You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 298 A Glimmer Of Hope

Bai Rong felt safe being by his side.

It just came to her to ask, “I’m secured. But, what about you?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Besides, what if the raft overturns? I must have my hands free to readjust it back in time.”

Even so, she was not convinced. “But what if the wind gets too strong? You might not swim fast enough.” She trusted his capabilities, but mother nature was unforgiving at times.

Seeing her this worried, he tried his best to calm her. “There will still be a long rope attaching me to the raft. This way, I won’t drown. Trust me.”

“Ok, did you tie the knot tight enough?”

Hearing her non-stop worrying, he broke into a smile. “It’s a bowline knot. It’ll only get tighter against pressure. Couldn’t be any safer.”

“Oh, and one more thing, is the rope strong enough?”

“Definitely. These are professional ropes used by fishermen. Everything will be fine. Don’t worry.”

After clearing all her doubts, she gave in. “Then, no matter what, don’t let go of my hands. We’ll get through this together.”

Her words had hit the spot; he liked what he just heard.

That night, the rain came later than Bai Rong had expected. Before its arrival, the relentless cold wind assaulted them.

She made sure to grab onto his hand firmly. Meanwhile, he used his free hand to grab onto the pot.

Seeing this had made her anxious. “Forget about the pot! Worry about yourself first.”

“We don’t have much water left. We need to collect some. You won’t want to drink that, do you?” Gu Mingchen gestured towards the sea.

“Who cares? That is nothing compared to your safety.”
