The sky was covered with a thick leaden gray, the clouds hung low, and the salty air was stagnant and sticky.

It looks like the rain will continue for a long time.

Shen Mianzhi squatted on the beach. The dried blood seeped into the cracks of her nails and was difficult to clean. She rubbed each fingertip carefully, being unspeakably quiet the whole time.

She washed for a long time, until her fingertips turned white and no blood could be seen, but she still had no intention of stopping.

"Boom——"

At this moment, the first large raindrop hit her exposed neck heavily, followed by the second drop, the third drop...

The lead-gray sky was torn apart in an instant, and billions of silver-gray whips smashed onto the sea. The entire world was instantly engulfed by a deafening roar.

The heavy rain poured down on her head, instantly soaking Shen Mianzhi's hair and clothes. The cold rain flowed freely down her cheeks and neck.

After spending these few days together, Shen Mianzhi was basically certain that the uncontrollable leash was Zhou Yanheng. Every time she saw him, her brain was missing a part of her brain stem, and she completely lost the ability to think.

Her current situation is very torn. She is both falling into Zhou Yanheng's temptation and knowing clearly that it is a trap.

She tried to struggle, but the rules that bound her were too overbearing. As long as she resisted, her mind would be forced to be filled with more blanks.

Originally, on the first day on the island, Shen Mianzhi left a secret code on the beach reef area that only the Shen family's secret guards could understand, but after meeting Zhou Yanheng, she immediately removed the secret code.

Since they are acting out a scene of sharing hardships, why not cripple Zhou Yanheng's legs? Even though he has no legs, she still sticks with him. Isn't that more touching?

However, if the 'uninformed rules' knew her thoughts, she would probably continue to erase her consciousness.

Shen Mianzhi raised his head, his gaze penetrating the dense rain curtain and looking at the completely boiling, gray and chaotic area in the distance where the sea and the sky met.

The face that was expressionless a second ago suddenly became tinged with shyness.

"We finally have time alone with Brother Heng, how can we let others disturb us?"

"Boom——"

The rain was so heavy that it hit my face so hard that I couldn't even open my eyes.

Shen Mianzhi looked back at the redwoods. The rain wasn't going to stop anytime soon. She was just a dumb little girl, how could she build a house? With such a strong wind, the leaves on the roof should have been blown away long ago, right?

She felt a little uneasy. Brother Heng had been badly injured. She wondered if he could survive for another two days. What would she do if he died?

Shen Mianzhi ran towards the mangroves in a panic, stumbling.

"Brother Heng..."

The sudden rainstorm made Zhou Yanheng suffer terribly. Just now, the thatched hut on the roof suddenly collapsed. If he had not reacted quickly, he would have been buried in the pile of grass and trees.

Although he survived, the wound that had just been bandaged was torn open, and he felt a faint burning and tearing sensation.

If he continues like this, he will be ruined sooner or later.

Zhou Yanheng let out a low gasp, gritted his teeth, raised his upper body, and crawled deeper into the woods.

"Brother Heng..."

Zhou Yanheng's eyes paused slightly, and before he could react, a figure suddenly squeezed into his arms, grabbed his arm and supported his body.

"I'll help you."

Zhou Yanheng was silent for a moment, then wrapped his hands around the round shoulders and put the weight of his entire body on them.

Shen Mianzhi's face turned pale, but he said nothing. He gritted his teeth and supported Zhou Yanheng to move step by step into the dense forest.

The foliage in the dense forest is relatively lush, but it can only weaken the rain and cannot completely protect against it.

Shen Mianzhi had already been soaked on the way here, and Zhou Yanheng was not much better off. His thin clothes could not block the warmth of his skin at all. Their bodies were intertwined, and they understood each other tacitly.

"..."

Zhou Yanheng is a veteran in the world of flowers, and the atmosphere has no effect on him at all. But Shen Mianzhi, her whole body turned red like a boiled shrimp or crab, and she didn't even dare to raise her head while moving.

After finally helping Zhou Yanheng sit down, Shen Mianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to stand up, Zhou Yanheng gently held her hand, "Zhizhi~"

Shen Mianzhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head with a look of surprise.

Zhou Yanheng carelessly stroked the pulse on her wrist, "No news from outside yet?"

Shen Mianzhi's eyelids trembled slightly. She could feel that Zhou Yanheng's fingertips were very cold, colder than rain. The low temperature was the body's warning.

She shook her head, the rain slowly sliding down her porcelain-white face, her eyes extremely innocent, "I'm sorry, Brother Heng, I clearly left the Shen family's secret code, but I don't know why there is no news at all."

"Shall we wait a little longer? Perhaps someone will come to rescue us tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I will never abandon you. No matter what, we will go out together."

Xiangying at that time.

The sky is clear and the cicadas are chirping on the country roads.

The bluestone corridor was baked white by the scorching midday sun, emitting twisted heat waves.

Shen Qiangui is the chairman of the National Assembly and the eldest son of the family. When the uncles and aunts in the Shen family's old house heard that he was coming, they all waited outside the old courtyard, sweating profusely in the sun, to welcome him.

"Master, they are almost here."

Shen Lanxi raised his feet and walked through the gate against the light. He walked very steadily, and each step he took landed precisely in the gap between the stones.

The sunlight was dazzling, but there was no discomfort on his face. His eyelashes were drooping, covering up all the emotions in his eyes, leaving only an indifference that kept people at a distance.

Ever since Shen Lanxi showed his might last time, the elders in the clan have been very cautious in front of him, and now they were all surprised to see him.

Although Shen Qian is the eldest son, his status in the eyes of these clan members is far inferior to that of Shen Lanxi, the eldest grandson. Logically, Shen Lanxi does not need to follow them to the door to greet them in person.

Could it be that the rumors about Jinggang are false, and the relationship between the first and second wives is not as bad as the outside world says?

Before anyone could figure it out, a car horn was heard not far away.

In a blink of an eye, a long black dragon with no end in sight stopped in front of the old house in an orderly manner.

The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door. Shen Qian and Shen Yuan were the first to get out of the car.

"Oh wow~" Gao Zhi slowly came forward and said with a sigh, "The ones who should come didn't come, and the two who shouldn't come came~"

Just as he finished speaking, the black car door behind him slowly opened and a foot stretched out.

The slender ankles and the cool white skin color were almost blinding under the direct sunlight.

Shen Lanxi's lips curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible ripple spread across her calm eyes before quickly calming down.
