Chapter 42 Falling into the Sea, a White Figure
Chapter 42 Falling into the Sea, a White Figure
Before falling into the sea, Ning Yao only cried out for help once, and then her body was submerged in seawater, her mouth and nose filled with the salty smell of the sea.
A feeling of suffocation swept over me, and the terrifying memories of seawater exploded in my mind at that moment.
Despair, loneliness, all the fear of the unknown deep sea, and the impending fear of death all rushed into Ning Yao's mouth and nose with the seawater.
In that instant, my mind seemed to be filled with so many things that, before I could even recall them, felt like they were about to explode.
Ning Yao even forgot to struggle and call for help. She thrashed about on the water for a few moments, and then, as if something heavy was pulling her ankles, she slowly fell downwards.
Someone, please save me.
Because she wanted to see Wen Tingye, she deliberately found a secluded deck where there were almost no people around. The current in the sea was swift, and the cruise ship was constantly speeding up. Several minutes had passed since she fell into the sea, and no matter how much she shouted, no one would hear her.
Realizing that no one would come to her rescue, Ning Yao gazed at the boundless ocean, her heart filled with despair.
The seawater was icy cold, swallowing her slender body whole. She couldn't swim, couldn't breathe, and had no strength to struggle. Just as she was about to close her eyes, Ning Yao vaguely saw a white figure swimming rapidly towards her.
The man was like a dragon entering the sea, swimming swiftly. His long, powerful arms sliced through the water, creating ripples all around him.
The white figure drew closer and closer, but its appearance remained unclear. Only those deep, captivating black eyes seemed familiar to her.
Ning Yao felt that the person was radiating white light, as if a ray of light had pierced through her dim world, making her no longer afraid...
But her consciousness was already becoming hazy as the oxygen was gone; everything before her eyes must be an illusion.
Despite her reluctance, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
Ning Yao had a very long dream. In the dream, her beloved mother was sitting in the familiar little pavilion in the courtyard, drinking tea. She was elegant and dignified, and occasionally smiled as she watched her six precious children playing nearby. There was also a tall and handsome young man standing beside the children, looking at her with tender and affectionate eyes.
Ning Yao walked over and was embraced by the man. The family lived happily in the quiet and comfortable green manor, playing, eating and drinking, and having a wonderful time.
The man seemed to be Ning Yao's husband. In her dream, he was always stern and silent, standing indifferently to the side. But when Ning Yao needed help, he was the first to step forward and offer assistance.
Ning Yao wanted to get closer to see the man's face clearly, but found that no matter how close she got, his features were still blurry.
Life on the manor was blissful, but it felt like winter all year round, bitterly cold, and everything around us was chillingly cold and devoid of warmth.
Ning Yao walked and walked around the manor, and finally felt something warm around her. This was the first warm object she had encountered in the manor.
She hurriedly stretched out her delicate palm, trying to reach it to warm herself.
But the moment she touched that thing, she suddenly woke up from her dream, opening her eyes groggily...
What came into view was a night sky studded with stars, twinkling like a dream, breathtakingly beautiful.
Ning Yao stared at the night view for a long time, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.
Has she died and gone to heaven?
Heaven must be so beautiful. Will my mother be here too?
"woke up?"
A deep, husky male voice sounded, and Ning Yao turned her head in a daze, only to find Wen Tingye sitting next to her, his upper body completely naked, revealing his muscular chest, almost exactly the same as when he came out of the bathroom in the presidential suite.
They were clearly not in the cabin of a cruise ship, but on a deserted island, surrounded by trees and muddy, sticky soil damp from the sea.
A gust of wind blew by, and Ning Yao felt extremely cold. She subconsciously pulled her arms around herself, but what she touched was a cold, silky smooth surface—the feel of her skin, not her clothes.
Ning Yao was shocked and quickly looked down. Sure enough, she was no longer wearing an outer garment, only two thin pieces of clothing close to her body.
Wen Tingye took off her clothes?
She didn't suffer any loss, did she? Did Wen Tingye do anything to her?
Ning Yao touched her skin, trying her best to feel the abnormality in her body, worried that she might be taken advantage of without her knowledge and lose her virginity again in a daze.
Wen Tingye saw all of Ning Yao's actions. With a cold face, he used a tree branch to prop up a set of clothes, which was the same set Ning Yao was wearing when she fell into the sea.
"Your clothes are all soaked and need to be dried." Wen Tingye tossed the dried outer garment to Ning Yao and then coldly ordered, "The outer garment is dried. Go change into it, and then take off your inner clothes, dry them, and then wear them."
Ning Yao looked at Wen Tingye suspiciously. How did this pampered scion of a noble family know about starting a fire in the wild?
Wen Tingye had no idea what Ning Yao was thinking, and assumed that she thought he was going to do something inappropriate to her, so his face darkened considerably.
In Ning Yao's eyes, he was the kind of lewd man driven by lust.
If Wen Tingye really wanted a woman to sleep with him, would he need to force her?
"If you don't want to die here, do as I say!" Wen Tingye had no patience to explain further to Ning Yao.
He was on the deck with his two children when he witnessed Ning Yao fall into the water. Seeing that Ning Yao couldn't swim, he didn't think twice and jumped into the water, swimming towards Ning Yao.
There were waves and the current was too strong at sea that day. Even a professional rescue team would not have been able to react in time. After all, reaction time takes time, and it also takes time to dispatch a search and rescue yacht. Jumping directly into the water is very dangerous. Let alone rescuing people, even if you jump in yourself, you may not be able to get back to the cruise ship alive.
Wen Tingye ended up in danger with Ning Yao, and the two of them were washed ashore on a deserted island.
Ning Yao knew, of course, that on such a deserted and remote island, there was no medicine to treat illnesses. Even the most common cold or fever could be a fatal disease on a deserted island.
Drying your clothes before putting them back on will at least keep your body warm and protect you from the cold wind.
Without thinking twice, she grabbed her coat and went to the woods. Finding an angle where Wen Tingye couldn't see her, she quickly changed out of her clothes and put on her coat.
The thought of drying her underwear in front of Wen Tingye made Ning Yao's face burn.
She never dreamed that one day she would be alone with Wen Tingye on a deserted island.
