Half an hour later, the warship stopped near the deserted island. As soon as the gangway reached the shore, Situ Yan rushed down immediately.
At this moment, Jiang Feng had been waiting on the shore for quite some time.
Seeing that Jiang Feng, indeed a living person, was still alive, Situ Yan couldn't hold back her tears no matter how hard she tried as she rushed over!
"You bastard, made us search for so long, and you actually ran off to such a distant deserted island? How is it you're not dead?!"
This woman's way of expressing concern was different from others. She rushed forward and struck Jiang Feng with her fists, then stood there with endless grievance in her eyes, tears kept falling.
For the past four days, she was worried sick, desperate, and if it wasn't for her strong insistence on this final voyage, she would have forever missed Jiang Feng. Fortunately, she never gave up hope and persisted until now!
Jiang Feng looked at Situ Yan's tear-streaked face, feeling somewhat nostalgic, and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
"Hmph, just sorry won't cut it? You're something else, risking your life to save others, huh?" Situ Yan yelled, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances of these days onto Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng kept quiet, smiling slightly as he watched her.
Situ Yan gazed deeply at Jiang Feng, truly wanting to throw herself into his arms at that moment, but she held back. She knew it wasn't appropriate, as everyone, led by Situ Jingjie, was watching her from the ship!
In fact, Situ Jingjie was indeed watching them, scrutinizing Jiang Feng more carefully.
He wanted to see clearly what was so extraordinary about the man who haunted his sister's dreams, caused her heartbreak, and made her willing to change her mind and comply with the family's wishes.
Jiang Feng sensed Situ Jingjie's gaze and looked back towards the ship, feeling that Situ Jingjie's expression was filled with a complex and indescribable meaning.
"By the way, why are you the only one here? Where's Chu Renxiong's daughter?" Situ Yan suddenly asked.
"She's still up the mountain. Get some clothes suitable for women and come with me," Jiang Feng calmly said to Situ Yan.
"Clothes?"
Situ Yan didn't quite understand, but still complied immediately. She returned to the ship and brought down two sets of military uniforms suitable for women from the storage room.
At this point, the soldiers from the ship also came ashore. The medical officer responsible for the rescue took out some basic equipment, conducting an onsite check of Jiang Feng's physical condition. Once assured that he was fine, he was completely relieved.
Then, Jiang Feng instructed everyone to wait there, while he took Situ Yan up the mountain to fetch Chu Feifei.
...
Inside the cave, Chu Feifei was waiting quite embarrassedly. When Situ Yan entered and saw what Chu Feifei was wearing, she was directly stunned!
Had Chu Feifei been wearing these leaf clothes all these days?
They were barely any better than wearing nothing...
Looking at the well-arranged cave, with the two sleeping mats and grass blankets haphazardly piled together, could it be that the two of them had been sleeping together these past few days?
Situ Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable, inexplicably thinking they might have crossed that line, feeling both jealousy and unwarranted envy towards Chu Feifei.
After Jiang Feng stepped aside, Chu Feifei put on the military uniform that Situ Yan brought.
To her surprise, it fit quite well, except for her little pink-white feet still clad in those rudimentary straw sandals. Her whole outfit looked just like a youthful and vibrant young female soldier.
After that, the three of them left the cave together and returned to the side of the warship.
"People have been rescued, let's head back." Situ Yan said plainly to Situ Jingjie.
"Alright." Situ Jingjie glanced at Situ Yan and then at Jiang Feng behind her, taking out a set of men's military uniform and smilingly said, "Why don't you put this on too?"
Jiang Feng frowned but didn't refuse, taking it and asked Situ Jingjie in return, "And you are?"
"Situ Yan's cousin." Situ Jingjie smiled, his words carrying a deeper meaning: "I've heard a lot about you, my cousin has been quite worried about you these days!"
"Stop it!" Situ Yan caught the double entendre, her face slightly reddened yet heart slightly chilled: "Let's get on the ship."
Back on the warship, Situ Jingjie ordered the first officer to set sail for home.
With the sound of the anchor being lifted, it marked the complete end of Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei's survival life on the deserted island.
Chu Feifei gazed deeply at the ever-diminishing small mountain and cave, her eyes showing a trace of reluctance.
Later, the rescue doctor approached, conducting a health check on Chu Feifei, only to find her condition was a bit worse than Jiang Feng's, but with proper care, she'd fully recover.
During this time, Jiang Feng came to the deck intentionally and asked Situ Yan, "You're from a military family?"
"Yes. When I was little, my family's biggest wish was for me to wear the uniform too. But I didn't want to follow the life they planned out for me, so I put on a uniform on my own. Wouldn't that make me quite rebellious?"
At this moment, Situ Yan leaned against the deck railing, letting the sea breeze blow her hair, revealing a slightly pale yet delicate charming face.
Her exquisitely sculpted features, without a hint of makeup, enough to captivate the world, coupled with her slender neck blown open by the sea breeze, drew a graceful curve connecting a perfect figure, everything was so just right, overall exuding waves of sensual grace, uniquely charming.
"Thank you for this time." Jiang Feng genuinely expressed his gratitude. No matter how much Situ Yan tried to hide it, Jiang Feng could see her fatigue and weariness.
"Thank you for what? You've saved me so many times, I owe you that much." Situ Yan gazed deeply at Jiang Feng: "However, I still want to ask you, if back then it wasn't Chu Feifei who was blown away by the typhoon, but me, would you have risked your life to save me as you did?"
She knew the answer was yes since she had experienced it when kidnapped by Tasha before, but she still wanted to hear it from Jiang Feng himself.
Sometimes, what a woman wants isn't just a promise, a certainty?
"I would." As expected, Jiang Feng answered without hesitation.
Situ Yan smiled, so joyfully, so contentedly, though with a touch of bittersweetness.
She hadn't really been in a relationship, if this could count as an experience, then Jiang Feng's words were the most touching she had ever heard.
That was enough.
Even if she had to pay with a lifetime, forever leaving Jiang Feng to marry someone she didn't like, it was worth it!
