"Your phone?" Gu Ye asked, puzzled. "I haven't seen your phone."
Yu Sheng's phone was in the small crossbody bag she was wearing.
When she took off her wet clothes, she noticed that her small handbag was missing and assumed that Gu Ye had put it away.
His statement that he didn't see his phone means he didn't see the small handbag.
Could it be that... she fell into the sea while struggling in it?
It's not impossible!
She originally wanted to ask Gu Ye if he had seen her carrying a small handbag when she was rescued.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she managed to hold them back.
If asked, she would mention that Shang Yan rescued her.
Although it was true, they now seem to have reached a tacit agreement to avoid mentioning it, probably because they are afraid that it will disrupt the balance between them.
Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't speak, Gu Ye asked, "Did she fall into the sea?"
Yu Sheng murmured, "It should be!"
"We're ashore. I'll go buy you another one. Rest first."
"Um……"
Having just experienced drowning, Yu Sheng was indeed quite exhausted, both mentally and physically, but she couldn't sleep.
When she closes her eyes, she sees Shang Yan riding a motorcycle with wings speeding towards her; she sees him rushing towards her from the bottom of the mountain, ignoring the thorns and rocks, and picking her up; she sees him clinging to the back of her chair as she jumps off the building in the dilapidated factory…
There were also images of him pinning her against the wall shirtless, of him coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after a shower, and of him drunkenly pulling her into his arms and forcibly kissing her…
Those images threw her mind into chaos, and her heart into chaos as well.
She wasn't a naive young girl experiencing first love; she knew what was wrong with her, but she dared not confront the thought. Fear and tension made her heart race and her palms sweat profusely.
She felt she must be crazy, otherwise why would she suddenly have such a thought?
Can't!
Yu Sheng, you can't have those kinds of thoughts!
You are a married woman!
Even if you are not a married woman, you still cannot.
Because...because...he is your...brother...
Yu Sheng bit her lower lip hard in embarrassment.
Just then, a knocking sound and Duan Huaisheng's voice came from outside the door—
"Gu Ye, we're about to dock!"
"knew."
Gu responded and turned to look at Yu Sheng.
He noticed that Yu Sheng had already sat up in bed, and seeing that her complexion still wasn't good, he asked worriedly, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Yu Sheng was indeed feeling unwell, but not physically; it was more of a mental discomfort. She forced a smile and said, "I feel much better."
"Don't push yourself. Tell me if you feel unwell, and we'll go to the hospital right away."
"Um."
Yu Sheng put on slippers and came out of the lounge with Gu Ye, only to see Qiao Moya and Duan Huaisheng.
Qiao Moya asked Yu Sheng in a concerned tone, "Sheng Sheng, are you feeling better?"
Yu Sheng didn't like Qiao Moya to begin with, and since it was possible that Qiao Moya had pushed her down, she didn't want to pay any attention to her. However, out of politeness, she still responded softly.
Jomoya smiled and said, "That's good. We've reached the shore. Let's disembark."
As soon as Yu Sheng took a step, Gu wrapped his arm around her slender waist. She immediately went on her guard, looked at him, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I can walk by myself."
“You’re weak, I’ll support you, so you can conserve your energy.”
After Gu finished speaking, he took Yu Sheng and walked forward without saying another word.
Yu Sheng couldn't forcefully push him away, so she could only let him hold her.
When Yu Sheng disembarked, she made a point of looking for Shang Yan, but she didn't see him. Was he not on the boat? Or did he rescue her and then just ride away on his motorcycle?
What Yu Sheng thought was also what Gu Ye thought.
After he got into a fight with Shang Yan, he took Yu Sheng to the lounge and didn't know where Shang Yan went.
With Yu Sheng present, he couldn't very well ask Duan Huaisheng, so he decided to go back to the hotel first.
It was a little past two in the afternoon. The group had eaten breakfast but hadn't had lunch. Duan Huaisheng wanted to go eat, but Yu Sheng had no appetite, so she told them to go eat while she went back to her room to rest.
Gu was also worried about Yu Sheng, so he said to Duan Huaisheng, "I'm not eating either, you two go and eat."
Yu Sheng didn't want Gu Ye to stick around and wanted to be by herself for a while, so she said, "I'm fine, you go and get something to eat, and bring me some too."
"Alright then, what would you like to eat?"
"Just bring it to me as you see fit."
"If you feel unwell, call me right away, and I'll go buy you a cell phone after I finish eating."
"Uh-huh!"
The group entered the elevator together. After Gu Ye and the others got off on the third floor, she finally let out a long sigh. Her eyes were blank as she stared at the rapidly changing numbers on the elevator screen. When the elevator doors opened on the eighth floor, she looked outside and froze...
A man stood outside, his posture as upright as a pine tree. He wore a blue striped shirt, and through the open collar, one could see the beautiful lines of his collarbone. He wore casual jeans and casual shoes, aviator glasses perched on his nose, and a stylish sports watch on his wrist.
Yu Sheng always remembered Shang Yan as someone impeccably dressed in a suit and exuding a powerful aura, so seeing him dressed like this, she almost didn't recognize him. After a moment of stunned silence, she called out, "Brother..."
Shang Yan responded and stepped into the elevator. Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't seem to be leaving, he said, "I'll get off!"
Yu Sheng then realized she should get off the elevator. She hurriedly looked away, stepped out of the elevator and walked forward. After a few steps, she remembered that she should thank Shang Yan, but when she turned around, the elevator doors had already closed.
While regretting her momentary lapse in concentration, Yu Sheng wondered why Shang Yan was on this floor. Did he also live on this floor?
