Chapter 811: Settling In
Bai Qinghao retrieved the largest crab and placed it on two large leaves. He then opened the shell and removed all the meat, handing it over to Fang Xinxin.
Fang Xinxin did not stand on ceremony and immediately accepted it. She bit down on the crab’s meat. “It’s so good! I’m so happy! After so many days of eating raw food, we can finally have cooked food!”
Bai Qinghao’s heart rippled.
This was his wife. After drifting through the ocean for so many days and finally finding land, a simple meal of cooked food alone left her this satisfied.
She wasn’t interested in wealth. She was stunningly beautiful with an amazing figure. She had special abilities and was a star student from a famous school. She was even a world famous designer and was worth billions…
He knew all her strong points by heart. His eyes were filled with love as he watched her. “Eat slowly. Be careful not to burn yourself.”
“En.” She nodded., “Hubby, you have to eat too. It’s really good!”
He nodded.
The barbequed crab meat was very fragrant and sweet. Although it was a little dry and could not be compared to steamed or boiled crabs, to the two of them, cooked food was unbelievably delicious right now!
The two of them ate a large pile of barbequed sea crabs just like that.
Thankfully, the crab meat itself contained some moisture and it was alright for them not to drink any water.
After finishing their meal, they sat by the fire and chatted idly. Every so often, they would add some wood into the fire pit.
They discussed their current circumstance; it had been eleven days. The Bai family’s people had yet to find them.
They were certain that the Bai family’s people were searching for them. However, they could only rely on boats and airplanes. If they did not know their exact location and had failed to find them within hours of the accident, or if they had searched in the wrong direction, their rescue efforts would most likely be futile.
Furthermore, the two of them had drifted for ten days before finally locating land.
Looking for them was akin to searching for a needle in the haystack.
Several years ago, when an airplane had exploded and landed in the ocean, despite the efforts of several countries, the plane’s remains were never located.
Simply put, it was nearly impossible for the two of them to be rescued.
Based on their observations, this island appeared to be uninhabited.
They could only pray that a boat or a fisherman would pass by and help them.
Hopefully, a boat would appear soon…
Fang Xinxin prayed internally.
Both of them had drifted for many days and suffered a lot of surface wounds. They needed to recover properly.
Furthermore, the hunger and thirst they had been enduring, as well as Bai Qinghao’s wounds, left them extremely weak.
It hadn’t been easy for them to find land.
They decided to remain here temporarily for a few days until their bodies recovered.
On this night, they had a firepit keeping them warm and a comfortable shed to sleep in. The hill behind them blocked off the cold sea breeze.
They did not feel cold.
Their surroundings were quiet and dark. If it wasn’t for the fire, they would struggle to even see their own fingers.
Perhaps it was because they were with the person they loved. They both felt very content and were not lonely in the slightest.
At around 10:00 p.m., Bai Qinghao headed out of the shed.
Fang Xinxin was nervous as she asked. “Hubby, where are you going?”
It was pitch black outside. It would be extremely dangerous if he met with a venomous snake or a poisonous insect in the forest.
“I’ll be right back.” Bai Qinghao’s figure disappeared into the dark.
Around ten minutes later, he returned with a large pile of dried grass. “I found this in the morning when I was building the shed. I was too busy to bring it back at the time, but I think we can use it now..”
