Chapter 1859: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (63)
Xia Cha walked out and stood in front of the railing.
Thinking of the dangerous scene earlier, she still had lingering fears!
If she hadn’t met Huo Heng, she would have died in the ocean!
She used to have some prejudice against Huo Heng. She always felt that he was sloppy and not a good person.
But when he saved her earlier, he probably didn’t know that she was Xia Cha.
He was able to save a stranger without any hesitation. This showed that he was a righteous person.
In the past, she had been too biased against him.
A gust of wind blew and messed up Xia Cha’s hair. She raised her hand and brushed her hair behind her ear.
Her fingertips touched her ear.
It was still scorching hot.
“Miss Xia.” A man’s voice suddenly sounded beside her ear. Xia Cha pushed her long hair behind her ear again, covering her red ears.
She looked up at the man.
Hearing his unfamiliar tone, she frowned slightly.
“The speedboat is out of fuel. It might not make it to sh.o.r.e.”
Xia Cha widened her eyes slightly, “Can you call…” Her bag was in the taxi, and her phone was still in her bag.
“The battery is dead.”
Xia Cha looked at the gray sky. If they could not reach the sh.o.r.e as soon as possible, they might encounter danger at sea. “What should we do?”
Huo Heng looked around with binoculars.
He quickly came to a conclusion. “Follow me to the island.”
This place was very close to the island that he had bought. It should not be a problem to get there.
Xia Cha had narrowly missed death. After being rescued by him, she started to trust him. She did not have any objections to his suggestion.
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was indeed safer to go to the island.
Xia Cha nodded at Huo Heng.
Seeing Xia Cha becoming more obedient, Huo Heng was amused.
Xia Cha looked at the man’s upturned lips and said angrily, “What are you laughing at?”
Huo Heng put a hand in his pocket and turned to walk toward the driver’s seat. “Nothing.”
Xia Cha looked at his back, slightly dazed.
He had changed a lot in the past two years.
The frivolousness and promiscuity from before seemed to have disappeared. He seemed to have become more reserved and cold, making it even harder to see through his heart.
Huo Heng soon drove the speedboat to the island closest to them.
To be precise, this place was still an uninhabited island.
Huo Heng had just parked the speedboat when it started raining heavily.
Huo Heng pulled Xia Cha down the speedboat.
He picked up the suit from her shoulder and placed it over her head. “Use it to s.h.i.+eld yourself from the rain first.”
Xia Cha looked at the outline of his face that was soaked in the heavy rain. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. Her slender and fair fingers grabbed his suit jacket tightly and followed his steps.
After Huo Heng came over yesterday, he had built a simple shed in the middle of the island with wood.
He brought Xia Cha over.
Xia Cha looked at the pile of extinguished fire in the shed and seemed to have thought of something. She asked in surprise, “You… slept here last night?”
Huo Heng hummed faintly.
Xia Cha did not know why a young master like him would come to such a deserted island, but since he was unwilling to tell her, she did not ask too much.
A storm came and went quickly.
The air was chilly. Xia Cha’s clothes were still wet and she sneezed twice.
Huo Heng thought of the clean clothes in the speedboat’s c.o.c.kpit and got up to walk outside.
Seeing that Huo Heng was about to leave, Xia Cha couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master Huo, where are you going?”
Huo Heng turned around and glanced at Xia Cha.
“I’ll be right back.”
After Huo Heng left, Xia Cha curled up her slender body and squatted for a while.
Not long after, Huo Heng returned.
He threw a bag to Xia Cha and said, “Change into it.”
Xia Cha opened the bag and realized that it was a male casual outfit. “Your clothes are wet too. Change into them!”
Huo Heng leaned against a wooden stake, his tall body looking slightly lazy. “Why, do you not like my clothes?”
“That’s not what I meant…” Xia Cha did not stand on ceremony with him anymore. She took her clothes and stood up from the ground. A blush appeared on her face again.” You stand here, I…”
Huo Heng seemed to have just realized this problem. He chuckled softly and turned around. “I won’t look at you. You can change!”
“Can you stand further away?”
Huo Heng used the tip of his tongue to press against his cheek and didn’t say anything else. With one hand in his pocket, he walked away.
Xia Cha changed into his clothes as quickly as possible.
She wasn’t short, but the man was too tall for her. When she put on his clothes, it was like a child stealing an adult’s clothes.
Fortunately, she could wear them as casual pants with a belt.
She rolled up her pants and sleeves, revealing her slender arms and legs.
After a while, seeing that Huo Heng did not return, she could not help but go out to look for him.
He was leaning against a rock that was not covered by seawater. The sunlight penetrated through the haze and sprinkled down. His face was covered in a layer of gold, as if it had been meticulously carved. He was extremely handsome.
He was holding a cigarette between his long fingers and his body was slightly bent. His wet clothes clung tightly to his body, and his shoulders and arms formed a straight line, showing his masculinity.
Xia Cha walked towards the man. “Young Master Huo.”
Seeing the girl who looked even more delicate in his clothes, Huo Heng slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke.
Xia Cha walked to Huo Heng and looked at the vast sea. She asked softly, “Will someone come to save us?”
Huo Heng flicked the ash off his cigarette. “Yes.”
Xia Cha heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that his clothes were wet, she said worriedly, “You’ll catch a cold like this.”
“It’s fine.”
Xia Cha looked around, “You have a lighter, you can pick up some firewood to dry your clothes.”
Huo Heng did not seem to have heard her words. Looking at her fair and pet.i.te face, he asked in a low voice, “Who did you offend?”
“I just came to Harbor City. Last night, the yacht senior took me to see a director. The director said that the female lead and second female lead of the new movie have already been decided. Then, a man spoke up for me and the director gave me a chance to go to his studio for an audition today.”
“I left the hotel and took a taxi to meet the director. Who knew the taxi driver was a bad guy? He was there waiting for me all morning. I realized something was wrong and told him to stop the car, but I fainted. When I woke up, I was already in the speedboat.”
Upon hearing Xia Cha’s words, Huo Heng grabbed onto one of the main points. “A man spoke up for you?”
Xia Cha hummed.
“What does he look like?”
“He’s very handsome and has a good temperament…”
“Is he called Third Master?”
“How did you know?”
Huo Heng pursed his thin lips tightly and didn’t say anything else, but his expression was rather ugly.
“Young Master Huo, what’s wrong?”
Huo Heng looked straight into Xia Cha’s eyes. “What do you think of him? Did you feel anything when you first saw him?”
