All he could think of was that it was only possible to send Fu Sinian a message that night when he deliberately set fire to Shi Qian.
Fu Sinian had gone to his residence, so it was very likely that Shi Qian had left clues for Fu Sinian at his residence.
He didn’t dare to be careless. Perhaps Shi Qian had also left some secret mark on the island that only Fu Sinian could discover. The two of them were communicating in a way that outsiders didn’t know.
Logic told him that he could not delay any longer. It was best to leave with Shi Qian as soon as possible.
“Arthur!” Shi Qian’s voice interrupted Arthur’s thoughts.
He looked in Shi Qian’s direction and saw her happily pointing in a direction. “I found another coconut tree with several coconuts on it!”
Arthur wanted to walk over and take a look, but Shi Qian stopped him.
“Your leg is still injured. Don’t come over yet. I can get them alone.” With that, Shi Qian ran in that direction.
Arthur quickly followed, but because of his leg injury, he was a long distance behind Shi Qian.
When he saw Shi Qian again, she had already skillfully smashed a coconut with a rock.
Arthur sat on the rock and looked at Shi Qian from afar.
Shi Qian smashed two. When she turned around, she saw Arthur sitting there.
“The coconuts on this tree are much bigger than before! There must be a lot of coconut water. We don’t have to drink rainwater anymore.” Shi Qian happily shook the coconuts to tell Arthur the good news.
Arthur’s lips gradually curled into a smile.
He gave up on the idea of leaving with Shi Qian.
He wanted to stay here with her for two more days.
This place was like a garden of Eden.
It was the Garden of Eden that only belonged to him and Shi Qian.
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion, and Shi Qian jumped.
What happened? Why was there such a loud commotion?
Shi Qian immediately returned to Arthur’s side with the coconut.
“I want to take a look at the high ground.”
“Shi Qian, come back!” Arthur reached out to pull her back.
However, he was still a step too late.
Shi Qian climbed to a rock high up and saw a ship burning not far away on the sea.
Some bad memories instantly surged into her mind.
That day, after her mother was kidnapped by Su Ruoqing, the ship also let out a violent explosion like this. After that, flames soared into the sky and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Arthur climbed onto the rock and looked at the patch of firelight.
“Arthur, did your people have a run-in with Bliss? Can you tell if the exploding ship was yours or his?”
“It’s too far to tell.”
“Look, doesn’t that ship look like the one that just approached our island?” Shi Qian asked Arthur, pointing at the other ship that was unharmed.
“I think so. Let’s go down first.”
Shi Qian looked in that direction thoughtfully.
When she came down, she accidentally missed her footing and fell forward uncontrollably. Arthur quickly went catch her.
However, because he had injuries on his legs and body, he couldn’t grab her. He had no choice but to become her human cushion.
The two of them fell onto the hard rock together.
Shi Qian did not hurt from the fall. She quickly got up to check on Arthur.
Arthur’s face was pale from the pain. He could not sit up for a long time.
“Arthur, are you okay?” Shi Qian asked nervously.
Arthur shook his head, then slowly sat up.
Shi Qian saw that there was a protruding stone on his back. Even if it didn’t hurt his bones, it would definitely hurt like hell..
