104 An Accident

Sang Qianqian wasn’t so arrogant as to think that Shen Hanyu bought those pieces of land for her.

When the Sang family first sold those properties, because the price was much lower than the market price, people were swarming over to buy them like flies.

From the perspective of investment, the properties were something worth putting money into.

Since Shen Hanyu was a businessman, it was understandable for him to do what a businessman should do.

Perhaps he copied her brother’s plan for Yushan Island because it was indeed impeccable.

However, in such a scenic place with many possible benefits, the top of the island was closed off to the people, which was a bit intriguing.

Sang Qianqian recalled the time when Shen Hanyu looked at her meaningfully and said, “Because I wanted to.”

She had a vague guess in his heart. Could it be that the top of Yushan was not open to the public because of this place? Was it because they had met by chance here in the past?

Even though this guess was a little narcissistic. But if it had nothing to do with her, why would Shen Hanyu want her to think about it herself?

Sang Qianqian didn’t sleep well the entire night. Her thoughts were in a mess. Things that happened five years ago, and things that happened five years later, were all stuck in her mind.

The next morning.

When she and Rong Yan got up and went to have breakfast, her head was still a little heavy.

At the entrance of the restaurant, she ran into Rong Ce and Shen Hanyu. Sang Qianqian, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up.

“Where are you planning on going?” Rong Ce asked Rong Yan.

“Rainbow Beach,”

Rong Yan said, “Brother, do you and President Shen want to go?”

Rong Ce smiled and shook his head. “We’ll be going back to the city now. We still have something to do.”

“Oh.” Rong Yan said, heaving a sigh of relief in her heart. It was good that they aren’t joining. If they did, everyone would probably not be able to fully have fun.

Shen Hanyu’s gaze fell on the girl who was silent and had her eyes slightly lowered. She had dark circles under her eyes and looked a little listless.

“You didn’t sleep well last night?”

“I slept pretty well…”

Rong Yan subconsciously agreed. However, she realised that Shen Hanyu wasn’t looking at her at all when he said this. Instead, he was looking at Sang Qianqian.

She quickly covered her mouth in embarrassment and quietly tugged on Sang Qianqian’s hand, whispering, “Sister Qianqian, President Shen is asking you…”

“I’m a little picky about my bed,” Sang Qianqian replied perfunctorily.

Shen Hanyu didn’t doubt her. “Then don’t stay here for too long. Go home and rest soon.”

Sang Qianqian pursed her lips. “I know.”

Rong Yan was a little confused.

With a gossipy look in her eyes, she asked, “Sister Qianqian, why is President Shen acting so strange? Why is he so gentle when he’s talking to you?”

“Maybe it’s because I’m the doctor who’s treating him?”

Sang Qianqian said nonchalantly, “Let’s go have breakfast. We’re running out of time.”

The little girl was easy to coax and her attention was easily diverted. Seeing that it was almost time to set off, she immediately followed Sang Qianqian into the dining room.

When they reached the beach.

Han Tianyi and Xia Sitong were already waiting for them. A few of Rong Yan’s close classmates were also there. However, Rong Yi wasn’t there. It was said that he had driven home after the birthday party yesterday.

Xia Sitong contacted the management to arrange two yachts. Rong Yan’s side was a little crowded, so Sang Qianqian, Xia Sitong, and Han Tianyi were on the same boat.

Han Tianyi drove the boat in silence. It wasn’t fast, and it didn’t take long for Rong Yan’s boat to leave him far behind.

Xia Sitong took the initiative to chat with Sang Qianqian the entire way, introducing the surrounding scenery.

As usual, Sang Qianqian was suspicious of her attitude and would occasionally respond with a few words.

When they could see Rainbow Beach from afar, Xia Sitong warned, “There are many reefs near Rainbow Beach. Tianyi, be careful.”

However, it seemed that the more he was afraid of something, the more likely it would happen.

The yacht’s movement was slightly off course. Han Tianyi subconsciously turned the steering wheel to the side, but he used too much force and the boat swayed in the waves.

Xia Sitong shrieked as she hugged onto the only lifebuoy on the boat.

Han Tianyi tried to turn the boat around, but it crashed into another reef and flipped over.

The moment the boat capsized, Sang Qianqian instinctively clung to the side of the boat.

There were not only submerged reefs here, but also a lot of seaweed. When she sank into the water, her legs and feet were entangled, and she had to drink a few mouthfuls of water.

When she finally broke free from the restraints, she floated up to the surface with a pale face.

She saw Xia Sitong hugging a lifebuoy and floating on the surface of the sea with a panicked expression, looking like she was about to cry. “T-Tianyi seems to have been washed away…”

Not far away, Han Tianyi was bobbing up and down in the waves. He looked in Sang Qianqian’s direction and was about to call for help when he was hit by the waves again.

Sang Qianqian’s expression changed slightly. In the past, between her and Han Tianyi, one had poor swimming skills, while the other didn’t know how to swim at all.

After so many years, she had improved so much, but Han Tianyi still hadn’t learned how to swim.

Seeing that Han Tianyi was drifting further and further away, Sang Qianqian gritted her teeth and let go of the side of the ship, swimming toward Han Tianyi with all her might.

The moment she grabbed onto Han Tianyi’s clothes, the man in the water felt as if he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw, and Sang Qianqian was dragged into the water.

Sang Qianqian struggled to swim upwards, but Han Tianyi’s strength was too much for her. Perhaps he was too frightened, but he held onto Sang Qianqian’s waist tightly, afraid that she would let go of him.

After a few ups and downs, she was exhausted. She tried her best to stick her head out and shouted, “Han Tianyi, don’t move. I won’t leave you behind. I’ll definitely get you out!”

Han Tianyi’s grip on her finally loosened.

Sang Qianqian used all her strength to drag Han Tianyi to the nearest reef. When her hand finally touched the reef, she was almost out of strength.

Han Tianyi was the first to climb up the rock and pulled Sang Qianqian up.

He looked at Sang Qianqian with a complicated expression. “Why did you save me despite the danger?”

“If I don’t save you, would you still be alive?”

Sang Qianqian was also speechless, “There’s still me and Xia Sitong on this ship. Even if you don’t care about us, shouldn’t you think about yourself? The lives of three people were in your hands, but you were still driving absent-mindedly?”

Although there were reefs here, it wasn’t really dangerous. The distance between the reefs was enough for two yachts to pass through smoothly.

As long as he paid a little attention, nothing would happen.

However, Han Tianyi only turned the steering wheel when he was about to hit the reef. He was obviously not in the mood to drive the boat.

Hearing Sang Qianqian’s question, Han Tianyi lowered his head and looked a little ashamed. “It’s my fault, I was indeed distracted just now.”

Sang Qianqian bit her lip and didn’t say a word. She sat on the reef while hugging her knees, silently waiting for help.

After Rong Yan arrived, she waited for a while. When she realised that they weren’t following her, she immediately turned back to look for them. The Maritime Rescue Team also arrived very quickly and was the first to save Xia Sitong.

Knowing their boat had capsized, Rong Yan’s face turned pale with fear. When she saw Han Tianyi and sang Qianqian waiting on the reef, she burst into tears.

They couldn’t play anymore, so the rescue team sent them back to the hotel to change their clothes.

Afterward, the management staff also rushed over and apologised profusely for the accident.

Rong Yan couldn’t stop crying as she and Xia Sitong both blamed themselves.
