Bai Zhi left a piece of snake meat for the blond young man. Seeing that he was still unconscious, she and Xiao Qing cuddled with each other and fell asleep.
She wanted the two of them to take turns in watching, at least one of them had to be awake.
But they were too tired, both of them were too tired, their eyelids seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, and they couldn’t hold it at all, so they had to go to sleep first.
Who knows how long she slept, Bai Zhi felt a little stiff and wanted to turn over, but there was another feeling as if a pair of eyes were staring at her.
She opened her eyes, looked at the face in front of her, swallowed the scream into her throat, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile, “You’re awake!”
The blond man looked at the girl in front of him, she was petite and cute, with black hair and brown eyes, utterly different from the women he had ever seen.
These eyes were big and bright. When she opened them, he seemed to see a star, shining brightly.
She said something, what did she say? He couldn’t understand.
The blond man asked, “Who are you?”
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he spoke English, if it were any other language, she really couldn’t understand.
Bai Zhi sat up and replied to him in proficient English: “Hello, we were blown to this island by a hurricane. We wanted to find the residents of this island to spend the night, but we didn’t find them, instead found you here.”
The blond young man looked surprised, “You, you can speak English?” This English language was the special language of their country, and even the neighboring countries can’t speak it.
The girl in front of him was not from the United Kingdom, or even from any country, he has seen. Although her skin was fair, it was still somewhat different from their skin color, especially the color of her hair and eyes. The clothes she was wearing were not from any country he had ever seen.
Bai Zhi nodded: “I learned some by chance.”
The blond-haired youth swept his gaze to Xiao Qing behind her and asked: “Just the two of you?”
There was obvious alertness in Bai Zhi’s eyes: “My fujun will come to pick us up soon.”
The blond young man didn’t understand what fujun means, so he asked: “What is fujun?”
“Fujun, fujun means husband.” She quickly explained to the man in front of her. She didn’t know who he was or what he was thinking. They were two lonely and weak women, and it was dangerous to be with someone like him.
The young man seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled: “You saved me, I will not hurt you, but protect you. The men of our Shane Family do not bully the weak.”
Shane? This surname was quite special. Bai Zhi said with a smile: “Saving you is just a coincidence, it just means your life shouldn’t end.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the previous doubts and tensions disappeared.
Sometimes, when people interact with each other, just one look was enough.
“What’s your name?” The man surnamed Shane asked.
Bai Zhi said her name in Chinese: “Bai Zhi!”
He said it in a broken Chinese dialect, so what he said was different. Bai Zhi translated the meaning of Bai Zhi in English: “Bai Zhi is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which can be used to treat diseases. My father saw it in herbal medicine book and named me Bai Zhi.”
“There’s such a strange medicine!” The man surnamed Shane laughed, then stopped and said, “My name is Shane Shaw, and they all call me Shaw.” Since he looked into her eyes, he couldn’t look away.
She smiled so beautifully, and the shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth could make people find it sweet in their hearts.
