Chapter 124 The Third Choice
Bai Zhenzhu and Su Yizheng went to Greece to take wedding photos.
The filming lasted for three days, with almost no time to rest, as we were constantly rushing around.
On the fourth day, Su Yi-jung returned to his country.
Because he is very busy with work, and now he is running his own business, he needs to be in charge of everything, big and small.
Inside the airport, Bai Zhenzhu came to see him off, and Su Yizheng reluctantly kissed her forehead lightly.
"Senior, can you really not spend a few more days with me? We've only been taking pictures these past few days, and we haven't visited any tourist attractions yet!"
"Pearl, I'm sorry, my company has a very important project that I have to go back to negotiate in person. You have fun here, and I'll definitely spend more time with you next time I have the chance."
Bai Zhenzhu mumbled something under her head, but Su Yizheng couldn't hear it.
"Huh? Pearl, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, don't worry about going back. I'll come back to China to find you after I've had my fun!"
After saying goodbye to Su Yizheng, Bai Zhenzhu left the airport and returned to her hotel.
But on the way back, Bai Zhenzhu always felt that there was a pair of sinister and terrifying eyes watching her from behind.
But as soon as she turned around, all she saw were unfamiliar faces; there were no strange people around.
She kept a watchful eye on her phone, keeping the 110 dial button on her screen so she could call immediately if anything unexpected happened.
And so, I returned to my hotel room with trepidation.
She had just closed the door to her hotel room and was standing in the foyer, trying to see through the peephole if anyone was following her, when she suddenly saw a man wearing a black baseball cap, a black mask, and all black clothes enter the room diagonally opposite.
The cat's eyes were a bit small; she could only see a rough outline.
She nervously looked around the door for a long time, making sure no one came out from the other side, before slowly walking into the room, taking a shower, and taking a nap.
However, she didn't sleep very soundly. Whenever she heard any noise, she would immediately open her eyes alertly, her heart pounding.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, I simply got up and went to the beach to sunbathe.
She applied sunscreen all over her body, wore a low-key white swimsuit with a light green tulle skirt over it, a huge straw hat, and black sunglasses, and walked barefoot towards the golden beach.
She lay lazily on the beach chair, closed her eyes, put on Bluetooth earphones, and played soothing music, feeling extremely relaxed.
This is what a real vacation is, not rushing from one attraction to another, taking photos and posting them on social media.
She felt itchy and hot from the sun, so she decided to go into the sea for a while.
Because she can swim, and she only played in the shallow water, she didn't bring a swimming ring.
But it was this confidence that caused her to suffer.
While swimming, her leg suddenly cramped up.
She started thrashing about in the sea, swallowing a bellyful of seawater, and worse, she was about to sink.
"Help, help me..."
Everyone else was doing their own thing, and no one noticed her unusual behavior.
Just as Bai Zhenzhu was about to suffocate and had resigned herself to closing her eyes, she felt someone hug her waist and pull her upwards. She finally felt fresh air rush into her nostrils.
But she still couldn't open her eyes; it seemed like she was really going to die.
In her dazed state, she felt as if someone was choking her, slowly pulling her towards the shore. A familiar voice kept whispering in her ear, "Pearl, hold on, don't fall asleep, just wait a little longer, we'll be ashore soon, Pearl..."
This voice inexplicably possesses a reassuring power.
Is it Su Yi-jung?
No, it wasn't him. He's already flown back to China.
Who was that? Who would risk their life to save me like that?
Could it be... Shi Jin?
When the name popped into her mind, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of seawater.
He instantly regained consciousness.
She recognized him; it really was him.
"Shi Jin? What are you doing here?" Without the usual sharp exchanges, her voice was weak but still gentle.
Shi Jin looked nervously at the white pearl that she had lost but regained, tears mingling with the seawater and streaming down her face.
He held Bai Zhenzhu tightly in his arms, saying with lingering fear, "Zhenzhu, thank goodness, you're alright, you're still here..."
When Jin rushed into the sea to save Bai Zhenzhu, Bai Zhenzhu had already stopped breathing and her heart had stopped beating; her body had already sunk.
At that moment, he thought that if Bai Zhenzhu were gone, he would sink with her.
He wouldn't let Bai Zhenzhu disappear alone in the icy seawater; this time, he would stay with her no matter what.
Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu came back to life; she was still the same Bai Zhenzhu with flesh and blood and breathing.
He held Bai Zhenzhu tightly in his arms, and she could hardly breathe.
She reached out and tugged at his sleeve. "No, let go of me first, Shi Jin, let go..."
Shi Jin obediently let go of her, then picked her up and carried her back to the hotel.
Instead of returning to Bai Zhenzhu's room, they went to the room diagonally opposite Bai Zhenzhu's.
She then realized that the person who had been following her was Shi Jin!
She was placed on Shi Jin's bed, and then Shi Jin covered her with a blanket and hurriedly went to the bathroom to run hot water for her.
When she came out again, Bai Zhenzhu had regained some of her complexion, but she was still shivering from the cold.
Her voice trembled involuntarily, "You, you followed me? Tell me, when exactly, when did you get here?"
"Can we talk about this after you've finished your bath? You're very cold and weak right now, and you'll definitely get sick if you don't take a hot bath soon."
Shi Jin patiently spoke to her as if coaxing a child.
Seeing Shi Jin's determined gaze, Bai Zhenzhu had no choice but to nod.
After a comfortable half-hour bath, Bai Zhenzhu emerged.
She changed into the pajamas Shi Jin had prepared for her, dried her hair, and felt less cold. She picked up her clothes and prepared to leave.
“I want to go back to my own room,” she said firmly.
"Okay, but I have to go back with you."
Bai Zhenzhu looked at him in confusion, "Where are you going?"
"I'm worried about you. If you get a fever at night, I want someone to take care of you."
"No need! My senior will take care of me!"
"Bai Zhenzhu, please stop being so stubborn. I know Su Yizheng has already returned to the country, and you can't take care of yourself by yourself."
"You've really been stalking me! Shi Jin, you're a pervert!"
Shi Jin ignored what Bai Zhenzhu had said to him, and instead grabbed her shoulders, looking at her with deep affection and sincerity: "Two choices, either I'll go back to your room with you, or you'll sleep here with me tonight..."
"I want a third option: to jump off this building!"
"Fine, I'll jump with you! From this day forward, your life is my life, your death is my death!"
