Eventually, when the wind and waves shattered the glass in the cabin, the water rushed in so quickly that I didn't even have time to take a deep breath before I was submerged.

I was not a good swimmer, and I had never swam in this environment, and after the water was over my head, I panicked, and even forgot to hold my breath, and the icy, salty and bitter sea water choked into my windpipe, and I coughed like a curled shrimp in the water, and my lungs were choked so painful that I almost had spasms all over my body.

At this moment, Gu Yixiao swam to my side, hugged my legs and lifted me up.

I floated to the surface of the water, took a big breath, and the water came back to me. This time, I was mentally prepared, and after taking a long breath, I used all my strength to hold my breath.

I still want to cough, but it's going to be fatal at this point.

Gu Yixiao saw that I had finally calmed down, and took my hand and swam towards the broken window. Now the water has filled the cabin, and the whole ship is under water.

If it weren't for that breath of air, I would have drowned by now.

I was pushed out by Gu Yixiao first.

When I looked up under the water, it hurt so much that the pressure water was all in the water. However, now I have to keep my eyes open so I know how far I am from the water. The wind and waves on the sea were so high that from below, they were just huge bubbles, and the water was still dangling like satin.

It's so beautiful, but it's also so deadly.

Gu Yi smiled and swam upward, and when he turned around, he found that I was lagging behind. He immediately spun back, paddling hard with one hand and pulling me in with the other.

My lungs felt like they were being crushed by a stone, and I was holding my breath until it hurt.

Just when I was about to reach my limit, Gu Yixiao pushed me out of the sea.

I had just taken a breath when a big wave came and slapped me back under the water.

Fortunately, this is the deep sea, the water is very clear, and I can see clearly what the situation is now.

I could see the ship slowly sinking downward.

I don't know where Gu Yixiao got the lifebuoy, he swam back to me with the lifebuoy and put it on my head. The wind and waves were too strong to have a chance to speak.

He turned and swam away again, and stabbed a thrust into the water.

I really admire Gu Yixiao's swimming level.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, the wind and waves were lighter, Gu Yixiao went to the boat to untie a lifebuoy and put it on himself, and returned.

He wiped a handful of water from his face and said to me, "It'll be fine as soon as the morning dawns, hold on a little longer." ”

After the sun came out, the wind and waves really subsided, and it didn't take long for it to be completely calm.

It's just that as the sun rises higher and higher, I feel like I'm going to be roasted to death by the sun even if I don't drown.

The temperature was rising very fast, the ultraviolet rays were strong, and my cheeks were already hurting.

I have a slight UV allergy, and when the sun shines so badly, my skin gets red spots and blisters. By noon, I couldn't see my skin.

Gu Yixiao suddenly asked, "Do you have an allergic face?"

I said to him weakly, "It's okay, just carry it." ”

He's not much better than me, and he doesn't have much strength now. However, after hearing that I was allergic, he was still very anxious to look around and look for something to shade the sun.

"Don't look for it, there's nothing around here. I said.

Just now, in order to avoid the wind and waves blowing the two of us apart, he had already taken off his clothes as a rope to tie the two lifebuoys together, and all he could take off was his pants.

"I'm sorry, but if I had returned two hours earlier, I wouldn't have encountered this storm. Gu Yi smiled at the boundless sea and said to me.

At this time, the wind and waves are calm, and our world is the sun except for the sea.

In fact, I already knew very well that there was no point in lying on this lifebuoy. It's all deep sea, and it's impossible for a pleasure boat to come over, and the chance of encountering a fishing boat is not too great. Moreover, there is a high probability that there will be sharks in this kind of sea.

Now, the situation that Gu Yixiao and I are facing is hilarious. There are at least three ways to die. Either they are dried out by the sun and dehydrated to death. Or it was swallowed by a shark that suddenly swam over. Or float here and be salted to death by the sea.

"It's okay, I wasn't forced by you pointing a gun at my skull. Whether it's the conditions or the negotiations, I came voluntarily. If you really die, then you can only complain. I looked at Gu Yi who was lying in front of me, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's not bad to die, but the only thing I can't worry about is the bean bag." He couldn't find his mother, and he didn't know how sad it would be. ”

Gu Yixiao shook my hand and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you come." ”

"I said it earlier, don't say such things. I smiled.

We soaked in the water for a long time, the sea water was cold and salty, and after soaking for a long time, the body temperature was lowered. Luckily, it was early in the morning when we fell into the water, and it was dawn quickly, because of the sun, I still haven't frozen to death.

It's just that the sunburn on my face is too uncomfortable, too painful and itchy, and I can't touch it with my hands.

I looked up at the bright sun and felt that I was just a pinch of chili noodles between me and the grilled fish. It takes physical strength to speak at this time, and in order to live, we shouldn't talk.

However, we all know that the chances of surviving this time are very small, so we don't mind the question of whether to save physical strength or not.

"It doesn't matter if I die or not, I'm really sorry for you. He said again.

I looked at him, lay on my stomach for a while, and said, "Your death is also very so-called, you are worth more than me." ”

He smiled and didn't speak.

After a great while, when I was almost asleep, he suddenly said, "Don't worry, I will send you ashore no matter what." ”

That's a bit of a nonsense, now that there is a sea on all sides, how can I be sent ashore? With his two hands? It's impossible, unless he's a superman, and his hands can turn into propellers and fly.

What I didn't expect was that Gu Yixiao looked at the sun for a long time, estimated the time, judged which aspect was south, and then said to me: "We go all the way to the south when we go to sea, and now we should swim all the way to the north, so that we will get closer and closer to the coast." ”

After saying that, he really turned around, pushed the lifebuoy and swam towards the north.

"There's no need to waste your energy, it won't work. I said to him.

He didn't answer, stubbornly paddling with double water. Seeing him use all his strength, I was so anxious that I reached out and grabbed one of his hands and said, "What do you want to do?

He slammed the water with his remaining hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Seeing his desperate reaction, I felt a little distressed, and whispered, "Everyone will die, and before today, I never thought that I would die at sea." ”

"You don't deserve to die here. He turned his head and said.

I didn't see his face, but I could hear a choked sob.

Gu Yi smiled and cried, crying suppressedly.

"There's nothing that shouldn't be done, it's probably fate. I said.

He turned his head for a long time, and when he finally looked back, there was nothing unusual except for some redness and swelling of his eyes. However, I could tell that he was really upset.

Next, no matter what I said, he mechanically swam in the direction of the north.

The sun moves, and every once in a while he has to re-correct where the north is with a strange gesture. Later, I didn't know if I was desperate, or I was moved by Gu Yixiao's spirit of not giving up, and I cooperated with him and swam towards the imaginary shore like a fool.

Now, I don't have any hope of surviving, and the only thing I'm glad about is that I haven't encountered a shark yet.

However, I quickly used up all my strength for this kind of physical exercise at sea, and by three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I did not even have the strength to hold my arms in the circle.

The person hung on the circle, and after a while, it slid down, and a few times I even fell directly into the sea, and it took me a mouthful of water to stimulate a little bit of my body's potential to climb up. However, I knew that this would not be done for long, and soon I would slide into the sea when I ran out of strength.

When choking doesn't bring out my potential, it's time for me to say goodbye to the world.

It was only in a moment that fear really enveloped me.

Suddenly, I heard Doubao's voice calling for my mother, and I knew that these were my own hallucinations, but I couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from, and there was nothing there.

Gu Yixiao didn't have the strength, he suddenly thought of something, pushed me out of the water onto the lifebuoy, and then tied me tightly with a strip of cloth.

I was already in a semi-comatose state, and the lack of water and exhaustion had left me a little delirious.

"Tao Ran, no matter what, you must live. Gu Yi smiled and kissed my cheek with a chapped lip.

"Gu Yixiao, what are you going to do?" I suddenly sobered up.

"Send you home. He smiled weakly.

Before I could figure out what was going on, Gu Yixiao disappeared from front of me in an instant.

"Gu Yixiao, Gu Yixiao!" I shouted with all my strength, but I couldn't hear any echo.

It dawned on me that he had no strength and had slipped into the sea. However, I was already tied to two lifebuoys by him, and I couldn't move at all.

A man just disappeared in front of me!

Realizing this, I struggled like crazy, with only one thought in my mind, to get him out of the sea. I struggled so hard that I accidentally flipped over.

When the water completely submerged me, I realized that I was not far from death either.

My mouth and nose were full of water, all my efforts were in vain, nothing could be changed, and I didn't even have the strength to turn over again.

The sea was pitch black, and I couldn't see Gu Yixiao's shadow.

The last breath in my lungs was finally exhausted, and the water poured into my five features, causing my whole body to spasm. I knew I was going to die this time.

Eventually, I lost consciousness and fell into endless darkness.

In the last moment of sobriety, what I saw in front of me was the figure of Gu Yixiao running forward in the sun with a bean bag.

They walked against the light, and they were all covered with dazzling light.

It turns out that death is like this.

Then everything was quiet, and everything was far away.

I don't know how long I've been struggling in the dark, and waking up again feels like it's hard to breathe. I knew I wasn't dead because it hurt in many parts of my body, especially my face, which hurt to the bone marrow like it was scraped with a knife.

I opened my eyes with all my might, and for the first time I saw a blurry man's features.

Immediately after, I heard a surprised voice say, "You're awake!"

This voice made me suddenly relax, because it was Duan Jingchen's voice. I lay on the bed relaxed, looked at the figure in front of me who was still unclear, and asked half-crying and half-laughing: "I'm still alive, what about Gu Yixiao?"

Duan Jingchen didn't speak directly, but sat down first, held my hand and said, "He didn't find him, and you were also rescued by a passing fishing boat." ”

I lost my strength and no longer had the courage to ask anything else.

I lay down for a long time, and my eyes finally returned to normal, I could see Duan Jingchen's face clearly, and I could also see the environment I was in, knowing that this was in the hospital, and it was a hospital with a good environment.

Duan Jingchen was sitting not far from me, and saw that my eyes finally fell on him. He came over again and half-squatted down in front of the hospital bed: "Tao Ran, you don't want this, the bean bag still needs a mother." ”

"Where's the bean bun?" I asked softly.

On the way over, He Xiao brought him over. Duan Jingchen said, "There are also Zhu Tong and Liu Mingming. ”

"How many days have it been?" I wasn't interested in who was coming, thinking about the time, and calculating how likely it was that Gu Yixiao would survive. I could be rescued, and so could he.

"It's been two days. Duan Jingchen said.

I calculated in my heart that in two days, two days, as long as I didn't encounter a shark, I would still be able to survive. What about the fishing boat that was rescued at that time? Did they really not see Gu Yixiao? I should be in the same sea area as him.

Thinking of this, I sat up suddenly.

Because of the excessive force, the whole body hurt uncontrollably, this pain came too concentrated and too sudden, I couldn't help but snort.

Duan Jingchen stretched out his hand and pressed me back to the bed, stared into my eyes and said, "The possibility of Gu Yixiao surviving is very small, he took you there by himself and provoked these things." You're still worried about him?"

He didn't know what was going on, and he had a whisper about Gu Yixiao, which I could understand.

And I don't mind what he says now, because I don't have the strength to be angry with him.

"I want to ask the fishing boat if they have seen Gu Yixiao. Whether it's life or death, there's always an answer, right?" I said.

At this time, I am calm.

My calmness made Duan Jingchen relax his vigilance, he let go of the hand that pressed me and said, "You take good care of your injuries, if the injuries on your face are not treated in time, they will be disfigured." ”

I smiled, I'm not afraid of disfigurement or anything.

This life was picked up by others, what can you do without a face.

"I want to see the man who saved me. I looked at him, still talking.

In the end, no matter what he does, I only have this one sentence. Duan Jingchen reluctantly put the things in his hand on the table and said, "Okay, I'll let someone bring him to see you." ”

"Thank you. I said to him.

After saying these words for a long time, my body was sweaty.

And because there is a large area of sunburn on the skin, sweating is very affecting the whole healing, and the taste of this sweat pickled is rustling pain, which is very uncomfortable.

He Xiao came faster than the owner of the fishing boat with the bean bag, and after he saw Duan Jingchen, he nodded and said hello. As soon as Doubao entered the ward and saw me, he brushed up tears.

He cried for a while before he ran to me and hugged my arm.

He Xiao walked over and touched his head and said, "It's distressing to see my mother's appearance?"

Doubao nodded, and He Xiao said again: "If you really feel sorry for your mother, don't cry in front of her, if you provoke her to cry again, the wound on her face will hurt, and it will get better slowly." ”

When Doubao heard this, he immediately stopped crying.

"Good boy, Uncle He has something serious to talk to your mother, let's go to the side and wait for a while. He Xiao said.

Doubao knew that he would not allow him to be present when I was talking about business, so he hugged my arm and called my mother twice before reluctantly leaving the ward.

Duan Jingchen beckoned to him and took him out.

I was reborn after the catastrophe, looking at the bean bag, my eyes were full of greed.

He Xiao saw that the door of the ward was closed, so he sat down next to me and said, "Actually, this matter should be talked about after you are discharged from the hospital, but the doctor said that it takes a long time for you to recover from allergic sunburn of this degree, and with your character, you will never honestly wait until you are discharged from the hospital to ask me the truth of the matter." ”

When I heard the word truth, I chuckled and asked, "What truth?"

He took out the PAD, opened it and brought it to me, and said, "The next morning after you and Gu Yixiao left Beijing." The United States and China announced at the same time that the biggest winner of consortium A was Gu Tianbao. We don't know, and no one knows. However, Gu Yixiao lost, and he lost completely. The only remaining assets in his hands are KB and a room in Beijing, which he bought with money when he was a lawyer and has nothing to do with the company. ”

He Xiao's words are simple enough, clear enough, and clear enough.

However, I didn't understand it.

"No way, you're joking. I looked at He Xiao, trying to find traces of jokes from his face, "Gu Tianbao is a psychopath, he can't have the right to inherit." ”

"How many people pretend to be crazy and stupid when they are in trouble, I remember that there was an emperor named who pretended to be crazy in order to hide people's eyes and ears when he was in trouble, and he ate and played every day. His little pretending is not a big one. He Xiao said calmly and unsympathetically.

"No way. "I'm still shaking my head.

He glanced at me, his face full of pity: "If you don't believe it, you can't help it, now you can verify it yourself, Consortium A has changed the day." ”

I kept looking at him, and I didn't see the slightest hint of joke on his face.

Is it true?!

He Xiao didn't say anything to me again, but took out another courier envelope and put it in front of me and said, "This was sent to you by Gu Yixiao before leaving for Sanya, and it was also sent to the company the next morning." As for what's inside, I don't know. However, I think that if he sends you something at such a time, it will surely clear your doubts. ”

I may be a ruthless person, but at such a time, I can actually do my heart trembling and my hands tremble, and open the courier smoothly.

There were only a few thin pages in it, a photo of me and Gu Yixiao.

I picked up the photo and took a look, it was a selfie taken by Gu Yixiao with one hand around me and the other hand holding the camera. Both of them had big heads and had a great laugh, and I laughed out of nasolabial folds and crow's feet.

However, at that time, I was flamboyant and presumptuous in front of him.

The back of the photo is blank, and nothing is written. I glanced at the picture a few times, put it down, and then took a deep breath and picked up the pages.

It was a handwritten letter, written by Gu Yixiao.

His handwriting is good, I don't know if he practiced it since he was a child. And I am familiar with his handwriting, because I have seen him sign quite a few documents.

He wrote very big.

"Tao Ran, when you read this letter, I have left here forever. As of now, I don't owe the world any more. I don't know what I've been through with you, but I know that I must be madly in love with you. Otherwise, my mother, who has always been sensible, would not have used artificial interference to make me forget you completely. She is also concerned about chaos, how can one person be completely eliminated from another person's life. There are memories, feelings, and habits. About the habit of love. ”

……

"During this time, I made a lot of choices, about the company, about responsibility, about money. When making a choice, I involuntarily chose KB, and it was precisely because of this choice that I lost a lot of money. Since I was sixteen years old, I have struggled until now, and the goal of life that I have just achieved has been shattered. I'm gone, I don't remember anything. And you, who have left a habit in my life, will never be able to forgive me. ”

……

"My last wish is to spend a few days alone with you, simulating the post-marriage time between me and you. I know that all feelings end up flat, but the reason why we humans can live this kind of dullness is because of love. Even in the ordinary, you can also feel the peace of mind of the other half of your beloved side. ”

……

"When I send you back to Beijing by sea, I can leave without worry. Don't live such a failed life. Regarding memory, I went to a lot of doctors and they said that the damage was irreversible. I barely had a chance to regain my memory. What am I, a failed walking corpse? You hate me, or you don't. Anyway, I can't hate you. Finally, if you fall in love with someone again, you must be happy forever. ”

……

When I saw this, I burst into tears.

I never knew that Gu Yixiao took me so seriously in his heart. However, this time I saw it when we experienced a big storm at sea together. He's the one who sees me as a life.

But now it's too late.

I saw with tears in my eyes that at the end, there was a powerful signature on the back of the paper underneath - Gu Yixiao.

When I was very young, I told myself that tears were the most useless. So later, no matter what happened to me, I rarely shed tears.

But now, I couldn't help it, from silent tears to crying, and I didn't know what kind of transformation I had experienced.
