Chapter 1860: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (64)
Moved?
By Huo Third Master?
Xia Cha recalled carefully. Huo Third Master was indeed handsome and n.o.ble. His facial features were like an artisan’s meticulously carved sculpture, and he exuded the deep and rich aura of a mature man.
He was just like a rare French red wine that could captivate people.
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha who was lost in her memories, and his eyes flashed with coldness and malice.
His dark red lips were pursed tightly and his thin jawline was tight. Without waiting for Xia Cha to answer, he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and turned to leave.
Xia Cha looked at the man who left without a word and felt puzzled.
He was the one who started the conversation, yet she had not even said anything. Why did he look so gloomy and scary?
Xia Cha touched her nose and stood by the sea for a while before walking toward the shed he had set up.
Huo Heng lit the fire with the dry wood that wasn’t wet. He sat by the fire and smoked.
Under the smoke and fire, his handsome and flirtatious face looked dark.
Xia Cha walked over and sat opposite him.
The surroundings were very quiet, except for the crackling of the firewood.
Xia Cha looked at the man’s tense face. She picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at him.
“I think Huo Third Master is very handsome and manly. He’s the type that can leave a deep impression on people with just one look.” Seeing the man’s face darken at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xia Cha continued, “Mature, handsome, steady, and reserved…”
“Xia Cha, try saying another word.”
Pfft…
Xia Cha could not help but laugh. Her skin was smooth and fair, and her eyebrows were long and thin. When she smiled, her eyes were clear, her eyes curved and sparkled.
“Why do you care so much about Huo Third Master?” Xia Cha recalled that two years ago, he had not allowed her to partic.i.p.ate in Star King Entertainment’s singing compet.i.tion. She had a trace of doubt in her eyes, “Is there some conflict between you and Huo Third Master?”
Huo Heng glanced at Xia Cha, “What great imagination.”
“Then why are you arguing with an old man?”
Old man?
Hearing how Xia Cha addressed Huo Third Master, he pressed the tip of his tongue against his upper jaw and smiled.
Xia Cha’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Huo Heng’s smile.
When he smiled, he was too handsome and flirtatious, like a demon that could steal a person’s soul.
She stood up from the ground. “You can dry your clothes. I’ll go find something to eat.”
Not long after Xia Cha walked out of the shed, the man followed her.
“This island hasn’t been developed yet, so there are plenty of snakes, insects, rats, and ants on it. You’re just a young lady. Aren’t you afraid of going out alone?”
Initially, Xia Cha had not been afraid, but after he said that, she felt a little scared.
“I heard that there used to be a woman who jumped into the sea here. At night, people would hear shrill cries…” Before Huo Heng could finish speaking, his sleeve was pulled back by a small white hand.
Just as Huo Heng was about to hold her hand, the girl pinched him hard.
Hiss…
He gasped.
The girl who had been terrified earlier had already walked up to him.
“Young Master Huo, why don’t you think about where I grew up? The Xia family has split from the main family to the Southern Mountains. That place was desolate at first, but I still dared to go out at night. Besides, it’s not dark yet, so I’m not afraid at all.”
After Xia Cha finished speaking, she saw a coconut tree and quickly ran over.
Xia Cha was extremely thirsty, but the coconut tree was a little too tall for her to climb and shake off. She licked her lips and looked at the man who was walking over slowly. “Young Master Huo, can you pick it?”
Huo Heng’s tall body leaned against another tree. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Cha. “Sure, but…” He resumed his indecent look. His slender hand pointed at the left side of his handsome face and smiled devilishly. “Kiss me here.”
She had thought that his words would make her feel repulsed and wary.
Unexpectedly, she walked forward, stood on her tiptoes and kissed his handsome face.
Huo Heng was caught off guard and was stunned for a few seconds by her gentle touch. He looked into her clear eyes and seemed to have lost his voice…
After a while, he went to the tree to pick coconuts for her.
They each had a coconut, and Huo Heng caught a few crabs and small fish.
Without a pot, he could only roast whatever they had.
Perhaps it was because she was extremely hungry, Xia Cha actually felt that it was delicious to roast their food.
The sky gradually darkened. Xia Cha looked at the man who had not spoken much since she kissed him. “Young Master Huo, when will the person who saved us come?”
Huo Heng had come to the island alone, and no one knew about this island except for him.
“I’ll make the fire bigger later. If a fis.h.i.+ng boat pa.s.ses by, we might still have a chance.”
Xia Cha acknowledged softly.
At night, it was cooler on the island. Xia Cha felt her head aching. She hugged her knees and fell asleep.
In a daze, she felt someone calling her.
When she opened her eyes and saw the man’s handsome face, she blinked. “Young Master Huo?”
“You have a fever.”
Xia Cha hugged herself tightly, her slender body s.h.i.+vering. “I’m so cold.”
Huo Heng held Xia Cha’s shoulders and pulled her into his arms. “Lean against me.”
Xia Cha vaguely felt that this kind of intimacy was not appropriate, but her head was heavy and her feet light, and her body was cold. She yearned for warmth…
She snuggled into his arms.
Huo Heng lowered his head to look at her little head, his expression slightly dazed.
They had known each other for many years, and this was the first time she had taken the initiative to approach him.
…
The next day.
Xia Cha woke up at dawn.
Her head was still a little heavy. She touched her forehead. It was still very hot.
The man was nowhere to be seen.
Xia Cha’s heart was in her throat.
Did Huo Heng leave?
No, although he was annoying sometimes, he was not a bad person. He would not leave her here alone.
Xia Cha stood up.
As soon as she walked out of the shed, she saw Huo Heng’s tall figure.
“A fis.h.i.+ng boat came by. The fishermen will take us out of here.”
Hearing this, Xia Cha smiled happily, “That’s great.”
Huo Heng saw that Xia Cha’s face was still abnormally red and raised his hand to touch her forehead. He frowned, walked in front of her, and squatted down. “Come here. I’ll carry you over.”
Xia Cha waved her hand. Thinking how she had slept in his arms the previous night, she said shyly and awkwardly, “No, no need. I can walk by myself.”
“Come here. Don’t waste time. We don’t know when we’ll be able to leave once the fisherman leaves.”
Xia Cha had no choice but to walk forward and lie on his slender and firm back.
He looked tall and thin, but he was strong enough to carry her easily.
He walked quickly, but his steps were steady.
Xia Cha had never thought that she would one day be on the back of the man she hated the most. Moreover, she did not feel any unwillingness or discomfort.
