Ye Mingmei walked to the edge of the deck, reaching out to grab the railing as she craned her neck to look outside.

The crystal-clear seawater was teeming with various kinds of small fish.

They swayed their beautiful tails as they swam around.

When they encountered a wave, they scattered, but soon they gathered together again.

As Ye Mingmei watched, a sudden sense of peace washed over her.

She didn’t even notice when Yu Xiuzhun left.

When she turned around, there wasn’t a single person left on the deck, only the sea breeze brushing past her cheeks and lifting a few strands of stray hair.

Ye Mingmei’s heart skipped, and just as she was about to call out, she heard the sound of an engine.

Outside the speedboat, a jet ski had already stopped in front of her.

Yu Xiuzhun was riding on it, reaching out his hand towards her, "Come over."

"I’m scared, you ride it alone," Ye Mingmei nervously looked at the vast ocean, then at Yu Xiuzhun, who had his hand extended towards her, and hesitated to step back.

Yu Xiuzhun loved speeding; riding a jet ski, who knows if he’d continue to speed up, and what if they capsized in the ocean?

She definitely didn’t want to be buried with him.

"There are lifeboats nearby, you won’t die!" Yu Xiuzhun caught the fear in her eyes and couldn’t help but shout impatiently.

Damn woman, after being with him for so long, her courage was still so small.

"I’m not afraid of dying; I just don’t want to die with you..." she felt embarrassed.

The last few words squeezed out awkwardly, reluctant to voice them.

"The speedboat’s fuel only got us this far, it’s already out of gas, it can only stay here. If you don’t come back with me, just sit there and wait for the sea breeze to blow you away!" Yu Xiuzhun saw she wasn’t moving, and spoke with a threatening tone.

"Out of gas?!" Ye Mingmei blinked, staring at him in disbelief.

He knew the speedboat’s fuel could only last this far, yet he drove it until it was out of gas!

"Yes, I did it on purpose, you want to bite me?" Yu Xiuzhun seemed to know Ye Mingmei was silently cursing him, and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.

Ye Mingmei really felt like biting him to death!

Biting her lip, she hesitated for a long time before climbing down the ladder onto the speedboat and sitting at the back of the jet ski.

The jet ski swayed, and she quickly reached out to grab Yu Xiuzhun’s arm.

"Grabbing my arm like this affects my driving, you want to fall into the ocean with me?"

"..."

Ye Mingmei glanced at her hand, just as she was about to let go, a gust of wind came by, making the jet ski sway again, and she tightened her grip.

Yu Xiuzhun glanced at her helplessly, wrapped her hand around his strong waist.

Warmth filled Ye Mingmei’s palm, just as she was going to pull back, she heard Yu Xiuzhun’s voice.

"Fall into the sea, and I’ll let the fish take you away!"

"..."

Ye Mingmei half-released her grip and then obediently hugged his waist.

Yu Xiuzhun, satisfied, narrowed his eyes and started the jet ski, heading towards the shore.

The accelerating speed was incredibly thrilling.

Ye Mingmei closed her eyes tightly in fear, not daring to look at all.

In her heart, she cursed Yu Xiuzhun countless times.

Her arms gripped him so tightly they were almost strangling his waist.

The cold seawater splashed onto her face, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Open your eyes and take a look, enjoy the feeling of embracing the ocean; with me here, nothing will happen to you." Yu Xiuzhun’s voice echoed slowly, like a hypnosis.

"..."

Ye Mingmei still clung to her tightly shut eyes, pretending she hadn’t heard him.

"You’ll have an essay assignment when you return. If you don’t take a look, you won’t be able to write, and I’ll keep you locked up in the villa for a month."
