nIn his heart, frustration started building up for no reason.

nHe felt like lashing out.

nWen Xuxu shrugged. “Then there’s no other way, swimming is not within a secretary’s job scope.”

nHer clothes were a little damp and there wasn’t any sunlight at the foot of the mountain. As she sat here, her body started to shiver once more.

nShe bent her legs and rested her chin on her knees. Her arms tightly hugged her legs, curling her body into the shape of a ball.

nHer head was spinning and her flu symptoms worsened.

n“Wen Xuxu, are you alright?” Yan Rusheng turned around and saw that Wen Xuxu was huddled over and shivering. He was about to reproach her when he changed his mind.

nHe stood up and moved towards her, stretching out his hand to touch her forehead. “Your forehead feels icy.”

n“Mm.” Wen Xuxu nodded in response and took a breath. She continued, “All the more reason I can’t swim across to get help.”

nShe had a helpless smile on her face.

nYan Rusheng frowned. “You make it sound as though I love to torment my staff.”

nWas he that unkind? He obviously knew that she was unwell, how could he make her swim across to get help?

nAnyway, she was the one who suggested that he should swim across to get help. He only said that he wouldn’t do it but he didn’t insist that she should swim across as well.

nWen Xuxu remained silent and smiled instead.

nShe wanted to ask, But you do, don’t you?

nHe obviously does, alright?

nHe was always bullying and tormenting her.

nAfter her body felt cool for a period of time, Wen Xuxu began to feel warm and slowly her body temperature increased.

nHer cheeks, forehead, and body were all burning up.

nShe slowly bent her body and lay on the rock. A shiny rock, that was what she wanted.

n“Hey, Wen Xuxu don’t sleep here. You have already caught a cold.” Yan Rusheng grabbed Wen Xuxu’s slender arms and pulled her up.

nHe could feel that her body was getting hotter. He glanced at the sea and a determined look glowed in his eyes.

nThen he glanced at Xuxu. “Wen Xuxu, sit here and wait but don’t fall asleep. Beware of the snakes.”

nWen Xuxu heard the word ‘snake” and she sat up energetically as if she’d been injected with steroids.

nThe next second, she heard a ‘splash’ and droplets of water splattered on her face.

nAfter she collected herself, she peered at the sea. “Yan Rusheng…”

nXuxu stood up anxiously and yelled loudly towards the sea.

nAround ten seconds later, Yan Rusheng’s head emerged from the water; he’d already swum several meters.

nAlthough this place was close to the coast and the waves were quite gentle, Wen Xuxu was still worried. She was concerned about Yan Rusheng’s stamina or the probability of unexpected accidents.

nHer heart was in her mouth until she finally saw that Yan Rusheng had reached the coast, gradually alleviating her worries.

nHer four limbs were weak and aching and she knew that she was running a fever. She stepped back, slowly slumped down and sat on the rock.

nShe lowered her head and saw a pair of casual white leather shoes. Yan Rusheng had removed the shoes and placed them on the rock he’d sat on just now.
