Chapter 659: Chapter 659: The Wind Is Rising

Cheng Yuan took a serious look, then nodded in admiration. "Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! You’re so gorgeous, honey, you’d look good in any swimsuit!"

Her large eyes crinkled happily into crescents. "Then this one?"

Cheng Yuan nodded, then shook his head. "We can buy it, but this swimsuit is too revealing. You can’t wear it here. You can only wear it at home!"

Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes in annoyance, raising a hand to point at the girls walking around the beach in sexy swimsuits.

"Cheng Yuan, don’t be so old-fashioned, okay? My swimsuit is already pretty conservative. Look at those girls, they’re wearing thongs right on the beach!"

Cheng Yuan shook his head insistently. "Your swimsuit isn’t a thong, true, but your belly button is showing, and I can see the curve of your... Well, it’s absolutely not happening. Only I get to see you like this, honey. I’m not letting other men get a free show!"

Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Why don’t you pick one out for me, then?"

Cheng Yuan searched intently and finally produced a very conservative one-piece swimsuit. It covered her all the way to her collarbones, leaving only a bit of her neck exposed.

"This one’s more like it."

Lin Ruoxi: "..."

Unable to win the argument, Lin Ruoxi could only change into the swimsuit Cheng Yuan had picked out.

Even so, it couldn’t conceal her delicate, curvaceous figure.

On the way to the water, countless men gawked at her.

Cheng Yuan felt even more vindicated in his decision. ’Good thing she’s wearing this,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, those guys would have gotten an eyeful!’

"Honey, come on, let’s go for a swim."

"Okay."

Lin Ruoxi nodded gently and followed Cheng Yuan into the sea, but when the water reached her navel, she refused to go any deeper.

"It’s a little windy today. Can we just stay here?"

Cheng Yuan didn’t force her. "Alright then, honey. I’ll teach you how to swim."

"Okay."

"Relax, honey. Don’t be afraid of the water. First, take a deep breath and let yourself float. Here, let me help you."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuan held up Lin Ruoxi’s model-perfect body.

Lin Ruoxi shot him an annoyed glance. ’This pervert, where does he think he’s putting his hands?’

However, Lin Ruoxi didn’t resist. ’After all, we’re a married couple. We’ve already done the most intimate things imaginable.’

’What’s a little groping compared to that?’

Under Cheng Yuan’s patient instruction, Lin Ruoxi’s swimming skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Before long, she was swimming with ease.

"Wow! I just swam over ten meters! Darling, you’re so much better than a swim coach!"

’A swim coach?’

The look in Cheng Yuan’s eyes changed instantly. "Honey, did the swim coach teach you like this, too? Tell me the address of the pool and the coach’s name. I promise I won’t kill him!"

Lin Ruoxi couldn’t help but laugh.

"Cheng Yuan, I never knew you were such a jealous one! Don’t worry! The swim coach I hired was a woman!"

Only then did Cheng Yuan’s dark expression clear. "Honey, can we swim out a little farther now?"

"Alright."

With her newfound swimming skills, Lin Ruoxi followed Cheng Yuan out toward the deeper water.

But Lin Ruoxi was a young woman, after all. Even with her regular yoga, her stamina was no match for a monster like Cheng Yuan.

After about twenty meters, Lin Ruoxi started to feel tired. "Cheng Yuan, let’s stop here! I’m a little tired, let’s go back."

’How could I miss such a perfect opportunity?’

SPLASH! SPLASH!

Cheng Yuan swam to her side and pulled her into his embrace. "If you’re tired, then rest for a bit."

Even through the swimsuit, he could feel her incredible curves. Cheng Yuan was getting impatient, but Lin Ruoxi’s swimsuit was just too conservative. It being a one-piece, he couldn’t figure out where to begin.

He was suddenly filled with regret.

"Honey, I’m suddenly regretting not letting you wear that other swimsuit."

Lin Ruoxi whispered playfully in his ear, "Darling, we have plenty of time. When we get back to the hotel tonight, I’ll wear it just for you!"

"Really?"

"Of course."

Cheng Yuan was ecstatic. He held her tight and kissed her wildly, not letting go until she was breathless.

Just as Cheng Yuan released her, he suddenly heard a series of panicked shouts.

"The wind’s picking up! The waves are getting bigger!"

A fierce gust of sea wind swept past them. Cheng Yuan and Lin Ruoxi instinctively turned their heads, only to see a two-meter-high wave cresting not far away!

The tourists in the deep-water area were swimming frantically toward the shore!

Cheng Yuan quickly grabbed Lin Ruoxi and swam rapidly toward the beach!

SPLASH!

The wave struck!

It crashed down, engulfing them as Lin Ruoxi cried out in alarm.

Worried Lin Ruoxi would inhale water, Cheng Yuan quickly pinched her nose and sealed his lips over hers, giving her a breath of air.

SPLASH!

They broke through the surface.

Suddenly, an anxious shout came from behind them. "Xiaoran! Where are you? Don’t scare me!"

Cheng Yuan and Lin Ruoxi looked back and saw a swim ring floating ten meters away, but the person who had been in it was gone.

Cheng Yuan remembered clearly that before the wave hit, a young girl had been sitting in that swim ring.

And now, she was gone.

Cheng Yuan’s gaze sharpened. ’This is bad. That girl’s in trouble!’

Lin Ruoxi also remembered the girl and said anxiously, "Cheng Yuan, the wave must have swept her away! Can you save her?"

Cheng Yuan frowned. The wind had suddenly picked up, which meant more waves were coming. ’If I go save a stranger, what will happen to Lin Ruoxi?’

"Ruoxi, I can save her, but I have to ensure your safety first!"

As they spoke, a girl’s head bobbed above the surface about twenty-odd meters away. Her arms flailed desperately, but she was a poor swimmer and quickly sank again.

Lin Ruoxi was frantic. She pointed at the swim ring. "Honey, get that swim ring for me! I’ll be perfectly fine with it! Go save her! Every second counts! A life is at stake!"

This time, Cheng Yuan didn’t refuse.

The girl was in imminent danger. If he didn’t hurry, she’d be a goner.

With Lin Ruoxi’s newly improved swimming and the addition of a swim ring, her safety was more or less guaranteed.

"Okay."

Cheng Yuan raised his hand and gestured. As if his palm were a magnet, the swim ring shot toward him.

"Honey, hold on tight."

With that, Cheng Yuan dove headfirst into the water like a fish. He shielded his eyes with his True Qi, opened them, and searched for the girl who had gone under.

Cheng Yuan possessed the Double Pupil. Even in the murky seawater, his vision was excellent, and he quickly found the girl.

But then, the color drained from his face.

The waves had been so powerful they had torn through the protective nets of the bathing beach.

Two sharks, each a full five meters long, had slipped through the hole in the net and were heading straight for the drowning girl!
