She’s not a primary school student, yet she’s given a prompt for an essay!

Ye Mingmei was so angry that she wanted to glare at him, but as soon as she opened her eyes, the incoming spray of water scared her into shutting them tight.

After a few seconds, she couldn’t resist squinting them open again.

Looking a bit more closely, she realized that the waves were actually not hitting her; they just skimmed past her very slightly.

Occasionally, some water drops would splash on her face, icy and cool... very pleasant.

Gradually, Ye Mingmei became less afraid.

Curiously, she opened her eyes, looking left, then right.

Though she liked the ocean and often came to the beach to relax, she had never chosen such an exciting way before.

Today, she realized that viewing the ocean from a different angle really could change everything.

The sky was still the same sky, but over the sea, it seemed bluer, and the ocean expanse seemed wider.

She wasn’t just a spectator standing by the shore; she now seemed to be part of the ocean itself.

Looking ahead at Yu Xiuzhun driving, his chest was already soaked by the sea water, and his broad back sheltered her from the wind and water. Pressing close to him, she could feel a sliver of warmth.

An unusual thrill coursed through Ye Mingmei’s heart.

"You can try opening your arms and embrace the sea breeze. The ocean is not as scary as you think," Yu Xiuzhun turned his head slightly and said in a soft voice.

Ye Mingmei suddenly snapped back to reality and, subconsciously, did what he suggested.

Gradually unlocking her hands, she tried to be a bit bolder.

The jet ski suddenly jolted, Yu Xiuzhun turned sharply, the angle was too tricky, and the jet ski overturned, tossing both of them into the sea.

Ye Mingmei didn’t even have time to react before the water engulfed her head.

She couldn’t even scream as the waves kept her from lifting her head.

Panicked, she forgot she knew how to swim.

She watched herself sink further below.

Just when she thought she’d end up buried at sea due to misplaced trust in Yu Xiuzhun, an arm suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

Her survival instincts kicked in, and Ye Mingmei instinctively grabbed that hand.

"Swoosh—"

Both burst through the surface, and Ye Mingmei, seeing the person before her, immediately clenched her fist to punch Yu Xiuzhun’s chest.

"I knew you weren’t dependable, you almost scared me to death just now!"

Ye Mingmei’s barely suppressed panic and tears broke through in an instant.

Yu Xiuzhun didn’t say a word, just pulled her into his embrace, letting Ye Mingmei vent.

After a while, sensing her emotions settle down, he slightly parted his lips.

"We’re already near the coast; if you just stand up, you won’t drown."

"..."

"I simply wanted you to know that no matter when, I will always find you and ensure you’re safe."

"..."

Ye Mingmei stared blankly for a good ten seconds before blinking her eyes, raising her little head from Yu Xiuzhun’s embrace, and looking around.

The jet ski they were on had already flipped over, resting on the sea surface.

About a dozen rescue speedboats surrounded them, even if Yu Xiuzhun hadn’t found her in time, someone would have saved her.

He did it on purpose...

Just to prove his inexplicable theory, he scared her half to death!

Mr. Yu, are you sure you know how to console girls?!

Ye Mingmei, soaked all over, couldn’t help but shiver while wrapped in Yu Xiuzhun’s arms, too lazy to argue with him, she stepped towards the shore.

She didn’t want to play with someone so crazy.

After just a few steps, Yu Xiuzhun swept her up horizontally in his arms.

Nearby, a jet ski approached, and an assistant swiftly jumped off, handing it over to Yu Xiuzhun.

The jet ski had clean towels on it as well.
