Chapter 7  : Fell Into the Water

The bullets penetrated the large full-length windows, causing a spiderweb-like pattern to appear. Soon after, shots rained in from different directions after a snap was heard. The windows shattered into a thousand pieces and scattered all on the ground!

Everything happened too fast. He had already carried her in his arms and rolled on the ground before Lin Hanxing could even react.

“Are you afraid?” His magnetic voice rang in her ears.

Lin Hanxing raised her head, clearly seeing the dark shadow under his eyes.

“Should I pretend not to be afraid?” Despite that, Lin Hanxing sounded very calm.

Lei Xiao fell on the ground while Lin Hanxing laid on his body. The distance between them was extremely close!

“I thought you should’ve been more afraid of me.”

‘How is he in the mood to pull a joke at such a dire moment?’

The blast outside was very devastating. The entire room was nearly covered in the shots besides the blind spot where both of them hid.

“I would probably be afraid of you if you turned into a ghost!” Lin Hanxing sneered.

She stared at him furiously but she could hear gunshots from time to time.

“There’s a five-second pause every half a minute to reload the magazine,” both of them said almost simultaneously.

One of them sounded cold and the other said in a low voice.

......

“What smell is that?” Before Lin Hanxing could even think any further about them, she smelled a burning scent that she could not quite put her finger on.

“The cruise is on fire,” Lei Xiao said with a faint smile on his face as his hand fell upon her coquettish mole under her eyes.

“Considering the time, we should have approximately one minute before this boat explodes,” he said as if it was as simple as the sunny sky turning cloudy.

Lin Hanxing was stunned for a few seconds before she finally figured out that she had completely been tricked by him!

“Those people are here for you. Why did you drag me along?”

They were obviously determined to take his life, yet he insisted on involving her!

“Maybe...”

His hand, which she broke free from, moved upward once again. This time, his hand fell on the red mole behind her ears.

“It was the fear of loneliness?”

Lin Hanxing was stunned. The burning smell became more intense.

She could not bother overthinking it. The most important thing was for both of them to leave the cruise ship immediately.

Having the count down in their heads, they knew that it was closing in on the minute.

They had five more seconds—just enough time to dash over!

“Can you do this?” Lin Hanxing suddenly looked at Lei Xiao as she was counting down.

“Do you know what’s the most taboo thing to ask a man?”

Time was up!

The bullet rain was silent for a moment but it was only a tiny five-second gap!

Lei Xiao locked her in one arm and both of them soon ran across the deck. In the next moment, Lin Hanxing only felt that she was held in his arms as they quickly jumped off the ship into the water.

“It’s ‘can you do it?’!” the man’s low magnetic voice rang in her ear as they descended.

Lin Hanxing glared at him. With a loud bang, a cloud of thick smoke rose above the cruise.

It seemed like the ship would explode soon!

Splash…

Both of them fell into the water!

The gunshots that had stopped for a while sounded again. They were fired in quick succession toward the water...
