Sure enough, the thing Song Ge had been worried about happened.
The flight attendant was also in a tough spot. If they gave the parachute to the passenger, it meant one of them would die, and no one was willing to accept that.
There was little emotion on Zhai Cheng's face. He just put on the parachute properly.
"What are you doing?" Song Ge shouted.
Zhai Cheng just smiled and stroked Song Ge's face. "If I'm not around, you must live happily."
Tears streamed down Song Ge's face. She choked with sobs. "What nonsense are you talking about? It won't be like this. There must be a way."
She looked at the flight attendant for help. "Do you have any extra parachutes? Or can we share one?"
The flight attendant shook her head. "One parachute can't bear the weight of two people."
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
"You use the good parachute. I'll use this one," Zhai Cheng offered voluntarily.
Song Ge shook her head and hugged Zhai Cheng tightly. "No. If we're going to die, we'll die together." If Zhai Cheng was really gone, how could she be happy alone?
Zhai Cheng remained as calm as ever, as if it wasn't a big deal at all. He gently patted Song Ge on the shoulder and comforted her, "Okay. If we're going to die, we'll die together."
Only then did Song Ge let go of Zhai Cheng. She looked at him with tear - filled eyes.
Zhai Cheng kissed away the tears on her face and forced a smile. "You won't look good if you cry." Then he pushed Song Ge away and jumped out.
"No!" Song Ge reacted immediately and jumped out too.
Fortunately, the time difference between their jumps was not long. After Song Ge jumped, she successfully hugged Zhai Cheng who had already jumped.
The wind howled around them. Song Ge felt that the speed of the parachute had obviously increased.
Zhai Cheng wanted to say something, but the falling speed was too fast for him to speak. The two just hugged each other tightly.
They didn't know how much time had passed before they fell into a sea...
"Cough, cough." Song Ge coughed violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.
She remembered something and instinctively looked around. It was all sea. "Zhai Cheng? Zhai Cheng?" she called out, her voice hoarse.
She saw a dark figure and staggered towards it. It was Zhai Cheng.
She patted his face. "Zhai Cheng, wake up. Wake up."
The man showed no reaction at all. His face was pale. If it weren't for his weak breath, it would be hard to believe that he was still alive.
Song Ge laid him flat and pressed on his chest with both hands. She gave him mouth - to - mouth resuscitation.
You must be okay.
Don't leave me alone.
As Song Ge was doing the rescue, big tears fell on Zhai Cheng's body.
"Cough, cough." Zhai Cheng coughed and spat out all the sea water in his stomach.
Song Ge was overjoyed. She hugged him. "You're awake. You're finally awake."
Zhai Cheng came to his senses and hugged Song Ge tightly too. Thinking of her actions, he was deeply touched.
He pulled away from Song Ge a bit, then held the back of her head with one hand and kissed her passionately.
After a long time, Zhai Cheng reluctantly let go of Song Ge. Suddenly he laughed. "Are you stupid? Don't you know how to save your own life?"
Song Ge pouted and retorted, "I'm not stupid at all."
After saying that, they both laughed for no reason. They had decided that they were the ones who would walk through life together. No one and nothing could separate them.
"Where is this?" Song Ge looked around. Apart from the sea, there was only the island in front of them.
Naturally, Zhai Cheng didn't know either. Because of the fall, his phone, wallet, and passport were all gone.
He got up and pulled Song Ge along. "Don't worry. We'll find a way."
The two walked into the island in front of them together.
There were many small animals on the island, as well as natural trees. It seemed that the island was unpolluted.
Their clothes were wet and sticking to their bodies, which was very uncomfortable.
"Ah - choo." Song Ge sneezed.
Zhai Cheng naturally noticed. After they got on the island, he found some firewood and was going to learn how to make fire by rubbing sticks like the ancients.
Song Ge sat beside him. Seeing Zhai Cheng's serious look, she was amused.
Hearing her laughter, the hard - working Zhai Cheng stopped and was confused. "What are you laughing at?"
Song Ge laughed even louder because Zhai Cheng's face was covered with dirty mud and looked very funny, completely different from his usual self.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at surviving in the wild."
While talking, Zhai Cheng didn't stop his hands. "I once participated in a wilderness survival training."
With great difficulty, Zhai Cheng finally managed to light the fire. The two snuggled together, and the sky gradually darkened.
"How are we going to leave here?" Song Ge leaned against Zhai Cheng and was still a bit worried.
"When it's dawn, I'll go and see if there are any ships passing by nearby. Then we can go back."
"Okay." Song Ge closed her eyes. She was a bit tired. She was already tired from taking the plane, and after what had just happened, she was extremely exhausted.
Zhai Cheng heard her shallow breathing. By the faint light in front of them, he looked at Song Ge who was leaning on him.
Sorry for making you suffer with me.
The next day, Song Ge was woken up by the chirping of birds.
She opened her eyes and saw Zhai Cheng sitting in the same position as yesterday. She knew it was because of her and felt a bit self - reproachful. "Let me massage your shoulders."
Zhai Cheng didn't refuse and enjoyed Song Ge's service.
"Growl." Song Ge's stomach growled. She blushed.
Zhai Cheng took her hand. "Let's go and look for something to eat."
As they walked along, they found quite a few wild fruits. They didn't care whether they were edible or not. It was more important to fill their stomachs.
After they were full, they walked along the road to the seaside.
It was already noon. The sun was shining lazily on the beach, giving it a mysterious beauty.
Song Ge thought that if it weren't for their current situation, it would be a great choice to spend a holiday here.
The two sat on the beach and kept looking into the distance, hoping that a ship would come.
"Zhai Cheng, thank you for coming into my life." Song Ge sighed. If she didn't say these words now, she might never have the chance again.
Zhai Cheng hugged Song Ge a bit tighter. He didn't say anything but just looked into the distance.
They waited on the beach until it was dark. No ship passed by. When they were hungry, they ate fruits. At night, they just found a place to sleep.
The next day, they waited on the beach again.
Fortunately, their perseverance paid off. A ship passed by the small island.
"Zhai Cheng, there's a ship." Song Ge pointed excitedly at the ship not far away.
The two waved their hands. The ship stopped for a while. After the captain heard their story, he agreed to take them back.
When they returned to the city again, Song Ge felt like she had been reborn.
Their families didn't know what they had been through, and Zhai Cheng and Song Ge chose not to say anything.
On the day they returned, Zhai Cheng announced their wedding date in front of everyone.
Song Ge, the person involved, was completely dumbfounded.
