Chapter 2046 Comfort
Zhao Lei was almost tired of eating wild fruits and grilled fish.

He wants to eat vegetables.

He missed his soft bed even more.

……

"Hey~"

As if sensing Zhao Lei's depression, Xiaomei touched Zhao Lei's knee submerged in the sea with her hand.

Zhao Lei smiled.

"I am fine."

Xiaomei just kept staring at him.

Zhao Lei was eventually defeated.

"It's really okay."

"Just a little edgy... and a little uneasy."

Xiaomei listened quietly.

"Hu Zi and I were thrown to this island by the waves during a storm."

"Our boat is broken."

“There’s no way to leave.”

"We need to wait for rescue from others."

"see it?"

Zhao Lei half turned around and pointed at the fire not far away.

"Hey, is that white smoke rising very high?"

Xiaomei looked up.

I found that the white smoke kept going up and even touched the white clouds.

“That way people far away can see it.”

"If they see us, they will come to rescue us."

Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.

He had thought it would be easy.

As a result…did he underestimate the remoteness of this island?

"This is a universal distress signal for us humans."

Zhao Lei explained.

"It's just that, after so many days, no one has seen the white smoke."

"No one came to rescue us."

"I'm beginning to worry."

"We're not going to stay here for a long time, are we?"

Then on the day he was rescued, everyone else thought they had seen a wild man.

This imagination is not beautiful at all.

Although Zhao Lei likes adventure, he also likes city life.

The best thing is to balance the two.

Besides, if there is no news for too long, his family will be worried.

“When will someone see it…?”

Zhao Lei murmured.

The long vacation is over.

probably
The first person to notice that he couldn't be contacted was his editor, right?
He still owes the editor a travelogue.

Thinking of the editor's crazy look, Zhao Lei laughed out loud in a somewhat unkind way.

But soon, the smile faded from the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Hey……"

He let out a long sigh.

……

"Hey~"

Xiaomei jumped out of the sea.

Her long hair fell down like seaweed.

The pink and golden scales emit a quiet yet bright halo under the moonlight.

Beautiful beyond words.

Zhao Lei subconsciously held his breath and concentrated.

His eyes were dazed.

It's so beautiful.

More than just beauty.

It's also a sense of illusion.

It further deepens the viewer's sense of shock.

Leaving the viewer speechless.

"Plop~"

Xiaomei fell into the sea.

With a nimble flick of its tail, its head soon emerged from the sea in front of Zhao Lei.

He smiled so hard that his sharp shark teeth were exposed.

A few drops of water splashed onto Zhao Lei's face.

Zhao Lei blinked.

He reached out and touched his face, and the sadness between his brows dissipated a lot.

He smiled.

"Are you trying to comfort me, Mei?"

"Thank you."

"I am okay."

"I just couldn't help but want to complain."

After all, sometimes a person's reason and emotions are always separated.

Reason told him that complaining was useless.

But emotionally, he couldn't let go of the depression in his heart.

People are so contradictory.

"But I won't give up."

"I believe I will get out of here." "It's just a matter of time."

"and"

The expression on Zhao Lei's face became clearer.

"fine."

He was not alone trapped on this isolated island.

Hu Zi was with him.

"I also got to know you."

Zhao Lei felt that he was lucky.

"I'm very lucky."

He told himself so.

The whole person seemed to calm down because of this.

No longer as impetuous as before.

"Yi~"

Noticing that Zhao Lei's mood had recovered, Xiaomei let out a happy cry.

The fluorescent light on the tail flickered beneath the sea.

Like another starry sky.

"I'm sorry for always complaining to you."

Zhao Lei scratched his hair.

Perhaps because he knew that the other party couldn't understand what he said, he could speak his mind so freely.

But perhaps, he also hoped that the other party could understand what he said.

He shook his head in amusement.

You want others to understand what you hear, even though they don't understand.
He is really a conflicted person.

"Okay, it's almost time."

Zhao Lei stood up.

"Children need to go to bed early and get up early to keep healthy."

"Xiaomei, go and have a rest."

"Goodbye."

Just like every time before, Zhao Lei turned around.

Xiaomei looked at Zhao Lei's back.

Until Zhao Lei walked to Hu Zi's side.

The gaze behind him disappeared.

Come to think of it, Hu Zi and Xiao Mei are of the same kind.

Although he also knew that not all monsters were friendly.

I also understand Hu Zi's indifference towards other monsters.

But Xiaomei is different.

Xiaomei had no ill will towards him.

They became good friends.

If possible, he hopes Hu Zi and Xiao Mei can get along well.

Imagination is beautiful.

Obviously
Neither Hu Zi nor Xiao Mei had such an idea.

They almost pretend that the other does not exist.

Zhao Lei found this strange and a little funny.

But after he mentioned it to Hu Zi and Hu Zi just rolled his eyes at him, he no longer interfered with the strange way these two monsters almost hated each other.

After lying down, Zhao Lei thought he would not be able to fall asleep.

But as a result, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he stared blankly with his eyes open, looking a little dazed.

Then he sighed amusedly.

He really has a thick nerve.

That's pretty good too.

Zhao Lei stood up.

He stretched himself lazily.

"Huzi, you should take a rest."

Considering that Hu Zi always failed to wake him up, he switched his and Hu Zi's shifts.

He was on duty in the first half of the night.

Hu Zi stayed on guard until the second half of the night.

After Zhao Lei added a few leaves to the fire, he turned and walked towards the beach.

These days, he goes to the beach every morning to say hello to Xiaomei.

Then have a brief chat.

After all, he still had to watch the fire.

But when he switches shifts with Huzi, he can play with Xiaomei.

Ok?
Zhao Lei was stunned.

In the past few days, he could see Xiaomei as soon as he walked to the beach.

Nowadays
He lowered his head and looked around.

Haven't you come yet?
Or somewhere else?
At first, he didn't care.

Xiaomei is a child, maybe her attention was attracted by something and she came late.

However, after he walked along the coastline for a long distance and still didn't find Xiaomei, the relief on his face faded.

His brows slowly furrowed.

It has been quite some time.

Xiaomei hasn't come yet
Are you stuck on something?

Still in trouble?
The more Zhao Lei thought about it, the more worried he became.

no no.

Xiaomei is a "mermaid"!
Ordinary creatures will not be its opponents.

Don’t be fooled by Xiaomei’s face that looks weak and fragile. You can tell from her shark teeth that Xiaomei is not as harmless and weak as she looks.

Anyone who underestimates Xiaomei will pay the price.
