Chapter 29: How About Leaving Him in the Sea…

Waves crashed against the shore one after another, and the blue sea, which should have been beautiful and mesmerizing, now looked like a monstrous, gaping maw because of the two women who had fallen in.

The green and pale yellow figures bobbed up and down like balloons, seemingly on the verge of being swallowed whole.

Chu Xinran and Qiao Sisi’s fall into the water caught Fang Zhou and the production team completely off guard.

The moment he heard the splash, Fang Zhou immediately dropped his fishing rod and sprinted to where they had fallen, diving in without hesitation!

Two cameramen also hurriedly put down their cameras and ran over.

One who could swim jumped into the water to help, while the other stayed on shore for support.

This unexpected turn of events filled the livestream chat with frantic messages, as viewers who had been admiring the women’s beauty suddenly became concerned for their safety.

“Holy crap! They fell in! Save them!!”

“Sisi! Help, this is too dangerous! Didn’t the production team scout the area and mark dangerous spots?!”

“OMG! This is so sudden. Two people fell into the water. I hope they can swim!”

Cold. The first sensation Fang Zhou felt upon entering the water was the chill.

Even though it was early summer, the water was still freezing. If one wasn’t used to winter swimming, they’d likely be paralyzed by the cold.

The surrounding seawater, like a ravenous beast, pounded against him in relentless waves.

Rescuing someone in the sea was far more challenging than in other bodies of water, fraught with uncertainty.

After barely swimming a few meters, he finally grabbed Chu Xinran’s clothing, but a large wave immediately separated them.

Seawater splashed against his face, making it nearly impossible for Fang Zhou to see anything clearly.

He wiped his face and finally located Qiao Sisi, swimming towards her and preparing to pull her to shore.

However, Qiao Sisi suddenly slipped from his grasp like a slippery fish, sinking deeper into the water.

Fang Zhou didn’t have time to think and dove in to find her.

Qiao Sisi’s green outfit was conspicuous underwater, and he quickly grabbed her.

By this time, Qiao Sisi’s face was turning red from lack of oxygen, her features contorted in agony.

Fang Zhou’s heart sank, and he moved closer, ready to pull her to the surface.

However, Qiao Sisi reacted faster than him, clinging to his neck and dragging him down further.

No! Let go! We’ll die here, Qiao Sisi!

Fang Zhou screamed internally, trying to break free from her grip.

But drowning people have a common trait—they instinctively grab anything within reach in a desperate bid for survival.

Their survival instincts override their rationality, making them cling to anything they believe can save them.

This was why Fang Zhou initially approached her from behind, as drowning people rarely notice what’s behind them.

The more Fang Zhou struggled to break free, the tighter Qiao Sisi held on, and the faster they sank.

What Fang Zhou didn’t know was that while he was desperately trying to save Qiao Sisi, she was having an internal battle.

A voice in her head said, “Take him down to hell with you. He’s the one who dumped you, causing you years of pain. Kill him, and you’ll be free from your suffering.”

“You thought reaching the pinnacle of the entertainment industry would bring you back together, but he never waited for you.”

“He changes women faster than you change endorsements. Why still care for him? He deserves to die.”

When Qiao Sisi met Fang Zhou, she was just a minor celebrity, an almost invisible figure in the entertainment world.

Back then, she still had the innocence of a young girl, with a straightforward and likable personality. She was also a gaming addict.

They met in a competitive game, both impressed by each other’s skills.

Qiao Sisi’s gaming skills were better than any girl Fang Zhou had ever known!

Fang Zhou shamelessly asked for her contact information, and they started playing games together regularly.

The dopamine from gaming quickly made Fang Zhou fall for Qiao Sisi.

He found an opportunity to confess, his voice trembling.

At the time, neither had experienced love. Faced with this innocent romance, Qiao Sisi hesitated but eventually agreed.

They enjoyed a sweet online romance before Fang Zhou suggested meeting in person.

Qiao Sisi’s first reaction was fear—afraid she wouldn’t meet his expectations.

But the calm and steady voice of the young man reassured her.

He said, “I like your soul, not your appearance. If you think I’m unreliable, we can continue this way until you trust me.”

They met, and surprisingly, they liked each other even more.

But unfortunately, their story ended in a cliché…

Seeing the young man struggling desperately, the darkness in Qiao Sisi’s heart grew.

How about we stay here together…

Another voice argued, “Give him another chance. If he chooses you again, let bygones be bygones.”

“Qiao Sisi, can you really let his soul forever remain in this cold sea?”

“Let him go, and free yourself too.”

These conflicting voices alternated in Qiao Sisi’s mind, causing the light in her eyes to flicker.

Finally, as Fang Zhou was about to stop struggling, Qiao Sisi opened her eyes again.

Her hand still rested on the back of Fang Zhou’s neck, her legs moving like a fish’s, bringing her closer to him.

Under Fang Zhou’s incredulous gaze, Qiao Sisi raised her head and pressed her soft lips against his.

The long-missed warmth wrapped around her, making her body tremble with excitement, and her hand fell from Fang Zhou’s neck.

At that moment, she felt a sigh from the depths of her soul.

“I’ve missed this feeling so much…”

With the oxygen transferred through the kiss, Fang Zhou’s oxygen-deprived brain finally cleared.

The softness on his lips, accompanied by the seawater, overwhelmed his senses.

He suddenly widened his eyes, pushed Qiao Sisi away, and swam upwards with all his might.

Qiao Sisi can swim! This crazy woman!
