Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Sudden Accident, Sunken Ship

Entering the cabin, Shen Yanhe saw the guests and staff gathered at the bow.

Song Shiwei waved at her when she saw her, "Little He Miao, come over and watch Qi Zeyi fish."

Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she walked toward the bow.

Qi Zeyi was fishing with an old fisherman, each seated on a small stool, while the director held the equipment and live-streamed beside them.

Qi Zeyi saw her and pointed at the bait next to him, asking her, "Want to give it a try?"

During the days of recording the program, the crew hadn’t prepared any diving equipment, forbade the guests from going into the sea, and didn’t allow fishing on the other side of the island; they could only fish in the safety area designated by the crew.

The safety area was all shallow water, and Qi Zeyi, with a fishing rod in hand, hadn’t caught a single fish in seven days.

The most they got were crabs and shellfish washed up on the shore.

Now that they were about to return, naturally, they wanted to indulge in some fun.

Shen Yanhe touched her chin, feeling the itch to try herself, she nodded, "Sure."

The cheerful old fisherman beside Qi Zeyi gladly gave her his fishing rod, and the two sat side by side fishing.

The audience in the live stream went crazy when they saw Shen Yanhe appear.

[Ahhh! A solitary boat! I’m directly calling him hubby!]

[A solitary boat hasn’t fished before, right? She seems a bit clumsy with the fishing rod.]

[Sea fishing isn’t for everyone, you need an old fisherman to teach.]

[It doesn’t matter, as long as I can see my hubby, it’ll be a long time before the next recording, I’ll have to go a long time without seeing my hubby again.]

Just as the audience in the live stream was guessing that Shen Yanhe’s cast would come up empty, they saw her easily catch a sea fish.

[...]

[To those above, feeling slapped in the face yet?]

[I’m now convinced there’s nothing the great A Solitary Boat can’t do.]

Qi Zeyi, who still hadn’t had any luck with his fishing rod, looked at Shen Yanhe in surprise, "Have you gone sea fishing before?"

Shen Yanhe slowly reeled in her line, "Mhm, I’ve been out to sea before."

In those years searching for medicinal herbs, there wasn’t a place Shen Yanhe hadn’t been to.

Primitive Forest, highlands, snow-capped mountains, deserts, isolated islands at sea—her traces could be found everywhere.

After all, the best medicinal herbs grew in undisturbed and secluded places; without some survival skills, it was truly impossible to obtain them.

Over time, she had honed those survival skills.

[I’ve said it, A Solitary Boat has become more and more mysterious over the years, turns out she’s been out having adventures.]

[I want to have adventures too, but I’d rather have them on A Solitary Boat’s bed.]

[emmmm, but don’t you guys think, Qi Zeyi and A Solitary Boat seem very familiar with each other?]

[I thought so too, Qi Zeyi is usually so cool and indifferent, but around Shen Yanhe, he somehow seems unexpectedly tender.]

Yu Jiao, who was always paying attention to the live stream, saw these two comments and knew her chance had come.

She logged into her alt Weibo account, found a marketing account with a large following, clicked into his DMs, and sent him a message.

[Graceful and Alluring]: I have some explosive news about Qi Zeyi and A Solitary Boat, give me fifty thousand, and this news is yours.

[A-List Entertainment Sir]: Who are you? How can I believe you with just your word?

[Graceful and Alluring]: I’m a temp hired by the "Survival on a Deserted Island" crew, I accidentally took some photos, you can give me a deposit, I’ll give you the material, and if you’re satisfied you can pay the rest.

A-List Entertainment Sir, after considering the message from Yu Jiao, agreed without hesitation.

Now that Qi Zeyi and A Solitary Boat were at the peak of their popularity, if they could have the first-hand explosive news, it would bring them much more than the fifty thousand they’d be giving out.

Yu Jiao was relieved to see the marketing account agree and sent them the number of an overseas bank card she had previously set up for travel abroad. After receiving the deposit, she sent over the photos she had taken.

Just as the photo was sent, the cabin suddenly shook violently.

Yu Jiao, totally unprepared, was thrown to the side by the force of the shaking, awkwardly landing on the floor, her phone thrown under the seat.

The director quickly stood up and asked, "What was that tremor just now?"

The old fisherman who had gone to check the cabin shouted in haste, "We’ve hit a reef, the hull has been damaged, water is seeping into the cabin, put on life jackets and get to the lifeboats, quick!"

No sooner had he spoken than the sky abruptly darkened, and the wind at sea suddenly picked up, turning the once calm sea into a churning turmoil.

The audience in the live stream also panicked.

[Damn, the ship hit a reef, is it going to sink?]

[It probably won’t sink, but I’m more worried about the weather at sea than the ship sinking. By the looks of it, could a storm be coming?]

[Marine weather is so unpredictable. Surely, they won’t be that unlucky?]

The waves crashed violently against the boat that sat on the surface of the water, and the cabin made creaking noises, as if it couldn’t bear the weight. Yu Jiao and Luo Yao couldn’t help but let out panicked screams.

The director urgently said, "Turn off the live stream, put on life jackets and get to the lifeboats!"

Shen Yanhe acted swiftly, tossing aside the fishing rod and grabbing a life jacket from a crew member passing them out.

Then she took out three more jackets for Qi Zeyi, Song Shiwei who had run over to her, and Su Qi.

Song Shiwei’s face was ghostly pale, shaking with fear as she clutched at Shen Yanhe’s sleeve, "I... I can’t swim, what should I do..."

"It’s okay, we have lifeboats."

Shen Yanhe had barely finished speaking.

The captain responsible for steering the boat shouted loudly, "Jump ship! Quick, jump into the sea! The ship is going to sink!"

Right after, a wave hit, the ship gave a violent jolt and began to tilt, the guests and crew members screaming in terror.

The sailor steering the lifeboat quickly maneuvered it aside to avoid being hit by the sinking ship.

Some of the guests and crew members also hurriedly jumped into the sea to swim towards the lifeboat. Shen Yanhe managed to safely get Song Shiwei aboard.

Qi Zeyi and Su Qi followed close behind.

All guests on the lifeboat were accounted for, except for Luo Tian and Luo Yao.

The sky grew darker, the wind stronger, and the waves fiercer. Shen Yanhe spat out a mouthful of seawater and asked Yu Jiao, "Where’s Luo Yao?"

Yu Jiao, frightened, shook her head: "I don’t know, I didn’t see her."

Shen Yanhe frowned and turned her gaze to the sea.

The ship was slowly sinking, and many people were desperately swimming towards the lifeboat, while other lifeboats around were sporadically seated with people.

The crew members who could swim also jumped into the water to rescue people, pushing the staff toward the lifeboats.

But due to the shipwreck, the surrounding waves were so fierce that the sailors couldn’t rescue many.

"Shiwei, you stay here, I’ll go help them."

After saying this, Shen Yanhe dived into the sea.

Song Shiwei’s face changed drastically: "He Miao!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll help her," said Qi Zeyi as he and Su Qi stood up and also jumped into the sea.

They could swim as well.

Only Song Shiwei, Yu Jiao, and the sailor driving the lifeboat were left on the lifeboat.

Yu Jiao watched Shen Yanhe’s agile figure swimming towards the crew members nearby and said in a low voice, her expression changing slightly, "Even at a time like this, what’s with the showing off, there are no cameras..."

Song Shiwei turned her head sharply to look at her, her eyes red and teary, her tone fierce, "Say what you just said again?"
