This matter could not be interfered with. Without Ye Chu, he would not find the person he wished to seek.
The sky was getting brighter.
Ye Chu slept, but her expression was a bit languish for no reason. She did not have any energy when eating breakfast either. Bruce asked, “Did you not sleep well last night?”
“I slept really well, all the way till daybreak. I don’t know why, but I just don’t have energy.” She yawned again, looking like she was going to fall asleep. Bruce did not share his plan with Ye Chu either. He smiled as he caressed Ye Chu’s hair. “Since you are tired, go back to sleep.”
“Aren’t we going out to the sea to exchange Ye Tingyun for Yang Ping today?”
“Yes!”
“I want to go too.”
“You are tired and sickly. Just sleep on the island. Leave these things to us men.”
“I can’t go because I’m a woman?”
“That’s not true.”
“Then it’s fine.”
Bruce had no choice but to say, “Ah Chu, we are exchanging on the island. There’s a change in circumstances.”
“Why?”
Bruce said, “Ye Ling already knows our location. He is at the sea territory ten kilometers away. I’m afraid they will cheat if we exchange at sea.”
“How did they know?”
“I don’t know either.”
Ye Chu had some suspicions, but she did not dwell on it further. “Anyway, you did not plan to kill Ye Tingyun. He had also said to let bygones be bygones. The other party will give us Yang Ping, and you will give them Ye Tingyun. Don’t be overly paranoid.”
“Yes!” said Bruce. “Hopefully so!”
Ye Tingyun did not sleep for half of the night, yet he was high in energy. Ye Chu yawned lazily and bumped into Ye Tingyun. She waved her hand. “You can return home today. You must be happy. You can finally be far away from us pirates.”
Ye Tingyun looked at her deeply. “Yes, happy.”
Ye Chu scratched her head. As she looked at his body that was full of wounds, she could not help but feel a bit guilty. “The next time you are a hostage, cooperate a little, and you won’t have to suffer any injuries.”
She seemed to have stabbed him quite a few times.
If he cooperated from the start, he would not even have to spill a single drop of blood.
Ye Tingyun smiled. “Yes, I have learned my lesson.”
He paused and was firm. “There will be no next time!”
“Life is unpredictable. Who knows?” Ye Chu did not seem reluctant to part at all. “Then, goodbye.”
Ye Tingyun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile. “Who knows, we may meet each other regularly in the future.”
“No.” Ye Chu’s smile was exceptionally bright under the sunlight. “If we meet regularly, it implies that you will be a prisoner of the pirates. Do you hope so badly to be stabbed by me?”
“Only by becoming a prisoner will we meet regularly?”
“Otherwise?” Ye Chu said indignantly. “I will never leave the ocean anyway.”
Ye Tingyun said, “Perhaps, we can meet each other regularly on land.”
“Impossible!”
Ye Tingyun said lightly, “Borrowing what you said: life is unpredictable. Who knows?”
Ye Chu looked at him in puzzlement, not understanding what he meant. She only felt that his words hid another meaning, but her instincts informed her that there was danger. Living on the ocean for so many years and facing dangers, she had a very sensitive instinct. This was like a brief period of peace before the storm struck.
What danger could he pose, so heavily injured like this?
He was gentle and good-tempered. He probably did not have any wicked intentions.
“Ye Tingyun, what… do you mean?”
Ye Tingyun said, “Since I have to leave suddenly, I’m a bit reluctant to part.”
“You are crazy!” Ye Chu scoffed. “You were interrogated and tortured every day in our hands. How can you be reluctant to part? Are you a masochist?”
