Staring at the great white shark that suddenly burst from the sea, soaring through the air, An Qi was so frightened that she lost her balance and tumbled into the water.
On the other side, Lin Yifan immediately clenched his fist, summoning all the strength within his body before bellowing fiercely and landing a heavy punch on the great white shark as it fell from the sky.
In an instant, the several-hundred-pound, several-meter-long great white shark was sent flying, eventually splashing down into the vast ocean, stirring up huge swaths of white foam.
Meanwhile, the blue waters were filled with bright red blood, a crimson expanse.
Wounded, the great white shark fled, while Lin Yifan was left exhausted, floating on the sea's surface, gasping for air.
It had taken a Herculean effort to defeat the great white shark; now, his right hand was oozing blood, skin flayed, and the bones in his hand intermittently ached intensely, an extreme discomfort.
"Man vs. Shark, the big pervert wins! Oh yeah! Awesome! Awesome! Totally awesome!" An Qi cheered ecstatically from the bottom of the motorboat.
However, a wave suddenly hit her head-on, and she was engulfed by the sea once again.
Surfacing, An Qi coughed violently, clearly having swallowed a lot of seawater.
"Enjoying it, eh? Always knowing how to be mischievous," Lin Yifan chided.
"I was celebrating for you, dancing and singing, why scold, really," An Qi retorted with a coy complaint, feeling aggrieved.
Hearing this, Lin Yifan immediately felt his earlier words had indeed been too harsh and quickly apologized, "Alright, my fault, sorry! There, there! Don't be angry!"
"Hmph!" An Qi snorted coldly and then firmly declared, "If it happens again, I will never forgive."
"OK!" Lin Yifan made a gesture and continued, "Let's hurry and leave this place. If another one comes, it'll be trouble."
Now he was utterly drained and injured, and if another great white shark appeared, they could be in real danger; furthermore, the shark he had battled was a young one. If an adult came now, he figured they might both meet their end here, so it was best to leave at once.
Hearing Lin Yifan say this, An Qi quickly swam over; she did not want to be eaten by the terrifying shark.
After flipping the capsized motorboat back over, Lin Yifan climbed aboard; then he pulled An Qi up.
As soon as An Qi sat on the motorboat, she immediately hugged Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan's bravery, facing off alone against a great white shark, had almost turned her into an infatuated fan; though this shark wasn't fully grown, its strength was formidable, not something an ordinary person could handle.
"Big pervert! You're so manly!" An Qi praised with a blushing face from behind, feeling like the man she liked was awesome.
Upon hearing this, An Qi immediately got irritated, "Pervert! Are you always this lewd, huh?"
"Can't blame me for that, you're the one who tempted me into lewdness," Lin Yifan replied seriously, pushing all the responsibility onto An Qi.
"Bad guy! Stinky bad guy! You have to take responsibility for me! Otherwise, I'll never be able to marry," An Qi continued to pummel Lin Yifan's back, coquettishly protesting.
By now, she was dead set on Lin Yifan.
"If you can accept sharing a husband with another woman, I would not hesitate to take responsibility for you," Lin Yifan said with a wicked smile.
"In your dreams! I will absolutely not accept sharing a husband with another woman," An Qi responded.
"Then I suppose there's nothing I can do!" Lin Yifan responded, spreading his hands.
"You... die, pervert! Stinky pervert! Always taking advantage and not taking responsibility! Always taking advantage and not taking responsibility..." An Qi complained while hitting Lin Yifan on the back.
"Okay! Stop hitting me! Let's get out of here and then we can talk about this," Lin Yifan urged.
Looking at the turbulent, bottomless sea, An Qi finally stopped hitting him; they hadn't fully escaped danger yet, so they couldn't let their guard down.
Only after An Qi stopped, did Lin Yifan try to start the motorboat.
"Chuichuichuichui!!!"
After several attempts, Lin Yifan still could not start the motorboat, which made him anxious. If they didn't have the motorboat, how would he take An Qi away from this vast sea?
"Big pervert, can you get it started?" An Qi asked, tense and worried; obviously, she was also afraid they would be left adrift in this dangerous, vast sea.
"Don't know! Trying again!" After saying that, Lin Yifan attempted to start the motorboat once more.
However, just at that moment, several triangular shark fins suddenly appeared on the distant sea surface; these shark fins were moving towards them!
"Ahhh!!!" An Qi screamed in terror, startling Lin Yifan, who was trying to start the motorboat.
Lin Yifan then asked, annoyed, "What are you screaming about in broad daylight!"
"Big pervert! Sharks! Lots of sharks!" An Qi said, pointing towards the shark fins that were moving in their direction.
Alerted by An Qi's warning, Lin Yifan sharply turned to look and indeed saw a group of great white sharks swimming towards them.
Among these great whites, he noticed one enormous figure, likely an adult great white shark, and it gave him quite a scare.
"My goodness! Is this how the heavens plan to end me?" Lin Yifan was extremely nervous, shaking all over.
He hurriedly kept trying to start the motorboat. Now there was no escaping; only this F1 motorboat could save them both.
"Chuichuichuichui!!!"
Despite repeated attempts, the motorboat was like a dead machine, just refusing to start.
As the group of vicious great white sharks swam closer and closer, Lin Yifan broke out in a cold sweat, his whole body trembling, his anxiety and fear beyond words.
"Big pervert! Hurry up! Hurry up! The great white sharks are almost upon us," An Qi urged, tugging on Lin Yifan's clothes from behind, extremely anxious.
Clearly, she was terrified as well.
"Stop pulling my clothes! I'm more anxious than you are!" Lin Yifan said, and then continued trying to start the motorboat, murmuring to himself, "Come on, start! Come on, start!"
An Qi stopped bothering Lin Yifan; because she could feel Lin Yifan's hurry and fear, which were no less than her own; so there was no point in rushing him.
Looking at the group of cold-blooded, merciless great white sharks fast approaching, her heart suddenly found peace; then she rested her head on Lin Yifan's back and said in despair, "To die with you would be without regrets!"
