51 Contrac (1/2)

It was the first time in her life when Dongmei was clearly panicking at this point. She quickly swam downwards, rejecting any thoughts of Wuxing's death which started appearing inside of her mind. He couldn't die, he wouldn't leave her like that. Dongmei repeated that in her head and with only that thought driving her, she dived deeper quickly reaching the tunnel.

Bonk.

Just as she entered the tunnel, her forehead hit something hard and it hurt her really badly. She clutched her head immediately on instinct, rubbing her forehead to smooth the pain, but then she looked at what she hit and it was Wuxing she was so worried about.

As she looked at his face, the pain on her forehead quickly became a secondary thing as she reached out, pulling him into her embrace. Wuxing wasn't even halfway out of the tunnel but his head was already being squeezed by her, almost making he breathe out the air in his lungs. He was fine with long diving but if this continued, he wouldn't be able to dive ever again in this life.

Pulling himself out from the tunnel, Wuxing bounced himself from the edge while holding Dongmei by her waist and launched towards the surface. In addition, he was using his legs as a motor to push them upwards before they run out of oxygen. Dongmei didn't help him at all as she was more busy squeezing him tightly instead.

”Mhmm...” When they finally broke the surface, Wuxing could not even say anything to scold her as she quickly covered his lips and kissed him deeply, giving him no help in keeping their balance on top of the water.

At that point, Wuxing could only slowly reach the shore which was no far away as he somehow understood how she felt. When he saw the gaze she was giving him when she saw him, he couldn't help but feel touched.

Suddenly, when they regain their footing, Dongmei pulled away from him and said quietly as she hugged him tightly, ”Promise that you will never leave me.” It sounded more like an order, rather than a plea, but Dongmei didn't care.

The moment she realised that she couldn't be with her anymore, her heart didn't want to stop beating like a machine gun shooting its bullets. Dongmei didn't care that they didn't know each other for a long time and only thought about her feelings. When she imagined life without him, she felt like it wasn't what she wanted. What she wanted was him to stay by her side.

”Dongmei… Why so suddenly?” Wuxing asked as he rubbed her back. He kind of wanted to say yes, but couldn't. He didn't know what the Devil Face will demand him to do in the future and he doubted that he would leave him alone if he asked. Just from his previous answer that he gave him, Wuxing didn't think he would let her become his wife. At least for now until he stops playing around with him.

It was a word that rarely came out of Dongmei's mouth as she always preferred to get things her own way but this time she said it. What's more, she said it to another man which she never expected that she would do in her whole life. Normally, if she had to ask someone else to do something for her, Dongmei would rather not have it at that time and work harder to achieve it by her own in the future.

Hearing her plea, Wuxing couldn't get himself to go with his original plan anymore. He obviously wanted her very much, but at the same time, he didn't want to lie to her. If he is forced to do something in the future that would hurt her, he wouldn't forgive himself for that.

Just then, Devil Face broke his promise of not coming back once again and taunted Wuxing in his mind while giving him a solid laugh as an entry, 'Hah, are you regretting signing the contract now?'

'Yeah, I regret it now. If I knew I would meet her, I would rather not sign it.' Wuxing agreed right away, knowing how the contract with the mysterious Devil Face would affect his life. He wasn't the sole owner of his life anymore and now he had to listen to someone else's orders.

'Haha, too bad. Contract rules cannot be broken. Once you signed it, your soul will be bound under it. There is no going back.' Devil Face laughed once again as he explained the rules of the game. Wuxing could almost feel the smile on Devil Face as he listened to him.

Hearing about the contract, Wuxing quickly recalled the scene of their first meeting and suddenly smiled, realising something important, calling out to Devil Face right after, 'Actually, you are right. The rules cannot be broken. Tell me, you should also be bound by that contract right?'
