Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Why Did She Jump Down After Him?
The moment Ji Hanyu released Bai Haoxue’s hand, he was prepared to face death.
After all, this was a bottomless abyss.
However, what nobody expected was that the bottom of this abyss was not flat land or a chasm but a deep pool.
The moment he climbed out of the deep pool, Ji Hanyu laughed genuinely.
He truly had a great fortune.
For someone who never believed in gods, Buddha, or ghosts, in that instant, he surprisingly felt gratitude towards heaven.
He was still alive!
That meant he could continue to protect and love Bai Haoxue!
The deep pool at the bottom of the abyss already made Ji Hanyu feel surprised and grateful.
Yet, something even more surprising happened to Ji Hanyu, or perhaps it could be said this way.
It shattered all his understanding and was shocking beyond belief.
Bai Haoxue jumped down from above.
Ji Hanyu used the word "jump," not "fall."
Because he knew with certainty that Bai Haoxue jumped down, rather than falling because the rope suddenly snapped.
The degree of wear on the rope wasn’t enough for it to break so quickly, and without his weight, there was a high likelihood that the rope wouldn’t break, at least not in the short term.
Ji Hanyu climbed out of the deep pool, wringing the water out of his clothes, his brow furrowed as the pain in his back became more intense.
"Splash..."
Suddenly, he heard a "splash," as if an object had fallen from above into the deep pool.
In the first moment, Ji Hanyu didn’t realize the "object" falling from above was Bai Haoxue.
Because the thought and awareness of it didn’t exist in his mind.
Ji Hanyu continued to wring water out of his clothes, but his mind recalled Bai Haoxue’s words earlier.
"Ji Hanyu, if you dare let go of my hand, I will dare to jump down."
In less than a second, Ji Hanyu immediately jumped into the deep pool, making the injury on his back even worse due to the violent movement.
This deep pool was very, very deep, and the water was bone-chillingly cold.
Ji Hanyu swam for quite a while before he saw Bai Haoxue.
She seemed unable to swim, water continuously pouring into her mouth, and due to lack of oxygen, she was already on the verge of suffocation in the water.
Ji Hanyu quickly swam over, pulling Bai Haoxue into his arms, pressing his mouth against hers, continuously giving her air.
After a while, Bai Haoxue finally regained consciousness, and the instant she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Hanyu.
Her watery eyes were filled with overwhelming joy. Instantly, she delightedly, excitedly, and eagerly hugged him tightly.
Ji Hanyu felt the same way.
Thus, the lifesaving method of exchanging air gradually transformed in nature, with the two lovers, who survived a near-death experience, kissing each other passionately and inseparably in the water, as if it were the end of the world.
Their kiss was domineering and intense, mixed with complex emotions—ecstasy, excitement, thrill, anger, and rage.
However, the emotions shared by the two were both remarkably similar and different.
The similarity was the overwhelming joy of losing and finding each other again, of surviving a calamity.
The difference was in anger and rage.
Bai Haoxue was angry and furious at Ji Hanyu for letting go of her hand, treating his own life with disregard.
Ji Hanyu’s emotions were a bit more complex; he was also angry and furious at Bai Haoxue.
Why did she jump down after him?
If there wasn’t a deep pool below, she would have died.
How could she possibly die?
And Ji Hanyu’s anger and rage were mixed with feelings he couldn’t even articulate, only certain of his astonishment.
He was shocked and bewildered.
Why did she jump down after him?
