"Xiaowei gege, we finally waited for this moment, to bid farewell to this deserted island!" Li Lin held my hand, tears streaming down her face as she spoke to me.
"After going out to sea, we must stay in touch, okay? Xiaowei gege, I really can't bear to part with you!" Li Lin began to fantasize about life after leaving the island.
Xu Xiaorong also came over, abandoning her previous arrogance, somewhat awkwardly saying to me, "I had prejudices against you before. Now I sincerely apologize to you, Xiaowei, you are a good man!"
Although Su Jie didn't say much, she walked to my side, smiled, and held my hand.
In the warm glow of the campfire, the smiles of the girls were as bright as flowers, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Tears almost uncontrollably welled up in my eyes, but they still didn't know that I wouldn't be leaving with them. At this moment, everyone was happy, including me, thinking that they could leave the deserted island together.
However, we didn't know that this was another heartless joke from fate. We weren't in a hurry to set sail immediately because going out to sea required a lot of preparation. However, these preparations only took two or three days. First, we needed to process food and fresh water, put them in containers such as backpacks and bamboo tubes, for consumption at sea. Then, after the snow melted a little, we would dig out the bamboo raft and conduct a few tests in the small river. Once we confirmed that the bamboo raft was intact, the preparations would be basically complete.

"The starry sky is exceptionally bright tonight, full of stars. Tomorrow must be a sunny day. Let's set out tomorrow!" That night, after we had dinner in the cave, I waved my hand and made this decision. As soon as I finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers in the cave.
That night, the girls were unusually excited, chattering non-stop until very late before finally falling asleep.
In the darkness, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I hadn't told them yet that I wouldn't be leaving with them. I planned to tell them tomorrow morning before setting sail. The reason for doing so was to prevent them from persuading me. Although I knew my determination to find Peggy was firm, what if they managed to persuade me? I didn't want to give myself that chance.
This night, watching everyone fall asleep, I secretly climbed onto Su Jie's bed. Tomorrow, when we part, who knows when we'll meet again? Perhaps it's a farewell forever. I just wanted to hug Su Jie again, to be tender with her for the last time. Originally, I didn't have any other plans, just wanted to hold her and spend this last night peacefully and beautifully. But my arrival clearly gave Su Jie a misunderstanding.
