Lu Xiao wiped the water off his face and took a slight breath before asking her, "What’s wrong?"
Though he asked, his arms were already encircling her.
Wen Xian wrapped her arms around his neck, burying herself in the nape of his neck and murmuring,
"Lu Xiao, if one day I end up like that sea turtle, injured or unable to walk and lose my freedom, will you still stay with me...?"
Deep down, she knew the answer.
Although Lu Xiao didn’t often express his love in words, he always showed it through his actions.
Still, she inexplicably longed to hear those words from his lips.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao indeed sighed softly.
But he didn’t scold her; instead, he gently stroked her wet hair and said in a low yet gentle voice,
"Wen Xian, don’t think about things that don’t exist. I’ll say just one thing... Nothing, apart from my death, will ever separate me from you in this lifetime..."
At these words, Wen Xian’s heart trembled slightly again.
She immediately said, "Don’t talk nonsense; we will always live well.
Not just for ourselves, but for each other as well.
Because neither of them could bear to part from the other.
At that moment, with only a few others around on the sea, Wen Xian held his neck and looked into his eyes with deep affection.
Both of their eyes were filled with love for each other, one blatantly uninhibited, the other exceptionally deep.
She couldn’t help but lean slightly forward, her nose brushing against his, her eyelids lowered, her breath mingling with his.
She softly said, "Lu Xiao, can you say you love me?"
Seeing that he did not respond, Wen Xian couldn’t help but snuggle into his embrace and cooed, "Say it, Captain Lu, I want to hear it."
To her surprise, Lu Xiao stared at her and slowly said,
"I think love is something we should do more and talk about less."
She hadn’t grasped his meaning when suddenly she felt something on her leg, causing her body to freeze instantly, and her words to catch in her throat.
Wen Xian’s ears visibly reddened at a blazing speed, burning up, making her cheeks flush with heat as well.
What, talk less and do more...?
Had she misunderstood something?
Lu Xiao’s stern, elongated eyes stared at her. Although his expression seemed calm and unchanged, a faint sentence came from his lips,
"If you want to hear it, I’ll tell you tonight."
Wen Xian blushed abruptly and stammered,
"But we aren’t living together tonight..."
Lu Xiao: "Since you want to hear it, that’s up to you."
Seeing his seemingly detached, calm demeanor, Wen Xian felt somewhat displeased and glared at him,
"Stop pretending, Captain Lu, as if you don’t want to say it. Your body is always more honest than your mouth."
After saying this, Wen Xian deliberately brushed against him and then swam toward the yacht.
He glanced downward and suddenly took a deep breath. His large, rough hands passed through his short hair, showing no hurry to board the boat.
As soon as Wen Xian boarded the yacht and hadn’t even had a chance to rest, she suddenly saw a figure following a big black object in the water.
And she was trying to control that creature.
Wen Xian hadn’t quite seen what it was when suddenly Ruan Yiyi surfaced and yelled at her, "Come and help...!"
