"What are you still waiting for? Hurry and jump, or it'll be too late!"
Qin Hui shouted at the noblewoman.
Only then did Su Shijun clearly see the person who had arrived. It was the sailor she had met at noon that day. She never expected him to come to her rescue at such a moment.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Shijun leaped towards Qin Hui.
Just a few seconds after Su Shijun jumped, the deck she had been standing on sank into the sea with a loud crash, along with those who hadn't managed to escape in time.
Bang.
Qin Hui caught Su Shijun as she jumped into his arms, but before they could exchange pleasantries, the deck Qin Hui was on also began to sink.
"Hold on to me!"
Qin Hui yelled at the beautiful woman.
Su Shijun was stunned, but she knew this was not the time to cause Qin Hui trouble. Without hesitation, she held onto Qin Hui tightly.
Qin Hui looked around and, thankfully, spotted a lifebuoy. He quickly ran towards it.
Boom!
Heaven did not favor Qin Hui. A massive wave swept towards him, crushing his hopes.
Splash. Qin Hui and Su Shijun finally fell into the sea.
"What do we do? I... I don't want to die."
A low voice sounded in Qin Hui's ear.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you die."
Qin Hui wasted no time and began swimming in the intended direction. As a ninth-level martial artist, Qin Hui was confident he could swim to the isolated island, as it was his only hope of survival!
Shortly after Qin Hui swam away, great white sharks, drawn by the scent of blood, began to swim over. They were not stingy with human flesh, and a single bite could take three men.
Upon seeing the great white sharks, Qin Hui's swimming speed undoubtedly increased. If these creatures targeted him, even he, as powerful as he was, would perish.
Fortunately, bad luck did not always follow Qin Hui, and these great white sharks did not pursue him.
Having escaped the deadly danger, Qin Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, his nerves finally relaxing.
In contrast, the beautiful woman behind him had fallen asleep from sheer fright. Even in her sleep, her limbs clung to Qin Hui like an octopus, as if afraid of falling into the sea.
As the first ray of morning sunlight rose from the sea horizon, the beautiful woman behind Qin Hui slowly opened her eyes.
"I... I'm still alive."
Su Shijun's face was filled with surprise and disbelief. She had thought she was doomed.
Then, Su Shijun noticed Qin Hui. It was this man who had pulled her back from the brink of death. Looking at Qin Hui swimming with all his might, Su Shijun felt a surge of gratitude.
"Thank... thank you."
Su Shijun's voice was hoarse with emotion.
"A 'thank you' is a bit too simple. Aren't you planning to repay me with some practical action?"
Qin Hui said playfully as he swam.
Hearing the words "practical action," Su Shijun's face turned slightly red.
Even at a time like this, this guy dared to tease her.
"My name is Su Shijun. By the way, why did you come to save me? If you hadn't saved me, you would have had a much higher chance of survival."
Su Shijun asked. Although she was very grateful to Qin Hui, they had only met once, and he had come to save her.
"Do you really want to know?"
Qin Hui asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Su Shijun nodded.
"I took a liking to you. Think about it, a plump and beautiful woman like you would surely be very grateful to me if I saved you. In the end, you might even pledge yourself to me. If I save you, aren't I winning?"
Qin Hui said with a shameless grin.
"You!"
Su Shijun was so angry that her ample bosom heaved. She had seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless.
"By the way, my name is Qin Hui. You can call me Brother Hui."
Since he had nothing else to do, Qin Hui chatted with the beautiful woman behind him.
In this boundless sea, wouldn't it be terribly boring without someone to chat with?
"Brother Hui? I think calling you 'Little Hui Zi' suits you better, like an ancient eunuch."
Su Shijun said speechlessly. This guy was clearly younger than her, yet he wanted to take advantage of her with his words. He was truly shameless.
She really didn't know if being saved by him was a good thing or a bad thing.
Gurgle.
After they chatted for a while, Su Shijun's stomach audibly rumbled.
She hadn't eaten since last night and was already starving.
As a mature and elegant woman, her stomach growling was undoubtedly the most embarrassing thing.
"Sister Shijun, are you hungry?"
Qin Hui asked with a smile.
"I... I'm not hungry."
Su Shijun said awkwardly. She no longer cared that Qin Hui was calling her 'Sister' so familiarly. The most important thing was that they were at sea, and whether they could survive was still a question, let alone the trivial matter of hunger.
"If you're hungry, you're hungry. It's not like I don't have food. Don't worry, if you follow me, I guarantee you'll eat well."
Qin Hui took out a can of pork from his pocket and handed it to Su Shijun. As a sailor, cans like these were abundant in the yacht's rear cabin. Qin Hui had occasionally taken a few while on patrol, and no one had noticed.
Upon seeing the can, Su Shijun's eyes lit up, but she quickly realized how shameless Qin Hui was.
What did he mean by "eat well if you follow me," as if she were going to be with him forever?
Chomp!
Su Shijun opened the can and carefully ate with a small spoon.
"Qin Hui, after this shipwreck, you'll come work for me. Don't be a sailor anymore."
Su Shijun said as she ate the canned food.
Since Qin Hui had saved her, Su Shijun naturally wanted to offer him a good job. After all, seafaring was too dangerous.
"Oh? So Sister Shijun, you're very capable?"
Qin Hui asked curiously. After all, those who could afford to be on this yacht were all wealthy. Introducing him to a job would be effortless, wouldn't it?
"Sister here is the mayor of Jianghai City."
Su Shijun said proudly. She had been teased by this young man all along, and if she didn't show some of her capabilities, this young man probably wouldn't respect her.
"Really? Sister Shijun, you're the mayor? Heh heh, no wonder you're so mature and steady. You're a good older sister."
Qin Hui said with a bit of surprise.
The position of mayor was far superior to that of a rich businessman. No wonder Su Shijun had been so composed all along.
"Sister Shijun, are you traveling alone this time? Didn't your husband accompany you?"
Qin Hui asked curiously. It would be a shame to miss such a good opportunity.
Upon hearing this, Su Shijun's expression dimmed.
"Don't mention him. He divorced me years ago for his political career, leaving just me and our daughter."
Su Shijun said with some regret and sadness. Who wouldn't want a happy family?
But once both parties are dedicated to their work, such a family is destined to be unhappy.
