Su Ting shook his head and replied, “I didn’t see him, but I remember we were drifting in the same direction. We just parted ways upon reaching the coast.”

No sooner had Su Ting’s words fallen than Song Ling emerged from behind a tree.

Song Ling’s gaze burned as he looked at Gu Dai, speaking softly, “I didn’t expect you to care about me so much.”

Gu Dai’s expression remained unchanged as he responded indifferently, “After all, you fell into the sea trying to save me. It would be too heartless of me not to care.”

Su Ting handed a fruit to Gu Dai, urging gently, “Sis, this fruit is also delicious. Try it.”

Gu Dai smiled and took the fruit from his hand.

Song Ling watched their affectionate and natural interactions, his expression darkening slightly.

He had just arrived in time to see Su Ting giving Gu Dai mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

The overlapping figures of the two had stabbed his eyes, and Song Ling hated himself for not finding Gu Dai sooner, arriving just a step late.

Song Ling’s stomach growled.

Gu Dai turned to look at Song Ling, pursed her lips, and after a few seconds of hesitation, suggested, “The fruits on that tree over there are quite tasty. You could pick some.”

Song Ling looked towards the tree and saw the fruits Su Ting had picked.

He snorted coldly, turned, and walked away, returning shortly with several rosy red fruits in his hand.

Song Ling glanced at Gu Dai and Su Ting and said, “I don’t like those fruits. I prefer these.”

Gu Dai glanced at the fruits and looked away. Just as Song Ling was about to eat one, Gu Dai spoke leisurely, “Your fruit is poisonous.”

Song Ling paused in his action, asking instinctively, “How can you be so sure?”

Gu Dai replied casually, “Just a guess.”

Song Ling scoffed.

Gu Dai added, “If you don’t believe me, you can try one and see if you get poisoned.”

After a moment of hesitation, Song Ling did not eat the fruit, but the fruits Su Ting had picked seemed unappealing to him.

Thus, even though he was starving, he let his stomach rumble on.

After eating, Gu Dai looked at Su Ting and inquired, “When did my Third

Brother say he would come to pick us up?”

Su Ting made a call and answered, “About two more hours.”

Gu Dai nodded in understanding and then asked Su Ting to check their current location, discovering they were on Cloud Island.

Gu Dai lowered her eyes and then, looking up with sparkling eyes, suggested, “Let’s take this time to explore a bit.”

Su Ting had no objections and nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

Song Ling didn’t say anything, simply following quietly behind Gu Dai and Su Ting.

He kept telling himself that he was only following them to use Gu Dai’s rescue team to leave.

Just as he thought this, his phone in his pocket rang. It was Zhao Xuan calling.

Zhao Xuan said, “President Song, are you alright? Send me your location, and I’ll come to rescue you right away.”

Song Ling’s face darkened, and he whispered, “I’m safe now. No need to come looking for me.”

Zhao Xuan, looking puzzled at the phone call that ended in less than a minute, hurriedly spoke up, “Young Master Meng Zhi, I suspect our President Song has been kidnapped. Can I go on your plane to find him?”

After wandering around Cloud Island, Gu Dai and the others saw nothing but vast emptiness.

Su Ting looked around excitedly and said, “Sister, there seems to be a house over there!”

Following Su Ting’s gaze, Gu Dai also saw the house and nodded, “Let’s go take a look.”

As they approached the house, Gu Dai saw an elderly woman sitting in front of it.

The old lady’s hair was gray, and her face was lined with wrinkles. Her gentle smile was inviting and comforting.

Gu Dai froze, her mouth agape, and after a long while, she softly called out, “Grandma.”

The old woman, Xu Huan, hearing the familiar voice, opened her eyes and saw Gu Dai, her voice filled with excitement, “Daidai!”

Tears welled up in Gu Dai’s eyes as she gently nodded.

Xu Huan led the three into the room.

Looking around the room with its simple furnishings, Gu Dai turned to Xu Huan and asked, “Grandma, weren’t you wandering the world? Why have you settled on Cloud Island?”

Xu Huan sighed and gazed out the window, softly explaining, “After your parents passed away, I’ve been searching for answers everywhere. Eventually, I followed the clues here, but then they ran cold. I didn’t want to give up, so I stayed here, hoping to find something one day..”
