The sea water was icy cold. Although the way back was not far, the temperature was too low, so my hands and feet were frozen stiff. In addition, I had to hold a bag of things in one hand while swimming, so the way back was extremely difficult. I was in a better condition, but when I turned around, I saw Bai Lu was already panting, breathing rapidly, her face was frozen pale, and the distance between her and me was gradually widening.

"Brother Zhou Bo, can you wait for me? You don't want to kill me after I'm dead, do you? I'm no longer of any use to you, so you want to get rid of me on purpose and let me die in the sea. This way you can completely avoid being threatened by my weird eyes again, right? You've long planned to bury me in the sea as well!" Bai Lu shouted tremblingly because of fear.

I sighed. This is what is meant by judging others by one's own mean character. She is used to calculating others in this way on a daily basis, and now she thinks of me in the same way too.

Helplessly, in order to prevent her from having wild thoughts, I could only find a cave wall to hold on to, and pause to wait for her. Then she swam up a little and came to my side, really afraid that I would abandon her.

At this moment, she was soaked all over, bobbing up and down in the sea water. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible through the soaked clothes, and the curves of her figure were also obvious at this moment. I couldn't help but take a look at her twice, and immediately I started to have bad ideas in my mind. Many thoughts emerged, and I quickly shook my head, telling myself that if I stayed in the water for a while longer, I would definitely freeze to death.

Just as I was about to leave, Bai Lu came closer to me, and she forced me to stick to the wall of the cave. She was breathing rapidly, not caring at all that she was exposing herself to some extent at the moment.

"What are you doing? We have to leave." I said hurriedly.

She deliberately pressed her body against me, and I could immediately feel the touch of her skin. She also deliberately wanted to take off her clothes. I hurriedly held her hand and she said, "Brother Zhou Bo, I know you are afraid of me and are always on guard against me because I have some kind of terrible curse. You are afraid that I will harm Sister Yunwen, right? Let me put it this way, I am a doctor, and I absolutely understand what your intention was with that look just now. Otherwise, you can take my body. We are family, so we have family ties. I will not harm you, and I will not make my husband unhappy by touching Sister Yunwen."

To be honest, few men can withstand her teasing. Even now, on this cold sea, I can feel the restlessness from the bottom of my heart. I may not like her, but how many men can resist a woman throwing herself into his arms?

She deliberately stroked my cheek with one hand, occasionally gently moving my red ears, and said, "It's too cold here. When we get to the shore and I calm down, you can do anything to me. As long as you want, I will never say no. I've said this, you won't leave me again, right?"

There are many nerve endings in the ears. She was stimulating me and making me confused and excited.

At this moment, I saw her as if she were a fairy from heaven, extremely charming. I happened to recall that in the illusion, she had transformed into a flower fairy from heaven, and at this moment, in a trance, I seemed to see that stunning and charming appearance again. Unconsciously, I put my arms around her waist, my body trembling with excitement.

She came very close to me, immediately hugged me tightly in the water, and then leaned close to my ear, her voice so clear that I could hardly bear it.

"Protect me, Brother Zhou Bo, let me be your woman, and you will only protect me from now on, okay?" Bai Lu asked.

I couldn't control myself and stretched out my hand to her face, caressing it gently, and unexpectedly said something that didn't sound like my own words: "You look so beautiful today..."

But I quickly shook my head, feeling that this moment was not like myself. She held my cheek with her hand, and I couldn't bear to move. I just wanted to look at her a few more times. Was it because my body was attracted by her charm? But this kind of admiration seemed as if I had fallen in love with her for a long time and was about to explode today.

She smiled, and at that moment, she seemed to be shining. Then she put her arms around my neck again and whispered in my ear, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You think I'm beautiful, so do you think I'm your lover?"

I was about to say something when I heard Yunwen's shouting on the shore. I was startled and quickly pushed her away, holding my head. But for some reason, when I looked up at her again, I felt embarrassed and a little guilty, as if I had done something excessive.

"Ahem, sorry, I may have talked nonsense just now. Let's go back quickly, otherwise if we stay in this cold sea for a while longer, we will become a pair of desperate couples." I said, but immediately realized something was wrong.

I actually said the four words "dying mandarin ducks" to Bai Lu!

Bai Lu smiled shyly and said, "I feel like we are like mandarin ducks playing in the water at this moment."

"Sorry, it was a slip of the tongue! Let's go quickly, or we'll freeze to death," I said.

This time she swam in front and I followed behind. Even though she swam slowly, I was willing to be more patient with her. Of course, I was also surprised at my sudden psychological change. I didn't know why I was fascinated by her in an instant and started to consider her in my heart.

We swam all the way back and soon reached the shore. Bailu and I collapsed on the ground, and Yingchun and Yunwen came over immediately, helped us up and led us towards the fire. It turned out that while they were waiting for us, Yunwen had already lit a bonfire to keep us warm.

When we got to the campfire, I put the bag of things wrapped in clothes on the ground and shivered. Bai Lu also threw the cashmere quilt she brought out somewhere. Since I had to swim, I wrapped the Jinque sword in my clothes before going into the water again to make it easier to carry. Since it was a blunt sword, the long clothes used to wrap it were not damaged much.

But for some reason when it was taken out, it automatically lit up with a golden-white light, but then faded away after a moment.

Yunwen was afraid that I would be cold, so she covered me with the animal skin she was wearing and hugged me to help me recover my body temperature as quickly as possible. But I didn't look at her at the moment, but kept staring at Bailu. Seeing that she was still shivering, I quickly said to Yingchun, "You should also cover your sister, otherwise she will catch a cold easily."

Yingchun nodded, but she looked a little surprised, so she took off her coat and put it on Bailu to help cover her body. Bailu stopped shaking so violently. She smiled at me and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhoubo, for your concern."

When I saw her smile, I couldn't help but be fascinated by it. I didn't know if it was the firelight or a real halo, but it was full of endless attraction. I said, "It's okay, sister. We are all friends, and it's my duty to care about you."

Suddenly, the whole atmosphere became cold and quiet. Yunwen behind me slowly let go of me, and Yingchun looked even more strange, as if she had seen something dirty.

Of course, I can feel that this is not something I would normally say.

Bai Lu smiled with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes were tender and gentle, and she said, "This is the first time I've heard Brother Zhou Bo call me sister. People in the countryside probably like to call me that. I like this name very much."

"Zhou Bo, did you take the wrong medicine? Or are you not Zhou Bo? When did you become so concerned about my sister?" Yingchun asked.

I was a little embarrassed and said immediately: "I care about everyone, you think too much."

Yunwen sat next to me and looked at me, but I couldn't help but avoid her eyes and didn't dare to look her in the eye. Perhaps this had been noticed by her, a thoughtful stewardess, and I felt like I was caught having an affair.

She looked lost and smiled bitterly, but still asked me, "Would you like to accompany me to get some shrimp meat so we can grill some to warm ourselves up?"

I nodded and was about to get up to accompany her.

However, Bai Lu said, "Sister Yunwen, Brother Zhou Bo just went into the water. If he gets exposed to the wind now, he will catch a cold. And you can see he doesn't really want to go, right, Brother Zhou Bo?"

Yunwen looked at me with a serious look.

If it were the case in the past, I would never hesitate and Yunwen’s proposal would definitely take priority. However, this time, I hesitated.
