  She closed the first aid kit and used his dress shirt to tie the both of them together once more.

  “Get some sleep,” he spoke up.

  “En. Wake me up if you’re tired.” She was truly too exhausted. She wrapped her limbs around him like a koala and leaned against his shoulder, quickly falling asleep.

  He lowered his head and took in her stunning features. There was a heavy shadow beneath her eyes. His heart was aching deeply for her and it felt as though it was bleeding.

  He was intelligent and understood that she had endured two days and two nights of wakefulness to keep the both of them from drowning.

  Although they were floating amidst the ocean, as he took in her stunning features and felt her limbs wrapped around him, his heart rippled and his body responded.

  However, this wasn’t the appropriate time for such matters.

  She slept deeply and gradually loosened her grip around him, floating close by.

  Although the shirt was tying them both together, it was unavoidable that her head would tilt towards the water.

  He supported her head with some difficulty and brought her closer to lean against his shoulder.

  The two of them were still adrift when Fang Xinxin woke up. She opened her eyes to see the burning hot sun. It left her skin feeling prickly hot. She did not have to check the time to know that it was late afternoon.

  From last evening till this afternoon, Fang Xinxin had sufficiently made up for her sleep debt.

  However, hunger left her body feeling weak. Her throat was also painfully dry.

  She had slept against his shoulder for so long. Yet, her neck… did not feel stiff whatsoever.

  She vaguely recollected someone massaging her shoulders while she had been asleep.

  She lifted her head and immediately saw Bai Qinghao’s pale complexion.

  His dark circles were obvious.

  “Why didn’t you wake me up earlier!” She spoke hoarsely as she looked at him in heartache. “You’re injured. You need sufficient rest.”

  “It’s alright.” He shook his head and opened the first aid kit with some difficulties. “Eat some food and drink some water.”

  Fang Xinxin saw that there was a bottle of water in the first aid kit.

  She was certain that he had relied on her method to obtain more water early in the morning.

  She really could not fathom how he had done so while taking care of her despite his injuries.

  Anyone else would have died with his wounds. It was clear that he had a greater willpower than the average man.

  Most importantly, the bottle was full of water. This meant that he had yet to drink from it.

  Her heart immediately ached for him. “We’ll go by the same rules and split it equally. Don’t try to convince me to drink more. If we waste our breath any longer, the water will evaporate. That’s simply too wasteful.”

  He was deeply moved and nodded reluctantly.

  This time, they only had a few slices of the shark meat and shared a hundred millimeters of morning dew.

  They then relied on the remaining shark meat and the water they collected every morning while drifting for two more days.

  It was another morning. Despite how little they had been eating, all their food was finally gone.

  It had been six days since they fell into the ocean.

  Neither of them had eaten sufficiently since then. The miserly bottle of morning dew they collected every morning was also barely enough to keep them alive.

  Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were not only dizzy from their hunger. They were also about to die from thirst!

  It seemed as though God had been playing a joke on them. For the past six days, it never rained even once.

  Fang Xinxin was hoping that Bai Qinghao’s subordinates would locate them.

  However, she also knew that they likely could not accurately identify where they were last seen……
