Chapter 209 Playing the victim
After performing artificial respiration again, Shen Jin lowered his head and pressed his ear against Yan Yu's heart, listening to Yan Yu's heartbeat.
After confirming that Yan Yu's heartbeat was a little better than before, Shen Jin continued with another set of kisses, kissing him once again without hesitation.
Some of the tomb raiders dared not watch any longer.
Shen Jin closed his eyes, looking extremely serious and tense.
Gradually, Yan Yu recovered somewhat, and his fingers trembled slightly, but no one noticed.
I regained some consciousness, but I still didn't have the strength to open my eyes.
Is he still alive? Then where is he now?
Immediately afterwards, Yan Yu felt someone kissing him forcefully and breathing into his mouth.
When that familiar feeling came over him, Yan Yu knew almost without guessing that it was Shen Jin.
Knowing that Shen Jin was kissing him, Yan Yu was at a loss. His body stiffened, and he didn't know what to do. He could only lie there and pretend to be dead, not daring to move.
After a while, Shen Jin's lips left Yan Yu's, and he gasped for breath.
Before Yan Yu could make any move, Shen Jin immediately pressed down on Yan Yu's chest with both hands.
"If you can't swim, what are you doing at sea! What are you doing jumping in! Are you crazy?!" Shen Jin shouted at Yan Yu while pressing on Yan Yu's chest.
Actually, he was extremely panicked.
Then, Shen Jin pressed down very hard, and Yan Yu suddenly straightened up, spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, and then coughed violently.
Seeing that Yan Yu had woken up, Shen Jin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Yu coughed up all the water in his stomach, then felt weak all over and collapsed back to the ground.
The tomb raiders quickly surrounded Yan Yu and asked him about his situation.
"How are you? Are you alright? How are you feeling now?"
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake, you scared me to death."
"You really scared me to death before. I never thought you really couldn't swim. We thought you were lying to us."
The tomb raiders chattered amongst themselves, all still shaken.
“Yes, it’s not that we didn’t want to rescue you, but we genuinely didn’t know you couldn’t swim,” someone explained.
Hearing their words, Yan Yu had no strength to answer. His head was throbbing, he was dizzy, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
He had no way to respond to them.
At this moment, someone quickly interrupted them, saying, "Yan Yu is still weak. Don't ask any more questions. Quickly help Yan Yu inside to rest."
Upon hearing his words, everyone realized what was happening and quickly responded. They then hurriedly helped Yan Yu into the house to rest.
Yan Yu was helped up and struggled to turn his eyes to look at Shen Jin. He was relieved to see that Shen Jin had stood up and followed him.
The group helped Yan Yu into the room, and Shen Jin followed him in.
Then, several tomb raiders helped Yan Yu up and were about to put him on the bed.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Yan Yu's clothes are still wet. If he lies down like this, the blankets will get wet too. Let's change his clothes first," someone said.
Upon hearing his words, the others finally realized what was happening.
"Where are Yan Yu's clothes? Bring out a set," said one of the tomb raiders who was supporting Yan Yu.
Before they could say anything more, Shen Jin stepped forward, took Yan Yu from their hands, and let Yan Yu lean against him.
"I'll take care of it, you guys go and rest," Shen Jin said to the others.
"Okay, then just call us if you need anything." Seeing Shen Jin's actions, the tomb raiders didn't say anything more.
Although Yan Yu was a grown man like them, it was still somewhat awkward to have to take off all his clothes to change.
Therefore, it's more appropriate for Shen Jin to handle this kind of thing.
“Okay.” Shen Jin nodded in agreement.
So, everyone quickly left the room.
Yan Yu clung to Shen Jin, wanting to reach out and hug Shen Jin, but he couldn't muster the strength and could only let Shen Jin hug him.
Shen Jin kept holding Yan Yu, struggling to hold the clothes with one hand. She should have asked them to help her take the clothes out.
After getting the clothes, Shen Jin hugged Yan Yu and walked to the bedside, placing them on the bed.
During this time, Yan Yu stayed attached to Shen Jin.
"Alright, let me help you take off your clothes." Shen Jin took a deep breath and patted Yan Yu's hand.
"Okay," Yan Yu replied weakly.
He felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body, and apart from being able to open his mouth and say a few words, he couldn't do any other movements.
Because Yan Yu's body was wet, he couldn't be allowed to sit on the bed.
So, Shen Jin looked around and finally said to Yan Yu, "You sit down on the ground first."
Yan Yu obediently responded and sat down on the ground, while Shen Jin carefully carried Yan Yu down to sit.
Then, Shen Jin squatted down and reached out to unbutton Yan Yu's clothes.
“I thought… I would never see you again.” Yan Yu said suddenly after a long silence.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin paused for a moment, but did not look up at Yan Yu.
“If you jump again, you can go straight to see the King of Hell.” After a long while, Shen Jin finally answered.
If he hadn't discovered it early, or if he had been a step later, Yan Yu might not have been saved.
"I..." Yan Yu began to explain that he did not jump down on purpose.
"Shut up." Shen Jin, annoyed by Yan Yu, interrupted him directly.
Yan Yu immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Shen Jin then continued to undress Yan Yu.
Watching Shen Jin's actions, Yan Yu felt a little nervous and watched quietly, not daring to speak.
Shen Jin just gave him CPR, which means Shen Jin still cares about him, right?
Soon, Yan Yu's coat was taken off, and Shen Jin continued to take off Yan Yu's inner clothes. Since Yan Yu's hands were weak, Shen Jin took them off one hand at a time.
While taking off his clothes, Shen Jin's fingers accidentally brushed against Yan Yu's chest, and Shen Jin's fingers immediately froze.
Yan Yu was also a little embarrassed and silently lowered his head. Shen Jin looked at the blush on Yan Yu's face and felt a little awkward, his face burning.
Finally, Shen Jin took a deep breath, said nothing, and continued to help Yan Yu take off his clothes.
When it came to taking off his pants, things became even more awkward. Shen Jin felt at a loss and dared not look.
"Ugh..." Yan Yu let out a suppressed cry when Shen Jin's hand touched his inner thigh.
Chen Jin withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
"I didn't do anything, why are you yelling at me?" Shen Jin was silent for a while before awkwardly asking the question.
"No...it's just too itchy." Yan Yu immediately became anxious and explained with some grievance.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin felt somewhat helpless.
A moment later, Shen Jin continued to pull down Yan Yu's pants: "Stop yelling."
"Mm," Yan Yu replied.
Finally, Shen Jin helped Yan Yu take off his clothes. Then, Shen Jin helped Yan Yu sit on the bed and first helped him put on his pants. Otherwise, with that part of his body exposed, he wouldn't know where to look.
"Could you lift this one a little?" Shen Jin patted Yan Yu's leg and asked.
"Okay, sure," Yan Yu replied, then struggled to lift his leg slightly.
Shen Jin quickly helped him put on his pants, and did the same for the other leg.
After putting on his pants, Chen Jin felt much more relaxed and started helping Yan Yu fasten his belt.
This position is still quite dangerous, and Chen Jin is still very careful, but he can't seem to get the metal buckle to stay in place.
After a while, Yan Yu reached out and pressed down on Shen Jin's hand, covering it with his own, and said, "Like this."
With a "click," the belt was fastened.
Shen Jin's cheeks, however, were flushed.
At this moment, Yan Yu's hand was still covering Shen Jin's hand, and Shen Jin hurriedly and frantically broke free: "I don't need you to teach me."
After saying that, Shen Jin grabbed Yan Yu's clothes and roughly put them over Yan Yu's head and neck, making Yan Yu's hair very messy.
Seeing Shen Jin like this, Yan Yu actually found it quite cute and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who's laughing with you? Take it back." Shen Jin's face immediately turned cold.
Yan Yu was already afraid that Shen Jin would get angry, so he immediately suppressed his smile.
Shen Jin grabbed Yan Yu's hand and slipped it into his sleeve. Yan Yu just watched Shen Jin quietly as Shen Jin held his hand.
After helping Yan Yu put on one sleeve, and just as she was about to put on the second, Yan Yu grabbed Chen Jin's hand.
"I don't want to get dressed so quickly," Yan Yu said after looking at Shen Jin for a while.
He only needed one sleeve left to finish dressing. Once he was dressed, he would never have the chance to experience Shen Jin gently helping him get dressed again.
The opportunity for Shen Jin to help her get dressed was extremely rare, and she wanted to cherish it.
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu calmly, while Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin cautiously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Then don't wear it." Shen Jin replied coldly.
Anyway, since they were inside the room and Yan Yu's wet clothes had already been taken off, there was no need to worry about him getting cold, so not even a single sleeve was missing.
After saying that, Shen Jin withdrew his hand, no longer helping Yan Yu put on his clothes, nor looking at Yan Yu again.
Yan Yu immediately panicked: "No, no. I want to wear it."
"Didn't you just say you didn't want to wear it? Then you might as well not wear it at all." Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu and said without changing his expression.
“No, I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it,” Yan Yu replied immediately.
This is probably what they mean by "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."
Hearing Yan Yu's sincere and aggrieved voice, Shen Jin continued to help Yan Yu put his hand into the other sleeve, and the clothes were finally on.
Then, Shen Jin reached out and tugged at Yan Yu's clothes, helping her straighten the wrinkles.
"Alright, all changed." After changing, Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.
"Thank you," Yan Yu and Shen Jin said in hushed tones.
After finally getting Yan Yu dressed, Shen Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
It was indeed a bit awkward when I was changing clothes just now.
Afterwards, Shen Jin took a deep breath and composed himself. His mood had just gone through a rollercoaster of emotions, and he really couldn't bear to go through it again.
Yan Yu stared at Shen Jin silently for a long time, not daring to speak again, afraid that he might accidentally say something wrong and anger Shen Jin.
"Alright, take a rest. You'll feel better after a rest." After calming down, Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu and said.
Yan Yu nodded and replied, "Okay."
"Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Shen Jin asked again.
“Yes, it hurts here…” Yan Yu nodded, clutching his chest with his hand and speaking softly.
Shen Jin glanced down at it.
That's where he pressed too hard when he was giving Yan Yu CPR. He just changed Yan Yu's clothes, and you can see it's all red there.
"It was just a few presses, why are you being so dramatic?" Shen Jin completely ignored Yan Yu's aggrieved whining.
Before Yan Yu could say anything, Shen Jin continued to accuse him: "Why did you come if you can't swim? And why didn't you tell us? If you had told us beforehand, we would have rushed to save you immediately. Would that have happened then?"
Hearing Shen Jin's accusations, Yan Yu simply lowered his head, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.
He didn't tell Shen Jin the reason he was afraid of losing face. Now that Shen Jin was criticizing him like this, he was indeed quite embarrassed and even a little ashamed for making them worry so much.
"I...I dare not. I'm afraid if I tell you, you won't let me follow you." Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, looking very pitiful.
He hoped that this would win Shen Jin's sympathy and make Shen Jin treat him better.
"Don't be so fierce, I didn't mean it," Yan Yu said in a muffled voice, his head lowered.
Shen Jin realized that Yan Yu was deliberately feigning pitifulness to gain his sympathy, so he ignored him.
"Come on, I knew you couldn't swim, but you still came along anyway. You're shameless." After saying that, Shen Jin turned around and left.
Yan Yu felt incredibly wronged watching Shen Jin leave, but he couldn't say anything and could only continue lying in bed.
Shen Jin simply walked out the door, while several tomb raiders remained outside.
Upon seeing Chen Jin emerge, the group quickly surrounded him.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?" someone asked.
"You've recovered, and your clothes have been changed. Is there anything else you need to do?" Shen Jin nodded and spoke slowly.
"Let him rest first. He's probably exhausted right now. We'll give him a check-up once he's feeling better to see if there are any other problems," the tomb raider replied.
Shen Jin nodded and responded.
Fortunately, he rescued him in time. Otherwise, if Yan Yu had sunk any further, his eardrums might have been crushed by the water pressure. However, he checked Yan Yu's other organs and found that they were all fine, so he should be alright.
It means that after drowning, your limbs feel weak. You should be able to recover after resting for a while.
After that, Chen Jin stayed outside to get some fresh air.
In the evening, everyone sat down together for lunch.
“Yan Yu can’t come out, Ah Jin, why don’t you go in and have dinner with him?” one of the tomb raiders said to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin responded, picked out some of Yan Yu's favorite foods, and then stood up.
"Then I'll go in," Shen Jin said to the tomb raiders.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Yan Yu is probably feeling pretty bad, so be nice to him." The tomb raider waved his hand and said casually.
Upon hearing the second half of the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback. Was he really that obviously treating Yan Yu badly?
After a moment, Shen Jin stopped thinking about it and took the food inside.
"Dinner's ready." Shen Jin came to Yan Yu's bedside, placed the food on the bedside table, and said to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu turned and glanced at Shen Jin.
"Can you move your hand?" Shen Jin asked Yan Yu.
"No, I can't move it," Yan Yu replied cautiously.
They were afraid that Shen Jin would just leave.
Shen Jin knew that this was due to the lack of oxygen when drowning, which caused weakness in the limbs. Yan Yu's consciousness returned before his limbs, so he could not move his hands and feet.
He wasn't an unreasonable person, so he couldn't scold Yan Yu for this. He could only sigh and reach out to help Yan Yu sit up from the bed: "Sit up first."
Yan Yu was immediately flattered and quickly sat on the bed following Shen Jin's hand.
Then, Shen Jin moved a stool, sat down next to Yan Yu, and fed Yan Yu the food.
"Open your mouth," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu immediately obediently opened his mouth.
After feeding Yan Yu a few bites, Yan Yu suddenly asked, "Haven't you eaten yet either?"
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin replied directly, "I'll eat later."
Yan Yu didn't say anything more.
Soon, Shen Jin fed Yan Yu all the food, and then walked out with the empty plates.
After casually eating some dinner, Shen Jin remained sitting outside, as he really didn't want to go back and stay with Yan Yu.
Night falls.
A strong wind began to blow across the sea, and waves crashed against it one after another. Then it started to rain, with large raindrops pouring down.
The tomb raiders quickly moved items that couldn't get wet from the deck inside and temporarily stopped the ship, as continuing to sail in this weather would be too dangerous.
Yan Yu was sitting on the bed in the room, bored.
She is much better now, and can basically do some movements again, and has regained some strength.
A thunderstorm raged outside the window, and Yan Yu could see the heavy rain through the window.
At that moment, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Shen Jin walked in, along with a lot of cold air blowing in.
Shen Jin quickly closed the door, shutting out the strong wind, let out a breath, walked over to Yan Yu, and found a chair to sit down.
"Your clothes are all wet," Yan Yu said, looking at Shen Jin's clothes.
“Just a little bit, ignore it,” Chen Jin replied directly.
Looking out at the stormy weather, Yan Yu felt that sailing at sea like this was indeed too dangerous.
So Yan Yu turned to look at Shen Jin.
"See? I told you before, the sea is very dangerous," Yan Yu said earnestly to Shen Jin.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin looked up at him but remained silent.
Yan Yu continued, "I'm serious. Look how unpredictable the weather is at sea. Even if it's been fine before, how do you know it won't stay like this forever?"
Shen Jin was so annoyed by Yan Yu's words that he realized he was definitely not suited to be with Yan Yu.
"This is so annoying, shut up." Shen Jin glared at Yan Yu and said.
However, Yan Yu didn't stop talking at all and kept going on and on.
“I told you before that the sea is dangerous, but you insisted on coming…” Yan Yu showed no intention of stopping.
Finally, Shen Jin couldn't take it anymore, so he suddenly stood up, turned around, and glared fiercely at Yan Yu.
"Stop being so noisy! If you keep nagging, I'll throw you, you landlubber, into the sea!" Shen Jin shouted angrily at Yan Yu.
Startled by Chen Jin's roar, Yan Yu was stunned, all his words stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single syllable.
"Did you hear me? If you bother me again, I'll kill you!" Shen Jin continued to shout at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu stared blankly at Shen Jin, suddenly finding it quite amusing to banter with him like this.
"Are you really that fierce?" Yan Yu asked cheekily.
"..." Shen Jin suddenly had no words to say.
"Can you shut your mouth?" Shen Jin asked speechlessly, not knowing why he talked so much nonsense.
Yan Yu pursed his lips, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Why? Isn't it good for the two of us to have a chat?"
"I prefer peace and quiet and don't like chatting with others," Shen Jin said coldly as he sat back down in his chair.
If it weren't for the weather, he really wouldn't want to hide here.
"But you seemed to enjoy chatting with them, so why do you say you don't like chatting when I want to talk to you?" Yan Yu continued to kiss him relentlessly.
"..." Shen Jin did not answer him.
Yan Yu then pushed his luck even further: "Then can you just listen to me? You don't have to talk."
Shen Jin took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and kicked Yan Yu, but the kick was not very strong.
"You're so annoying!" Shen Jin said, finally losing his temper.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin cautiously, thinking that Shen Jin might be angry.
Seeing Yan Yu like this, Shen Jin took a deep breath, then turned around to open the door and go out.
Yan Yu was startled when he saw Shen Jin about to leave.
"Don't go, I was wrong, I won't bother you anymore." Yan Yu quickly called out to him, and even tried to get down to stop him.
It's very dangerous outside now; Chen Jin can't go out.
However, Shen Jin acted as if he hadn't heard Yan Yu's words and opened the door directly.
"Wait a minute, Shen Jin, don't go out! It's too windy outside!" Yan Yu shouted as Shen Jin opened the door, his voice filled with anxiety.
The moment the door opened, a fierce gust of wind blew in, carrying a chill and a salty taste.
The wind was so strong that Chen Jin took a step back, shielding his face with his elbow as his hair was blown backward.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jin closed the door again and retreated back into the room to stay with Yan Yu.
Even after closing the door, Shen Jin's hair was still messy. He reached out and tidied his hair, restoring it to its original state.
"You just said it yourself, don't bother me anymore." Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu and said coldly.
Yan Yu nodded vigorously in response, "Okay, okay, no problem, I definitely won't bother you."
