Chapter 743: Chapter 752: Night Outing (6)

Perhaps it was because she was the only "heavy object" on the boat, but as soon as she stood up, the small boat started to sway.

This was also the deepest part of Houhu Lake, and with just a slight turn of her head, she could feel as if the mist-covered surface of the water was a primordially dangerous jungle. It was as if a single careless move would cause her to tumble into the deepest vortex!

Especially since her current position involuntarily reminded her of the car accident from ten years ago. The shaking of the car and the boat, along with the endless darkness of the night, made her feel an involuntary sense of fear!

"Don’t be afraid, give me your hand and come over slowly." At that moment, a pleasant male voice reached her ears.

It was like a mountain, like a spring, like the most brilliant fireworks in the night sky, which stablized her drifting and uneasy heart quite a bit.

When Jian Anning turned her head, she saw Yu Zexiao’s eyes, firm, bright, and gentle, his fingers pale and slender, his fingertips slightly moist. With an outstretched hand, he seemed to be leading her away from the sea of suffering to the shores of happiness.

She was no longer alone; she had her beloved man. Though this man was childish and capricious, he loved her wholeheartedly. He was the man she could rely on in times of danger.

So without hesitation, she mustered her courage and extended her slightly trembling hand to him.

"Hold on tight!" With a pull from Yu Zexiao, it was as if the strength from his body traveled to his fingertips and transferred into her. She too rose by leveraging that strength, and the swaying beneath her feet no longer disturbed her thoughts. She suddenly left the ground, and by the time she realized what was happening, she had already landed in Yu Zexiao’s embrace.

"You, you usually seem so fearless, so why are you so scared today?" Yu Zexiao held his precious cargo, experiencing for the first time the feeling of a big man protecting a little woman. This woman was usually so tough, even her sweet nothings were stiff, without any sign of the typical delicate and clingy demeanor.

Although that side of her, the more serious she was, the more it made one want to disturb her tranquility. But the problem was, always being like this could also make one feel a bit tired after a while...

Yet today, her sudden, vulnerable affection, akin to that of a small animal, seemed to have opened a new world for Yu Zexiao, piquing his interest, and amusement!

Especially since he had been slowly realizing that he was not as invincible as he had thought. Whether in the face of family or in front of Situ Xuan, he felt inadequate. Not only was he unable to help his parents, but compared to Situ Xuan, he wasn’t as considerate either.

However, Jian Anning’s "clingy" behavior at the moment greatly pleased him! It was like being handed a pillow during a snooze, making him feel that occasionally embracing his masculinity and having her fall into his broad embrace was a very fulfilling thing to do!

"Be good, Anning, don’t be scared, not scared," he whispered as he gently stroked her back, as if to encourage her, but also to comfort her. He had never coaxed anyone like this before; although it seemed clumsy, it was quite interesting.

"Who’s scared?" After a long while, Jian Anning lifted her head from his chest, and her mood had already calmed down a lot.
