C199 (1/2)
”So what do we do now?” she asked with a gasp.
His expression was not as relaxed as before. He pointed behind her and said, ”Enter the cabin.”
Right, after entering the cabin, everything will be fine.
She immediately took a breath and ran inside.
Just as the two of them entered the cave, they heard the sound of a fierce wind and rain above them.
It landed so quickly.
Fortunately, he was fast.
She secretly rejoiced in her heart. When she turned around, she saw that he had a cell phone in his hand, and his head was lowered as he was talking on the phone.
The cabin was not big, it could even be said to be very small, just enough to accommodate two people. When the dim light from the bulkhead shone on the two of them, she heard the rapid rain outside and suddenly felt at peace.
It seemed as if he had come in a little too slowly, causing his hair to become somewhat moist, and some droplets of water to flow down his hair.
She saw it and said to him, ”I'll wipe it off for you.” He took out a packet of tissues from his bag and prepared to wipe his hair.
However, his expression was not very good. After whispering a few words into the phone, he put it down and said to her, ”This is a bit troublesome.”
”What?” Her hand stopped in midair, and she had a bad feeling about this.
”I don't know where this place is. It might be the weather.” His low voice, mixed with the rain, made her stick close enough to hear him, ”There's no signal on the phone.”
”It can't be?” She looked at him in disbelief. ”Isn't this the city district? ”Even if it's on the river, it shouldn't …”
He waved his phone at her. ”Look.”
When she saw that there was no signal on his phone, she could not help but panic. ”Let me see my own phone.”
After saying that, he turned around and took out his phone. When he looked at it, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. There was no signal on his phone, and it was the kind of phone that didn't have any.
”Then what should we do now?” she asked, looking at him blankly.
He shrugged. ”It's all right. Just wait until the rain stops.”
”But …” She was about to say what she would do if the rain did not stop for a whole night when the boat suddenly shuddered and then shook vigorously, as if there was a big hand shaking the boat in the water.
Even though she was already sitting down, she couldn't help but throw herself into his embrace.
He held her close. ”Don't be afraid.”
She bit down hard on her lower lip, feeling as if the boat was spinning on the surface of the river. There was no time for her to calm down at all.
He held her tight, but she could tell from her heavy breathing that he was holding her back.
At this rate, wouldn't the boat overturn?
She panicked and looked up at him, calling his name, ”Si Lianye, can't we stop this boat?”
He shook his head and said, ”This is a sailing ship. We are afraid of the wind. Our tone is not good.”
She was dizzy from the motion of the ship, vaguely aware that something was wrong, but unable to think for a long time.
”Then what should we do now?”
”Let's wait, it won't rain for long.”
”Is that so?” She thought hard in his arms and couldn't help but say: ”If only I could put that sail down.”
Even if she hadn't studied physics, she knew how a sailboat worked, and she was the most sensitive to wind.
”Right.” He suddenly raised his head. ”I forgot about that.” He lowered his head and kissed her lightly.
”What?” She looked at him with her eyes wide open, and saw that even in this terrible state his eyes were shining, full of confidence.
”What are you trying to say?” She held back her heartbeat and asked him again.
He didn't say anything. He gently released her and said, ”I'll go find the switch. You should sit by yourself for a while and hold onto the handrail carefully so that you won't be thrown out.”
With that, he stood up and walked a few steps away from the boat.
What switch?
Her heart was filled with doubts. Suddenly, another gust of wind blew over. The boat suddenly moved thirty degrees and caused her heart to jump. She quickly grabbed the handrail tightly, not daring to let go for even a second.
When the storm passed, she looked up at him and saw that he was already in another small room.
Although the cabin was small, it was still divided into two parts. The room they were in was quite large and could be used for simple furniture. However, the small door had been closed, and it was unknown what it was used for.
Later she learned that it was the control panel of the boat.
She didn't know what Si Lianye was doing inside either. She only felt that not long later, she suddenly discovered that the body of the boat had become much quieter.
She was relieved to know that he had done it.
Seeing him walk out again, she smiled at him and said, ”You scared me to death. What did you just do? ”How did you get so much better?”
He smiled. ”Thank you for reminding me, I brought down the sail …” Before she could finish her sentence, the boat suddenly shook. He had just reached the cabin door. His feet slipped for some reason. As she screamed, he slipped out of the cabin.
”Si Lianye!”
She ignored the small boat that began to turn again, forgetting even for a moment her fear of falling into the water.
She quickly jumped up and ran to the door: ”Si Lianye!”
At the same time, she tried her best to see his situation, but the wind and rain outside was truly too heavy. She had only revealed half of her body, yet the raindrops had already smashed her eyes shut.
”I'm here.” His voice, still steady, came from her right, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
