Xi in her arms and combed her hair.
Jing Xi blinked at Jing Yichen and said,ââDad, mom just said she missed you! Did you hear what she said, so you came to see me?â
Shangguan ning couldnât help but Pat her daughterâs back. âDonât talk nonsense. He sent my daughter away. I donât miss him!â
Jing Yichen came forward with a smile and took his wife and daughter into his arms. He said in a low voice, âItâs my fault this time. I neglected Xixiâs physical condition. I wonât do it again! Itâs up to the two of you to decide if sheâs going to train or not, okay?â
âAre you serious?â Shangguan ning turned to him immediately.
Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Jing Yichen said with a smile,âReally? when have I ever lied to you?â
âAlright, cancel all of Xixiâs dangerous activities. Sheâs a girl. Whatâs the point of learning those things?â
Before Jing Yichen could say anything, Jing Xi said,âNo, mom, I donât agree!â
