Chapter 278: Chapter 285: Drifting at Sea

Su Mengxin, after all, was no ordinary person and quickly calmed herself down. As she looked up, she suddenly noticed something unusual—the water had become very murky and she couldn’t see anything when she looked up.

Such darkness made Su Mengxin slightly afraid, and she instinctively gripped Li Yifei’s hand tightly.

Li Yifei held Su Mengxin’s hand firmly, then quickly swam forward with her. They soon saw light and swiftly surfaced.

"Damn, my speedboat is leaking oil!"

"Fuck, mine too."

"Quick, shut off the engine, don’t let the oil catch fire."

People on both speedboats were panicking and shouting. By now, Su Mengxin realized what Li Yifei had been busy with. He had sabotaged the fuel tanks of the two speedboats.

Su Mengxin pursed her lips and smiled. "Looks like they’re either going to drift at sea or swim back like us."

Li Yifei let out a hearty laugh. "I reckon they haven’t got the guts to swim back. They’re definitely going to wait for rescue here."

"Li Yifei, you bastard, wait for me; I won’t let you get away with this!"

Now that both speedboats were leaking, Song Ziqiao, no matter how foolish, knew Li Yifei was to blame and furiously cursed at him from afar.

"Mayor Song, take care now!" Li Yifei laughed heartily, swimming ahead with Su Mengxin as if they were two fish.

Their lifebuoys were gone, so the only option was to swim, but Su Mengxin wasn’t worried at all—in fact, she felt even less constrained.

After not swimming far, Su Mengxin grew tired and laughed. "I’m getting a bit tired of swimming, what should we do now?"

In the vast sea, it was very dangerous for them, having no life vests and being unable to swim, but Su Mengxin managed to joke with a charming smile, which impressed Li Yifei. He laughed, "If you don’t mind, then you can climb onto my back."

"Of course I don’t mind." Su Mengxin chuckled, lay directly on Li Yifei’s back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and clamped her legs around his waist so as not to hamper his leg movements.

In bed, such a position would be quite intimate. However, in the water, it was a bit better, but Li Yifei, feeling their bodily contact, couldn’t help but have his heart flutter. If it had been anyone other than Su Mengxin, he might have had improper thoughts.

Even though he was carrying someone, Li Yifei swam even faster. Su Mengxin, lying on his back, could feel the strength of his body; every inch of his muscles seemed to possess endless power. She believed that no matter the difficulty, Li Yifei could definitely handle it. The sense of security she felt was stronger than having a group of bodyguards, transforming the vast sea from a frightening place into an ideal tourist Holy Land.

After a while, when Su Mengxin had rested sufficiently, she swam on her own until she was tired and then lay on Li Yifei’s back again.

Li Yifei was swimming in the right direction, but despite the distance being quickly covered by speedboat, they swam for five or six hours. Even Li Yifei, tough as iron, was beginning to feel the strain. The main problem was that the seafood they had eaten at noon was meant as snacks and not a real lunch. Usually, it would have been fine, but with all the exertion, their bodies were using up food much faster.

By the time they finally reached the shore, it was completely dark, likely past ten o’clock. Climbing onto the shore’s rocky outcrop, both of them were exhausted.

After resting for over ten minutes, Li Yifei sat up, turned to look at Su Mengxin in the moonlight, and couldn’t help chuckling.

Su Mengxin was still lying on the rocks without getting up. Though her body was extremely fatigued, her spirit was quite good. She asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"

"Heh, I bet no one would guess you’re the number one beauty of Huaxia now."

Su Mengxin laughed, knowing that the water near the shore wouldn’t be clear and was full of seaweed and other stuff. Furthermore, when they had come ashore, they had stepped into mud, so she was covered in seaweed and mud. Plucking a piece of seaweed off her face, she said, "Better that they don’t recognize me."

Li Yifei laughed out loud. "But how are we going to get back looking like this?"

"Indeed, we’re in such a mess, without even shoes; if we go out like this, we’re definitely going to be mistaken for sea monsters."

After joking for a bit, Li Yifei said, "I see some houses not too far from here. Let’s go make a phone call. I’ll ask President Xu to pick us up."

Su Mengxin nodded in agreement, but then quickly added, "First, let’s find a place where I can wash up; otherwise, I’d lose too much face."

Li Yifei knew women like to look their best and understood it would be hard for Su Mengxin to meet people looking like this. He scanned the surroundings and said, "Let’s go over there; there’s a rock sticking out where you can wash up, and then we can get directly onto the road from the rock without getting dirty again."

Su Mengxin happily agreed, and they made their way under that rock in the water. The water there was quite deep, too deep to reach the bottom. Li Yifei suggested, "You can sit on the rock and wash up there."

"How could that work? Can I get clean like that? I need to go down and wash properly."

"Well, then, I’ll go with you." It was completely dark now, and even with the moonlight, visibility was poor. Li Yifei really didn’t dare let Su Mengxin go down alone. If something were to happen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Su Mengxin’s face turned red, but in the darkness, Li Yifei couldn’t see it. Hand in hand, they jumped into the sea. Li Yifei steadied himself on a rock and said, "Go ahead and wash."

Su Mengxin agreed with a nod and started to clean off the grime on her body. As she tidied up, she felt her clothes were filthy inside, which made her hesitate and say, "I need to take off my clothes to wash them."

"What?" Li Yifei shouted in surprise.

Su Mengxin chided, "Why are you yelling so loud? My clothes are a mess with all sorts of junk, I need to clean them properly. It’s fine if they are wet, but too dirty is not okay."

"I mean... I am a man, aren’t you afraid that I might..."

Su Mengxin let out a light laugh and said, "I would be afraid of other men, but not you."

"Am I not man enough?"

Su Mengxin laughed even more joyfully, replying, "Because you are too much of a gentleman, how could you do something as forceful as that to a girl? I am going to undress now."

Li Yifei quickly turned his head away, saying, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Su Mengxin chuckled and true to her word, stripped off her outer garments and trousers in the water. Of course, she kept her bra and panties on. Even though she liked Li Yifei very much, the idea of seducing him in such an overt manner was not something she could do. What she wanted was for Li Yifei to truly like her for who she was, not for her looks or her body.

Li Yifei was still holding onto one of Su Mengxin’s hands. He could feel her every move as she handed him her clothes to place on the rock. How could he not understand what was happening?

"Look at you, why so awkward? Just think of it as if I’m wearing a swimsuit, you didn’t avoid me then, did you?" Seeing Li Yifei’s discomfort, Su Mengxin couldn’t help but tease him without any reservation.

"That’s different, wearing a swimsuit is one thing, but you are bathing now."

"How is it different? Isn’t it almost the same clothes?"

"Stop teasing me, if you keep this up, I think I am about to turn into a beast."

Su Mengxin giggled and said, "Okay, I’ll stop teasing you now."

Quickly cleaning off the filth on her body, Su Mengxin then took her clothes and washed them briefly in the sea. She said to Li Yifei, "Help me up, I’ll dress on the shore."

Li Yifei quickly suggested, "Just dress in the water."

Su Mengxin gave Li Yifei a look and said, "You might be able to dress in the water, but can I?"

Li Yifei thought for a moment, realized the difficulty, and agreed, "Okay, I’ll help you up."

Reaching out to catch Su Mengxin’s arm, Li Yifei had already lifted her out of the water. The moonlight reflected off the water droplets on her body, giving her a blurry radiance that momentarily mesmerized Li Yifei.

With her body out of the water, Su Mengxin attempted to climb onto the rock with Li Yifei’s help. Suddenly feeling the supporting force from below halting, she turned back to see Li Yifei’s gaze, which sent a flurry of anxious joy through her heart. Pretending not to notice, she lingered there, her chest just above the water surface.

Li Yifei eventually snapped out of his daze, coughed abruptly, and said, "I’ll help you up."

Feigning ignorance of Li Yifei’s embarrassment, Su Mengxin smiled and replied, "Alright." With Li Yifei’s aid, her body rose again. Her waist had lifted from the water, and with both hands gripping the jagged edges of the rock, she tried to pull herself up.

But at that moment, Li Yifei could no longer hold her arm. He should have easily been able to assist Su Mengxin by giving her legs a slight push from behind, but he found himself paralysed, unable to reach out his hands. Su Mengxin seemed to radiate a sacred glow, and he felt that touching her would be a desecration.

Struggling to ascend, Su Mengxin managed to raise her knees above water. Yet, the rock was too slippery, and she realized it was unlikely she’d make it up by herself. Turning her head, she said to Li Yifei, "Could you please give my foot a little lift?"

Li Yifei nodded without hesitation, extending his overlapped hands out of the water, and Su Mengxin’s right leg went up, her small, porcelain-like foot resting in Li Yifei’s palm.

The soft, delicate sensation almost made Li Yifei lose his wits again. He quickly gathered his focus and pushed, helping Su Mengxin up as she also climbed with the effort. She was fully above the water now.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Su Mengxin turned to look at him, and from Li Yifei’s intense gaze, she realized something. Embarrassed, her limbs gave way, and she let out a cry of alarm as she slipped from the rock and plummeted back into the water.
