You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Thankful For You

After some time, Bai Rong opened her eyes. It was already nighttime and her surroundings were dark.

A rope was tied around her wrists and ankles and she could feel herself floating on a surface. She guessed that she must be in the middle of the ocean.

“Rong, Rong.”

Suddenly, she heard Gu Mingchen’s voice and wondered if she could be hallucinating. Did she really miss that man so much?

“Rong, Rong.” Gu Mingchen’s voice sounded again.

This time around, she was sure that it was him and replied, “I’m here! Gu Mingchen, Gu Mingchen!”

A beam of light from a torch shone in the darkness as Gu Mingchen lifted the lid of the wooden box.

Bai Rong was surprised to see the man and asked, “Why are you here?”

Gu Mingchen immediately started untying the ropes constraining Bai Rong while he explained, “It’s a long story. Let’s leave this place first. Chen Bin is waiting for us.”

“Chen Bin is here too?” Bai Rong panicked at once. Grabbing Gu Mingchen’s arm, she said in a fluster, “Chen Bin is Lu Xingzhou’s man! It was him who kidnapped me.”

“What?” Gu Mingchen sensed danger. At the same time, he heard a sound from outside. When he opened the windows, he saw a bright blaze of light traveling at top speed towards them.

Having no time to think, the man grabbed Bai Rong’s hand and jumped out of the window. Boom! In the next instant, a bomb landed on the ship and exploded. Deafening sounds from the explosion continued for the next few seconds. In no time, the ship was shattered into pieces and sank.

A glint of shock flickered over Gu Mingchen’s face. His head was throbbing badly as different images and scenarios flashed across his mind.

He shook his head, trying his best to clear his mind and his headache subsided a little. The man looked towards Bai Rong, who was equally shocked, and said, “Wait for me here.”

Bai Rong clutched Gu Mingchen’s hand as tightly as she could.

It was just the both of them left drifting in the middle of the vast ocean.

She was aware that she was getting weaker and soon, she would be drained of energy and drown.

She did not want Gu Mingchen to leave her side at that moment as she wanted to be with him till the end, if that was indeed their fate.

“We’re running out of time. I’ll explain it to you after I come back,” the man said urgently and dived down.

That left Bai Rong all by herself. Her surroundings were pitch-black and the ocean was so vast that there was no end in sight.

She felt as if she had experienced the same situation in one of her dreams, her being all alone, faced with endless darkness and desolation.

Just then, she recalled a television program she came across previously. It was about a survivor of a shipwreck accident and how he managed to save himself.

Bai Rong removed her trousers and trapped some air before tying a knot at the hem of the trousers. Then, she looped the trousers around her neck, using it as swim ring. The television program mentioned that she could last for around two hours in the ocean using that method.

But what would happen two hours later?

She was quite certain that she was in the middle of the ocean. Even if she got lucky and did not get eaten by sharks, she would also die of either hunger or thirst.

After a long while, Gu Mingchen was still nowhere to be seen.

Bai Rong did not see a point in surviving if she was all alone.

Seven minutes later, large wooden planks started appearing next to the woman, giving her a fright.

The next moment, Gu Mingchen resurfaced, gasping for breath.

“Gu Mingchen!” When Bai Rong saw the man, she beamed in delight.

As long as she was next to him, she would feel safe and warm even if they were in the depths of hell.

Gu Mingchen smiled at Bai Rong and said, “We are lucky that there’s no wind today. Hold on to this plank of wood first. I’ll connect the wooden planks together.”

“OK,” Bai Rong replied.
