Fang Xinxin, who was starving, struggled to keep her eyes open. She felt as if she was hallucinating.
That’s because she hoped too desperately to find land.
At times, she would fantasize that a plane was flying by to pick them up. She also thought about escaping to other dimensions, as the fictitious characters in the novels she had read would do.
It was a pity that there was no such thing in real life.
After drifting for ten days, her soft and fair skin had gone completely wrinkled. She was about to soak in the ocean to her death!
The island before them appeared just like paradise.
Was she hallucinating on the verge of her death?
She blinked again and realized that the island did not disappear. She hurriedly tugged on Bai Qinghao’s elbow. “Hubby, quickly look. Is that a mirage?”
He glanced towards the distance and spoke with a hint of excitement. “That’s an island.”
Although she was nearly starving to death, she immediately seemed to regain a lot of energy. She leaned forward and lifted her right hand to block off the bright sunlight. “It’s actually an island!” This was wonderful. They could finally stand on proper land!
Indeed.
Both of them immediately began swimming towards the island with all their might.
The island appeared a good distance away and the waves were ferocious and kept setting them back significantly. They had swam over fifty meters with much difficulty and a single, powerful wave shoved them backwards by forty meters in one go.
“Fuck!” Fang Xinxin could not resist cussing.
Bai Qinghao was well brought up and was not prone to cursing. However, he watched as his wife’s cheeks reddened with anger and could not help but find her adorable. “How about you hold onto me? I’ll swim towards the island.”
“It’ll be faster if we move together. I really miss standing on land too much.” She felt her blood pumping with energy.
Bai Qinghao felt that drifting amidst the ocean with his wife was also a unique form of bliss.
After all, he only needed her to be happy.
The two of them exhibited an impressive amount of willpower as they swam towards the island.
It was still at least several kilometers of distance away. The two of them spent nearly five hours swimming before they finally arrived on the island.
They stepped on the soft sand, supporting each other in treading through the waters. The water slowly moved beneath their chests, towards their knees and finally beneath their feet.
“Wow! We’re finally fucking on land!” Fang Xinxin untied the shirt that held Bai Qinghao and her together. She then spread her limbs open and laid back on the sand.
Bai Qinghao’s energy was also thoroughly drained. He laid down by her side in exhaustion.
A wave came towards them and crashed against the shores weakly. The warm water swept past their figures and returned to the ocean.
Their bodies shifted slightly with the wave, but they were not washed adrift. Instead, only their clothes became slightly more damp.
It was afternoon and the sun was scaldingly hot.
Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao rested on the beach for several minutes. They sat up after recovering some strength.
Bai Qinghao took in his wife’s wrinkled skin with heartache. Her skin was peeling in some areas.
Thankfully, it recovered significantly after they arrived on the shore.
In fact, his skin had also become wrinkled from drifting in the ocean. However, as a man, he was unbothered by this.
He picked up the first aid kit along with the three small bottles of water tied onto it..
