Chapter 2046 Comfort
Zhao Lei was almost tired of eating wild fruits and grilled fish.
He wants to eat vegetables.
He missed the soft bed even more.
……
"咿~"
Seemingly sensing Zhao Lei's depression, Xiaomei touched Zhao Lei's knee that was submerged in the sea.
Zhao Lei smiled.
"I'm fine."
Xiaomei just kept staring at him.
Zhao Lei was finally defeated.
"It's really okay."
"Just a little impatient...and a little uneasy."
Xiaomei listened quietly.
"Huzi and I came to this island because of a storm and were hit by waves."
"Our ship is broken."
"There is no way to leave."
"Need to wait for rescue from others."
"Did you see it?"
Zhao Lei turned around and pointed at the fire not far away.
"Hey, does that white smoke rise very high?"
Xiaomei raised her head.
I found that the white smoke kept going upwards and even touched the white clouds.
"People from far away will see it."
"When they see it, they will come to save us."
Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.
He had thought it would be easy.
As a result...did he underestimate the remoteness of this island?
"This is a distress signal common to us humans."
Zhao Lei explained.
"It's just that, after so many days, no one has seen the white smoke."
"No one will come to save us."
"I'm starting to worry."
"We're not going to stay here for a long time, are we?"
Then on the day he was rescued, others thought they had seen a savage.
This kind of imagination is not beautiful at all.
Although Zhao Lei likes adventure, he also likes urban life.
It's best to adjust the two to each other.
Moreover, if there is no news for too long, his family will be worried.
"...When will anyone see it..."
Zhao Lei murmured.
The long vacation is over.
Probably
Was it his editor who first noticed that he couldn't be reached?
He still owes the editor a travelogue.
Thinking of the editor going crazy, Zhao Lei laughed a little unkindly.
But soon, the smile faded from the corners of his eyes and brows.
"Hey..."
He let out a long sigh.
……
"咿~"
Xiao Mei jumped out of the sea.
Her long hair fell down like seaweed.
The pink-gold scales exude a quiet but bright halo under the clear moonlight.
It's beyond beautiful.
Zhao Lei subconsciously held his breath and concentrated.
His eyes were dazed.
It's so beautiful.
Not just beauty.
It’s even more of a sense of illusion.
It further deepens the viewer’s sense of shock.
The viewer is left speechless.
"Plop~"
Xiaomei fell into the sea.
The tail flicked nimbly, and soon, the head poked out of the sea water in front of Zhao Lei.
He smiled so sharply that he showed his sharp shark teeth.
A few water droplets splashed on Zhao Lei's face.
Zhao Lei blinked.
He reached out and touched his face, and the sadness between his brows and eyes dissipated a lot.
He smiled.
"Are Xiaomei comforting me?"
"Thank you."
"I'm fine."
"I just can't help but want to complain."
After all, sometimes people's reason and emotions are always separate.
Reason told him that complaining was useless.
But emotionally, he couldn't let go of his depression.
People are so contradictory.
"But I won't give up."
"I believe I will get out of here." "It's just a matter of time."
"And"
The expression on Zhao Lei's face became clearer.
"Not bad."
He was not alone on this island.
There is Hu Zi accompanying him.
"I also got to know you."
Zhao Lei feels that he is lucky.
"I'm lucky."
He told himself so.
The whole person seemed to settle down due to this.
No longer as impetuous as before.
"咿～"
Sensing the recovery of Zhao Lei's mood, Xiaomei let out a joyful cry.
The fluorescent light on its tail flickers beneath the surface of the sea.
Like another starry sky.
"I'm sorry for always complaining about you."
Zhao Lei scratched his hair.
Perhaps it was because he knew that the other party could not understand him that he could speak his mind so freely.
But maybe, he also hopes that the other party can understand what he said.
He shook his head in amusement.
You want others to understand you, but you also want others to understand you.
He is also a really troubled person.
"Okay, it's almost time."
Zhao Lei stood up.
"Children should go to bed early and get up early for good health."
"Xiaomei, go and rest."
"Goodbye."
Just like every time before, Zhao Lei turned around.
Xiaomei stared at Zhao Lei's back.
Until Zhao Lei walked to Hu Zi's side.
The gaze behind him disappeared.
Speaking of which, Huzi and Xiaomei are obviously the same kind.
Although he also knew that not all monsters were friendly.
He also understood Huzi's indifference towards other monsters.
However, Xiaomei is different.
Xiaomei has no ill intentions towards him.
They became very good friends.
If possible, he hoped that Huzi and Xiaomei could get along well.
Imagination is wonderful.
Obviously
Neither Huzi nor Xiaomei had such thoughts.
They almost treat each other as if they don't exist.
Zhao Lei felt strange and a little funny about this.
But after mentioning it to Huzi and Huzi just gave him a roll of the eyes, he no longer interfered with the strange relationship between the two monsters, which was almost disgusting with each other.
After lying down, Zhao Lei thought he would not be able to sleep.
But as a result, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, he opened his eyes in a daze, feeling a little dazed.
Then he sighed in amusement.
He is also really crazy.
That's pretty good too.
Zhao Lei stood up.
Stretched a lot.
"Huzi, please rest."
In view of Huzi's behavior of always not waking him up, he changed his and Huzi's schedule.
He is on duty at midnight.
The tiger guarded for the rest of the night.
After Zhao Lei added a few leaves to the fire, he turned and walked towards the seaside.
In the past few days, he would go to the beach to say hello to Xiaomei every morning.
Then chat briefly.
After all, he still had to watch the fire.
But when he changes shift with Huzi, he can play with Xiaomei.
Um?
Zhao Lei was stunned.
In the past few days, he could see Xiaomei as soon as he walked to the beach.
Today
He lowered his head and looked around.
Haven't you come yet?
Or somewhere else?
At first, he didn't care.
Xiaomei's child's mind may have been attracted by something, or she may have arrived late.
However, after he walked a long distance along the coastline and still didn't find Xiaomei, the relief on his face faded.
His brows slowly furrowed.
Not a short time has passed.
Xiaomei hasn’t come yet
Did you get stuck by something?
Still having trouble?
The more Zhao Lei thought about it, the more worried he became.
No no.
Xiaomei is a "mermaid"!
Ordinary creatures are no match for it.
Although Xiaomei's face looks soft and weak, it can be seen from Xiaomei's shark teeth that Xiaomei is not as harmless and weak as she appears.
Whoever underestimates Xiaomei will have to pay the price.
