It was getting dark, but Yao Wan still hadn't returned.

Gu Nanchen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

What was wrong with this woman? Was she planning to stay outside?

She wasn't stupid. She would come back.

Gu Nanchen felt as if two despicable people were fighting in his heart.

In the end, his worry for her won over the conflict between them.

Gu Nanchen put down his chopsticks and was about to go out to look for Yao Wan.

"I'm not eating anymore. You can eat."

However, Gu Nanxi quickly grabbed Gu Nanchen's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Please stay with me for a while longer. I missed you overseas."

Gu Nanchen had to find that woman, Yao Wan, no matter what. He couldn't let him out.

She signaled the chef beside her with her eyes. The chef immediately understood and went to the kitchen to bring out a plate of red braised pork.

"Brother, this is the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce that I specially made for you. It's your favorite. I've stewed it for a long time. Please sit down and have a taste."

When Gu Nanchen was young, his favorite food was his mother's braised pork. He looked at the braised pork in Gu Nanxi's hand and fell into a reverie.

It had been a long time since he had seen Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi picked up a piece and brought it to Gu Nanchen's mouth. "Brother, have a taste of Nanxi's cooking."

The Braised Pork with Soy Sauce that Nanxi had made was a little familiar. It was fat but not greasy. What was even more rare was that it was sweet with sugar.

It was similar to what her mother had made before.

Only his mother knew how to add sugar to the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce.

When he grew up, he had eaten all the other dishes made by others, but none of them made him feel more delicious than the sweet Braised Pork with Soy Sauce.

"Brother, do you still remember? When we were young, we fought over the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce made by my mother."

Gu Nanxi did not like to eat braised pork. It was because Gu Nanchen liked it that she pretended that she liked it too.

Of course, Gu Nanchen didn't know about this.

"Yes, I remember."

She didn't know where the woman had gone. There was no one else on the island, so she should be fine.

Gu Nanxi smiled. "It's good that you remember. I've seen many recipes for this braised pork, and I've tried them many times myself. Only then did I feel that the taste was similar to the one Mother made back then."

Gu Nanchen sat down. "Nanxi, aren't you studying abroad? How do you have the time to come here and do these things?"

Gu Nanxi had been sent abroad by Gu Nanchen a year ago to study. Gu Nanchen did not expect her to come back so suddenly.

She picked up another piece of braised pork and handed it to Gu Nanchen. "Brother, I miss you."

On the surface, she was still smiling, but in her heart, she felt a little guilty.

When she gambled in the underground bank overseas, she lost so badly that she suspected that someone had cheated. So he smashed the bank in a fit of anger. In the end, he angered the shareholders behind the bank, and he was hunted down overseas again and again.

If he did not return to the country to seek Gu Nanchen's protection, he did not know what would happen to him.

However...

Geng Xin had only said that the resort was a new project that Gu Nanchen had invested in, and that he was coming for a vacation. He didn't say that he was taking Yao Wan with him.

He had ruined her carefully prepared vacation.

Thinking of this, Gu Nanxi couldn't wait to kill Yao Wan.

At this time, by the beach.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the tide was slowly rising.

The cold sea water soaked Yao Wan's dress.

Yao Wan sneezed as her wet dress clung to her body. She slowly woke up.

It was so cold.

Where was this place?

She got up from the beach. There was no one around. The footprints she had left on the beach when she came had already been submerged in the tide.

Did Gu Nanchen not notice that she had disappeared?

Sure enough, as long as Gu Nanxi was around, Gu Nanchen would never see her.

Yao Wan felt a little dizzy, as if she had been knocked out.

Who could it be?

Zhang Changjie? It was still Liu Rui.

It shouldn't be them. They couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they have the time to chase him here and take revenge on him?

Yao Wan groped her way back in the dark. The waves slowly rose, and the coastline of the past was submerged.

Yao Wan inadvertently entered a dense forest.

The hazy moonlight was blocked by the forest, making the light in the forest even dimmer.

Her phone was out of battery, and she didn't even have a flashlight. She could only slowly feel around in the darkness.

Rustling sounds kept coming from the forest, as if there were reptiles moving through the forest.

The fear in Yao Wan's heart grew stronger and stronger.

The fear of the unknown was always stronger than the fear of the known.

The sound of the animals crawling was getting closer and closer to her, as if they were chasing after her.

She quickened her footsteps. She would rather be by the beach than blindly pass through the forest.

However, she could not find the way into the forest.

She was going back the way she came, but it seemed she was going deeper and deeper.

She suddenly hoped that Gu Nanchen would suddenly appear in front of her and save her.

Suddenly, there were two red lights in front of her, which were particularly eye-catching in the dark.

They should be the eyes of some animal.

The animal stuck out its tongue, and the sound of its tongue rubbing against the air reached Yao Wan's ears.

It was actually a snake!

The snake quickly crawled in Yao Wan's direction, revealing its sharp teeth.

Yao Wan was already exhausted. She closed her eyes in despair.

Was she destined to die here?

Her mother's health was still very poor. What was she going to do in the future?

Her father's company had just started to rise. Would Gu Nanchen manage it well for her?

Yes, and Gu Nanchen. He still misunderstood her. This misunderstanding would never be resolved for the rest of her life.

... "

At the critical moment, a harpoon flew out from the other side of the forest.

The harpoon accurately pierced into the snake's body.

The snake struggled on the ground for a while before its body stopped twisting.

Was it Gu Nanchen?

Yao Wan looked in the direction where the harpoon had come from.

A tall and sturdy man walked out of the forest.

He was only wearing a pair of coarse pants, and his upper body was bare. Under the mottled moonlight, his bronze-colored muscles looked even more robust.

It was not Gu Nanchen.

Yao Wan was actually a little disappointed.

The man walked over and picked up the snake's corpse, placing it in the bamboo basket that he carried with him.

Then he was about to leave.

"Hey!" Yao Wan hurriedly called out to him.

He was the only one who could bring her out of this forest.

The man turned around with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Thank you for saving me."

The appearance of this man in front of her made Yao Wan feel as if she had seen her savior.

"There's no need to thank me. It's already so late. There are a lot of ferocious beasts on the island. As a girl, it's better for you not to wander around by yourself."

The man's voice was honest and gentle, unlike Gu Nanchen's.

Apart from being tsundere, he was still tsundere.

Yao Wan curled her lips.

"I'm lost... I live near the port. Can you take me out?"

Yao Wan asked tentatively. After all, it was a very troublesome matter. If the man did not agree, there was nothing she could do.

The man nodded. "Okay."

"What's your name?"

She didn't even know the name of her savior.

"Abu."
