His voice was very loud, as if he were shouting, and it was evident that his rage was caused by her!
Ye Ning finally stood still, her eyes wide open as she looked at him, her expression that of a child who had been startled, filled with confusion, terror, and trembling...
She did not seem like someone who was scared of jumping into the sea, but rather as if there was some man-eating creature below that would consume her alive. The fear and fright in her eyes were so intense that even he was taken aback.
What exactly was she afraid of?
Could it be that what she truly feared was not the jump into the sea?
Ou Mucen saw those eyes brimming with transparent droplets due to terror, and finally, something inexplicably choked up inside him, his tone softened, "I won’t let you die. Even if we jump, I’ll always be by your side."
This was the first time he had ever said such words to a woman!
He would not let her die. He would always be by her side. For the first time in his 28 years, he made such a promise.
Ye Ning finally stopped struggling, letting him lead her step by step to the edge of the cliff, where she heard the sound of her blood ceasing to flow in her veins.
And in her chest, her heart was ’thumping, thumping, thumping’ with violent beats!
"One, two, three... jump!"
The moment she was pulled down, Ye Ning still screamed heartrendingly!
It was the sound of fear pushed to its limits, as if someone with a fear of heights was pushed off a rooftop, or like someone who fears snakes found one deliberately placed inside their body.
That sensation was a hundred times more cruel than falling into hell itself!
It was then, on the spot where the two had just stood, that a blaze finally exploded!
Following a loud ’bang’, a massive fireball rose up, and countless rocks blasted off the cliff edge, emitting a series of terrifying, deafening booms.
Ou Mucen, hearing it from below and feeling the air currents shift around him, immediately yanked the small hand in his palm toward himself, and the two of them plunged into the sea together!
The sudden, all-encompassing chill finally halted the woman’s screaming.
But this cessation did not mean she became calm; instead, upon entering this tranquil yet icy world, she began to thrash wildly like a lunatic, as if she had entered the most terrifying place in her nightmares.
Did she have a death wish?
Ou Mucen, who had been holding onto her, was initially swimming towards the shore with her after they hit the water, but seeing her violent struggling, he had no choice but to swim over to try to bring her up for air.
Otherwise, she would surely drown here.
However, before his other hand could even touch her, she started flailing and kicking wildly, as if electrocuted.
Indeed, those who can’t swim often struggle uncontrollably out of instinct when drowning, and this is why many would-be rescuers end up ensnared and drowned themselves.
That was exactly how Ou Mucen felt, and thoughts of strangling her crossed his mind.
But in the end, he did not strangle her. Instead, as he saw her struggling less and less and the bubbles from her mouth decreasing, he, almost as if punishing her, dragged her over and pressed her fiercely against his lips!
