BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45
Some time had passed since the director leaped into the lake but there was still no sight of the drowning woman!
Someone shouted at the water, “Director, what’s going on? Are you alright?”
Director Cheng heard the shouting from the shore. However, he could not possibly say he failed to rescue the woman because she refused to be touched!
He had no idea why that woman was so stubborn to not be approached despite only being half-conscious. Her defense mechanisms were unbelievable.
“Director, is she unconscious? You have to do something!”
Artificial respiration?
For reasons unknown to himself, the director was taken aback and his cheeks were suddenly red with embarrassment. Fortunately, he was still in the water thus the others could not really see him clearly from a distance.
Indeed, the freezing water had taken away her breath and her life might be in danger if this continued on. He had to rescue her right away.
He did not fathom the nervousness that was rising inside him. The thought of that made his heart skip a beat.
However, how could he help her if he was not even allowed near her?
Right this instant, Li Shengxia was slowly losing her consciousness because of the leg cramps, yet she was still resisting the others’ touch.
No… She did not want… No CPR…
She tried to force these words out of her mouth but her consciousness was slipping out from her mind.
Director Cheng evidently felt her determined resistance but she could not stay in the water for any longer because of the leg cramps. He decided to ignore her reluctance and proceed with the artificial respiration.
At the thought of this, he started swimming nearer to her.
However, just when he was still thinking about how to begin, someone jumped into the water out of the blue!
“Splash!” Soft splashes sounded behind him, sending a firework-like ripple across the surface. The silhouette leaped into the water in a surprisingly graceful manner.
Gina’s eyes widened in shock. She began walking toward the shore subconsciously in a hurried pace.
That person…
That person… She was certain about it… Was that Mo Nianchen?
The agent had no idea why the woman suddenly became so nervous. “Gina, watch your steps, be careful not to fall into the lake. The director was already saving her and another volunteer jumped in as well. She’ll be alright.”
Color drained off Gina’s face.
Meanwhile, in the water.
Mo Nianchen quickly swam toward Li Shengxia. He pushed away the director who was trying to approach her and grabbed her wrists swiftly.
The woman, who felt someone grabbing her, immediately began resisting.
“Stupid woman, I dare you to push me away again!” he said coldly.
Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!
“Don’t touch me…”
A complicated feeling materialized in his heart. His voice was laced with a hint of tenderness when he spoke next. “Xiaxia, it’s me…”
It seemed like the woman stopped resisting upon hearing that voice. Director Cheng was shocked at the sight.
Mo Nianchen easily approached the person he had been trying to reach in the water and successfully transferred his breath to her.
That particular scene was beyond beautiful, with air bubbles slowly surfacing from the bottom. The two people were so intimate, as if nothing could break them apart, not to mention she did not resist even the slightest bit.
There was an expression on Director Cheng’s face that he could not quite place. He thought it was wonderful that she was still alive but also regretted slightly that the beautiful dream ended before he had a chance to place his lips near hers…
He did not understand why the woman who showed so much resistance to himself could be so serene in another person’s embrace…
Was it because that man was the person she was waiting for all along?
Mo Nianchen and Li Shengxia locked lips over and over again as he transferred his breath into her mouth. She showed no sign of resistance through the process.
She was slowly regaining the oxygen that had been taken away from her earlier, as if someone was pulling her away from the dark abyss. The familiarity of this person’s presence calmed her down…
Upon noticing the woman regaining her breathing, he swam toward her back. He used one arm to lock her wrists behind her back to prevent further resistance, and with another arm he quickly swam toward the shore.
She felt as if she had fallen into a warm embrace!
There was a sense of familiarity in this touch that made her lose all intention to resist. This was because she had once drowned herself in this embrace before…
His words kept ringing in her mind. ‘Xiaxia, it’s me…”
Not someone else but me…
The person you had been waiting for…
Although she could not muster the strength to open her eyes, she felt strongly that the person was indeed Mo Nianchen!
She could not process any more thoughts in her brain right now.
He helped her up to the shore.
“Hurry, give him a hand!” One of the crew shouted upon seeing figures surfacing from the water.
The first person who reappeared was Director Cheng. He extended his arm immediately once he got back to his feet, with the intention of receiving the woman from the other man’s arms.
However, the latter ignored him entirely and carried her to the shore on his own.
There was no time for the director to feel embarrassed. At the same time, Gina shouted nervously, “Li Shengxia, can you hear me?”
She was currently next to the woman. She was overcome with concern, knowing that Mo Nianchen would never forgive if something bad was to happen to the woman.
Simultaneously, standing right in front of this woman, a thought popped into Gina’s mind. What did Li Shengxia even try so hard? She had the crown prince as her backup so why bother bringing this trouble upon herself?
At the sound of Gina’s voice, Li Shengxia suddenly grabbed the hem of the former’s dress and said weakly. “Can you? Can you consider being my model? Gina…”
How could she be thinking about this when she had not even fully recovered her consciousness? Gina was taken aback. She initially thought of just teasing the woman and ridiculing her later without giving much thought to accepting her offer.
However, upon looking at the stubborn woman, Gina felt as if someone was strangling her.
This was why she hated Li Shengxia. How could she put so much effort into trying to make something so trivial work?
She stepped back instinctively.
But the other woman grabbed the hem of her dress again, looking at her with her eyes faintly opened…
Gina’s lips twitched. “Okay,” she promised finally.
A smile flashed across Li Shengxia’s face. “I’ll discuss… Discuss the details with you later…” She felt dizziness wash over her all of a sudden before she could finish the sentence. Darkness overcame her…
This was not the time to be thinking about this!
Stupid woman!
Mo Nianchen threw a murderous glare in Gina’s direction, as if trying to express his determination to crush her into pieces if anything bad happened to Li Shengxia.
