The servants beside the ice hole breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the prepared bamboo poles again, ready to knock the person who really deserved to die into the bottom of the lake.

I don’t know if their eyesight is really bad, but while they were also floating up and down in the lake, only the unlucky Jun Yan got beaten, which made Jun Yan even more annoyed for a moment.

For a moment, he suspected that these servants were doing it on purpose, otherwise why would they avoid Shen Jingwen and hit him every time.

Did he give too little money?

Or did he really just raise a bunch of losers?

Jun Yan is not a real landlubber, so the moment Shen Jingwen fell into the water, the two of them began to compete secretly.

"Chen Jingwen, don't you want to know why Ning Wan insisted on inviting you to skate on the lake today?"

Jun Yan's hands and feet were restrained once again. He was forced to swallow a lot of lake water. His teeth began to tremble uncontrollably, and even his hands and feet began to feel numb. However, he still gritted his teeth and said these words.

His voice was extremely soft, and he didn't want anyone other than Shen Jingwen to hear it.

When it comes to misunderstandings, he only needs to plant a seed, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Jun Yan made up his mind that he would not let these two people have an easy time, but before he could react, Shen Jingwen boldly pushed his head into the water again.

"Gurgle—Gurgle—"

Shen Jingwen was too cunning. When he took action, he even sank a little, giving others the illusion that he was saving people but Jun Yan was unwilling to cooperate.

After surfacing again, Jun Yan remained unchanged and fiercely kicked Shen Jingwen’s calf with his foot:

"Oh, Shen Jingwen, you are really ridiculous. You don't really think that Ning Wan is really interested in a poor scholar like you and wants to develop feelings with you, right?"

"Why do you think there's such a coincidence that there's an ice hole in the middle of this lake?"

"Why do you think Ning Wan insisted on teaching you how to ice skate today?"

"Do you think this is really just a coincidence?"

"Don't be silly, she wishes you were dead. If you don't believe me, look, your fiancée is watching you on the shore, hugging her ex-lover. It's like she has no say in your life or death..."

Before he could finish his words, Jun Yan's eyes suddenly widened, water entered his eyes, nasal cavity, and ears, and bubbles began to come out of his mouth again.

"Your Highness, please stop moving. If anything unexpected happens, I will not be held responsible."

Shen Jingwen called Jun Yan a commoner, but he didn't show any respect for him at all, and even his eyes began to turn cold.

The people on the shore continued to delay time, waving bamboo poles to prevent Shen Jingwen from reaching the shore, completely unaware that Jun Yan was on the verge of death and was breathing in new oxygen in big gulps.

Ning Wan, who was pushed away, also reacted at this time. Looking at her empty hands, and then at Shen Jingwen who had slipped to the edge of the ice hole due to a shove and was then dragged down by Jun Yan, she felt a numbness in her heart.

Just at this moment, Shen Jingwen turned his head and looked at the stunned Ning Wan, then glanced at Zhou Wenhuai beside her, his eyes still fixed.

Ning Wan almost subconsciously took a half step back.

Shen Jingwen took these subtle changes into his eyes, but he tightened his grip on the back of Jun Yan's neck a little more.

Is it a calculation?

He no longer cares.

If she was sincere, he would be willing to continue pretending.

If she was scheming, he expected her to keep scheming.

Under the icy lake, Jun Yan's struggle kept him from being distracted for too long.

He had no choice but to collect his thoughts and compete with Jun Yan again. He sank to the bottom of the lake and unilaterally pressed the person in his hand into the bone-chilling water. After the person stopped struggling, he once again tried to get to the shore.

Just as the servant on the shore was about to attack again, Ji Yue, unable to bear it any longer, threw a few pieces of gravel at those who were about to attack, giving Shen Jingwen the opportunity to get ashore.

As a secret guard, you cannot expose yourself in front of others unless your life or death is at stake.

Therefore, they could only do some small things to help Mr. Shen, hoping that Mr. Shen and Miss Ning would not blame them after knowing it.

Shen Jingwen naturally noticed the strangeness of those servants and began to approach the shore where there was no longer any threat. But at this moment, Jun Yan, who had been drowned and exhausted, started to fight back again.

After being dragged into the water again, Shen Jingwen really wanted to kill him. He pulled Jun Yan and began to sink, but Jun Yan had already lost his mind due to anger.

In an instant, both of them had the same idea, which was to drown each other.

But this is an ice lake, and an ice lake with only one ice hole. It is very easy to lose your direction while soaking in the ice lake water, and eventually die from lack of oxygen.

This was originally the way Jun Yan had chosen for Shen Jingwen to die, but now, after Jun Yan's torment, he was afraid that he could not escape.

[Warning: The male protagonist of this dimension is facing a life-threatening situation. Please rescue him as soon as possible!]

On the shore, Zhou Wenhuai breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Shen Jingwen fall smoothly into the lake and struggle but was unable to reach the shore. He thought that he had finally finished the task that Jun Yan had entrusted to him, and he did not notice that Jun Yan had not come ashore either.

Looking at Ning Wan beside him, Zhou Wenhuai didn't have time to say anything before a slap landed on his face without any warning.

Zhou Wenhuai was completely stunned and subconsciously covered his face with his hands.

Watching Ning Wan walk towards the edge of the ice hole, Zhou Wenhuai, without caring about his anger, reached out and pulled her back: "Ning Wan, can you calm down?"

"Chen Jingwen is not bad at swimming, why are you so nervous? It's his blessing to be able to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Ning Wan stared at the lake, where no one was visible. How could she remain calm? She shook off Zhou Wenhuai's hand, sneered, and asked, "This blessing is for you. Do you want it?"

As he said this, he was about to move forward again.

"Wake up! There are two grown men in the lake. You're just a girl, so don't..."

Before Zhou Wenhuai could finish his words, he received a slap mark on his left cheek that was extremely symmetrical with his right cheek.

Ning Wan withdrew her hand and felt her fingertips go numb.

How could someone be so shameless?

It would be a shame not to use it to make shoe soles.

Looking at Zhou Wenhuai who was still in a daze, he went straight to the ice hole without saying a word.

By the time Zhou Wenhuai reacted, he heard another startling sound of someone falling into the water.

The lake water was bone-chillingly cold, but thinking of Shen Jingwen who had been frozen and lost his way in the lake, Ning Wan did not have time to hesitate. She decisively sank into the lake and began to look for him according to Xiao Qi's instructions.
