Chapter 311: The Dark Poacher
Chu Zeyan's face turned a little ugly. He didn't expect Lu Xingchen to be so frank. The disappointment in his heart surged out. He asked cynically, "Don't I have any chance?"
Lu Xingchen asked back, "What would you think if I were dating Li Zhen and giving you a chance at the same time?"
Chu Zeyan knew that she was rejecting him in disguise, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "This seems to be an opportunity for me."
"Do you really want such an opportunity?"
"It's better than no chance at all."
Regardless of whether he was teasing her on purpose, Lu Xingchen didn't want to be ambiguous about this matter, so he said, "I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of person."
At this time, Cheng Xiao came back with food. Seeing the subtle atmosphere between the two, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xingchen smiled and shook his head, "No, we were just discussing some work matters."
Chu Zeyan didn't say much. He took the food handed to him by Cheng Xiao and started eating.
After breakfast, the three of them went to the cruise company for a safety check.
As representatives of the technology provider, Lu Xingchen and Cheng Xiao's job is to supervise and guide to ensure that everything is carried out in accordance with established standards and procedures.
As the big boss of the cruise company, Chu Zeyan's presence was more of a formality and he did not do any actual work.
Seeing him sitting there with nothing to do, Cheng Xiao took advantage of a break from work to whisper to Lu Xingchen, "Chu Zeyan had just returned to the Chu family not long ago, and was tied up and thrown into the swimming pool by a group of kids from that family."
Lu Xingchen looked at Cheng Xiao.
In fact, she had heard from Chen Xiaolin that Chu Zeyan and Yang Wenqi were a couple and they almost got married, so once, in order to annoy Yang Wenqi, she used Chu Zeyan.
Afterwards, Chu Zeyan told her that he and Yang Wenqi were not in a relationship, but when he was a teenager, he was tied up by other children of the Chu family and thrown into the swimming pool, and Yang Wenqi saved him.
In order to repay his kindness, when Yang Wenqi was forced by her stepmother to marry the real estate tycoon Wan Youliang, who was 30 years older than her, he proposed to her that she marry him, but Yang Wenqi did not agree.
Not long after, Wan Youliang died unexpectedly, and the marriage fell through. A few years later, Yang Wenqi married Lu Dingsheng, who was 20 years older than her.
However, Lu Xingchen didn't want to tell Cheng Xiao about this. When he heard her talking about this, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Zeyan who was not far away.
Chu Zeyan, who was sitting lazily outside, didn't know what they were talking about. He raised his hand and smiled at her.
Lu Xingchen and Cheng Xiao looked away at the same time, as if they were not talking about him. Cheng Xiao continued:
"It might have been just a joke at first, but after the rope tied to Chu Zeyan slipped into the pool, no one was willing to jump in to save him. I was afraid someone might die, so I used a pole to pick up the rope and was pushed into the pool. I couldn't swim at the time, so I could only hold on to the swimming pool ladder to save my life.
At that time, I really thought Chu Zeyan was dead. I was so scared that my legs went limp and I screamed for help. At that moment, Yang Wenqi pushed the children away and jumped into the water to rescue Chu Zeyan. "
At this point, the process that the staff was testing was completed. After both parties confirmed that there were no problems, they continued to the next procedure test.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
When checking the lifeboat's exit process, Chu Zeyan suddenly stopped watching and approached her to ask about some technical details.
Although Lu Xingchen was a little surprised, he still patiently answered his questions.
At this moment, due to a small mistake by the operator, the fixing device of the lifeboat loosened, and the huge lifeboat tilted suddenly, sweeping Chu Zeyan and Lu Xingchen into the water.
Lu Xingchen was indeed startled, but she was still a good swimmer, so she quickly swam up underwater and shouted to Cheng Xiao who was calling her in a panic on the boat, "I'm fine."
But Chu Zeyan, who fell into the water with her, disappeared.
Lu Xingchen turned his head and looked around.
"Chu Zeyan! Chu Zeyan!" Lu Xingchen called him and swam towards the place where he fell into the water.
Two staff members on the cruise ship also jumped into the water to look for someone, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't see Chu Zeyan.
After a while, Chu Zeyan floated up from the water near the cruise ship and seemed to have lost consciousness. Lu Xingchen swam to him quickly, put one arm around his neck, and paddled towards the lifeboat with the other hand.
Cheng Xiao on the cruise ship also found a lifebuoy and threw it down, but Lu Xingchen had already brought Chu Zeyan to the lifeboat on the water and asked the people on the lifeboat to pull Chu Zeyan up.
After Chu Zeyan was rescued, he lay on the ground motionless. Lu Xingchen performed CPR on him, but he still did not respond after pressing several times.
Lu Xingchen suddenly remembered that when Chu Zeyan was young, he was tied up and thrown into the water by the children of the Chu family and almost drowned. He had no doubt that he could swim, and he took so long to float up after drowning, so the situation might not be very good.
Although Lu Xingchen had learned first aid measures for drowning, she had never actually practiced saving people. Thinking of this, she felt a little panicked.
While pressing Chu Zeyan's chest, he observed him for a moment as he was unconscious, and then immediately took first aid measures.
First, he checked whether Chu Zeyan's airway was unobstructed, then he pinched his nose, took a deep breath, and prepared to put his lips against his.
At that moment, she seemed to see Chu Zeyan's throat move.
Lu Xingchen's back suddenly stiffened, and an idea came to her mind. Could Chu Zeyan be pretending to drown? As soon as this thought came out, she immediately raised her head, but Chu Zeyan raised his hand and hugged her neck.
As their lips were about to touch and their breaths were intertwined, Lu Xingchen stretched his neck back stiffly and bent his elbow, quickly attacking Chu Zeyan's heart.
Chu Zeyan is an excellent swimmer and can hold his breath longer than an average person. He almost died of death due to Lu Xingchen's trick, even though he didn't drown just now. He groaned and subconsciously loosened his arms around her neck.
Lu Xingchen also quickly pushed him away and sat up. There was not much expression on her face, but the anger and disappointment in her eyes were obvious. "Chu Zeyan, what on earth do you want to do?"
Chu Zeyan was hit hard by her elbow. He covered his chest and coughed a few times. He looked at her helplessly and smiled, "I just want to see if you will save me."
Lu Xingchen asked coldly: "Are you testing me in this way?"
Seeing that she was angry, Chu Zeyan sat up straight and said seriously: "I didn't want to test you, I just... wanted to see if you would be nervous about me."
Lu Xingchen didn't want to listen to his explanation anymore, so he stood up and looked down at him, "I thought I made it very clear that Li Zhen is the only one in my heart."
Chu Zeyan also stood up and looked at her, "You made it very clear, but I want to know if I have a chance."
Lu Xingchen took a deep breath, looked at Chu Zeyan and answered seriously: "No."
Chu Zeyan was silent for a moment this time. In fact, he always knew that Lu Xingchen was telling the truth, but he still felt a little unwilling in his heart, "Is there no chance at all?"
Lu Xingchen looked him straight in the eye and said, "No."
The two looked at each other for a moment. Chu Zeyan knew that continuing to argue would only make himself more embarrassed. At this time, a staff member came up and broke the tense atmosphere between the two.
