Heart Stealer

In the shallow waters not far from the island, an elderly fishing couple were leisurely carrying out their daily fishing work.

Just then, a brand new and magnificent large fishing boat sped past them.

This big ship was like the overlord of the sea, making the old couple involuntarily want to get closer and admire it better.

The fisherman's wife said to her husband with envy on her face: "Old man, when we have more money, we will also buy a fishing boat as big as this." The old man smiled and agreed.

The fisherman and his wife admired the big fishing boat and expressed their admiration. Suddenly, the fisherman's wife cried out, "Old man, it's bad! Look, someone has jumped into the sea from that big boat! Hurry and save them!"

The fisherman looked in the direction his wife pointed and found someone struggling in the water ahead.

The situation was very urgent. The fisherman steered the small fishing boat without hesitation, breaking through the waves like an arrow.

When they approached the target, they saw that only the man's head was exposed and his life was in danger.

The fisherman's wife threw down a life buoy and shouted anxiously, "Hurry up and grab the life buoy!"

Zhang Sufang is an excellent swimmer. She was choked several times by the sea water and gradually lost her balance.

When she was about to fall into coma, Zhang Sufang saw a black object in front of her.

She instinctively held on to it tightly, as if it were a life-saving straw, and refused to let go easily.

The fisherman and his wife hurriedly rescued Zhang Sufang from the icy sea and put her on the small fishing boat.

Due to excessive shock and long-term fatigue, Zhang Sufang fell into a coma.

It took her a whole day and night to wake up.

When she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a simple bed.

Standing by the bed was a fisherman couple who looked to be in their fifties.

Zhang Sufang tried to struggle to get up, but she immediately felt soreness and weakness all over her body, making her unable to move.

Seeing this, the woman hurried forward, gently supported Zhang Sufang, and gestured for her to lie back on the bed.

"Girl, you are still very weak, so please don't move around." The woman said with concern.

"Auntie, where is this place? Is it far from the mainland?" Zhang Sufang asked in a very weak voice after lying down again.

"Girl, this place is still hundreds of kilometers away from the land," the woman replied.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Sufang's mood instantly plummeted.

Just then, a young woman about 28 years old came in with a bowl of steaming white porridge.

Following closely behind her was a little boy about four or five years old.

The little boy hid behind his mother shyly, staring at the stranger lying on the bed with curiosity and timidity.

"Mom, the porridge is ready." The young daughter-in-law carefully handed the bowl of porridge to the woman sitting at the head of the bed, and then stood aside silently, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Come, girl, have some porridge first."

The fisherman's wife scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Afang. Zhang Sufang shook her head and turned her face away.

"Miss, is this porridge not to your liking? What do you like to eat? I'll ask my daughter-in-law to cook it for you."

Zhang Sufang felt very sorry. She whispered to the fisherman's wife, "Thank you, Auntie. I have no appetite at all now. I really can't eat anything."

Seeing this, the fisherman's wife anxiously advised: "Girl, you haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night. How can your body bear this? You can't go without food!"

When Zhang Sufang heard this, she struggled to sit up.

She held the fisherman's wife's hand tightly and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Auntie, I have to go home. Please take me home!"

"Girl, if you want to go home, you have to wait until you recover. You are so weak now, how can you withstand a long journey?" The fisherman's wife explained with a helpless sigh.

"Child, we're not trying to stop you from going home. It's just that although there are more than a dozen families living on our small island, there are no large ships capable of sailing far. When a large fishing boat passes by one day, you can go back with them."

Zhang Sufang nodded silently. Seeing that she no longer insisted, the fisherman's wife brought the bowl of steaming white porridge over and patiently fed her mouthful by mouthful.

After Zhang Sufang slowly finished a bowl of white porridge, she felt her body gradually regaining strength. Her originally pale face began to turn a little red, and she looked much more energetic than before.

She breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the bed, and closed her eyes. She thought of her parents and then of Xiao Tuobang.

When Xiao Tuobang's family just moved to Platycodon Town, Zhang Sufang took a liking to the little boy who came back from the city.

Zhang Sufang always pestered her father to take her to the Xiao family to play.

Whenever this happened, the well-behaved and sensible Xiao Tuobang would generously share the toys he brought back from the city with her.

Time flies, and the naive little girl has now reached the age of falling in love.

My father's youngest apprentice, Wu Xin, would often boldly express his love to Zhang Sufang.

Deep down, Zhang Sufang has always liked Xiao Tuobang, which makes her very distressed.

When Xiao Tuobang was eighteen years old, he successfully passed the entrance examination to a university in the city.

At the same time, Wu Xin began to pursue Zhang Sufang passionately.

Whenever Zhang Sufang went to Xiao's noodle shop to help, Wu Xin would always make sarcastic remarks to her.

One day, Zhang Sufang went to Xiao's noodle shop to help out again. There were quite a lot of customers, so it was already late when she got home.

When she passed a dark intersection, she happened to meet the drunk Wu Xin, who took advantage of his drunkenness to try to touch Zhang Sufang.

Zhang Sufang usually used a lot of foul language and was very strong, and Wu Xin was drunk, so he was no match for Zhang Sufang.

Zhang Sufang pushed hard, and Wu Xin staggered back several steps. She still felt unsatisfied, so she opened her right hand and attacked Wu Xin's face left and right.

She vented all her resentment and dissatisfaction towards Wu Xin.

Wu Xin felt a pain on his face and immediately sobered up a bit.

"Junior sister, how can you treat me like this? In what way am I inferior to Xiao Tuobang? I am no less capable than him at fishing. Is it just because he is a college student?" Wu Xin's tone was filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Senior brother, I don't love you, that's all. Do I need a reason not to love you?" Zhang Sufang's voice was cold and firm.

"Junior sister, don't be too proud too soon. Xiao Tuobang is a college student now. There are many beautiful girls in the city. How could he fall for a country girl like you?" Wu Xinxin said in a sarcastic tone.

"You're talking nonsense, Tuobang is not that kind of person!"

A flash of anger flashed in Zhang Sufang's eyes. She glared at Wu Xin and raised her voice by an octave.

"See, I was right. Why waste your feelings on Xiao Tuobang? You might as well be with me as soon as possible..." Wu Xin said, reaching out to touch Zhang Sufang again.

Seeing this, Zhang Sufang felt sick. She took the opportunity to kick Wu Xin in the crotch. Wu Xin immediately squatted on the ground, covering his crotch with his hands, a painful expression on his face.

Zhang Sufang was so angry that her teeth itched. She pointed at Wu Xin and said angrily, "Brother, if you don't want my parents to know about what happened today, you'd better stay away from me in the future!"

"Junior sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I will never do it again." Wu Xin's tone was pleading. He knew that if Zhang Sufang's parents knew about this, he would definitely be punished.

In Zhang Sufang's heart, she worried every day that what Wu Xin said would become reality.

Fortunately, after Xiao Tuobang graduated from university, he gave up his job in the city and stayed with Zhang Sufang.

Zhang Sufang rested on the island for a few days and gradually recovered.

Every day she looked forward to the boat passing by the island and taking her home.
