Chapter 258 In her heart, he was worthless.
Seeing the raging fire before him, Lei Xiao'an rushed in without hesitation.
"He's gone mad, stop him right now!"
"Stop running! Stop right there! There's a fire inside! Your sister isn't in there! Are you looking to die?"
Lei Xiao'an ran straight into the fire, while the people behind him, who were itching to do something, gritted their teeth, as if they had sensed something was wrong.
The leader ordered, "Go and immediately block the road at the intersection."
"Yes."
Song Shuyue and her entourage had already arrived at the ship's side and were about to board when Hai Qingfeng stopped another boat in front of her.
"Miss Song, please come up quickly!"
Song Shuyue didn't ask him why he was there. She strode up and looked at the path behind her.
Lei Xiao'an, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He was grabbed by two men who ran down and kicked to the ground.
As the thin man tried to get up, a pair of feet stomped firmly on his chest, while another man bent down and pressed a gun against his head.
"Trying to run? I must say you've become much smarter; you've even found your accomplices. Too bad you can't escape now."
Lei Xiao'an knew that until they caught him, he would only suffer a fate worse than death, so he might as well end it all now. He reached into his pockets and found a small knife.
Sister, you must take good care of yourself.
Just as he was about to take out his knife, a figure appeared. The two people standing on him were instantly turned around, and he stared in shock at the person who had appeared in front of him.
Xie Junchen grabbed him and said, "Hurry up, they're catching up soon."
Lei Xiao'an ran away in fear, with Xie Junchen behind him. A large group of people had already caught up and were firing wildly in their direction.
Lei Xiao'an saw Song Shuyue and her sister and ran up to them.
Song Shuyue reached out her hand, and Xie Junchen, who arrived last, took her hand and pulled her up forcefully.
Song Shuyue and the others were on the ship in autopilot mode, heading in another direction, while they left to the left.
Lei Xiao'an hugged his sister tightly, his heart pounding. He was overwhelmed with gratitude, and if the occasion allowed, he would have kowtowed to express his thanks.
“There are too many of them, and they’re not stupid. They might catch up with us very soon,” Xie Junchen said seriously.
Song Shuyue agreed with his idea, "You're right, so we have to abandon this ship."
Hai Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "If we lose the boat, how are we going to get back?"
They make it sound so easy, but without a boat, are they really going to just jump into the sea?
Xie Junchen took out a diving mask from the ship. "Use this."
Song Shuyue took one and said, "Well, this is the only way right now."
Hai Qingfeng said, "Can you two be decent human beings? It takes us more than two hours to get here by boat. Are we supposed to swim back to shore? Please, that's not realistic, okay? You two!"
How could they possibly swim back to shore with just a diving mask? They probably wouldn't be able to keep up after half an hour in the water.
Xie Junchen said seriously, "We have to do it even if we can't, unless you want to die. My men will arrive in about 40 minutes, so we just need to stay in the water for those 40 minutes."
Song Shuyue looked at the approaching ship in the distance, picked up a mask and handed it to them, "We don't have time to hesitate, we're going into the water right now."
Lei Xiao'an was a little worried about whether his younger sister could handle it. Before he could even speak, his sister clenched her fist firmly and said to him, "Brother, don't underestimate me. I'm very capable too. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid. Our brothers and sisters saved us. We can't be a burden to them."
Lei Xiao'an: "Okay."
The icy, bone-chilling seawater made them shiver involuntarily. Hai Qingfeng was truly on the verge of tears! Why did he have to come out and do anything?
"Swim that way," Song Shuyue instructed.
Everyone nodded.
Song Shuyue avoided the route they had taken and watched the ship heading in another direction, feeling a slight sense of relief.
But soon she realized something was wrong. As a doctor, she was very sensitive to blood, and she could smell the blood.
Her first glance fell on Lei Xiao'an, but Lei Xiao'an was holding her younger sister and didn't seem to be injured, so there was only one possibility.
Song Shuyue approached Xie Junchen's side, and the strong smell of blood filled her nostrils. Sure enough.
"You're injured!" Song Shuyue looked at Xie Junchen's slightly pale lips.
Xie Junchen gave a bitter smile, "It's just a minor injury, I'm fine."
Just when they all thought Song Shuyue was going to show concern for him, Song Shuyue frowned and said in a fierce tone, "Do you know what it means for you to be injured? Your blood will attract a lot of things. At that time, let alone staying here for 40 minutes, we might be eaten by fish in just over ten minutes."
Xie Junchen was taken aback; what she said made a lot of sense.
Xie Junchen gripped the wound on his leg tightly, gritting his teeth, "Then I'll go."
Hai Qingfeng: "No way!"
Song Shuyue: "Okay."
Song Shuyue's words drew everyone's attention to her. Hai Qingfeng hadn't expected Miss Song to be so ruthless.
But they couldn't find any reason to accuse her, after all, it was a matter of life and death, and everyone wanted to survive.
Xie Junchen had no intention of being a burden to them, and he took off his watch and handed it to Song Shuyue.
"This is my location; they were supposed to find you using this watch."
After saying that, he swam off in another direction without hesitation.
Hai Qingfeng tried to stop him, but Xie Junchen quickly swam away. He wanted to follow, but Song Shuyue stopped him.
"Get out of my way, Miss Song. I know you're trying to protect yourself, but there's something I have to say. You and your minister were injured trying to save this man and help you. You can abandon him, but I can't. I'm going to find him."
Hai Qingfeng's words were powerful and unwavering.
Song Shuyue said helplessly, "If I'm not mistaken, you can't swim. If it weren't for this plank, you would have been the first one to drown here."
Hai Qingfeng stared at her in astonishment, his eyes wide with disbelief. "How...how did you know?"
When Xie Junchen took a board when they went into the water, she guessed that Hai Qingfeng probably couldn't swim.
"So if you don't want to die, take this watch and swim forward with them. Rest when you get tired, and keep going until his people come to rescue you."
"But you..."
Before Hai Qingfeng could finish speaking, the watch was already on his wrist, and Song Shuyue swam towards Xie Junchen.
Xie Junchen swam further and further away. He glanced in their direction and realized he had gone far enough. Even if his blood attracted large fish, it wouldn't harm them anymore.
The wound on his leg throbbed with pain; the bullet was still lodged in his thigh. Xie Junchen gritted his teeth and endured it. He took out his phone and saw the message from Xiao Zhou.
They said they would find his seat in 28 minutes.
The color drained from Xie Junchen's face little by little, and he felt his body temperature gradually dropping. The icy seawater made him shiver uncontrollably, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.
To be honest, the moment Song Shuyue told him to leave without hesitation, his heart ached terribly, to the point that he felt like he was suffocating.
He always understood that it was just wishful thinking on his part, and that he was deluding himself.
She shamelessly considered him her future girlfriend.
But only he knew the truth: she didn't like him at all, and he had to shamelessly ask for her to be his friend.
But he never blamed her; liking someone is liking someone, and he never regretted it.
Her selfish personality is actually quite good; she'll never suffer a loss, never let herself get hurt, and always prioritizes her own life.
She is very capable and strategic.
He was worthless in her eyes.
But it doesn't matter, he will continue to pursue her after he goes back, trying to make her have a little place for him in her heart.
Not too many, one-tenth is enough.
He never considered giving up, which is probably what Hai Qingfeng and the others often refer to as being "love-struck".
He didn't know anything about being in love or being love-struck; he only knew that even if one day Song Shuyue stabbed herself in the heart with a knife, he would still love her.
A love at first sight that lasts a lifetime—this feeling is indescribable.
Xie Junchen felt himself getting colder and colder, almost frozen stiff, and his eyelids started to droop, wanting to close.
Just then, a pair of hands embraced him, and Xie Junchen suddenly regained his senses. The hands on his chest were so real. Had he encountered a mermaid?
No way!
He can't be so unlucky, right?
Are there mermaids in this world?
"Xie Junchen, how are you feeling?" Song Shuyue suddenly appeared in front of him.
Xie Junchen's pupils dilated suddenly. He couldn't believe it was her. Was he hallucinating?
Can you slap me?
His words stunned Song Shuyue. Xie Junchen hugged the person in front of him and pulled her into his arms.
Am I hallucinating? Am I still alive?
If it wasn't a hallucination, why would she come looking for me?
Seeing that he was injured, Song Shuyue let her hold her first. "It's not a hallucination, you're still alive. Don't talk for now, let me bandage your wound and stop the bleeding."
As she spoke, Song Shuyue tore his shirt and dived into the water. Because it was late at night, she couldn't see anything, so she could only touch his thigh with her hands.
Xie Junchen shuddered and stiffened when he accidentally touched something. Song Shuyue had no time to be embarrassed and slowly explored his wound until she felt the thick blood.
Xie Junchen's breathing quickened, and he felt hot all over.
He quickly came back to life; she had just... touched himself there.
Song Shuyue surfaced from the water. "Alright, your wound has stopped bleeding for now. How long until your people arrive?"
Xie Junchen truly felt like an animal, that at a time like this, he could still think of such nonsense, it was truly shameful.
"It will probably take another 20 minutes."
Song Shuyue nodded and reached out to touch his forehead. "Hold onto my shoulders, support yourself, and hold on. Don't faint."
Xie Junchen wanted to take the opportunity to hug her, but she knew she couldn't. They were floating on the water, and if they didn't exert any force, they would sink.
I can't drag her down with me.
Xie Junchen smiled and said, "You underestimate me too much. I'm a man, and this little injury is nothing to me."
