Chapter 208 Performing CPR on Yan Yu
After making some jokes, the tomb raiders walked away, not wanting to disturb Shen Jin and Yan Yu.
Before leaving, someone patted Yan Yu on the shoulder: "Hurry up, what are you standing there for? Go and coax her!"
Upon hearing his words, Yan Yu was slightly taken aback and turned to look at the tomb raider, only to see the tomb raider winking at him.
"...Would it even work?" Yan Yu asked blankly after a moment. He felt that apologizing to Shen Jin was often useless; the other party simply didn't want to pay attention to him.
"How could it be useless? Hurry up and go over there, admit your mistake honestly, and be sincere. Ah Jin isn't the kind of person who's unreasonable." The tomb raider immediately said in a very certain tone.
He even patted his chest, looking confident and self-assured.
Although his attitude was very certain, Yan Yu still couldn't quite believe it.
"Does admitting your mistake really help?" Yan Yu asked hesitantly.
If admitting one's mistakes could earn Shen Jin's forgiveness... that would be wonderful.
"Hey, stop dawdling. Do you still want to make up with Ah Jin? You're the one who made him angry, that's why he's ignoring you, right?"
Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Although he didn't know why Shen Jin was angry, he knew that he had upset Shen Jin because Shen Jin had been having a lot of fun before he arrived.
Shen Jin gets angry whenever she sees him...
Thinking of this, Yan Yu felt even more distressed.
"Then hurry up and go coax them, it's better than doing nothing," the tomb raider said to Yan Yu.
After saying that, the man immediately left and caught up with the other tomb raiders to continue talking and chatting.
Yan Yu stood there for a while, thinking about it. He felt that what the tomb raider said made sense. Even if he went to admit his mistake, he would not be forgiven by Shen Jin. It was still better than doing nothing.
So Yan Yu turned around and glanced at Shen Jin cautiously.
Shen Jin seemed to notice Yan Yu's gaze and turned to look at him. The two made eye contact unintentionally.
Soon, Shen Jin withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu took a deep breath, cheered himself up, and mustered his courage before walking towards the ashes.
“Shen Jin…” Yan Yu came to Shen Jin’s side and opened his mouth to speak.
Shen Jin showed no intention of paying him any attention.
Yan Yu had already anticipated this outcome, so he wasn't surprised and continued to apologize: "I'm sorry."
Hearing Yan Yu's apology, Shen Jin suddenly became even less willing to talk to him and turned to leave.
Yan Yu quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Jin's arm: "Wait a minute!"
With his arm grabbed by Yan Yu, Shen Jin frowned slightly and looked up at Yan Yu.
"What are you doing?" Shen Jin asked coldly.
He felt he couldn't be too nice to Yan Yu, otherwise Yan Yu would think he still had hope.
To be honest, Shen Jin still felt very unhappy with Yan Yu's attitude last night.
The past should be left in the past. Clinging to the past will only keep you trapped in it, which will do no good for either him or Yan Yu.
It would be better to let go, each taking a step back, giving the other freedom and each other dignity.
Why not just let those unbearable memories drift away with the wind?
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, can you please not be angry?" Yan Yu was startled by Shen Jin's cold tone, but he still forced himself to apologize to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin really didn't know how to answer Yan Yu.
"Let go, I'm not angry." Finally, Shen Jin shook his arm, saying dismissively.
"If you're not angry, why are you ignoring me?" Yan Yu didn't believe it.
"I'm ignoring you, that's all. What excuse do you have? And you don't need to come and apologize to me for everything, making it seem like I'm bullying you." Shen Jin said impatiently to Yan Yu.
He had been bothering Yan Yu for a while, and he couldn't do anything about it. Now he was feeling frustrated, and Yan Yu was just asking for trouble.
"I..." Yan Yu began, wanting to continue explaining.
"Get out of the way." Shen Jin interrupted Yan Yu directly.
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously let go of his hand.
As soon as he let go, Shen Jin turned around and left, ignoring Yan Yu.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin, wanting to step forward but not daring to.
In the end, Yan Yu could only watch Shen Jin from the sidelines.
At noon, everyone ate together, and Yan Yu solicitously brought food to Chen Jin, saying, "I got it for you."
Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, and finally accepted the food Yan Yu offered him, but he didn't say a word to Yan Yu.
Although Shen Jin still didn't speak to him, Yan Yu was already very happy.
The tomb raiders looked at the two of them and smiled knowingly.
Yan Yu was unaware that many eyes were watching him. He just kept doing things for Shen Jin, giving him water if he thought he might be thirsty, giving him fruit if he was worried that eating sweets would be too cloying, and even trying to wipe the crumbs from the corners of Shen Jin's mouth.
Chen Jin finally grew a little impatient.
"Alright, leave me alone. Can't I just have a quiet meal?" Shen Jin said, looking at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu's movements immediately stopped.
Then, Shen Jin got up and left.
The tomb raiders were speechless, rubbing their foreheads in exasperation when they saw that Yan Yu had angered Shen Jin again.
After finishing lunch, Shen Jin started sunbathing. He thought that since he had finally scolded Yan Yu at noon, Yan Yu would not bother him anymore.
However, not long after they sat down to sunbathe, Yan Yu brought over a huge parasol.
Shen Jin stared at Yan Yu speechlessly. Yan Yu, without changing his expression, solemnly opened the umbrella and shielded Shen Jin's head.
The light was instantly blocked, and the ashes were covered in shadow.
"What are you doing?" Shen Jin couldn't help but ask.
"I'll shield you from the sun, otherwise you'll get sunburned if the sun is too strong," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin while securing the large parasol.
"..." Shen Jin said helplessly, "I just want to sunbathe. You've blocked the sun. What am I supposed to sunbathe on?"
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu froze.
A moment later, Yan Yu looked up at Chen Jin and asked cautiously, "Weren't you enjoying the breeze?"
"..." Shen Jin was speechless for a moment.
After a moment, Chen Jin replied, "I'm sunbathing."
Hearing Shen Jin's answer, Yan Yu was momentarily unsure whether he should continue installing the umbrella.
“Well… if you keep sunbathing, you’ll still get sunburned.” After a while, Yan Yu said cautiously.
"Then you should at least let me sunbathe for a while first, right?" Shen Jin was speechless.
Yan Yu responded and quickly put the umbrella away again.
Afterwards, Shen Jin spent the entire afternoon sunbathing, and Yan Yu stayed by his side the whole time, occasionally saying a few words to Shen Jin, although Shen Jin never answered him.
For the next few days, this was how the two of them interacted. Although Shen Jin's attitude towards Yan Yu improved somewhat, he still ignored Yan Yu in general.
Sometimes I'll reply to Yan Yu with a sentence or two if I want to, but most of the time I won't reply at all.
Until the afternoon of the third day.
The ship was temporarily anchored on the sea.
Everyone sat on the deck, sunbathing and chatting.
Shen Jin chatted and laughed with the tomb raiders, and Yan Yu couldn't join the conversation even though he wanted to talk to Shen Jin.
"I'm so bored..." Shen Jin said after chatting for a while.
“Yes,” one of the tomb raiders quickly replied.
Then, Shen Jin glanced at the boundless sea and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Why don't we go swimming in the sea? It would be a waste not to use such a good resource," Chen Jin suggested.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, the other tomb raiders all glanced at the sea, while Yan Yu glanced at Shen Jin.
"Sure, you're so clever," one of the tomb raiders said with a smile. "I happen to have a swimsuit on, let's go down and play together."
As he spoke, the tomb raider led a few people who wanted to go swimming to change into their swimsuits.
Soon, everyone had changed into their swimsuits, warmed up on the deck, and then lowered the rope ladder, ready to go into the sea.
"Shen Jin, why don't you not go? This is the ocean, it's very dangerous." Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, but still tried to persuade Shen Jin.
The water here is so deep, what if something happens to Chen Jin?
He can't swim, so he definitely can't save Shen Jin. That's why Yan Yu gets especially anxious when something like this happens.
He was afraid of the thought that he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill: "I'm just swimming, there won't be any danger, there are so many people here."
As he spoke, Shen Jin pulled Yan Yu's hand away and climbed down the rope ladder, followed by the other tomb raiders.
Yan Yu watched as Shen Jin went into the sea and swam, and he was still a little worried.
Then, the people in the sea started playing around.
At first, it was a chase to see who could be caught first, but later it evolved into various other games.
They were having a great time, and Yan Yu was watching from above. Seeing Shen Jin laughing with them, his mood improved, and he couldn't help but laugh along.
At this moment, Yan Yu felt a little envious of the tomb raiders, who could play with Shen Jin. He also wanted to swim and play with Shen Jin.
But there's no use in being envious, since he can't swim.
"Alright, alright, stop playing around. Let's have a diving contest and see who can hold their breath the longest," one of the tomb raiders suggested.
"Great, great, this looks fun." Another tomb raider immediately agreed.
Everyone else agreed, and Shen Jin had no objections.
So, after counting to three, everyone plunged into the water, and Chen Jin also jumped in.
Yan Yu couldn't see Shen Jin and felt a little panicked, even though he knew Shen Jin was boiling water.
About a minute later, someone couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly popped their head out of the sea, gasping for air.
Seeing that someone had come out of the sea first, the others also jumped out, laughing heartily.
“You lost,” one of the tomb raiders laughed.
Everyone else laughed along with them.
Seeing how happy they were, Yan Yu smiled but said nothing.
At this moment, someone looked up at Yan Yu and found that Yan Yu was looking at them.
"Hey Yan Yu, stop looking! Come down and play with us!" the person shouted at Yan Yu.
Everyone else also looked up at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu can't swim, and he won't go into any water that's higher than other people's, let alone such a deep ocean.
So Yan Yu smiled and shook his head: "No, no, you guys have fun."
"What's with all the hesitation? Can't we all just have fun together?" the tomb raider continued.
"I'm feeling a bit dizzy, so I'd rather not. I'll just watch you guys have fun," Yan Yu continued.
He couldn't very well tell them he couldn't swim, could he? Shen Jin was still around; it would be incredibly embarrassing for him to hear that.
Seeing that Yan Yu refused to come down, the tomb raiders said nothing more and continued to fool around together.
Everyone else was playing in the water, while Yan Yu could only watch from above.
At this moment, several seagulls flew over and circled around Yan Yu.
A few of the bolder ones perched on the railing, staring longingly at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu couldn't help but find it amusing: "Are you hungry?"
The seagulls clearly couldn't understand Yan Yu's words; they simply pecked at the railing with their beaks, indicating that they wanted to eat.
Yan Yu couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the seagull's movements.
Then, Yan Yu reached out and patted the seagull's head: "Okay, go get you some food."
So Yan Yu quickly took a piece of bread, crumbled it into crumbs, and before he could even sprinkle them on the railing, the seagull pecked directly at Yan Yu's palm, probably because it was too hungry.
Yan Yu immediately dodged, both amused and exasperated: "What are you doing? Don't be in such a hurry..."
However, the other seagulls all gathered around, trying to peck at the breadcrumbs in Yan Yu's hand.
Yan Yu stepped back slightly; if they pecked his hand directly, it would probably hurt a lot.
As Yan Yu kept backing away, he didn't realize that the sea was right behind him. Suddenly, he tripped over the railing and fell backward.
Yan Yu: "!!!"
In that instant, Yan Yu's mind went blank.
By the time they realized what had happened, they had already fallen into the sea, splashing water everywhere.
Yan Yu could only hear a constant buzzing in his ears, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white wasteland; his mind was completely blank.
"Cough cough cough—" Seawater filled Yan Yu's nose, causing him to cough violently. As he opened his mouth, seawater kept pouring into it.
The tomb raiders were stunned for a moment when they saw Yan Yu jump down, and then burst into laughter.
"What? You're finally willing to come down now?" the tomb raider who had been urging Yan Yu to come down earlier teased with a smile.
"Yeah, you were just saying you didn't want to play, but now that you see us having so much fun, are you itching to join in?" another tomb raider chimed in with a laugh.
Shen Jin watched Yan Yu jump into the sea, remained silent, and continued swimming without saying anything.
Due to buoyancy, Yan Yu's head emerged from the sea.
The tomb raiders, including Shen Jin, were unaware that Yan Yu couldn't swim, and continued to tease him relentlessly.
Yan Yu just surfaced a little and opened his mouth to speak when he immediately choked on a mouthful of seawater and sank back down.
"Haha, they seem to be having a lot of fun," one of the tomb raiders replied with a laugh.
"Yes, I used to play this a lot when I was a kid."
"Me too, this is the most profitable way to play."
Yan Yu's face was deathly pale, and fear gripped his entire body. He struggled desperately, trying to surface for help, but the more he struggled, the less he could control his body.
Yan Yu had already swallowed several large mouthfuls of seawater and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Jin and Yan Yu were standing close together. Watching Yan Yu struggle incessantly, Shen Jin frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.
Seeing that Yan Yu was struggling quite a bit and looked rather disheveled, the others stopped laughing for a moment.
"What's wrong? What are you playing now?" someone asked, puzzled.
"What trick is this time?"
Yan Yu struggled to surface, only to choke on a mouthful of seawater, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"I...cough cough! I can't...swim...really!" Yan Yu mumbled out these words.
As he spoke, bubbles were still rising from the sea, and he sank straight into the water.
"What did he say?" The tomb raiders didn't quite understand what he was saying.
“He said he can’t swim,” someone who understood replied.
Everyone was stunned when these words were spoken, including the person who translated them.
Then, another burst of laughter followed.
"How could you not know how to swim? If you can't swim, why did you jump in?"
"Exactly, they're definitely messing with us."
The tomb raiders turned to look at the spot where Yan Yu had just been. Yan Yu had sunk, and the sponge was still bubbling with laughter.
"Are you going scuba diving?" someone asked doubtfully.
Chen Jin kept staring at that spot on the water.
"Did you think it was fun watching us play?" another person asked.
"Maybe so. I also think diving is a lot of fun, and he would definitely like it too."
"Yes, he said he couldn't swim, probably just trying to trick us into going down there so he could laugh at us. We shouldn't fall for it."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, we understand. We'll thwart his plan. He won't be able to hold it in any longer, and he'll definitely come to the surface of the sea. Then we'll laugh at him."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
Shen Jin did not participate in their conversation, but remained silent.
Yan Yu slowly sank into the sea, feeling his body getting heavier and heavier, and he had no strength left in his limbs. At first, he could still thrash around a bit, but now he couldn't do anything at all.
There was no air in the water, so Yan Yu had to hold his breath to avoid inhaling more seawater.
The feeling of suffocation filled Yan Yu with despair; his lungs felt like they were about to burst, and he couldn't see anything in front of him.
Yan Yu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and opened his mouth. A string of bubbles immediately rose from the water, and seawater entered Yan Yu's mouth, causing him to faint.
In the instant his mind went blank, Yan Yu thought of many, many things.
He remembered reading in a book that a scientist said that when a person dies, they recall everything that has happened in their mind, even if only for a moment. He didn't go through all his memories.
And the person who finally comes to mind is the one you can't bear to part with the most.
He used to think this scientist was crazy, wondering how he could research this stuff.
However, now that he is facing death, he is truly recalling all his memories, just as he said.
The last one to appear was Ashes.
Will we never see Chen Jin again...?
Yan Yu's vision went completely white. He slowly closed his eyes and sank into the deep sea.
On the sea, everyone was still joking around, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Shen Jin stared intently at the sea surface, seeing many tiny bubbles rising to the surface, and then thought of Yan Yu's earlier comment that he couldn't swim.
In an instant, Shen Jin's expression changed.
"Yan Yu?!"
Shen Jin immediately plunged into the water and dived downwards with all his might. From a distance, Shen Jin saw Yan Yu sinking and was immediately startled.
At that moment, Shen Jin suddenly panicked.
After he dived into the water, he saw Yan Yu's body sinking.
Shen Jin swam toward Yan Yu at top speed, grabbed Yan Yu's sinking body, lifted him up with force, and kissed Yan Yu's lips, giving him a breath of air.
Yan Yu had already fainted and could only lean helplessly against Shen Jin.
Shen Jin grabbed Yan Yu's waist and struggled to lead him upstairs.
When everyone saw that Shen Jin had been underwater for a long time and had not come up, they immediately felt something was wrong.
Just as they were about to go down to find them, Shen Jin and Yan Yu burst out of the sea, stirring up a huge wave.
Shen Jin was breathing heavily, water droplets dripping down his hair, while Yan Yu had already fainted.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"What's wrong?!"
Only then did they realize that Yan Yu really couldn't swim, and that instead of rescuing him, they had been laughing as he sank.
Shen Jin held Yan Yu tightly, panting heavily, and placed Yan Yu on the rope ladder. The others reacted and rushed forward to help, carrying Yan Yu onto the deck.
Yan Yu, who had already fainted, lay on the deck, which was covered in water.
"Why can't you swim?!" The tomb raiders surrounded Yan Yu, all panicked and unsure of what to do.
"What should we do? Should we give them CPR?" someone asked.
"Why don't we try pinching his philtrum first? He's passed out," another person replied. "Hurry up!"
They knew basic first aid, but this time they were really flustered, after all, they never expected that a living person would drown in front of them!
Just a short while ago they were joking!
While they were in a panic, Chen Jin stepped forward, pushed them aside, and squeezed into the middle.
Shen Jin wiped the water droplets off his face haphazardly, squatted down, clasped his hands together, and pressed them hard against Yan Yu's chest.
"Get up right now!" Shen Jin shouted frantically at Yan Yu while pressing down on him.
His eyes were a little red, I don’t know if it was from the seawater.
Seeing Shen Jin like this, the tomb raiders were all stunned.
This was the first time they had ever seen Shen Jin so flustered.
Shen Jin pressed down hard, and Yan Yu spat out a few mouthfuls of water.
After finishing one set of massages, Shen Jin lowered his head and kissed Yan Yu's lips, giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, completely disregarding whether there were people around.
Seeing Shen Jin's actions, everyone else was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, but that was normal.
Then, with the mindset of not looking at what is improper, everyone's eyes all wandered in different directions, and they sighed helplessly: "What is going on? If you can't swim, why did you come to the sea? This is so dangerous."
Shen Jin was also thinking about this problem. He was angry, annoyed, and anxious, and he felt like he couldn't help but want to beat Yan Yu up.
After a while, Shen Jin's lips left Yan Yu's, but Yan Yu still did not wake up, so Shen Jin continued to press on Yan Yu's chest.
"Damn it, wake up!" Shen Jin shouted at Yan Yu.
Shen Jin gasped for breath, pressing down hard.
Seeing Shen Jin exert so much force, the tomb raiders were afraid that Shen Jin would break Yan Yu's ribs, but for a moment they dared not speak up to remind Shen Jin.
Shen Jin kissed Yan Yu's lips again and continued to perform artificial respiration, breathing in his mouth one breath after another.
