Tong Airui knew she had upset Yi Luowa by bringing up Danton, so she quickly climbed into bed and hugged her tightly.
Sanye pulled the quilt down a bit, gently kissed her forehead, and said, "You’re still pregnant. You can’t keep dwelling on those unhappy thoughts."
Yi Luowa spoke with a heavy nasal voice, "Today, when I took a nap, I dreamt of Danton. He was drifting alone on the ocean, and he told : ’Sis, I’m cold! Sis, co save !’ I swam desperately, but just as my hand was about to touch him, a huge wave crashed down and swept us both apart."
Tong Airui sighed and said, "What you think during the day manifests in your dreams at night. You’ve had nothing to do these days, so you’re overthinking everything. Think about the three kids more, and you’ll feel better."
Yi Luowa let out a hum, "I’m still so young, yet I’m already the mother of three kids. The more I think about it, the less happy I feel!"
"Having kids young ans you recover faster. Once you have this one, we’ll seriously stop talking about more."
"You said the sa thing after I had Ziyan and Sangyu."
"That was then, this is now. Don’t you think the third one ca at just the right ti? Mom and Dad are feeling better physically and emotionally because of this child."
"He’s brought hope to Mom and Dad."
"Yeah, people need sothing to look forward to in life. This child is their hope."
"If we send the child to Mom and Dad to care for, do you think they’d agree?"
"They’re reasonable people; they’ll definitely agree."
Yi Luowa pursed her lips and closed her eyes. She told herself that for the sake of the child, she had to take care of herself.
While they slept, chaos was breaking out on a cruise ship traveling across the Eastern Ocean due to a little girl stirring up trouble.
At this mont, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was carrying a JS9 submachine gun on her shoulder, shouting at a group of n who were playing poker: "Do you even have a shred of humanity?! Soone’s dying, and you’re still sitting here playing cards! Do you believe I’ll empty a clip at all of you?!"
"He’s just a pirate. Dead is dead," said a handso young man, putting down his cards and tilting his head toward the girl. "An Yang, don’t tell you’re interested in him just because he’s good-looking?"
"Ruan Hanmo, just you wait. When we get ho, I’ll make sure Dad skins you alive!" The girl, furious, raised her submachine gun and fired a burst of bullets at the ceiling.
Everyone was stunned.
A middle-aged man shuddered in fright and muttered, "What kind of nonsense is this girl pulling? Let’s finish this round and get out of here quickly."
The girl walked over, holding the now-empty submachine gun, and jabbed the man in the ribs. "Xiao Zhuang, you’re not allowed to play anymore. Go and take care of that sick guy. If he dies, I’ll throw your wife and kids into the ocean to feed the turtles when we get ho!"
An Yang, stop ssing around!" Ruan Hanmo frowned as he looked at his younger sister.
Ruan An Yang snorted coldly, "I’m not ssing around! I’m saving lives! That man was brought onto our ship, and none of you even properly checked him. What’s that asly glucose going to do?!"
Xiao Zhuang said awkwardly, "An Yang, it’s not that we don’t want to save him. It’s just that we brought limited dical supplies on this trip. If we use them all on that pirate, what happens if one of us gets into trouble later and there’s no dicine left?"
"We’ve faced so many dangers along the way, and we’ve co out unscathed every ti. Just this ti, during the firefight with the pirates, none of us got hurt. Don’t use that as an excuse! I told you to go check on him, so go do it already. If I get hurt later, I won’t use any dicine. You can give my share to him."
Xiao Zhuang glanced at Ruan Hanmo, who frowned and gave a slight nod.
Seeing her brother nod, Ruan An Yang slung her gun back over her shoulder and grabbed Xiao Zhuang to drag him away.
Ruan Hanmo called out loudly as he watched his sister’s back, "An Yang, have you heard the story of the farr and the snake?"
Ruan An Yang turned back to glare at him angrily.
"He’s a pirate. They almost capsized our ship. If you save him and he recovers, what if he signals his companions and we get surrounded by pirates again?"
Ruan An Yang stared at her brother like he was an idiot. "We often deal with pirates. Have you ever seen one with skin that smooth and delicate?"
"If he’s not a pirate, then why was he on a pirate ship?"
"When he wakes up, why don’t you ask him yourself?!"
Xiao Zhuang sighed, "An Yang, he’s gravely injured. If I can’t save him, don’t bla ."
Ruan An Yang raised a hand and patted Xiao Zhuang’s shoulder. "Relax, I won’t take it out on you. But once we’re back on the island, I guarantee I’ll make things difficult for your wife and kids!"
