You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307 I Will Always Stay By Your Side

They exchanged glances and ignored the chicken because they had something better to check out.

Holding Bai Rong’s hand, Gu Mingchen brought her over to the shack that was nearby.

Her heart started racing because she couldn’t believe there was another party on the deserted island. They wouldn’t be alone anymore. Perhaps they might get to leave the island way ahead of their initial schedule with the other party’s aid.

When they reached the doorstep, the man opened the door and showed her the way in.

She was disappointed because there wasn’t anyone in the shack. Apart from the inches of dust on the table, there wasn’t anything else left behind.

Gu Mingchen was disappointed as well. “I guess they have long evacuated.”

After a simple glance, Bai Rong opened the cabinet and stared at the things inside. “I think the owner of the place has been staying here for a long time. That’s the reason he managed to build such a magnificent place. Most probably he had everything ready prior to his departure because nothing’s left behind.”

“There are two reasons to be taken into consideration for choosing a base. Number one, safety. Number two, a source of water. It’s obvious this isn’t the safest location.” Gu Mingchen ruled out the possibilities and brought Bai Rong out of the shack. He walked around the shack and glanced everywhere.

“Gu Mingchen!” Bai Rong yelled when she caught the trail left behind. Frowning, she denoted, “I believe the owner is trying the same thing and has departed after making a boat.”

He nodded and acknowledged her words. “Perhaps the owner has made it out alive, but there’s also a possibility of him being dead as a result of a fail attempt.”

“I guess the fact he has been staying around without being saved is bad news, huh? It means no boats are passing by the area,” Bai Rong added petulantly.

He tried to be positive and consoled her. “That might not be the case. I mean, this place is quite a distance away from the beach. He might not notice if any boat had passed by. In other words, it might be his fault.”

“Mmm…”

He crouched on the ground with his ears on it.

She knew it was an attempt to locate the source of water.

After he got up, he surveyed the surroundings once more.

“Have you heard anything?” she asked.

The confused man replied, “I believe there’s a source of water nearby because I can hear the burbling sound of a stream. However, I can see nothing nearby.”

“Does that mean it’s hidden inside the shack?” Bai Rong voiced out her speculation and sprinted back to the shack.

After Gu Mingchen entered the shack, he placed his ear on the ground once again. “Rong, the burbling sound is louder in here. I think something is covering it.”

She looked around and stopped when she saw the cabinet. “Could it be down here?”

Once he removed the cabinet from its usual location, they saw a well beneath it.

“There’s water there! But it’s so deep! I think it’s at least twenty feet deep?”

Gu Mingchen craned over and said, “I think it’s at least twenty-five feet deep.”

Bai Rong’s eyes gleamed in excitement. She exclaimed, “Once we make our own bucket and attach a rope to it, we can easily acquire clean water. We won’t have to be afraid of passing out due to dehydration anymore. Let’s fill the bamboo with all the water we need prior to our departure.”

Gu Mingchen knew she meant it when she said she couldn’t wait to leave. To be precise, her desire to leave was all over her face.

He asked, “Do you want to stay here, or do you want to move back to the beach?”

“The beach! We can’t afford to miss the passing boat! On top of that, we need to get ourselves a lot of fish! I’ll deep fry the preserved ones for the trip! We don’t have to worry about food and water anymore! The boat is the only thing missing!” Bai Rong was in a great mood.

Gu Mingchen grabbed her shoulders and had her facing him. He asserted in a serious manner, “Rong, I want you to promise me you will stay by my side when we make our way back!”

He was afraid she would leave him again the moment they returned. If that was the case, he would rather spend the rest of his life with her on the island.
