If she had to choose, she would be willing to die, not to mention for Lu Jianqing. She did not know for how long she had loved this man, until she had already settled into her heart and could not forget him ever again.

"I don't want to!"

However, it was too late to do anything about it. The boat could no longer withstand the amount of water in the water and had already begun to sink.

This speed was extremely fast, and the two of them instantly felt the terrifying gravitational force.

"Lu Jianqing! It's going to sink! "

Before he could finish his sentence, the last piece of dry area beneath his feet was covered by the sea water. First it was his ankle, then it was his calf; before he could even react, it was already at his waist.

Lu Jianqing wanted to push her away, but she immediately reacted and subconsciously hugged him.

Now that the life jacket was on her, if Lu Jianqing just pushed her away like that, he would be dead meat.

Although a life jacket could not bear the weight of two people, as long as there was a chance of survival, she absolutely could not give up.

"Let go of me!"

Lu Jianqing shouted as he pushed her body forward. He naturally knew what Xu Liunian meant, but if this continued, it was very likely that both of them would die.

"Don't! Lu Jianqing, don't push me away, I beg you! "

The hoarse crying sound exploded in his ears. Lu Jianqing was stunned for a moment, and actually forgot to push her away.

He was not in a position to think for too long. He nodded and replied, "Okay."

Right now, he could only agree. Under such circumstances, preserving his physical strength was the most important. Excitement consumed his physical strength the most.

Receiving the answer, Xu Liunian immediately relaxed her mind, and the strength in his hands became a lot less. Lu Jianqing grabbed her arm, and the two of them separated by a distance.

At this moment, the two of them were completely submerged in the sea water. Their chests were covered and their necks were constantly moving up and down.

When they separated, they instantly choked on the water, causing Xu Liunian to be unable to control herself and start coughing.

The water was salty and astringent, and the endless darkness frightened her, but the man in front of her comforted her.

The two of them were already soaked to the skin, and even the moonlight was extremely weak. However, they were still able to see each other clearly from the reflection of the sea water.

She didn't know if she should be happy or sad. They had never looked at each other so closely before.

Lu Jianqing frowned slightly. He raised his hand to wipe her tears, but to no avail. Instead, he brought the seawater back with him, making him unsure of what to do.

Xu Liunian felt happy. This kind of gentleness was something she had always wished for, but now it had happened so suddenly, without warning. It was just that the timing and the situation were not right.

The water level didn't even reach his chest and he would soon be unable to breathe. Moreover, the waves would cover him layer by layer and his strength would be depleted very quickly.

Lu Jianqing didn't care about anything else as he turned around and swam towards the direction Xu Liunian had come from.

The difficulty of swimming in the sea could be imagined, not to mention the fact that he was dragging a person along with him.

"Lu Jianqing, let me go, I know how to swim!"

She tried her best to break the hand on her arm. She didn't think that she would become a burden at such a time.

However, even though his fingers were already starting to turn purple, he did not relax the slightest bit. "No way!"

The coastline in the distance was hopeless. Even after swimming for so long, he still didn't feel any closer.

Furthermore, she also clearly felt that Lu Jianqing's physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, to the point where he was even beginning to pant heavily.

Borrowing the buoyancy of the life jacket, she moved one hand forward while the other hand quietly undid all of the buttons. Borrowing Lu Jianqing's hand that was holding her arm, she directly put the life jacket over his arm.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Lu Jianqing's reaction speed was much weaker than before. He turned his head to look at her and immediately frowned.

"What do you want?"

As soon as his voice came out, it was already weak. Compared to the sound when the boat was sinking, it sounded like a completely different person. His stamina had almost reached its limit.

If it were not for the life jacket, Xu Liunian would have already gone into the ocean to bid farewell to the world, Xu Liunian thought.

Seeing that Lu Jianqing did not have the strength to struggle, she did not hesitate, directly pulling his other arm and putting on the life jacket.

Having lost the buoyancy of her life jacket, she felt a lot heavier and choked on a few more mouthfuls of water, but she still forced herself to continue pushing him forward.

"No, you wear it."

Lu Jianqing was no longer able to speak loudly, and spoke with a very plain and slightly anxious voice, while his hands slowly took off his life jacket.

The tears that had dried up once again began to flow down his face.

Enough, enough.

She had never hoped for anything, never hoped for Lu Jianqing's love, never accepted his pity. She knew her own identity, and she also knew who the person Lu Jianqing loved was.

But now, the man she loved deeply had done this for her. He was truly willing to give up his life for her. Even with a life jacket, the chances of him surviving were very slim.

Lu Jianqing being able to do this for her, was already something she was willing to give up his life for.

At least he would know that someone cared about him before he died. Even if he died, he would be able to close his eyes and smile.

She held down Lu Jianqing and shook his head.

"Lu Jianqing, you must live. If you die, I will die with you immediately. As long as you live, I will be able to hold on.

Their eyes met, and in their eyes, there was something that she had been hiding from them all this time. She didn't want to tell anyone.

Do you know that I love you, Lu Jianqing!

I'm willing to give up everything for you.

The moment she opened her mouth, a dazzling beam of light shot over. The strong light prevented her from opening her eyes in the pitch-black night. Immediately, she reflexively closed her eyes.

Then, the sound of engine rumbling came. The light beam moved away and she finally opened her eyes, only to discover that Lu Jianqing had already pulled her to swim towards the light beam.

A closer look revealed that there were two motorized boats in the distance, heading towards them at full speed.

Xu Liunian was overjoyed, and shouted out loud while waving her hand at that direction as if by reflex.

"Here! We are here! "

His voice pierced through the cold night sky. He had never been this excited before. This was the joy of surviving and the joy of not being separated from the Yin and Yang of someone he loved.

His whole body was full of strength, and he was actually pushing him forward.
