As she ran, she scolded, "Stupid woman, do you want to die or what? Run faster!"
At this moment, the shaking of the ship became more intense. Like an earthquake, the most critical time during a sinking is within the first 12 seconds of impact! Every second at this time is precious and must not be wasted!
Jian Anning just felt her hand being firmly grasped by Yu Zexiao’s large hand. Before she could react, he was pulling her, running for their lives. When those hands, which could play the piano so delicately, suddenly grasped hers, their slender and fair fingertips, with a slightly damp warmth, forcefully seized her palm. Before she could even respond, she was already being dragged outside in a mad dash!
Even wearing a life jacket wasn’t safe if they didn’t make it onto the gangplank in time; they would be dragged to the sea floor by the entire yacht!
Although she had been dragged along countless times by Yu Zexiao before, only this time, she didn’t find his domineering behavior repulsive. On the contrary, while looking at his back and being tightly held by his large hand, stumbling forward, she felt an inexplicable touch of emotion in her heart!
Yes, it was emotion. If before those few seconds had passed, she had detested and resented Yu Zexiao’s selfish arrogance, and was confused and angry over his sudden impulsive behavior towards her, now, because of his help, her anger over his previous attempt to violate her had dissipated quite a bit. Of course, it wasn’t very likely that just because of his help at this moment, she would immediately fall in love with Yu Zexiao.
One could only say, although this guy had all kinds of faults, just because he saved her now, he wasn’t all that bad.
At least, at the most critical moment, he wasn’t someone who only knew how to flee for his own life, disregarding the lives of others.
Even if he had a thousand faults, merely for the fact that he didn’t just run away at this time but turned back to pull her along, she would remember this kindness.
——Although, this was still just a bit of emotion, nowhere near enough to make her fall in love with him. But still, his action had quenched the thoughts she had just moments ago about whether to leave him, whether to accuse him.
The yacht wasn’t large, and Yu Zexiao and the others were staying in a prime location upstairs. It took only a few steps to run up to the deck. By then, the swaying of the ship had become minimal. The deck, however, was packed with people to capacity.
Without mentioning others, just within the crew, apart from the actors, there were many others like the directors, stage managers, assistants, and so on. Ling Yichuan and Ling Yinuo, naturally, would bring along their servants and crewmen as well. The yacht’s first officer was leading a few crewmen in evacuating everyone, distributing life jackets, and deploying lifeboats.
When Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning came out, it was chaotic outside. Ling Yichuan, standing tall, saw him from a distance and immediately called out, "Xingxing! Over here!"
Without a word, Yu Zexiao pulled Jian Anning straight toward Ling Yichuan. By this time, there were already many people on the deck. Lu Jiayuan and Jiang Xuanqi were, of course, among the crowd. Both were still in costume, looking panicked. Jiang Xuanqi especially, whose face normally seemed so pure and innocent, was now overtaken by panic!
