Chapter 2031: Chapter 174: High Tide and Peril
Wu Wei couldn’t describe the kind of emotion he felt at that ti.
He only felt grief, distress, sha, and even resentnt.
The girl he had been thinking about for ten years turned out to be his sister.
She turned out to be the daughter of his father’s mistress.
But back then, when he was living there, he actually really liked Auntie Rong, even to the point of thinking nurous tis,
if only his mother could be so gentle.
He didn’t expect this matter to completely overturn his worldview.
Back then, when his father took him there, it was rely to et his lover.
He was used as a shield.
Even worse, he revered those days that couldn’t be seen as the most beautiful mory of his childhood.
All the black and white in his mind flipped in an instant.
The worldview he had established in his mind all along ca crashing down at that mont.
He couldn’t accept it at all.
He couldn’t accept suddenly having a half-sister.
He couldn’t accept that this sister was Wu ngng.
But even so.
Her resistance didn’t change anything.
His father was determined to have her recognized in the family lineage, and even had her change her na.
His father had succeeded due to his mother’s background, so he had always been compliant to her, even sowhat fearful.
His mother was the chairman of the company and a powerful woman in life.
But in the end, she couldn’t overturn this matter with his father.
After a series of family conflicts, his mother eventually compromised.
Wu ngng stayed in the Wu Family.
This outco made him extrely upset.
He still couldn’t accept it.
So, at that ti, at ho, he always tried everything to make things difficult for her.
Yet the girl, the little loach from his mory, seed like a completely different person.
She no longer had the vitality she used to have.
She beca timid and weak.
She never resisted.
Even those once beautiful eyes were hidden behind thick lenses.
In the Wu Family, she was like an invisible person.
She could even escape his mother’s challenges.
But despite her efforts to hide like a chaleon,
none of it mattered in front of him.
Because his gaze never left her.
He knew her true self, knew her past.
Knew that beneath those dense lenses without prescription were a pair of brilliant and beautiful eyes.
This made him dislike her even more.
Yet he couldn’t suppress certain emotions within him.
He knew he should dislike this person.
This was the daughter of his father and the other woman.
But amid all this anger, he couldn’t stop wanting to get closer.
Wanting to catch her eyes.
He couldn’t believe it, but behind the anger when he saw her, there was a trace of relief.
Relief that she had appeared.
The situation truly erupted when he found out she went to the Night Emperor.
At that mont, seeing her dressed as a bunny girl, he was furious to the extre.
That impulse to tear those people apart.
And the impulse to tear the person in front of him apart.
But seeing her pushed to a corner by everyone, his heart ached enormously.
That’s when he finally started to face certain things.
The emotions flowing through his blood.
Those feelings that surpassed ethics and were condemned by the world.
To him, it was like a black hole, like a vortex.
Once he fell into it, there was no turning back.
When he started to truly face it, it was very painful.
Like moss growing in a dark, damp corner.
Yearning for sunlight.
But once exposed to the light, it couldn’t survive.
After nurous struggles, he finally gave in.
He actually liked Wu ngng.
What a terrifying thought.
Wu Wei had never thought this.
But the muddy little loach had always lived in his mories.
Perhaps he didn’t truly like Wu ngng.
He just liked the little loach, just longed for that free breeze that blew during childhood.
But the reality was so cruel.
The relationship between them could never be clarified.
And for Wu Wei, he couldn’t get over that ntal barrier at all.
But ultimately, he still couldn’t control himself.
He could only watch her secretly.
Though right beside her, he would never be able to express it.
He could only stay by her side in this identity.
Wu Wei didn’t plan to tell anyone about this matter.
Also planned to bury it forever.
Perhaps it was just a youthful disturbance.
Inside, he was both repulsed and longing, struggling and sinking.
Feeling dirty and sordid, but also finding this girl as beautiful as a sunflower.
He couldn’t resist.
That night, he truly thought Wu ngng was asleep.
He watched her for a long ti beside her.
Finally couldn’t hold back.
He leaned down and lightly pecked her lips.
In just one second, he scrambled away.
That night, he barely slept.
Anxious and overwheld in his heart.
Like his inner world was experiencing a massive tsunami.
But he couldn’t help feeling happy.
Couldn’t help but wonder.
At least that must have been the little loach’s first kiss, right?
So when playing a ga that day, hearing the denial from Wu ngng’s own mouth.
He felt incredibly furious.
The feeling of going mad.
But Wu Wei never thought the truth would be like this.
Wu ngng was awake that day.
She knew he had kissed her.
Knew his dark, sordid thoughts.
So, how would she see him?
Wouldn’t she think he was a pervert?
To steal a kiss from his own sister.
This identity was like a thorn piercing his heart.
Sotis he deliberately ignored it.
But only when he thought of it did he feel the unbearable pain.
And at this mont, Wu Wei truly felt the pain.
Didn’t know what mindset to face her with.
Yet, the two of them were living under the sa muted existence.
When Wu Wei arrived beside Wu ngng, she had already fallen asleep.
Just like that, hugging her knees.
Wu Wei looked at her curled up, inexplicably feeling soft-hearted.
Many tis, he always overlapped Wu ngng with the little loach from the past.
But he also felt they were just too different.
Wu Wei sat down beside her.
Originally planning to let Wu ngng sleep in the tent.
But just as he touched Wu ngng.
Wu ngng fell into his arms.
Wu Wei felt as if his blood had solidified.
He didn’t dare move an inch.
And at this mont, Wu ngng moved slightly.
She found a comfortable position in Wu Wei’s arms and continued sleeping.
Wu Wei didn’t know how long he maintained this position, but he felt like he couldn’t even breathe too hard.
Looking at the girl in his arms.
Wu Wei’s heart began to pound.
But couldn’t help but feel warmth spreading.
He suddenly recalled the year, when the two of them slept on the high haystacks together.
The whole person sinking in, soft as could be.
The sky was as blue as a mirror.
Even the wind blowing through felt sweet and fresh.
Wu Wei didn’t expect that he would fall asleep just like that.
He had a dream.
At first, it was beautiful.
He dreamt of running through the rice fields with a little mudfish.
But at so point, the little mudfish suddenly disappeared.
What followed was a huge python.
The python wrapped around his foot and then enveloped his entire body.
He could only feel the icy, suffocating sensation.
He wanted to escape, but couldn’t.
He heard soone constantly calling his na.
It was the little mudfish.
Finally, he woke up.
When he awoke, a wave just crashed over him.
Subrging him entirely.
That was when Wu Wei realized the feeling in the dream wasn’t just a dream.
It was the sea waves.
The seawater was icy cold, relentlessly crashing against him.
Each wave was as tall as a person.
Wu ngng was right next to him, completely soaked.
It seed she had just been awakened by the waves too, and she anxiously said, “Wu Wei, the tide is rising, quickly go and wake the others.”
They had pitched their tent on the beach.
But never knew that at midnight, the tide would rise here.
And the waves were terrifying.
Wave after wave crashed towards them.
The two of them couldn’t stand their ground.
But they tried their best to walk towards the shore.
Wu Wei and Wu ngng shouted, “The tide is rising, wake up.”
They shouted others’ nas with all their might.
But their voices were drowned out by the roaring waves.
Everything happened too fast.
Soon, a wave crashed towards their tent.
By this ti, everyone woke up.
Lu Yinxing was shocked to find seawater seeping into the tent.
Startled awake with a jolt.
Xia Ye seed to have woken up too.
But for a mont, didn’t know what was happening.
However, everyone soon realized.
But the waves ca too fast.
They didn’t even have ti to get out of the tent, and they were already floating on the sea.
Seawater constantly seeped through the tent’s seams.
In an instant, everyone seed to be subrged.
Xia Ye reacted quickly.
Xia Ye said, “The tide is rising, hurry out, get to the shore.”
But the tent was subrged in the sea, with one wave after another.
Getting out wasn’t easy.
The two of them were tossed around in the sea.
After much effort, they finally managed to get out of the tent.
But a wave swept them back into the sea.
From afar, they seed to see the silhouettes of others.
Fortunately, soone reacted quickly.
Already reached the shore.
But Lu Yinxing wasn’t sure who they were.
Lu Yinxing heard them seed to be shouting their nas.
But the orders were fragnted by the sea breeze.
And amidst the waves, there seed to be sounds of others struggling.
Lu Yinxing wasn’t sure who they were.
At this mont, she seed unable to care about anything else.
Her whole body floated and sank like a leaf in the sea.
Lu Yinxing could swim.
She used all her strength to swim towards the shore.
But it was futile.
The waves dragged her back into the sea ti and again.
In the darkness, Lu Yinxing gradually lost her sense of direction.
Lu Yinxing was more worried about Xia Ye.
After being knocked out of the tent, the two were separated by the waves.
When Lu Yinxing surfaced, she kept shouting Xia Ye’s na.
But she couldn’t even hear her own voice.
Lu Yinxing was anxious.
She didn’t know how she encountered such a disaster.
Never before felt such fear.
She couldn’t control her own body.
The entire person was being dragged inward repeatedly.
Like a pair of giant hands, manipulating her body and fate at will.
Lu Yinxing was subrged by several waves.
You swallowed a mouthful of water and couldn’t breathe at all.
The whole person started sinking bit by bit.
She seed to have no strength left to struggle.
For a mont, Lu Yinxing felt she brushed close to the grim reaper.
Her head beca fuzzy, as if she was about to lose consciousness.
But in the blur, Lu Yinxing felt a strength pulling her arm.
Pulled her from the water to the surface.
Lu Yinxing could finally breathe.
And this person kept holding her neck from behind.
That person was Xia Ye.
Lu Yinxing knew.
Xia Ye could swim.
But she thought his swimming skills weren’t as good as hers.
Yet now without him, Lu Yinxing knew she would surely drown.
For so ti, Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye floated on the sea surface.
Lu Yinxing didn’t know how long she drifted in the darkness.
But each minute felt as long as a century.
Fortunately, Xia Ye found their inflatable tent.
Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye lay on the tent, drifting on the water.
Soon after.
The water surface gradually cald down.
With no more waves crashing constantly.
Lu Yinxing finally ca to her senses.
But she couldn’t help but feel scared: “Brother, how did this happen, will we die here?”
Lu Yinxing was very aware of how dangerous they were now.
Floating on the sea’s surface.
If there’s no rescue by tomorrow.
They would quickly die of dehydration.
This wasn’t the most terrifying part.
The most terrifying was the psychological torture.
Lu Yinxing only felt grateful Xia Ye was by her side.
If she faced this situation alone.
Lu Yinxing feared she couldn’t hold on even for a minute.
Xia Ye said, “No, they will find us soon. What we can do now is hold on.”
Lu Yinxing admired Xia Ye.
Despite the situation, he could still maintain a clear and calm mind.
It felt like as long as he was there, everything wasn’t such a big deal.
But Lu Yinxing was still very scared.
She had never experienced anything like this before.
Lu Yinxing’s feet hurt.
Felt like her arms were stung by jellyfish.
Her entire hand was swollen.
Plus soaked in seawater.
Lu Yinxing was in such pain that she began hallucinating.
Xia Ye made Lu Yinxing climb onto the inflatable tent.
But when she did, the tent would sink.
So they could only lie on top.
Lu Yinxing was in excruciating pain, thirsty, and hungry.
Lu Yinxing closed her eyes and said, “Brother, I’m so tired, I want to sleep.”
Xia Ye suddenly said sternly, “Lu Yinxing, no sleeping, talk to , don’t close your eyes. If you dare sleep, I won’t talk to you anymore in the future.”
