C45 (1/2)

Xia Ying gradually stopped resisting, and only then did Zhong Zhen slightly relax.

She spoke out her thoughts, ”I was conflicted from the beginning about whether I should tell you this, but I hope I can let you know the truth about me, so I hesitated. If you feel that my concealment has hurt you, then please tell me. As long as you don't leave me. ”

Xia Ying's eyes lit up slightly. Zhong Zhen continued, ”I know the fear and dread in your heart, but at least give me some trust, okay?”

Xia Ying looked at Zhong Zhen, but she still compromised. He knew very well that even if it was a lie, he would not hesitate to fall into it. Was this what it meant to be in love? It seemed very dangerous.

”I just want to ask you, do you like her?” Xia Ying still asked.

Zhong Zhen followed Xia Ying's gaze and found Odile, who was standing not far away. Now, Zhong Zhen finally understood the reason why she was so sad.

”Of course not. If I did, why would I go to China to be your assistant and chase you? We grew up together, and if we had any feelings, we would have married a long time ago. Both of our parents were looking forward to this, but I didn't like her at all. I really just thought of her as a little sister. ”

”Really?”

”Of course!” Zhong Zhen laughed and pulled Xia Ying closer into her embrace, ”So this is what you're truly afraid of? ”I'm really happy. You're going to be jealous of me for all this, haha …”

Xia Ying rolled her eyes at him, ”Are you really called Zhong Zhen?”

”Eh, you can't be angry about this. Not really. ”

Xia Ying endured her temper and frowned.

Zhong Zhen felt his legs go weak, ”I – I am actually called Xue Minghuang, but because I grew up in China, I have been called Zhong Zhen for a longer time, and only got called Xue Minghuang here. ”Don't be angry.”

”I really didn't expect that after knowing you for so many days, I actually don't even know your name.”

Zhong Zhen knew that she was very angry, and had no choice but to calm her emotions. However, it was very good, just now it gave Zhong Zhen a big shock, thinking that Xia Ying really wanted to break up with him. Zhong Zhen had never thought that he would still have such a day.

”There are too many things I don't know about you.”

”You just need to know a little bit?”

”What?” Xia Ying looked at him, not knowing what tricks he was trying to pull.

”I love you for that.”

Xia Ying rolled his eyes at him. This glib tongued appearance was really annoying.

However, after saying that, he also laughed, ”I'm not that numb to everyone. Xia Ying, you will be the first, and also the last. ”

Looking at the smile on Zhong Zhen's face, Xia Ying felt it even more real than before. She really did not know what to do with, or what to do with her heart.

Suddenly, the cruise ship started to shake, Zhong Zhen grabbed onto Xia Ying who almost fell down, why is there such a violent shaking in such a calm ocean? The uneasiness and fear in his heart slowly increased.

His phone started ringing in time, without any hesitation, Zhong Zhen picked it up, it was Jing Feng, his tone was extremely anxious, he almost shouted out loud: ”Mr. Xue, get off the boat!”

”It's too late.” Zhong Zhen knew that it was already too late, and the reality was as he had expected. In the end, he still asked Jing Feng, ”Explain the specific details.”

”O'neal has a plan to hijack this cruise and our people are on their way. Mr. Xue must hold on until we come to save you, so hide first. ”Faster!”

Zhong Zhen immediately cut off his phone, turned around and held onto Xia Ying's shoulders, ”Now, don't ask anything, listen to me. The situation is very urgent, quickly leave me and go into the crowd. They probably didn't find you and will be safe if you stay far away from me, quickly! ”

After saying that, he pushed Xia Ying away, and just as he was about to turn and leave, Xia Ying held onto Zhong Zhen's hand, and ran to the second floor, ”How could I abandon you and run away?” Xia Ying didn't know why, but she was completely sure that Zhong Zhen's words were true, and she believed the so called 'Ten Thousand Fire Urgent' danger.

Zhong Zhen let Xia Ying pull her, and ran around the shaky banquet hall. Her hair brushed against his face, and it was itchy, but her heart felt the same way.

The two of them squatted in the hiding place on the second floor. The position here was very good, and they could overlook the entire view downstairs. The two were very close, and Xia Ying could feel that something was hiding behind his jacket at the back of his waist.

It was hard to tell how she felt in her heart. She was afraid that this time, the danger was really life-threatening, but she wasn't afraid at all. Was it because she was holding his hand? Xia Ying couldn't help but ask herself in his heart.

Zhong Zhen looked at the increasingly flustered crowd below him, then turned to Xia Ying and asked, ”Are you afraid?”
