Chapter 8: Xingqing Island Anchor Diary 3
"ah!"
"careful!"
My scream and Lin Tong's anxious voice rang out at the same time. After a feeling of weightlessness, I was steadily caught by a pair of strong arms.
Fortunately, nothing happened...
"I was scared to death." After Zeng Chen put me on the ground, I covered my pounding chest and breathed heavily.
"Are you okay?" Lin Tong immediately ran over to support me.
Mi Lu climbed down from the tree with a smile on her face. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Zeng Chen walked up to her and said in a cold voice, "Mi Lu, you've gone too far this time."
In addition to Mi Lu, Lin Tong and I were also stunned by his voice. The cold feeling penetrated into our hearts and made us shudder.
"Didn't I tell you not to play tricks in front of me?" He stared at Mi Lu expressionlessly. The aura emanating from his body made Mi Lu tremble. She seemed to be frightened. Her expression was dull and she didn't dare to say a word for a long time.
"If anything happens to Yuan Wan, I guarantee you won't have an easy time either." Zeng Chen seemed to be giving her an ultimatum, "You'd better remember what I told you ."
After that, Zeng Chen pulled me deeper into the woods. It was the first time I saw him get angry, and I didn't dare to say a word the whole way, fearing that I would step on his minefield again.
He must have been so angry with Mi Lu because of me.
Thinking of this, I feel a sweet feeling in my heart.
The sky gradually darkened and the weather suddenly changed. As we walked, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the sky, followed by a loud "boom", and bean-sized raindrops hit the fine sand without our being prepared.
"Run into the cave quickly." Zeng Chen took off his coat and covered my head with it, protecting me all the way to the cave not far away, and he himself was almost soaked.
"It should just be a shower." He looked at the heavy rain outside the cave, "It will stop soon."
I turned my head and secretly looked at Zeng Chen. The expression on his face had returned to calm and his eyes had softened. A few strands of his hair were wet by the rain and stuck to his smooth forehead. A few drops of water fell down his angular cheeks to the ground, creating small flowers.
"You helped me again just now." Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone, I had to thank him properly.
"And then? Are you going to thank me again?" He looked at me and said, "The greatest sincerity is to pledge your love to me. How about you..."
As he spoke, he leaned down and slowly approached me.
I subconsciously took a big step back and then reached out to cover his cheek.
"Don't learn from Lin Tong, you're so smooth-talking!"
Zeng Chen 's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something. Before my face started to feel hot, I quickly turned around and walked into the cave.
This is a man-made cave, with smooth stone walls and wide stone steps underfoot. However, when I walked to the deepest part, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
"firefly!"
I didn't expect that there were so many fireflies living in this cave. They were clinging to the walls of the cave, twinkling, as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." I couldn't help but exclaim.
Maybe it was because my voice was too loud, the startled fireflies instantly scattered in the cave, and the fireflies danced around, which was a beautiful sight.
"Look, there are words on the stone wall! " I followed the fireflies and made an unexpected discovery.
I approached the stone wall and squinted my eyes to study the words on it: "As long as lovers hold hands tightly and make a wish together in the firefly cave, your wish will come true."
As soon as I finished speaking, Zeng Chen, who had walked up to me at some point, suddenly held my hands.
"Why are you pulling me?" I looked at him puzzledly, "It says couple..."
"Shh..." He frowned and told me not to make any sound. "I'll count to 3, and we'll say our wishes together. 1, 2, 3!"
"I hope Xiao Nuo gets well soon!" I listened to him obediently. I didn't expect that we were so in sync and made the same wish.
We smiled at each other and saw warmth in each other's eyes.
If only the wish could come true...
I was praying silently in my heart. Suddenly, Zeng Chen's gaze passed over me and looked behind me. He frowned and his eyes became sharp.
"What is that?" He pointed behind me and walked over. I turned my head and saw a glowing cross sign, and underneath it, a small red box was lying quietly.
"Could this be the treasure chest we are looking for?" I opened the box doubtfully, and sure enough, there were two beautiful dresses neatly arranged inside.
"Hahaha... so lucky!"
In an instant, the fireflies in the sky seemed to turn into bright sunshine, shining into my heart and making me extremely happy.
Zeng Chen is really my lucky patron saint!
After the rain stopped, I returned to the villa. In a rare good mood, I ignored Mi Lu's ugly face when she discovered that I had found the treasure chest, and went straight back to sleep.
At 6:30 the next morning, I was awakened by the sound of the ship landing on the island. I got up and walked to the window, drew back the curtains, opened the window, and the sea breeze with the salty smell of the sea water rushed towards me, making my messy hair even more messy.
I looked into the distance. The rising sun was hanging where the sea and the sky met. The clouds were dyed with layers of gradient colors by the orange-red morning glow.
I withdrew my gaze from a distance, and suddenly, I was attracted by a box half buried in the sand on the beach.
"Huh?" I rubbed my eyes.
Isn't this my suitcase and the treasure chest I found yesterday?
A bad premonition came over me, and the next second, I rushed out the door and ran to the beach. I saw that the box was already empty. Looking at the sea, I saw some familiar "garbage" floating not far away. Wasn't it the dress in the box?
Oh my god, I have to shoot a promotional poster later. How can I do it without these clothes?
Who is so wicked? There are only a few people on this island, and Mi Lu is the most likely suspect! Yes, she must have done it! I can't take pictures, so she won without a fight, right?
"Milu, come out!" I carried the box back to the villa and then banged on Milu's door so hard that the whole building seemed to shake.
"What are you doing? So early in the morning." Mi Lu lazily lay by the door, stretching.
Zeng Chen and Lin Tong were also woken up by me and came over from their respective rooms.
"What's going on? Explain it to me!" I pointed at the empty box angrily and glared at Mi Lu. "You threw away my dress just to win the competition. Isn't that too wicked?"
"Haha." Mi Lu snorted coldly, "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Besides, do you have any evidence to prove that I did this?"
She actually acted stupid, it pissed me off!
"You..." I was so angry that I was speechless, but I really had no evidence.
"Wait until you find evidence before you come and accuse me." Mi Lu rolled her eyes and slammed the door shut.
"What should I do? What should I do?" I walked downstairs depressed and collapsed on the sofa weakly.
