The sky was very gloomy, gray clouds blocked the only ray of sunshine in the early morning, and mist enveloped the entire sea, and the line between water and sky disappeared in an instant.

As the sea breeze blows in your face, the air is mixed with a moist smell of salt. It is not pungent, but it is very unpleasant.

A coldness like ice thorns hit her, and Qiao Qiao closed her shawl. After standing here for too long, her lips turned a faint dark blue.

The boss next to him saw Qiao Qiao's condition and kindly reminded her: "Go inside, it's facing the wind, it's too cold."

Qiao Qiao was indeed very cold, her whole body, from head to toe, was almost numb from the cold.

She shook her head and exhaled a breath: "I'm waiting for someone."

The boss glanced at the mail ship in the distance and asked, "Is the person you are waiting for going to sea today?"

The boss is a fisherman here, and he knows exactly what kind of environment at sea you can go to sea in, and what kind of environment you can't go to sea in.

In bad weather conditions, if he said that the chance of coming back after going to the high seas is very small, then it must be very dangerous.

Qiao Qiao could see her boss's worry and forced a smile on her lips: "The friend I'm waiting for is a foreigner. He comes from the northwest and has never seen the sea."

The boss laughed and said: "You are risking your life to accompany a gentleman. Then wait a moment and I will ask my wife to get you a thicker shawl. You are wearing such thin clothes. If you blow it for a while longer, you will definitely go to the hospital tomorrow."

Qiao Qiao did not refuse the boss's kindness.

She nodded and thanked her first: "Sorry for the trouble."

The boss waved his hand, turned around and walked in: "You spent money, you should."

Qiao Qiao looked at the back of her boss as he entered, with a trace of bitterness on the corner of her lips. There was a chair next to her, so she pulled it over and sat down. She closed the shawl tightly with her hands and sat like this.

After a while, the landlady came out wrapped in a thick down jacket. She also held a coat in her hand. She walked over and without saying a word, she unfolded the coat and wrapped it around Qiao Qiao: "It's foggy on the sea now, it's too cold.

Come on, come inside with me?"

Qiao Qiao turned around and saw the kind face of the landlady. She raised her voice in the wind and answered, "I'm waiting for someone."

"I know. The man in my house just told me that you didn't want to go in because you were waiting for someone. Show me the photo and I will help you guard it. You go inside first to warm yourself up."

The landlady has good intentions.

In particular, Qiao Qiao is too thin and looks too frail, and her lips are tinged with dark blue after being blown by the sea breeze for a long time, which is particularly distressing.

Qiao Qiao shook her head: "Don't bother, I'll just wait by myself. Thank you for your coat. I'm very warm now. Please don't worry."

The landlady knows it's useless to say anything.

He took Qiao Qiao's hand and rubbed it for her. After rubbing it to warm it up a little, he put it into his coat: "If you can't bear the cold, come in quickly."

Qiao Qiao responded: "Okay."

After the landlady went in, she said to her husband: "Set a time and go out to check on her every ten minutes. Her body is so thin. I'm worried about fainting from the cold outside."

The boss agreed very much upon hearing this: "Okay, I'll set a time first."

After the first ten minutes, the landlady went out and took a look. She was sitting on the chair and nothing happened.

After the second ten minutes, the proprietress went out again with a glass of hot water and took a look. She was still sitting on the chair.

The third ten minutes...

The fourth ten minutes...

An hour later, the proprietress poured out another cup of hot water. When she got closer, she found that the wind had dropped a lot and most of the fog on the sea had dispersed.

Seeing that the fog had lifted, the landlady felt better. She handed the hot water to Qiao Qiao and said, "Miss Qiao, the fog on the sea has lifted."

The hot water was handed to me in the air, but no one answered it.

The landlady looked down and saw that Qiao Qiao had her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. She thought for a few seconds and felt something was wrong. She leaned over and shouted, "Miss Qiao...? Miss Qiao, can you hear me? Qiao?"

Miss?"

No response.

The face of the landlady changed, and she quickly shouted inside: "Old Cheng, come out quickly, he's fainted."

The boss ran out after hearing the sound, saw Qiao Qiao with her eyes closed and her face pale, and sighed: "I refused to come in, but I'm fine now."

The landlady stretched her hands and pushed him: "Okay, everyone has fainted. Don't make sarcastic remarks here. Send him to the hospital first."

"I'll do it." The boss stepped forward.

It's definitely not possible to hold him up, he can only be carried out first.

Just when the boss was about to hug Qiao Qiao, a voice came: "Don't touch her."

Hearing this, the boss and the boss's wife raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a man in a black coat standing at the entrance.

The boss turned to look at the unconscious Qiao Qiao, then looked at the man standing at the door, and asked: "Are you Miss Qiao's friend?"

The landlady lowered her voice and said, "With that look and temperament, I can see that he is the person Miss Qiao is waiting for."

The boss said: "It looks like it to me."

In the few seconds since the man came over, his eyes had been fixed on the unconscious Qiao Qiao. When he came closer, he leaned over and held Qiao Qiao's face. It was very cold and her lips were dark-colored.

Worried that something might happen, he stretched out his hand to check Qiao Qiao's breathing.

The boss said angrily: "She was just in a coma. I was just about to take her to the hospital and you came. You should be the friend Miss Qiao was waiting for, right?"

Bai Chen looked up at his boss and said, "Yes."

The windbreaker on his body is exuding moisture, his hair is slightly messy, and his breathing is a little short. He must have been anxious on the way here.

I was really in a hurry and drove over here.

Bai Chen was about to pick up the unconscious Qiao Qiao.

The landlady was more cautious and asked before Bai Chen picked up Qiao Qiao: "Do you know her full name?"

Bai Chen: "Qiao Qiao."

The landlady felt relieved now: "Then take her to the hospital quickly."

Bai Chen said: "Sorry to trouble you."

"It's no trouble, Miss Qiao gave me the money." The boss said hurriedly.

Bai Chen nodded, hugged Qiao Qiao and left.

Coming down from the seaside loft, the damp and salty sea breeze hit his face more and more. Bai Chen lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. The down jacket on his body was not wrapped well, and the wind got in.

He quickened his steps and returned to the car as quickly as possible with Qiao Qiao in his arms.

But he took a step slower. Not far away from the attic, the person in his arms moved his eyelids, and his dark eyelashes trembled slightly.

Bai Chen slowed down his pace and looked down at the person in his arms: "Wake up."

Qiao Qiao's eyes were full of confusion. She looked around, and finally looked at Bai Chen. When she opened her mouth to speak, she felt as if her throat had been stabbed by a knife. It took a long time before she uttered a weak voice: "Why are you here?

"

Bai Chen: "Because I knew you would come today, I came here specifically to find you."

Qiao Qiao's voice was weak: "Bai Chen, please put me down first."

Bai Chen did not follow her wishes and reminded her: "You are very weak now. I will send you to the hospital first."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace.

Qiao Qiao coughed slightly, her face looking uncomfortable: "Put me down first."

Bai Chen wouldn't listen to her: "Let's talk when we get to the car. You are cold all over now. Let's go back to the car and turn on the air conditioner to give you some relief."

"If you don't want to go back to the car, please let me down first."

"no."

"I said, put me down." Qiao Qiao's tone became much darker.

Bai Chen lowered his head and looked into her stubborn eyes. Although he was angry, he couldn't tell the truth because he was not an important person to her and could not control her.

The road surface is flat and far away from the seaside, so the salty humidity is much lighter.

Having come this far, Bai Chen insisted on carrying Qiao Qiao back and putting her in the car to feel more at ease.

When Bai Chen leaned in and put the seat belt on Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao said, "I will hate you, I will hate you forever."

Bai Chen's hands froze.

Qiao Qiao turned to look at him: "I will do what I say."

In the end, Bai Chen compromised and let Qiao Qiao get off the bus.

However, when getting out of the car, Qiao Qiao deliberately left her cell phone in the car. Bai Chen saw it, and when he was about to remind her, Qiao Qiao had already quickened her pace and walked back.

Qiao Qiao has now regained some clarity, but her feet are a little wobbly, and she can barely stand still with Bai Chen's help.

She said nothing and just walked to the beach.

Bai Chen did not stop or pull her, but followed her silently: "Are you going to wait for him to come back?"

Qiao Qiao walked very slowly: "I want to stop him from getting on the mail ship."
