"I like her. I don't have other thoughts, but she said ... my love is so cheap. I have to prove it with my own actions."
... After hearing this, Sunny looks at the kidnapper with a sympathetic gaze, and then stretches out her hand and pats him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Bro, it's not easy these days."
... The kidnapper is surprised by her, so he pulls a wry face. Just as he is about to say, he hears Kevin say something in a low voice.
Before the kidnapper can hear what he is saying, he feels a cold breeze blowing past his back neck. The last thing he sees is Sunny's sinister smiling face.
"Bro, although I sympathize with you, I'm sorry that I can't help you chase after your boyfriend this time."
The corner of Kevin's mouth twitches fiercely when he hears this.
He looks at the smile on Sunny's small face and says, "Does he like men?"
Sunny looks up in surprise, "Isn't that so?"
... Kevin doesn't say anything. He opens the car door first, jumps down, and then waves at Sunny, "Hurry up and get down. When his help arrives, it will be troublesome."
Hearing that there may be hidden dangers in the future, Sunny does not joke anymore. She hurriedly jumps out of the car and puts Macie into Kevin's arms.
"I wonder where Troy is. It's been so long ..."
As Sunny complains, she takes out her phone to have a look. She finds that only twenty minutes have passed.
...
"Well, Kevin. Where are we going now?"
Kevin points at the supermarket in front of him and says, "Let's go in and have a look. We're all here."
Sunny has no objections, and she is calling Troy.
"Where have you been?"
"Sunny, are you still alive ..." Troy almost jumps up in fright when he receives the phone call.
Sunny clenches her teeth in anger, "Thanks to your good fortune, I am still alive."
When she hears Troy let out a sigh of relief, Sunny's heart is blazing with fury.
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for so long. You have forgotten me, haven't you?"
Troy thinks that she is still in danger and explains, "It's all because of Baron. He insists on going to a shop..."
Sunny feels unbelievable.
"Okay, Troy, since it is so, I won't blame you."
Sunny coughs softly, "We are temporarily out of danger. We are strolling around the supermarket that I told you. You guys come pick us up and I’ll cook for you."
What really attracts Troy is the last sentence.
When he woke up that day, he thought he was in heaven. There were blue sky, sea and coconut trees.
And a group of black people surrounded him. Troy was prepared to die and accept all of this peacefully.
Until he heard a cold voice beside him saying, "Doesn't pretend to be asleep."
Only then did Troy open his eyes and look at Baron beside him. "Are we ... still alive?"
Baron coldly swept a glance at him. 'Yes.'
Because the people on the island were xenophobic, with the help of the locals, after Sunny was saved, the three of them found an unoccupied house by the seaside, simply tidied it up and moved in.
Baron and Troy both tried to contact the people outside the island. Maybe because this island had a special magnetic field or something. They could neither send out any signals nor receive them.
As a result, they could only live like this day after day, year after year, until Macie grew up.
"What are you thinking? I'm talking to you on the phone!"
Sunny's somewhat dissatisfied voice reaches Troy's ears through the phone. It actually coincides with that time in his memory.
"We'll be right there." Baron sees that he is depressed, so he takes his phone and replies to Sunny on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?"
After hanging up the phone, Baron asks. He doesn't know why Troy becomes tearful after receiving the phone.
"I'm fine ..." Troy wipes the tears from the corner of his eyes. "I just feel that it's good to be alive."
Hearing this, Baron doesn't say anything. He just grabs Troy's hand and pinches it hard.
"Kevin, what do you want to eat? I will cook today. You must seize this opportunity."
Kevin pushes the cart and looks at Sunny, who is walking in front while picking up things. He smiles and says, "I like to eat whatever you make."
Hearing this, Sunny rolls her eyes and puts Kevin's most hated mushrooms into the cart. "Then our main course tonight will be the chicken with mushroom."
Hearing this, the smile on Kevin's face freezes, "Honey..."
Sunny cunningly turns around and smiles. Faced with Kevin's silent surrender, she throws the mushroom back.
When Troy and Barry arrive, Sunny is touching Macie's head, watching Kevin swipe his card and sign in one go.
"You look really cool in paying..."
Sunny comments, and then she asks Macie to find an identity, "Do you feel the same way?"
Macie nods, "Dad is very handsome."
The salesperson on the side laughs out loud when she hears this. Then, she looks at Kevin, and her ears unknowingly redden.
