Chapter 274 - Feeling Kinda Happy
Beauty and the Bodyguard
He wouldnât technically be forcing himself on her, since he was saving her, but Lin Yi would much rather Yushu have her eyes closed while she called sweetly to him. âShield Bro⦠Kiss meâ¦â¦â
Just imagining that made Lin Yiâs blood boil⦠He was thus unwilling to take advantage of Yushu. It was the same as imagining looking at Mengyao and Yushuâs bedroom once and for all- he wouldnât really do it.
Lin Yi positioned Yushu on his legs, her face aimed at the ground as he pressed some of her acupuncture points. Even that put dirty thoughts in Lin Yiâs mind as he felt the softness of Yushuâs body under his fingersâ¦
âBlerghhâ¦â¦â All the water exited Yushuâs body, and she started coughing right after. Lin Yi patted her on the back the whole time until her breathing went back to normal.
âShield Bro? Iâm not dead..?â Yushu raised her head, fatigued as she looked at Lin Yi weirdly. âOr maybe we are dead, and this is heaven?â
âYouâre not dead, and this isnât heaven.â Lin Yi found Yushuâs reaction pretty funny. It felt nice to have Yushu on his legs, but he didnât want to take advantage of her by feeling her up- she wasnât his girlfriend, after all. Now if it were Tang Yin on his legs... he might just help himselfâ¦
âOh?? Iâm not dead?! So that means you saved me??â Yushu got up from Lin Yiâs legs excitedly- she was about to do a dance when her body couldnât support her weight. She almost fell.
âAh-!â Yushu cried out, holding on to Lin Yi before she hit the ground. âShield Bro, are we really not dead??â
âNope. Itâs not that easy to die with me here.â Lin Yi rolled his eyes- wasnât Yushu overestimating the danger a little? How was falling into the sea supposed to kill you? Lin Yi might as well just kill himself if it were that easy to die.
âHeh heh, youâre the best, Shield Bro!â Yushu felt that it sure was nice to be alive. âShield Bro, youâ¦â¦ kissed me earlier, right?â
âThat wasnât a kiss, I was trying to cover your mouth up! You wouldâve drowned if I hadnât.â Lin Yi explained himself. Connecting lips with another person wasnât just for kissing, there were other uses as well.
âOh. What about when you saved me, then? Did you do mouth-to-mouth??â Yushuâs face reddened. âI heard that youâd still need to press on the personâs chest, tooâ¦.. Did you take advantage of me?â
âDidnât you see the position you were in when you woke up?â Lin Yi smiled bitterly. âI donât need techniques like that to save people.â
âOhâ¦â¦â Yushu didnât think that Lin Yi would be lying, but she couldnât help but feel a bit disappointed⦠Why had the guy let go of a chance to take advantage of her like that? Did Shield Bro not like her??
âMy phoneâs not working- see if yours is still good. We need to call Uncle Fu and tell them weâre okay.â Lin Yi said as he put his phone back into his pocket- it wouldnât turn on.
Most electronics would be done for if they got submerged in seawater for that long.
âMine? I donât have it with me, I gave it to Yao Yao before jumpingâ¦..â Yushu said. âBut who cares about that? Weâre fine, right, we didnât die! Iâm actually kinda hungry, Shield Bro, anything to eat here?â
Lin Yi didnât know what to say- but he understood Mengyaoâs pain now⦠This soulmate really was too muchâ¦â¦
He didnât say anything, but he knew that both Mengyao and Yushu hadnât eaten anything yet- so of course Yushu would be hungry after all that. Sheâd even vomited on an empty stomach, too.
Yushu looked around the shore to realize in disappointment that there was no one there. It was a desolate place.
It was a dangerous area because of the sharks that frequented here, and the theme park never developed it into an attraction. Yushuâs eyes froze on the shark corpse on the shore. âHuh?? Shield Bro, whatâs that!! Dead fish??â
âShark.â Lin Yi said faintly.
âShark?!!â Yushu gulped, her head tilting back on instinct. She was about to go take a closer look before, too. âShield Bro, there are sharks here??â
âYeah, that one tried to eat you.â Lin Yi smiled. âBut I killed it.â
âYou killed the shark, Shield Bro?! Really?? Youâre so cool!!â Yushu didnât think Lin Yi even killed a shark as he dragged her to shore- the guy was really strong!!
âThereâs nothing to eat here, but there is a dead shark over there, so⦠I can roast it if you want.â Lin Yi had spotted a jungle some distance away from the shore- he should be able to start a fire with some sticks.
âShark meat? Yeah, that sounds nice! I never tried shark before!â Yushu was starting to get excited at the thought. âWonder what sharks taste like? Are they good?â
âTo be honest, not really.â Lin Yi had had shark before- it really wasnât anything tasty. People wouldnât throw sharks back into the sea after cutting their fins off otherwise.
âI see, I see. Donât worry, Iâm not picky- I can eat anything.â Yushu felt that it was nice enough to even have something to eat at this point- she was starving!
Lin Yi nodded and went to get some wood. He turned around after a couple steps. âDonât go anywhere, and donât go into the sea.â
There were still sharks in there- Lin Yi didnât want to walk home and see a pile of Yushu bones.
âGot it! Iâll wait for you!â Yushu hugged her legs as she sat down on the sand. She waved at Lin Yi happily. âDonât worry, Shield Bro! Iâll be a good girl!â
Yushu realized at that moment- it was like she was playing house, walking her husband to the door and waving goodbye as he went to work⦠And then sheâd wait for him to come home.
It was a kind of happiness she never knew- Yushu was feeling quite sweet and shy at the same time as she looked at Lin Yiâs figure disappearing off into the distance. He didnât look very majestic, and actually looked kind of skinny, but⦠Yushu felt oddly comfortable with Lin Yi- she felt safe, secure.
Itâd be pretty interesting if she stayed here with Shield Bro, wouldnât it? Yushu wondered before remembering the impracticality of it.
Yao Yao seemed to like Shield Bro tooâ¦â¦ Yushu sighed softly.
Lin Yi walked back with some branches in his hands as Yushu continued dwelling in her thoughts.
