Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

The split-open wound was soaked in the seawater; the feeling was simply too sour.

They encountered a storm.

How big must the storm be to bash the boat up like this? Water even seeped in. As a prisoner, no one would have noticed his existence.

The water quickly rose to his neck.

“Is there anyone outside?” Ye Tingyun tried really hard to tip-toe. However, the seawater was merciless and kept flowing in, soon reaching his neck. Ye Tingyun shut his eyes and started struggling aggressively. Although he knew that struggling was useless, drowning to death was definitely not going to be his ending.

Suddenly, he heard a splashing sound. Ye Chu was relatively shorter, and the seawater had already risen above her head. Hence, she kicked the door open and swam over. The dim light in the prison shone against her jade-like face.

“Hey, fated one. You are in such a sorry state.”

It was the first time that Ye Tingyun thought that this violent little Loli looked as beautiful as an angel.

Ye Chu swam over. Outside, the storm was still ensuing. Suddenly, there was a bump, and Ye Chu was thrown towards Ye Tingyun. Both of them crashed together, and their noses collided. Ye Chu felt like her nose bridge was going to break.

Ye Tingyun’s nose was hit so strongly that it felt like breaking. Upon opening his eyes, he saw the beautiful face right in front of him. Amongst the salty stench of the seawater, he could smell the aroma of her skin, clear and mild, that flowed from the tip of his nose to all his internal organs. With his life hung by a thread, his sense of touch was exceptionally vivid. If he tilted his head slightly, he could kiss her rosy lips.

In the flood of seawater that seemed to be able to cover the sky, such rosiness was exceptionally dazzling.

Ye Tingyun dodged backward expressionlessly, avoiding the girl’s fragrance.

“Heroine, help!”

Ye Chu chuckled, her two dimples delicate and soul-stirring.

The boat suddenly shook. Ye Chu collapsed alongside with the seawater, her entire body tilting to one side. She suddenly hugged Ye Tingyun’s neck to prevent herself from falling. In the midst of the shaking and jolting, she held her breath and sank into the seawater.

Ye Tingyun was speechless. “… ”

Ye Chu untied his manacles. Ye Tingyun had been tied up for a few days. Both of his legs were weak, and his body was full of injuries. He could not support himself and sank into the seawater. Ye Chu floated to the surface and breathed deeply.

“Troublesome!” She adjusted herself for a moment before sinking to the bottom of the water again. At this moment, the boat was constantly swaying in the storm. Ye Tingyun was just struggling to reach the water surface when a sudden shake caused a heavy object to crash into him. He did not manage to hold his breath and choked on water. The sense of suffocation due to the loss of oxygen caused his mind to go completely blank, and dark spots appeared in front of his eyes. Ye Chu grabbed onto his collar and pulled him up forcefully.

In Ye Tingyun’s blurred consciousness, he seemed to have touched something soft. However, due to the dark spots in front of his eyes, he could not see clearly. Afterward, he felt like someone was hugging him and lifting him out of the water surface.

Ye Chu pushed him out and went to the second level. All the cabins on the ground floor were filled with water. Ye Tingyun had also fainted.

…

Ye Chu changed into a set of clean clothes. The boat was seriously damaged and needed to be repaired on land after the water had been drained away. Luckily, they were also nearing an island. Bruce knocked onto the door to enter. Ye Chu was wiping her hair. The jet-black hair was let down lazily, making her face seem even smaller. Her face was scarily pale.

“Why did you go through all the effort just to save Ye Tingyun?”

“Worth the money!” said Ye Chu. “Didn’t you want to exchange him for Yang Ping? Are you going to do the exchange with a corpse?”

She yawned. Bruce said, “I thought that you fancy him.”

“…” Ye Chu smiled. “I love myself. I don’t intend to find a new lover.”
