15 years ago, on the dock

It is not easy to walk from an artificial island to the dock alone, especially a young man like Xiaodou, who is already weak in body. He stared at the wind on the lake. It took Xiaodou about 20 minutes to stand firm in the middle of the dock. The lakes around him were undulating, making Xiaodou feel that the small dock looked like a floating boat and could overturn at any time.

Xiaodou calmed down and turned around and walked into the mooring harbor hidden under the artificial island. There were ships arranged neatly. Xiaodou struggled to move a pedal and set it up, and prepared to go to one of the ships to see the Chongming umbrellas above. He was indeed very interested in those special umbrella bones.

At this moment, a scream came from a faraway place. At first glance, it sounded like a man's voice raised, but after careful reminiscing, it looked like a woman. Xiaodou looked up at the artificial island, but because of his current location, he could hardly see the situation on the island.

After thinking for a few seconds, Xiaodou gave up the idea of ​​going back to watch the fun, and continued to board the boat along the pedals to get close to the Chongming umbrellas. He never expected that there was a boy in the hotel now looking for trouble for his girlfriend.

Inside the artificial island hotel

When Yueyue saw Xiaochen in a fierce manner, she had no idea what had happened? She didn't know why Xiaochen came to cause trouble for her? She couldn't even understand what Xiaochen said!

"I tell you, you'd better stay away from Sister Xiaoju, otherwise, no matter whether you are a woman or not, I will beat you up!" Xiaochen said loudly to Yueyue in front of everyone in the hotel hall.

Yueyue was also very angry and retorted: "What do you want to do? I don't know you at all. Xiaoju and I just said a few words. Why do you threaten me like this? Is this your way of hospitality?"

After a series of rhetorical questions, Uncle Li hurriedly ran in. When he saw the situation in the room, he suddenly patted Yan Nuogu, who was leaning against the counter on the east side, and said, "You are stupid! Hurry up and pull Xiaochen out!"

"It's not that I don't want to pull it, it's that Xiaoju has already pulled it just now, it's useless. Xiaochen just got angry and just ignored it. Xiaoju was angry and ran away by him! And..."

"And what?" Uncle Li asked inexplicably. He felt that Yan Nuogu looked at him with a strange look, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately realized that something bad must have happened.

Sure enough, Yan Nuogu said hesitantly: "It's Aunt Ye, you go upstairs and take a look... Anyway, Xiaochen has caused a big trouble this time, and you'd better go find Lao Kang. He usually loves Xiaochen the most, and he probably doesn't know about this!"

"Where is that old guy?" Uncle Li didn't care about his words and asked loudly.

"How could I know? The old guy you mentioned has never come back after going out in the morning. He was either cleaning up in the warehouse or sleeping in the front room." After Yan Nuogu finished answering, he got into the kitchen and drove away the aunts who came out to watch the fun together, calling him cleaning up the kitchen. In fact, he didn't want them to suck the muddy waters.

Although Xiaochen is only 15 years old, he is tall and strong. Since he does physical work all year round, the muscles on his arms are already looming, and he looks much stronger than ordinary teenagers.

The screams Xiaodou heard came from Aunt Ye. Uncle Li hurried upstairs and pushed open the door of the fourth room. He saw the fat middle-aged woman covering her right hand with a handkerchief. The handkerchief had been stained with blood.

Aunt Ye’s hands are their treasures from the artificial island. Only these hands can draw a vivid pattern of umbrellas. Uncle Li was stunned for a moment and rushed forward with a quick step, pulled Aunt Ye’s left hand and began to check.

He lifted the handkerchief and took a look, and the anger in his heart surged up. The right hand used to hold the brush, index finger and middle finger were injured. Moreover, the twisted shape had already damaged the bones. Even if it was cured, it would not be guaranteed to leave any sequelae.

Uncle Li is the owner of this hotel and the person in charge of this artificial island. Now that this happens, it is equivalent to destroying everyone's job here. He can't find a second such excellent painter here.

Turning back, he rushed out of the room immediately. The hotel owner rushed directly to Xiaochen and slapped him in the face, slapped him in the face, and took several steps back. After finally gaining a foothold, five finger marks had appeared on the boy's face, and a little blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth. It was probably because the oral mucosa had been broken.

Xiaochen's stubborn eyes were still staring at Yueyue, as if he was about to eat her. Yueyue felt a little soft-hearted, walked past Uncle Li and asked Xiaochen carefully: "Can you tell me what happened? If I really did something wrong, I can apologize to you."

"Hmph! Why do you seduce my Xiaoju?" Xiaochen said something that made the monk confused, and Yueyue also felt very strange. From the beginning, Xiaochen kept mentioning Xiaoju. Even if Xiaoju explained to him, he would not let go.

Yueyue said in a confused manner: "I said that I just said a few words to Miss Xiaoju. We didn't do anything, and we were both women. What can I do? Your words made me very strange, Xiaochen."

"You guys hold hands!!"

"Hold hands..." Yueyue didn't react in her mind. She didn't remember when she held the hand with Xiaoju. After thinking about the previous things many times, Yueyue thought about it.

"You are talking about when we were in Xiaoju's room, right? I was completely unintentional at that time. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it. At that time, we didn't think of holding hands. Xiaoju just accidentally put her hand on the back of my hand. Neither of us noticed it. Believe me, Xiaochen, I really didn't lie to you."

Xiaochen remained motionless and remained the same. The vicious expression on his face did not fade away at all. Instead, he seemed even more angry because of the slap. This young man has been inseparable from Xiaoju since he was a child, and treats Xiaoju as his own life. Unlike Yannuogu, he knew that he didn't care much about the lame Xiaoju at first glance.

"It's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaoju after a while. We really didn't intend."

After repeated explanations, Xiaochen's face finally eased, but this did not mean that he could not be punished. Aunt Ye's hand was injured because of persuading the fight. Xiaochen was going to leave the artificial island today and go to the city to join his brother and sister-in-law, but now he was forcibly stayed by Uncle Li and was punished to take care of Aunt Ye until his fingers were completely recovered.

When Uncle Li scolded Xiaochen angrily, Yueyue learned that Xiaochen was actually an amateur surgeon and had seen trauma for many people on the island, which surprised her more than being criticized by Xiaochen.
