C95

On the night of the wreck of the Royal Pearl:

Lightning crackled in the air, and the storm whipped fiercely at the luxurious cruise ship. All the doors and windows were shut and the curtains drawn, but the sound of the rain and the wind and the thunder could still be heard.

Because it was a thunderstorm, Gu Xiangling couldn't even play on her phone, so she could only flip through some paperwork to pass the time. What bad luck. It was her first time traveling on a boat, and she encountered such terrible weather.

In the past, when he read Golgi's "The Song of the Stormy Petrel", he had even proudly recited the line, "Let the storm come fiercer!" He imagined himself as a sea swallow, battling the wind and the waves on the sea, and only then did he feel that such a thought was laughable.

As Gu Xiangling was immersed in the plot of the book, she suddenly felt that everything in the room was shaking violently, like an earthquake. But this was on a ship, how could there be an earthquake?

The sound of crying came from behind the door, and then everything in the room started spinning. Gu Xiangling couldn't stand properly, and fell heavily onto the wall. Then the light went out and she was suddenly in darkness.

"Sister, the boat has capsized. Run!" In the darkness, she heard Bei Mengmeng's panicked voice.

"F * ck!" Gu Xiangling screamed miserably as countless pieces of furniture flew towards her. Bei Mengmeng's voice could no longer be heard. The surroundings were filled with creaking sounds and miserable screams.

"Mengmeng, Mengmeng, Little Li, Little Zhao …" Gu Xiangling called for Bei Mengmeng and the employees who were with her. Her voice was barely audible amidst the commotion.

Gu Xiangling only felt as if her brain had hit something hard, and golden stars started to appear in front of her eyes. Under the intense headaches, she fainted.

When she woke up, she tried to open her eyes and saw nothing but gray. She tried to focus, to see where she was.

A young, energetic boy's voice was shouting, "She's awake, she's awake." Then, Gu Xiangling heard the sound of his footsteps as he ran away, before slamming the door shut.

Only then was Gu Xiangling able to see that the dusky scene was the ceiling. Trying to turn her head again, it was obviously a room, with shabby, old, lacquered furniture. At the corner, there were even a few gunny sacks.

"And on the walls and walls, there are spiderwebs." How did I get here? " Gu Xiangling's mind was a blur, and she felt like she was dreaming.

A door opened and Gu Xiangling looked towards the sound. A woman in her fifties walked in with a bowl in her hands. Her hair was completely white, and her face was slightly black. There were a few light freckles on her face. Her eyes were cloudy. When she got closer, Gu Xiangling could see that there were quite a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

This appearance was exactly the same as that of the rural women Gu Xiangling had met when she was young. Because of her long and tiring life, she appeared very old.

"When the woman saw that she was awake, she laughed heartily, revealing her yellow teeth." Big sis, you're awake! "

Gu Xiangling struggled to sit up, but the moment she did, she felt dizzy. "The woman quickly pushed her onto the bed." Don't move, your brain is injured and you haven't recovered yet! "

"You, who are you?"

"What can I do about it? My child's father has always called me mother and father, and everyone nearby has always called me sister-in-law Yang. You can call me that too." "Mistress Yang picked up the bowl and stirred it with a spoon." Are you hungry? Eldest sister-in-law will feed you something. "

"No no, I'll do it myself." Gu Xiangling struggled to sit up again. She understood that her family had saved her, and she didn't want to cause them any more trouble.

"You brat, why are you being so polite to me!" Sister-in-law Yang scooped up a spoonful of black paste and brought it to Gu Xiangling's mouth. Gu Xiangling shut her mouth instinctively. She couldn't tell what it was, so she didn't dare to eat it.

Besides, she was only used to Song Ming's actions of feeding her. After snatching the bowl from Mrs. Yang's hands, she smiled and said, "I'm really not used to being fed by others. It's better if I do it myself."

Aunt Yang didn't insist, she patted her thigh and stood up, "Sure, you eat first, I'll go out and busy myself first."

Gu Xiangling forced herself to take a sip. It was somewhat sweet, like pasta. Due to the hunger in her stomach, she didn't care about being picky and ate the bowl of food cleanly.

"Elder sister, elder sister." "She heard Bei Mengmeng whisper." Our ship sank in a storm, and I did my best to get you to a smoky island, and then you were saved by the family. "

"Who is this person?" "What is this place?" Gu Xiangling asked. She wanted to get out of the bed, but she found that every movement of her right leg hurt so much that she couldn't move it at all.

"Your right leg is broken, so you can't move it." Bei Mengmeng reported in detail, "This family is surnamed Yang, they have a couple and a son. Elder sister, you have to be careful. That son looks at you weirdly. "

Gu Xiangling smiled. Bei Mengmeng was Bei Mengmeng. She would never be able to change her mischievous attitude. What do you know, you little thing? What's wrong with the way he looks at me? "

"Just like how big brother looks at you." Just as Bei Mengmeng finished her sentence, Gu Xiangling heard footsteps. She hurriedly said, "Someone's coming."

The door burst open and a tall, dark-skinned young man strode in carrying a bunch of bananas. He was wearing a white vest, obviously one size larger than the previous ones.

He smiled idiotically at Gu Xiangling with a simple and honest expression. He wiped the sweat from his face with the bottom of his vest and said, "Sigh, this damn weather is so damn hot."

Gu Xiangling didn't know how to reply. Bei Mengmeng had said that the "son" who noticed that something was wrong with her eyes should be him. Heavens, did she need to be so 'charming'? There would always be a man who liked her.

"Are you hot? Let me fan you." He fished out a large fan from nowhere and fanned Gu Xianglin with great force, causing her hair to fly wildly.

Being too close, Gu Xiangling could clearly smell the thick sweat on his body. She couldn't help but hold her breath. She was not used to the strong male scent.

"Cough, I'm not hot, thank you." Gu Xiangling quickly stopped him from continuing the slap. If she continued, she might even faint from the smell.

He immediately stopped and stood by the side of the bed, looking at Gu Xiangling with a helpless smile. Gu Xiangling was scared witless by the stare and felt extremely awkward.

"You eat bananas! This banana is delicious! " He tore off a banana, peeled it in a few bites, and brought it to Gu Xiangling's mouth.

My God! A crow flew through Gu Xiangling's heart. Was this reckless kid's way of expressing her love so simple and direct?

In the past, she had felt that Song Mingjian's provocative and evil words were too direct, and she couldn't bear it any longer. This simple, clumsy way of flirting was even more difficult to accept.
