There are still five minutes until the hero escapes from marriage.

Gu Xianting’s back hit the water surface hard, startling water splashes floating in the air. He looked at Wen Zhao in astonishment, his mind blank.

He didn’t even know what had just happened.

It wasn’t until his body sank, and the cold seawater entered his mouth and nose, that he began to struggle violently. His hands clenched tightly to the edge of the yacht, his body being dragged forward by the yacht, uncomfortable, but he dared not let go.

“Wen Zhao, I was just concerned about you. Why did you push me down?” His voice was loud, with a sense of false bravado and fear of the unknown future.

“You wanted to know what was wrong with me, didn’t you?” She squatted by the side of the yacht, supporting herself with one hand and slowly sitting down.

She looked down at him, her voice full of sarcasm, “I feel that you can’t truly understand just by words alone, after all, there is no such thing as shared feelings in this world.”

“So, the best way to make you understand what’s wrong with me is to let you experience what I’ve experienced.” She said, raising her foot and ruthlessly stomping on his hand, which was tightly grasping the edge of the yacht.

His face changed drastically. “Wen Zhao!”

She didn’t speak again, just kicked his hand with her foot.

“Ah!” He screamed miserably, his hand forced to let go of the yacht’s edge, and he was thrown out like discarded garbage.

The yacht sped forward, and he struggled to maintain his body balance, only able to watch helplessly as the yacht drifted farther and farther away, until it disappeared at the edge of his vision.

He gritted his teeth tightly. The struggle just now had already consumed most of his strength. He was already losing too much blood and needed to rest. Plus, he hadn’t slept all night yesterday. Both physically and mentally, he had reached the brink of collapse.

He could feel that his body had reached its limit, uncontrollably sinking downwards.

Looking around, there was only the boundless sea, desolate and hopeless.

The sea water here was very cold. Wherever he could reach, there was no driftwood. He tried to calm his violently fluctuating breathing, but it was futile. His body was still gradually being engulfed by the seawater.

His eyelids grew heavier and heavier. He stared fixedly at the direction the yacht was leaving, but it didn’t turn back.

Was he really going to die?

To die here in this sea, unknown to anyone?

He didn’t understand why he had to die just because he fell in love with someone. Was it because Wen Zhao found out about Su Mengyao coming to the wedding on the day of the wedding?

He didn’t understand why she had to insist. Wasn’t it true that feelings couldn’t be forced? She was excellent in every way. Why did she have to clash with someone like him?

His consciousness began to blur, his body sinking, his chaotic and blank mind filled with fragmented images like a revolving lantern.

Many childhood memories were mostly obsolete, like they had been repeatedly erased with an eraser, thin and fragile, leaving only fragments of shadows that couldn’t even form clear and coherent memory lines.

He saw Wen Zhao’s smiling face flash by.

He saw himself and her in the empty corner of the classroom, close to each other, breathing each other’s breath, his ears burning red.

He saw himself standing outside the window, pulling her up from inside the window, jumping down, running madly in the corridor, peach blossoms blooming on both sides of the corridor, with the spring scenery.

Many, many, many of these fragmented images that didn’t even exist in his memory.

What were these?

He instinctively felt that they were important, but he didn’t have the strength to think deeply anymore. The seawater invaded his limbs and organs.

He might, in the next moment, die.

At this moment, in the hospital room of Li City Hospital, Su Mengyao, who was lying on the bed asleep, was suddenly awakened by a sharp and piercing alarm.

The system was almost scared to gibberish!

【Alert! Alert! Male lead’s life value 40… 30… 15… 5!!!】

【Host, wake up quickly, the male lead is dying!】

Her face changed drastically. “What did you say? How is he dying again?”

【I don’t know, the distance is too far, I can’t see what the male lead is experiencing, but I’ve figured out the male lead’s location!】

【Host, we must find him quickly! The male lead cannot die!】

“Why are you so useless!” She couldn’t help but angrily scold the system again. “Other than screaming and painting rosy pictures for me, you can’t do anything!”

When she was initially bound by this system, she was actually secretly happy. She was indeed different from others. This magical thing must be very useful.

But never did she expect that this system was like an incomplete development, unable to do anything except blabbering!

【This system is very useful!】 The system was also getting annoyed!

Once, it was very powerful. As long as it wanted, it could use everything in this world! It could easily make its host go anywhere and see whatever it wanted to see.

But now… well, let’s not talk about it!

【Now is not the time for that, Host! We must hurry to save the male lead! The male lead’s life value… huh, stopped?】

Gu Xianting didn’t die.

During his hazy and confused consciousness, he felt himself being pulled up by someone.

He followed that force and was pulled up from the dark and cold seawater.

He was dragged onto the deck, his abdomen pressed, and the seawater accumulated in his stomach was forced out. He felt his chest being pressed down repeatedly, as if his stomach was being burned by fire with every breath, causing him great pain.

Finally, after the last mouthful of water was vomited out, he began to cough violently. He breathed heavily, realizing for the first time how precious air was.

His blurred vision finally began to clear, somewhat unexpectedly yet somehow expectedly, the person he saw was Wen Zhao.

She was now wearing a different dress, sitting on the sofa on the deck. The yacht, originally meant for sea fishing, had been replaced by a comfortable cruise ship. She looked at him indifferently, as if looking at a drowned dog.

Whether it was because of just experiencing life and death, he seemed somewhat dazed. His gaze flickered with confusion, and after locking eyes with her for a moment, he quickly looked away.

She didn’t know that his thoughts were very confused at the moment. Every time he met her gaze, fragmented images would appear in his mind. Although they were not coherent, he couldn’t understand what those images represented, but when he met her gaze, he still felt guilty.

A kind of inexplicable guilt that came from nowhere and didn’t know where to go.

“Now, do you know the answer?” She said lightly. “Do you still want to ask?”

His thoughts were slow at this moment, but even so, he understood her meaning.

He now knew why she would turn pale and tremble with fear, because she had fallen into the sea before, almost died in the sea, and that ingrained fear would instinctively make her afraid.

He searched through his memories but couldn’t remember such an event. According to her previous feelings towards him, even if she found a stray cat, she would excitedly tell him about it for half a day. Falling into the sea was such a big deal, and she wouldn’t have kept it from him.

He wanted to ask her when this happened, but he dared not ask. The current Wen Zhao was no longer the one he knew.

Of course, he didn’t have the energy to ask these questions now because he quickly lost consciousness again due to exhaustion.

She stood up and squatted in front of him for a long time.

After throwing him into the sea, Wen Zhao intended to kill him directly.

In her past life, she, immersed in seawater and on the brink of death, apart from feeling unwilling and not understanding how she ended up in such a situation, she also thought, if she could start over, she would definitely kick him away and walk her own path of sunshine.

Her inherent rebelliousness began to act up again. Why should she make way for others’ lives? Why should she give way to others? Even if it rotted and stank in her hands, it belonged to her, Wen Zhao. No one could touch it, no one could take it!

To give in meant to retreat. She, in this life, would not give in to anyone!

So, she directly took him away from the wedding scene, knocked him unconscious, and took him to get the marriage certificate. Originally, getting the marriage certificate should be done by two sober people, but who made the wedding of the Gu family and the Wen family a well-known event in Li City?

“Let’s go back.” She looked at Gu Xianting lying on the deck, losing interest in going fishing.

The cruise ship turned around and headed towards the direction of the island.

When Dr. Xia saw Gu Xianting again, he fell silent.

It hadn’t been three hours since he changed the medicine for this person in the morning, and yet he was having problems again?

“Oh, we went fishing at sea, and he accidentally fell into the sea and swallowed some water. He has received emergency treatment.” Wen Zhao explained to him very nicely, “We’re bothering you again.”

“It’s my duty.” He waved his hand and had someone carry Gu Xianting inside.

She didn’t care whether Gu Xianting lived or died, nor was she afraid that he would wake up and talk nonsense to others.

The butler came to remind her that the chef had prepared a delicious lunch, and she was indeed a bit hungry at this moment.

During lunch, she received a video call from her mother, Jiang Xinyan.

She seemed a little worried. “Zhaozhao, I heard some news today, and I think I should tell you.”
