Chapter 1344 - 1341: Scared Nearly to Fainting

Chapter 1344: Chapter 1341: Scared Nearly to Fainting

Whoosh—, suddenly like ink being splashed, a mass of fresh red blood stained a large area of the sea.

The person reacted extremely quickly, withdrawing several meters away from the thing with just a few strokes of hands and feet. At this moment, Zi Ruoxi was so frightened by the scene that she nearly fainted.

Just as she was about to collapse, a gentle force suddenly wrapped around her waist, like a buoyancy holding back her downward momentum.

Her body growing colder, Zi Ruoxi found it difficult to breathe. She raised her slender hand, removing the goggles on her head. As soon as she took them off, she began to gulp down seawater. Oh no, her legs had lost their strength.

She glanced at the person behind her and still retained some awareness, but she hadn’t expected it to be Qiao Junlie. He had followed her and dived here. Apparently, the thrust just now was him pulling her down; otherwise, she would have been hit by that Manta Ray or even been eaten by a small white shark.

Qiao Junlie’s blue eyes darkened upon seeing her situation, immediately removing his goggles as well. With one hand, he held her waist, and with the other, supported her head. As his feet kept kicking upward, their bodies spiraled in the hundred-meter depths, gradually ascending.

But even so, the speed was very slow. Zi Ruoxi was completely out of strength. What was happening to her? Qiao Junlie was very anxious, gesturing with a single arm for her to use her strength upwards. However, Zi Ruoxi just shook her head, realizing she was convulsing.

Having a seizure on the seabed is very dangerous. Without a partner’s help, one would basically turn into a ghost of the seabed. And if this convulsion doesn’t stop, it will infect the whole body, especially since human bodies can easily lose temperature in the hundred-meter deep sea.

Zi Ruoxi breathed with difficulty, gulping seawater, while Qiao Junlie held the back of her neck with one hand, leaning his face forward, mouth-to-mouth supplying her with oxygen. He then moved away and repeated the process several times until Zi Ruoxi gradually felt better. Her spiritual power also began to focus.

Qiao Junlie nodded to her, still holding her waist with one hand. Zi Ruoxi cooperated by turning her body sideways, keeping parallel with him, placing one arm around his strong neck, and stretching the other hand forward to paddle. Qiao Junlie pushed downward with his feet strongly, and their bodies, in a situation of proper coordination and synergy, ascended rapidly.

During their ascent, clusters of colorful coral reefs could be seen everywhere. Qiao Junlie could see boundless tenderness in Zi Ruoxi’s eyes. However, in such circumstances now, he truly wished he had three hands.

The speed of their "gliding" bodies kept increasing, and the brightness of the seabed also increased. The mottled blue and white light was irregular, making Zi Ruoxi bursting with excitement inside...

Qiao Junlie saw it all, his eyes at that moment were like the deep sea, filled with unrepentant tenderness. With one more push, they were directly sent to the sea surface...

The two immediately gasped for air, with salty seawater continuously filling their mouths, washing away the thrilling memories of deep-sea wandering.

...

After pushing Zi Ruoxi onto the yacht, Qiao Junlie remained in the water. Seeing his beloved finally safely ashore, Qiao Junlie floated on the sea, taking a long breath.

"You... you come up quickly!" Zi Ruoxi couldn’t help but shout, but she was still out of breath, appearing somewhat strenuous after consuming too much energy at the seabed. She lay on the deck, hands holding onto the side, calling towards Qiao Junlie in the water, "You come up quickly~"

"... Ruoxi, you wait for me in the cabin first, I’ll be right there," said Qiao Junlie, diving into the sea once more.

"Qiao Junlie, Qiao Junlie..." she called twice, but his figure was already out of sight. Zi Ruoxi couldn’t describe how she felt at the moment, only that it was a mix of emotions, recalling that scene on the seabed, everything rushed up to her Xinjian.

But now, all she could do was helplessly watch the no-longer calm blue sea. It wasn’t the surging waves but hidden reefs that were hard to guard against. Qiao Junlie, what are you doing, are you not done playing? Hurry up...

After about a few moments, when a black spot emerged not far from the sea, Zi Ruoxi was overjoyed beyond control.

"Qiao Junlie, Qiao Junlie... is that you? Qiao Junlie..." Still lying on the deck, Zi Ruoxi called out loudly, perhaps due to a lingering sensation of cramps in her leg, she did not move her body.

With her calls, the other finally revealed a head, slightly long wet hair completely covering the eyes, Qiao Junlie wiped it away with his hand, seeing Zi Ruoxi on the boat, waved a couple of times, and swam vigorously towards her.

Yet, a clear, transparent glow formed inexplicably in the corners of Zi Ruoxi’s eyes. Against the misty fog, she held back the sourness of her nose, struggling to watch him come towards her bit by bit.

Just as he was about to swim over, only two or three more meters to the ship’s edge, the figure that was floating in the sea suddenly sank again.

"Qiao Junlie—" Zi Ruoxi screamed in shock, followed by a sudden arrangement of dark clouds on her beautiful face. Without time to think, she immediately "plopped!" into the sea, swimming towards him.

She struggled, inching closer, Zi Ruoxi enduring the discomfort in her legs and feet, paddling the waves, holding her breath to swim forward, ten meters, eight meters, six meters, four meters...

Suddenly, the shadow submerged in the water surged up again, it was none other than Qiao Junlie.

In an instant, indistinguishable pain flooded her whole body, a thrill directly hitting her heart, tears streaming down her face...

The two once again embraced on the sea surface, at this moment, there was a brief pause, Zi Ruoxi held Qiao Junlie tightly, resting her head on his shoulder, just quietly for a while, letting tears flow silently over her cheeks, dripping onto his neck.

Qiao Junlie felt the warmth on his neck, his heart trembled uncontrollably, did he finally wait for this day?

"Ruoxi... let’s... let’s go up," Qiao Junlie said gently, still spitting seawater from his mouth, lifting her head with one hand, feeling slightly fatigued, perhaps having exhausted his strength in the ocean as well.

"... Okay." Zi Ruoxi nodded tearfully.

Together they swam to the boat’s edge, supporting each other until they held onto the handrail extending into the sea, and slowly climbed onto the deck.

...

It was only then Zi Ruoxi noticed what Qiao Junlie held in his hand.

"This is..." Zi Ruoxi showed a joyful glow.

"For you," Qiao Junlie said warmly, handing the coral reef before her.

Accepting the coral so white and jade-like, Zi Ruoxi suddenly felt a heavy, heavy heart, the same weight as before, but unlike before, her heart was no longer hollow.
