Ye Xingguang walked towards him, âLi Yu, why are you standing at the entrance? Why donât you go inside? I was going to rescue you. Donât tell me Uncle Li has chased you out, or he wonât even let you in?â
Li Yu raised an eyebrow, as though accepting his plight, focused on the luggage in her hands, âWhere are you off to?â
âBack to the capital,â she replied.
Li Yu: âYou just got here less than an hour ago, and youâre leaving already?â
âI only came back to fetch my stuff. Now that Iâve gotten it, of course, I have to head back. Iâve booked a flight for 4:30 tomorrow morning to the capital. If Uncle Li really did kick you out, will you stay over here?â
âIsnât it quite nice here?â Li Yu answered, seemingly prepared to spend the night in a corner of the courtyard.
âHow can that be? Why donât you stay at my place tonight? Once Uncle Li calms down, you can move back in. My house is vacant anyway, and nobody is staying there. Here, take the keys.â
Li Yu did not stand on ceremony. After taking her keys, he picked up her luggage, wanting to escort her to the pier.
Just as they reached the pier, a clap of thunder echoed across the sky, startling Ye Xingguang, who had always been afraid of thunderstorms.
The boatman was waiting at the pier with a worried look. âThe weather forecast has predicted a storm tonight, suggesting that itâs not suitable for sailing. I didnât think much of it due to the clear sky just now, but now the sky is enveloped in dark clouds. Xingguang, should we leave the island tomorrow morning instead? With such unpredictable weather, it might not be safe to leave now.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat?â But the person who got bitten by the wolf is having a high fever and waiting for her to return with the medicine.
âBoom!â
âBoom!â
One thunderclap after another made Ye Xingguangâs heart quiver. Even before the storm had begun, her heart had already succumbed to fear, she was exceedingly afraid of thunder, not slightly.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen called, âXingguang, have you set off yet?â
âNot yet, we were just about to.â
Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, âThatâs good. Return quickly! I wasnât aware of the weather report until you left, and heard that there will be a typhoon tonight. Return quickly, leaving the island can wait. Youâve always been afraid of thunder; your parents will surely blame me if they find out.â
At this very moment, a private airplane was making its journey through the night.
Fu Zhuo sat on the plane, chattering incessantly.
âUncle Yue, are you sure you know where Miss Yeâs island is? It would be troublesome if you got it wrong. Itâs odd, despite her island being registered, there are no specific coordinates marked on the map. If we miss out on any longitudes or latitudes at this late hour, especially in the middle of a storm, good luck finding it. And itâs just a remote and simple island, it probably wonât have an airport â so where could we land?â
Ye Junyao glanced at the jabbering Fu Zhuo, causing him to shut up neatly.
Just as Fu Zhuo closed his eyes, Master Gu who coincidentally seated on Yueâs plane couldnât help but ask, âYoung man, your secretary is correct. With your feverish state, are you sure you can remember the correct coordinates?â
Who said heâs delirious? Heâs completely lucid right now!
Ye Junyaoâs facial muscles were taut. He had dozed off twice on the plane. Each time he was asleep, his dreams were filled with scenes of Xiaoyuxi and Li Yu in each otherâs arms. The flames of jealousy that had been burning in his chest for hours were not ghing out; instead, they were growing stronger!
Ye Junyao closed his eyes, daring not to think about what he would do if he came across such a scenario again. Should he put an end to them, or should he let them be?
