Chapter 252: Chapter 252

Pei Shu’er could only wait until Tang Zan was a suitable distance away to come out, otherwise, coming out too early would get her drowned in water.

But Tang Zan kept swimming further downstream, forcing Pei Shu’er to grit her teeth, put on a nose clip, take the oxygen tank, and then allow herself to flow downstream.

Tang Zan was searching when a white figure floated past him, startling him for a moment. He quickly ran towards the downstream of the river.

Pei Shu’er was also a bit anxious, as she was almost at her limit. This water was truly no place for anyone to linger in.

It was so cold, she wasn’t urgently in need of oxygen, but being swept by the current and not being able to control her body was very uncomfortable.

The so-called Gulan River was actually a wide and deep river, with the widest part being five kilometers. The place they were at was approximately one kilometer wide.

And where she was, was the deepest part.

Soon, Pei Shu’er’s body was embraced by a pair of big hands. She felt the person behind her holding her tightly, and at the same time, she quickly stored the oxygen tank into her space.

His hand, underwater, turned her face. Seeing her bright peach blossom eyes open, his lips tugged lightly, and the worry in his heart finally eased.

He held Pei Shu’er deeper in his arms, then lifted her chin with one hand.

Pei Shu’er blinked, signaling Tang Zan to bring her up.

Instead, Tang Zan leaned closer to her, seeing she didn’t open her mouth, then breathed a cool breath into her mouth.

Pei Shu’er widened her eyes, wait, wait, she didn’t need it. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel⁂fire.net

Right now, Tang Zan probably didn’t have as much oxygen as she did; she had just taken a big gulp!

She turned her head wanting to avoid, but Tang Zan thought she couldn’t take it anymore, holding her while swimming upstream and giving her air.

Alright, thank you, that’s enough, no more needed!

Tang Zan evidently didn’t catch this from her eyes, seeing Pei Shu’er lowered her head again, a hint of panic in his eyes, he began to give her air again.

Pei Shu’er wanted to cry without tears, she really had plenty of oxygen...

And as for Tang Zan, she felt he probably didn’t have much air left.

Brother, you can’t fall, whether we make it to the shore depends on you!

So when Tang Zan was giving her air, he caught on that a cool breath was given into his mouth.

Pei Shu’er’s eyes blinked nimbly, without any sign of losing consciousness.

Tang Zan couldn’t help but smile, Pei Shu’er was obviously doing quite well.

In his heart, he felt a bit warm. He knew very well the importance of air in the water, so at this moment Pei Shu’er giving air to him, did it mean he held a place in her heart?

Pei Shu’er passed some oxygen over, thinking Tang Zan should have enough now.

Sensing Pei Shu’er’s intentions to move back, Tang Zan quickly raised a hand to hold her nape.

Seeing Pei Shu’er frozen, Tang Zan transferred another small breath of air over.

Only then did Pei Shu’er’s doubts disappear; she realized, that giving air wasn’t done this way, even if it was taking air it wouldn’t be .

Turns out she overthought.

She thought, who would fall for their enemy like that after all.

So close to being self-deceiving.

Soon they reached the water’s surface, Pei Shu’er clinging to Tang Zan, took several breaths, finally feeling a bit better.

Tang Zan said, "Hold on to me, let’s get to the shore quickly, otherwise the water is too cold, be careful not to catch a chill."

Pei Shu’er obediently turned into an octopus, Tang Zan lowered his head to look at her, finding Pei Shu’er also looking at him.

He couldn’t help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Would you climb onto my back?"

Pei Shu’er thought about it, too. If she held on to Tang Zan in the front, not only would it be hard for him to swim, she would occasionally swallow some water and feel suffocated.

She went on with the flow, Tang Zan felt Pei Shu’er was like a monkey, nimble in movements, her fingers touching him, soft and tender.

His heart seemed to be stirred gently by her hands and the softness of her body.

Pei Shu’er hugged tightly onto Tang Zan’s chest, adapting an octopus-style embrace.

Her head leaned against Tang Zan’s back, able to hear his heart beating violently.

Young and strong, his heart beat fast due to the exercise.

Tang Zan noticed Pei Shu’er holding on tightly, so he sped up.

It was sweet yet torturous for him at this moment, with Pei Shu’er clinging to him, her girlish curves graceful, body soft, her breath teasing his heart one after the other, and he had to exert great self-control not to embarrass himself.

On Tang Zan’s back, Pei Shu’er could feel the explosive power of his muscles, the feel was incredibly good, and very elastic.

The so-called good bodies of modern models were nothing compared with Tang Zan’s.

This man looked slender but was a true fit and muscular underneath his clothes.

Thinking about this, Pei Shu’er suddenly asked softly, "Tang Zan, what do you think we look like right now?"

Tang Zan’s mouth curved into a sweet smile, looking like the closest lovers.

But he wanted to hear it from Pei Shu’er’s lips, raising his brows slightly, his voice even turned a bit gentle.

Pei Shu’er chuckled lightly, her feet kicking slightly, she was obviously very happy.

How did he think Pei Shu’er would say what he wanted to hear?

Not wanting to speak, Tang Zan continued swimming toward the shore. When getting ashore, Pei Shu’er burst into laughter several more times.

"Now looks like a turtle coming ashore!"

He really wanted to throw her off.

Once ashore, Tang Zan used his right hand to pull Pei Shu’er’s back, Pei Shu’er was surprised, then Tang Zan swept her to the front.

Just at that moment, a soldier took off his coat and handed it to Tang Zan.

Even though the man’s smell wasn’t unpleasant, Tang Zan still didn’t like Pei Shu’er getting someone else’s scent on her.

But her wet body revealed her graceful figure entirely, prompting him to tighten his arms, bringing Pei Shu’er closer.

Pei Shu’er naturally took the coat handed by the soldier and covered herself, finally feeling some warmth after being cold for so long.

She couldn’t help but find a comfortable position in Tang Zan’s embrace, sighing softly and drifting to sleep.

Tang Zan was both amused and exasperated by Pei Shu’er.

"Now you’re not afraid I’d bite you to death?"

About to fall asleep, Pei Shu’er suddenly opened her eyes wide, tensed up.

Then she relaxed again, "If you were really going to bite me to death, you wouldn’t have given me air just now."

Even when Tang Zan didn’t have much air himself.

It seems he accepted her proposal, temporarily deciding to put the hatred aside.

Therefore, Pei Shu’er could sleep peacefully in Tang Zan’s arms.

Just not knowing why, that usually warm body now felt so cold.
