Chapter 40: The Fountain
W's instincts told him that they hadn't been noticed by the starstripe bearer, otherwise they would have heard no footsteps, but would have been attacked directly.
At this moment of crisis, W looked at the fountain in front of him, and he seemed to think of something, and then signaled to Xiaotian beside him, quietly got into the fountain, and the whole person sank.
It was a huge fountain, ten meters in diameter, and in the center of the fountain was a statue of Venus, next to Venus was Cupid, if the fountain was operating normally, the water column would just surround the statue, but the fountain had already lost power, and the statue seemed to show a touch of loneliness in the night.
Then Xiao Tian looked at W and seemed to understand something after sinking to the bottom of the water, the star stripe holder walked over from any angle, and they would find them, they had nowhere to hide, so they could only hide in the fountain, and then Xiao Tian also sank silently in the fountain.
The fountain is not deep, the depth of the water is only about one meter, but it is very cold, the two of them felt the cold chill piercing into the bone marrow after sinking in for more than ten seconds, but they can't act rashly, they can't even spit out bubbles, any slight disturbance may expose them.
The two of them lay motionless at the bottom of the water, hoping only that the passing bearer of the starstripe would walk through the place quickly, and that they would not be discovered.
However, as time passed, the footsteps of the starstripe bearer were getting closer and closer, and W was sure that the starstripe bearer was only less than ten meters away from them at the moment, but it had been three minutes since they had sunk to the bottom, and the biting cold water and the constant consumption of oxygen were becoming their problem.
With the rapid depletion of oxygen, W can continue to hold on in the water, but as an ordinary person, Xiao Tian quickly reached the limit, Xiao Tian only felt that the oxygen in his lungs was about to run out, and his heartbeat was very fast, which is a rapid heartbeat that only occurs when there is a lack of oxygen.
As the clock ticked by, the footsteps grew closer, and W could accurately sense that the starstripe bearer was next to the fountain, very close, but the footsteps continued, as if walking through the fountain.
However, Xiaotian's strange appearance aroused W's vigilance, and from Xiaotian's somewhat painful expression, W found that Xiaotian was not good at holding his breath and seemed to be unable to stand up.
Ten seconds have passed, fifteen seconds have passed, and the little innocent feeling can't hold on, but he can only choose to suffocate here quietly like this, if he makes any moves, he will definitely expose the two of them together, and then W will be in danger, as time passes, Xiao Tian only feels that his consciousness is rapidly decaying, and he closes his eyes and only feels that he is dying.
A pair of cold slender hands gently hugged him, and it was this feeling that made Xiao Tian open his eyes, and in an instant, two soft lips were tightly attached to Xiao Tian's lips, and a steady stream of air continued to pour in.
With the continuous influx of air, Xiao Tian's whole person was much more awake, he saw W was holding himself in his arms and delivering precious air to him, he knew that air was equally important to her, Xiao Tian wanted to break free, but W held him firmly, he only felt that his symptoms of hypoxia were gradually alleviating.
Twenty-five seconds, forty-five seconds, one minute, the time continued to pass, W could feel it, the footsteps of the starstripe bearer were getting farther and farther away, they were moving away towards them, and the sound was getting softer and softer, one minute and thirty seconds, two minutes, two and a half minutes, as time continued to advance, W could no longer feel any footsteps, W was sure, they were safe.
A moment later, the two of them came to the surface hugging each other tightly from the water, perhaps to breathe, but their lips were still pressed together, feeling each other's heartbeats, and they sank in the fountain for five minutes and thirty seconds.
"Haven't kissed enough?" W asked quietly.
"No," Xiaotian replied in a low voice.
"Neither do I." W replied lightly.
The two kissed more intensely, and after the two had changed their breath, they gently sank off the surface of the water again, and this time it was not to avoid the star stripe holder, but to enjoy their romance and small mood in the gap of time.
