On the speedboat.
Mu Sihan glanced at the silent Nan Zhi as he steered the speedboat back towards the glittering lights of the shoreline.
Since they had started the journey back, she had not looked at him at all, not even once.
“Were you scared?” His voice was low and came from the deepest part of his throat, it was both magnetic and charming. “Did you think I’d really let something happen to you, after I’d finally gotten you to kiss me everyday?”
Nan Zhi stared at the calm sea under the starry night. She pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to speak to him.
Even though she did not get into any real danger, her legs were still weak right now from what happened.
Mu Sihan stopped the speedboat and stood in front of Nan Zhi. He was about to pull her into his arms, when his sharp ears suddenly focused an unusual sound.
Tick, tick, tick…
It was a very strange sound.
Out in the middle of nowhere, they were surrounded by only the sounds of the wind and the waves of the sea. Nan Zhi could not hear it, but Mu Sihan felt a sense of danger.
“Someone’s put a bomb on the speedboat.”
Nan Zhi threw an inconceivable gaze at Mu Sihan once he finished his words.
In his expression was an unprecedented seriousness and coldness she had never seen before. Nan Zhi could feel that he was not lying to her this time.
The two of time split up and started to search the speedboat.
After a short time, Mu Sihan found a bomb tied to a corner of the speedboat with a metal chain. The count-down had already begun.
Two minutes.
Mu Sihan furrowed his straight eyebrows tightly. He could not separate the bomb tied under the metal chains from the speedboat within such a short time.
Nan Zhi found a walkie-talkie and brought it over to Mu Sihan.
Ye Qianqian’s voice chirped from the walkie-talkie within a few seconds. “Did you find the bomb? Sihan, I will tell you the password to stop the bomb, but only if you agree to marry me. You’ll also have to cut off all contact with Nan Zhi.”
Mu Sihan glanced at Nan Zhi. “Do you want me to marry her?”
Nan Zhi furrowed her slender eyebrows. “It’s not like I can interfere with your decision.” She would never have thought that Ye Qianqian would do something so crazy for love. Was it worth it to commit such a big crime for a man?
Mu Sihan’s black eyes darkened at Nan Zhi’s dismissive answer.
Even at such a point in time, she was still not willing to say anything against her heart. It seemed like she really did not have any feelings for him…
A bone-chilling coldness ignited in Mu Sihan’s eyes and his voice was dangerous when he replied. “Ye Qianqian, do you know what I hate the most? It’s when pathetic people threaten me. Which is why you’d better pray that I die from your bomb. If not, you will be dying a terrible death!”
Mu Sihan switched off the walkie-talkie and threw it aside.
There was only 60 seconds left on the screen as it began its last count-down.
The goosebumps on Nan Zhi’s arms crawled up her body as she heard the ticking sound.
Tonight was really more than terrifying. To think it was her second life-threatening experience and it had only been a few hours.
Mu Sihan stared at Nan Zhi and stated coldly, “Jump down with me if you don’t want to die.”
Ye Qianqian had taken away the life jackets on the speedboat. Nan Zhi stared blankly at the endless sea of darkness ahead. It was not that she wasn’t afraid, it was the only choice she had. If she wanted to live to see her darling Xiaojie again, her only option was to jump with Mu Sihan into the foreboding sea.
Sucking in a final breath, Nan Zhi jumped down from the boat, almost immediately after Mu Sihan.
She felt like she was pulled into an endless abyss of nothing when the sea water surrounded her as her body tore into the water.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she still lost the ability to react for a few second from the moment the water covered her head and surrounded her entire being. There was no escape as her body sunk into the darkness.
The freezing cold water flooded through every entry point possible, entering Nan Zhi’s mouth and nose. She couldn’t see, she couldn’t breath!
She felt like she was suffocating and she never felt so close to death.
Just as she thought she would die and submerge into the depths of this watery hell, a dark silhouette moved towards her. Her soft body was held tightly by a pair of strong arms. From his chilled lips, he passed a breath of life-saving air into her desperate lungs.
