The lake water is crystal clear and some fish are swimming around in it. When they see someone jumping in, they start to flee frantically, fearing that they will become food.
After jumping into the lake, Ning Wan successfully saw the two familiar figures. He breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the two had not sunk yet.
As she got closer, her eyes fell on the water plants swaying wildly at the bottom of the lake, even though there was no wind. She couldn't help but complain in her heart:
Do these two people really not want to live?
After swimming so far, aren’t you worried that you won’t be able to find your way back?
Or have they already prepared for the worst and are ready to be buried with each other?
The oppressive feeling of the lake water was not pleasant. Ning Wan didn't understand why, but she was already dozens of meters away from the ice hole and was deeply shocked.
In her impression, some reckless explorers would carefully tie a strong rope around their bodies when going on such ice lake adventures, for fear that they would lose their direction if they stayed in the lake for too long, and in the end, only five kilograms of the box and ash would be left.
If she hadn't had Xiao Qi to help lead the way, she would never have jumped into the water so decisively.
But the next moment, Ning Wan, who had successfully seen the scene before her, felt like she was on a roller coaster, up and down. There was only one voice in her heart, constantly echoing in her ears:
She was cheated!
She was actually deceived!
How presumptuous! He really did everything he could to get her to complete this task.
[Host, it seems that Jun Yan's presence just now threatened the hero, so the alarm was triggered.] Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally explained the reason in a low voice.
Ning Wan: “…”
Shen Jingwen, who was originally warned by the system that his life was in danger, did not lose consciousness. He was able to pull up Jun Yan, who had sunk into the lake and was unresponsive. He even clearly remembered the direction of the ice hole and was preparing to return the same way.
Looking at those cold, emotionless eyes, Ning Wan felt that the lake water had become several degrees colder, as if the water surrounding her had begun to freeze and was about to freeze her entire body.
Ning Wan knew, of course, that Shen Jingwen's emotions were not directed at her, but she still couldn't control her shock when she suddenly saw him.
There was even a moment when she doubted whether she had seen the wrong person, but then she remembered that Shen Jingwen had revealed his true self in front of her as early as when they first met.
Shen Jingwen, who was able to become a powerful official, may not have been a harmless puppy from the beginning, but a wolf lying dormant, ready to eat people at any time.
It's just that his methods were too sophisticated, making her ignore that even evil people are not cultivated overnight.
At the moment Ning Wan fell into the water, the two people in the lake fought for a while, and Shen Jingwen finally won by a narrow margin over Jun Yan.
Looking at Jun Yan, who was exhausted and close to coma beside him, his eyes dimmed a little. He wanted to kill him several times, but he still grabbed the back of the other party's collar at the critical moment and prevented him from sinking to the bottom of the lake.
If this person couldn't die right now, he might really throw him to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish.
Jun Yan no longer had the strength to resist, and his eyes began to fade. Just when he thought he was going to fall into Shen Jingwen's hands this time, a beautiful figure came into his sight.
The wet clothes clung to her body, but did not harm her. Instead, she looked like the legendary mermaid, breathtakingly beautiful.
He clearly saw the tension in her eyes, as well as a hint of astonishment.
Instantly, Jun Yan felt suffocated, but he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything:
What use is Zhou Wenhuai? He was clearly told to stop Ning Wan, but this is how he ended up stopping her?
Ning Wan's surprise was genuine, and compared to Ning Wan's shock, Shen Jingwen's surprise was no less than hers. The coldness in his eyes quickly faded, and even his heart trembled again because of it:
She jumped into the water so hastily because she was afraid he would die and wanted to save him?
But after being surprised, Shen Jingwen reacted and did not feel happy about it. He even felt a small flame of anger in his heart:
Who let her go into the water?
Shen Jingwen thought that after a few years of settling down, Zhou Wenhuai would at least not make the same mistake, and at least be smarter and protect Ning Wan and leave. In the end, this is what he said, "If you don't want Ning Wan to get into trouble, just follow him"?
In just a moment, Shen Jingwen quickly approached Ning Wan, looked at Jun Yan who was in the way, and just when he was thinking of leaving him behind, Ning Wan shook his head, swam quickly to the other side, and pointed in the direction of the ice hole, indicating that they should swim there together.
Ning Wan: Now that things have come to this, let Jun Yan live for a while.
Jun Yan, who originally thought that Ning Wan would let Shen Jingwen give up saving him, was a little confused. He even felt a little warm in his heart when the other party grabbed his arm.
Maybe he is not completely without a chance?
It is naturally best to have both the country and the beauty together.
Before it got dark, Jun Yan, who was still soaking in ice water, had already started dreaming.
Less than two minutes passed, but it felt like an eternity to the three people soaking in the lake, and even more like torture to those waiting on the shore.
On the shore, when Ning Wan jumped down, Zhou Wenhuai reacted and walked over with a staggering step.
He half-knelt in front of the ice hole, his brows tightly furrowed, staring at the motionless lake surface, not even daring to blink, his eyes full of confusion.
Then he tentatively stretched out his hand, and the moment he dipped his hand into the lake water, he felt a chill that penetrated his bones, causing Zhou Wenhuai to quickly pull it out, and he already had bad thoughts in his mind.
