Seemingly feeling the warmth, Kamisato Ayaka faintly opened her eyes. She quickly understood her situation, and her cheeks flushed, but she didn't resist. Instead, her eyes were a little dazed.
"Zeyan..." Kamisato Ayaka spoke softly, her voice a little hoarse due to the cold.
"Ayaka, you're awake?" Zeyan asked, holding Kamisato Ayaka tightly.
Because they were embracing, their faces were very close, and they could even feel each other's breath when speaking.
After asking, Zeyan subconsciously loosened his grip on Kamisato Ayaka. "Sorry, Ayaka, I wanted to warm you up, I didn't mean to take advantage of you."
"Hold me tighter," Kamisato Ayaka said.
Hearing this, Zeyan was taken aback, then quickly hugged Kamisato Ayaka again. The girl's soft, delicate body pressed against his without any barrier, and the feeling was very special.
After asking Zeyan to hold her tighter, Kamisato Ayaka said weakly, "These past few days, I've thought about many things. Only now do I realize that there were some things I had the chance to cherish, but I didn't cherish them well. I... I..."
She was very tired, and speaking so many words at once made it difficult for her to continue. Her eyelids were fluttering.
Seeing this, Zeyan quickly said, "Don't talk anymore, Ayaka, you should rest well first. I'll prepare some food for you, and you can eat it after resting a bit... uh? Or should you eat first and then sleep?"
To keep herself from falling into the sea, Kamisato Ayaka had obviously not slept these past few days.
Seeing Zeyan's bewildered look, Kamisato Ayaka said with a faint smile, "I... sleep first."
As her voice fell, Kamisato Ayaka closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep in Zeyan's arms.
Seeing this, Zeyan didn't say anything more, just held the girl in his arms tightly, fearing that she would leave him again. These ten days had been equally difficult for him.
Holding her, Zeyan gradually fell asleep as well.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Zeyan felt a slight movement in his arms. He woke up at the first sign of it and saw Kamisato Ayaka, who also had her eyes open but still looked extremely weak.
"Ayaka, are you feeling better? I'll get you some food right away," Zeyan said quickly.
Supplies were scarce, but Zeyan was lucky. While searching for Kamisato Ayaka, he had found some supplies floating on the sea, and there was some food among them.
He took out a rice ball, then helped Kamisato Ayaka sit up gently against his chest, feeding her small bites of the rice ball.
However, even after eating the rice ball, Kamisato Ayaka still looked extremely fragile, as if she didn't even have the strength to lift a hand. Her pale complexion made one's heart ache.
She was clearly someone who could have always been a young lady of a noble house, but because of him, she had suffered so much.
Zeyan really felt very guilty.
After finishing the rice ball, Kamisato Ayaka blinked her eyes and said softly, "Zeyan, I like you."
Zeyan was stunned. He hadn't expected Kamisato Ayaka to bring up this question so suddenly, as if she was afraid she wouldn't have another chance to say it.
This made his eyes turn red. "Ayaka, I like you too. You definitely won't have any problems, and we will definitely reach Liyue. When we get there, let's become husband and wife, okay?"
A faint smile appeared on Kamisato Ayaka's face. "Okay."
She didn't have the strength to say much, but her heart was really happy. She had still managed to say what she wanted to say to the person she wanted to cherish, and he hadn't refused.
"I want to hear a song," Kamisato Ayaka said, barely opening her mouth after catching her breath a few times.
"Okay, I'll sing for you," Zeyan quickly thought about what song to sing in his mind.
Kamisato Ayaka smiled as she looked at Zeyan.
Suddenly, Zeyan began to sing, and a glint of light flashed in Kamisato Ayaka's beautiful eyes. She remembered the foreign melody she had heard one night back at the Hiiragi Estate in Ritou, but unfortunately, the wind and rain were too strong at the time, and she hadn't been able to hear the lyrics of that foreign melody.
But now, she heard it.
Zeyan gently sang:
"If you don't know which way to go tomorrow, just stay by my side, will you be my wife?"
"My not-so-broad shoulders will also be your warm embrace."
"If you're tired of the wind and rain outside, just stay by my side, will you be my wife?"
"I will definitely bear your occasional little temper, perhaps I can also give you a little surprise, a bit of laughter, a simple and peaceful little nest, accompany you through sunrise, accompany you through sunset, until old age."
Kamisato Ayaka smiled contentedly.
She nestled in Zeyan's arms, listening to his singing, and slowly fell asleep with a satisfied heart.
Everything seemed to be going in a good direction. Zeyan also thought there would be a rainbow after the rain, but what happened to Kamisato Ayaka not long after made him worry again.
Kamisato Ayaka, who had been asleep for a while, suddenly got up without any warning. After getting up, she vomited, throwing up all the food she had eaten before.
"Ayaka, Ayaka..." Zeyan patted Kamisato Ayaka's back worriedly. After she finished vomiting, he held her tighter, his large hand covering her stomach.
Could it be that her stomach had caught a cold, causing an adverse reaction to the food?
Zeyan wasn't a doctor, he could only make such a rough judgment, but it also made him very distressed, because he didn't have anything warm here, only cold food. Even drinking water could only be rainwater, which was also cold and even unsanitary.
But what could he do? They were on the ocean, and he had no other options but to continue holding Kamisato Ayaka tightly.
"Ayaka, are you hungry? I'll give you a different kind of food. Besides rice balls, there's also Tempura," Zeyan said worriedly. His voice even trembled a little because of his concern.
"It's okay, I don't want to eat yet, let me sleep first," Kamisato Ayaka replied weakly, then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Zeyan felt very uneasy.
After finding Kamisato Ayaka, she had already slept for a long time but was still drowsy. This was not a good sign. Even the food she ate was vomited out, clearly indicating that there were still great hidden dangers in her body.
But what could he do? What could he possibly do?
For the first time, Zeyan felt so powerless, as if all the strength in his body was about to be drained. He could only hold Kamisato Ayaka, hold her tightly, and pray for a miracle to happen.
Time gradually passed by again.
Lightning still wantonly streaked across the sky, the storm would never cease, and this sea remained turbulent.
Where was Liyue?
Where was Inazuma?
They had even lost their direction and could only stay in the Waverider, letting it drift with the waves. But continuing like this was a big problem. Where was their way out?
