Chapter 1287 - Chapter 1287 Chapter 1287 The Last Lifesaving Straw

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: The Last Lifesaving Straw Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: The Last Lifesaving Straw At this moment, she was like hanging off a cliff.

Wanting to climb up, but unable to, her strength gradually slipping away, she was about to fall…

The pain was truly excruciating, so full of despair–

Jian Yufei bit down hard on her lip, daring not to cry out, for tears would drain her of strength.

She lifted her bloodshot eyes and saw that half of the lifebuoy was hanging over the edge of the cruise ship; a slight movement from the ship and it would fall.

Please don’t fall–

It could be their last lifeline.

Jian Yufei, drenched in sweat, fixed her gaze on the lifebuoy, which seemed to sway in a blur.

It should be said it was the cruise ship swaying, and so the lifebuoy swayed too.

The lifebuoy almost fell several times before stabilizing again.

Jian Yufei watched with her heart in her throat…

“Boom–” Somewhere on the ship exploded, emitting a massive thunderous sound.

Instantly, the cruise ship lurched violently to the right.

Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling’s bodies rolled along, slamming hard against the wall.

It hurt so much, her hands hurt, her body ached, her head throbbed…

Jian Yufei, in agony, closed her eyes, feeling near death.

If they were destined not to survive, then let them die.

At least in death, she and Ruan Tianling could be together.

It was just before his death, she hadn’t told him the truth.

Never expecting this would be their end, had she known, she certainly wouldn’t have kept it from him, nor hurt him like that.

Jian Yufei weakly raised her arm, embracing the man pressing down upon her, and then lost consciousness…

The sound of the waves seemed very close, as if right by her ear.

Ice-cold seawater washed over her face, blocking her breath.

Again, and again…

Had she now fallen into the sea, about to drown?

Jian Yufei opened her eyes groggily, only to see a sky thick with smoke.

She wasn’t rescued, nor washed up on some island shore.

The acrid smell of burning filled the air; she was still on the cruise ship, having only briefly lost consciousness.

Her body and Ruan Tianling’s had slid down into the water, mostly submerged.

Ruan Tianling was still unconscious, yet his arms and legs firmly imprisoned her body, pressing close to her.

Jian Yufei took a moment to adjust to the dizziness, then out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of something floating beside her.

Turning her head, her eyes instantly widened with joy!

The lifebuoy–

Perhaps even God didn’t wish to see them die?

Tears welled up in Jian Yufei’s eyes as she reached out and grabbed the lifebuoy, immediately feeling strength surge within her.

The lifebuoy was large, but it was a tight fit for the bodies of two people.

Jian Yufei propped herself up slightly and with effort dragged the lifebuoy down over her head.

Ruan Tianling was a big man, and it took a lot of effort for Jian Yufei to get the lifebuoy over his shoulders.

The lifebuoy was wedged under her armpits, preventing it from slipping off her.

Clinging to Ruan Tianling’s body, as long as she didn’t sink, he wouldn’t either.

Who knew how much time had passed, but it should be enough to hold out until Mi Sha and the others came to rescue her.

The cabin kept emitting crackling and fracturing sounds, along with the thud of explosions.

The flames grew larger, spreading everywhere; the cruise ship was about to explode…

Jian Yufei held Ruan Tianling tightly, took a deep breath, then forcefully rolled into the sea–

“Splash–” They fell into the water, causing a high spray.

“Cough cough…” Jian Yufei choked violently, the discomfort unbearable.
