Gu Juexi observed their surroundings carefully after he put out the fire. He buried the pheasant bones properly then walked to the beach with Ye Yuwei’s clothes in his hands.
Ye Yuwei was washing her hands when she was suddenly hit by a pile of clothes thrown by Gu Juexi.
“Change your clothes quickly. We are leaving soon,” said Gu Juexi without looking at her. He went straight to the water to wash his hands.
Ye Yuwei grumbled and took her clothes, glaring at Gu Juexi’s back. ‘Is this what he calls love?’
‘CEO Gu is definitely different from other people!’
Ye Yuwei changed into her clothes, grumbling non-stop. She then threw Gu Juexi’s clothes back at him.
Gu Juexi caught the shirt and wore it straightaway. The shirt was still warm, making Gu Juexi’s mind run wild again. He stared at the girl opposite him while buttoning his shirt. He was trying hard to maintain his control; his fingers were trembling slightly.
Ye Yuwei did not realize what was going on. She was completely immersed in the beauty of her surroundings. There was no trace of humans or development, so this island’s natural beauty was incredible.
“This place is so serene and beautiful,” exclaimed Ye Yuwei in awe. She opened her arms wide to feel the sea breeze.
Gu Juexi had just finished buttoning his shirt when he saw Ye Yuwei enjoying her surroundings, eyes closed in bliss. It was undoubtedly a scenic view. Come to think of it, perhaps this place was rarely visited by fishermen due to frequent tsunamis.
“It’s beautiful here. However, wifey, your realization managed to hit us with a problem,” said Gu Juexi with a grin.
Ye Yuwei was puzzled. She put down her hands down and looked at Gu Juexi curiously. “What is it?”
“If there are people living on the other side of the island, why didn’t they explore this place first?” Gu Juexi asked her. They had reached the place where they had roasted the pheasant earlier. Gu Juexi pulled out the sharp wooden stick that he had used for hunting just now.
Ye Yuwei followed him, barefooted. She had lost her shoes in the ocean so she had to walk barefooted.
“That proves it’s not easy to walk through the island. The jungle is much more complicated and dangerous than the ocean. Who knows what is inside the deep jungle,” Gu Juexi continued. He picked up a few small stones and kept the wooden stick near his waist.
“But if you can only use one hand now, then…”
“If we don’t go back as soon as possible, we’ll be declared dead,” Gu Juexi interrupted Ye Yuwei. He added, “I will bring you back here after we leave if you like this place.”
That was not what she wanted to hear.
“The most important thing is that you must bring me along!” Ye Yuwei growled in annoyance.
“Finally, you know your position,” said Gu Juexi mockingly. He did not console Ye Yuwei and instead mocked her.
Ye Yuwei had no words.
‘Isn’t the guy supposed to say something like ‘It’s alright, I can protect you. I won’t leave you behind’ in this situation?’
Fine. The almighty CEO Gu really was different from other people.
“Since your burden is already here, you had better accept your fate,” sneered Ye Yuwei mockingly before she walked away.
Gu Juexi chuckled, “This way.”
Ye Yuwei went silent, face turning red in embarrassment.
What an awkward moment!
When Ye Yuwei approached him, Gu Juexi lowered his gaze to her bare feet. He frowned and crouched down, “Get on.”
“I am alright,” Ye Yuwei refused to be carried on his back. Her mere presence was already a burden so she would not trouble him further.
“Get on my back quickly. Mrs. Gu’s body is precious. What would a peasant know? If my Mrs. Gu is injured, it will hurt me more,” urged Gu Juexi.
Ye Yuwei blinked, speechless.
Was he complimenting or insulting her right now?
