New Zealand.

A remote fishing village.

The tide surges along the coastline, and the silver waves glow white in the sun. Occasionally, fish jump out of the sea, making a huge sound.

There were seagulls circling in the sky, and there was no end of the coast in sight.

There are a few sparse homes on the seaside.

The houses are all very low, and most of them are not very wealthy.

It has been three months since Xiao Zi was brought here from Happy Island by Zhou Hongming.

Her mental state was not very good, she always had nightmares at night, and even scary scenes often appeared in her mind during the day.

Zhou Hongming took her drifting in the Atlantic Ocean, and finally escaped all the checks and drifted to the New Zealand Islands.

Xiao Zi sat in front of the house and looked up at the sun. It was winter in New Zealand at this time.

Very cold.

This warm sunshine became her only comfort in her cold life.

She doesn't even know where this is in New Zealand.

Except for some villagers, she saw no one.

She couldn't escape Zhou Hongming's clutches. When she was on Happy Island, she never thought of escaping.

So what if you escape?

She is still the loneliest grass in the world, inconspicuous and helpless.

The sun was very warm. Xiao Zi closed her eyes and leaned on the chair. The sound of roaring waves could be heard in her ears.

She was thinking about Jiang Shu again.

Jiang Shu was a wound in her heart, and every time she thought about it... she felt unbearable pain.

Xiao Zi's health is not very good. Since the last incident, she has become even more depressed and can't cheer up every day.

"Cough cough, cough cough..." She kept coughing, and the cold wind from the seaside choked her throat.

Just as she kept coughing, Zhou Hongming came back from shopping for groceries.

He was dressed very casually, with a black down jacket covering his tall and slender figure, a gray scarf around his neck, and a cold chill on his sharp and three-dimensional facial features.

He looked at Xiao Zi, who was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, and frowned: "Why don't you stay in the house? It's very cold outside."

"But there's sun outside." She didn't even open her eyes.

Zhou Hongming knew that she was stubborn, so he didn't care about her. He took a thick blanket from the house and covered her with it: "Don't catch a cold. You haven't recovered from your cold."

Xiao Zi's body shook for a moment, and then she slowly opened her eyes. The man in front of her had a tired face, with the look of a desperado, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his thin lips had no warmth at all.

She said nothing and let the blanket cover her body.

Zhou Hongming seemed to be used to her attitude. Ever since he brought her here, she rarely spoke.

Sometimes when he gets pushy, he will yell at her loudly, but she still looks calm and doesn't care at all about his happiness or displeasure.

Zhou Hongming had nothing to do with her.

It was the same today, she didn't care about him at all.

"I bought your favorite pork ribs today. Do you like braised or deep-fried? Or sweet and sour, salt and pepper?" Zhou Hongming half-bent down, his eyes falling on Xiao Zi's fair and gentle face.

She looks good without makeup. Although the weather here is not very good due to the wind and rain, her skin is still very good.

Zhou Hongming looked at her and approached her.

He wanted to kiss her.

This is an irrepressible impulse and the most instinctive reaction.

"Anything is fine." Xiao Zi still responded calmly, closing her eyes and letting the sun shine on her face.

It seems that only the elderly like to bask in the sun in winter.

But she thought, she liked it too.

Her heart has long since grown old.
