Chapter 317: It's Over, This Is Going to Be a Barbie Q

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

Jiang Muye had just finished speaking when he felt his breathing turn difficult. He immediately put on the oxygen mask.

When Leng Ruoli saw Jiang Muye had recovered to his original state, she breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

But then she spotted the enormous tiger shark charging at Jiang Muye from behind, and her eyes went wide. "Watch out—shark!"

Jiang Muye didn't hear Leng Ruoli's voice, but from her gestures and the churning around him, it was definitely dangerous.

But when Jiang Muye turned around, he found a super-giant shark coming right at him.

He'd encountered the like before, back when he was acting, but he'd never seen a tiger shark this spooked and threatening.

After seeing the tiger shark hurtling over, Jiang Muye was still shaken.

I'm done for. This is the end!

Could this really be where the proposal ends? He couldn't let Leng Ruoli become a widow!

The System's mechanical voice sounded: 【Protective Shield automatically activated, protect our Host!】

Splash—

At the critical moment, a green protective shield formed around Jiang Muye's body.

This shield directly rebounded the tiger shark.

After the shark took the jolt, it was startled and veered away.

When Jiang Muye saw the tiger shark leave, he let out a breath of relief. Good thing the System helped at the critical moment—I still had one shield protection left.

He looked out through the glass.

He could see Leng Ruoli's pale little face after the fright.

Besides being touched, she was worried about him.

Jiang Muye swam over and gently stroked Leng Ruoli's little face.

Damn it—it's through the glass, so I can't touch the real thing.

Otherwise it'd definitely be great to touch.

Leng Ruoli, though, looked like she was enjoying it. She gazed at him, cute and innocent, and raised her index finger—clearly signaling Jiang Muye to swim up.

Jiang Muye naturally didn't want to make Leng Ruoli worry any more.

Now that the proposal had succeeded, he naturally wanted to kiss her, hug her, and lift her up high.

So Jiang Muye started swimming upward, but at the critical moment he felt his legs cramp and convulse.

At the critical moment, he had no idea what shocked him—but they actually went numb!

His whole body went weak, and he sank downward!

Jiang Muye's eyes went wide.

He wanted to fight his way upward, but the powerful gravity dragged him down.

Especially since Jiang Muye's mind felt like it had been stimulated—with a buzz, his head went blank, and he couldn't move.

Then he felt a suffocating sensation.

It tortured him unbearably.

This suffocating feeling was like experiencing it firsthand, violently lashing his body and mind.

His eyes expanded fiercely.

"Urgh…"

In an instant, Jiang Muye saw multiple fragmented images blast apart in his head with a roar.

"Ah, no, no, please let him go—"

A desolate sobbing cry rang out, deafening in his ears.

Jiang Muye wanted to know which direction the crying came from, but he felt a sliver of painful helplessness spreading out.

Somewhere, in the dark of fate, there seemed to be a similar scene to this current predicament.

The water rushed urgently, drowning his mouth and nose.

He couldn't breathe properly and was violently choked by several mouthfuls of seawater.

He wanted to struggle his way to the shore, but he saw those cold, snarling faces on the shore.

Clang—

It was as if something enormous had smashed down hard.

Then he felt a disgusting stench of blood sweep over him.

Like a nightmare, it strangled his reason.

His consciousness was muddled, and his body dropped heavily downward like a jellyfish.

"No—"

At the critical moment, a dreamlike female voice sounded.

Jiang Muye shuddered.

His originally blurry will suddenly became clear.

He saw the fair little face looking at him worriedly through the glass.

She was holding back tears, watching over him with concern. Her slender body pressed against the glass, and sensing some danger, she pounded her fist against the glass window.

The System's mechanical voice sounded: 【Protection automatically generated, safely escorting the Host to shore.】

Jiang Muye felt a force dragging him from behind.

The water current pressed against him upward like a whirlwind—there was no need for Jiang Muye to swim at all. Gravity itself escorted him to the shore.

Jiang Muye immediately climbed ashore.

He lay dripping wet on the ground, coughing violently, choking out all the water he had swallowed.

But the scene that had just played out was truly too shocking, deeply stimulating Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye couldn't break free from that gloom at all.

What the hell was that?

Why was my head so chaotic just now, with such baffling memories appearing?

The most important thing is—when I try to recall, I can't remember a single bit.

And how did I almost drown like that, as if possessed?

Jiang Muye's face was now very pale, and his heart was somewhat flustered.

However, while he was trying to calm down, he spotted a figure running over urgently.

"Muye!" a woman's excited voice rang out, and then Jiang Muye felt someone throw herself into his arms.

Her urgent breathing fell against his ear, and Jiang Muye could feel the damp tear stains on her cheeks, which made his heart clench.

When he beheld that stunning face, tearful and utterly pitiful, he felt all his earlier panic vanish, replaced by calm.

Jiang Muye gently stroked Leng Ruoli's face and coaxed softly, "What are you crying for?"

"I was afraid something would happen to you, wuwuwu, I was really so scared…" For that instant, Leng Ruoli's head was a mess.

Her head hurt so much.

Some strange images forced their way out.

It seemed like a similar feeling was flowing wildly through her body.

But she just couldn't remember.

She was afraid, she was terrified.

She only wanted to grab onto the hope before her, to save him.

But she was powerless.

The pain numbed Leng Ruoli's heart, and her body was still trembling even now, so much that Jiang Muye could feel her unease.

Jiang Muye had originally just wanted to create a nice proposal venue for Leng Ruoli. After all, he'd rehearsed before without any accidents, but he had never imagined there would be a small problem today.

Jiang Muye took a deep breath and smiled at Leng Ruoli. He cupped her delicate little face and scolded with a laugh, "What are you afraid of? I told you I grew up in A City—my swimming's really good~ How could anything happen! Just now I was deliberately scaring you, wanting you to be startled first and then happy."

"Really?" Leng Ruoli was still a little doubtful.

Jiang Muye pinched Leng Ruoli's cheek and said dotingly, "Of course. If something had really happened, someone would have pulled me up long ago—would I have gotten up by myself? Aren't I right here alive and well in front of you, completely fine?"

After Jiang Muye said this, he felt Leng Ruoli hug his shoulders with great need and say firmly, "Don't scare me anymore in the future, I was really worried."

There was even a slight tremble in her voice as she spoke.

It completely struck Jiang Muye's heart, and he felt some regret too. This proposal method had indeed been a bit risky, and it had frightened Leng Ruoli.

But at least he was safe and sound, and no tragedy had occurred.
