Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111: Five Years Ago
“I know,” He Nan nodded. “I’ve seen him.”
Everyone was startled by his words; only Shen Mianmian wasn’t surprised. From the mont she saw Tang Ling, she had guessed sothing.
“You’ve t Xiaobei at the restaurant, haven’t you?”
“Mhm.” He Nan didn’t hide it and directly nodded in acknowledgnt. “You’ve taught him well; he’s as clever as you.”
Shen Mianmian didn’t speak, but Ruan Yiqian furrowed his brows. “Xiaonan, since you’ve been back for a while, why didn’t you co out and et us? We even thought Mianmian was having a ntal breakdown, and my dad arranged a psychologist for her.”
Ruan Yiqian was happy that He Nan had returned, but he couldn’t help feeling indignant for his sister, who had suffered during these years knowing He Nan was back but hadn’t recognized her imdiately.
“I was injured at the ti and wanted to wait until I recovered before seeing you all,” He Nan said, his gaze fixed on Shen Mianmian.
Hearing about his injury, Ruan Yiqian imdiately grew worried. “You were injured? Is it better now? No wonder you suffered so much recently; being injured, you should have inford us so we could take care of you.”
Ruan Yiqian, usually calm, was excited and happy to be dealing with He Nan’s situation, so he couldn’t remain composed.
“It’s nothing too serious anymore,” He Nan briefly summarized his injuries.
“What exactly happened back then?” asked the silent elder He, unable to hold back his curiosity about the past events.
He Nan’s eyes flickered as he began, “That year, the plane suddenly malfunctioned and crashed into the sea. Only ten of us survived. Later, clinging to the plane debris, we drifted to a deserted island…”
At the ti, everyone was injured, two severely. Without dicine or food, they didn’t survive. After two days on the island, they were dead.
He Nan’s injuries were also severe, but his strong constitution allowed him to survive.
Of the last ten people, only eight remained. Over the five years, one went insane and eventually committed suicide.
The remaining seven tried many ways to get rescued, even attempting to return on a homade bamboo raft, but all efforts failed. Only He Nan never gave up.
This ti, when he decided to return, five of them didn’t want to risk it and stayed behind.
He understood their thinking—simple: if He Nan survived, he would find help for them. If not, they would die together with He Nan.
Plainly speaking, they were unwilling to risk it.
Thus, only He Nan, accompanying Tang Ling and her daughter, and another man, returned.
They floated at sea for several days. That man, feverish, was unconscious all the while. Amid their drifting, they even encountered sharks; that was when He Nan got injured.
And the news of their return broke out suddenly—it was that unconscious man who exposed it when he woke up in the hospital.
Hearing his story, everyone felt a surge of shock, although he briefly glossed over the events of the five years. Yet, the scars large and small on his arm spoke volus of the hardships he had endured.
Fu Hua’s eyes reddened, her usually strong self quietly wiping away tears.
Shen Mianmian also sniffled and, in the end, couldn’t help herself; she gave He Nan a hug.
