Chapter 432: Prisoner

The wind blew her hair, which gently fell onto Xu Nian's face behind her, carrying a faint fragrance.

Xu Nian, standing behind her, was not so comfortable.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Xu Nian let out a pig-like scream, her voice filled with terror. A tremendous sense of weightlessness swept over her entire body, and every cell screamed in fear.

He felt like he wasn't at an amusement park, but rather walking a heavenly path, going to paradise.

The hull he was gripping tightly now seemed to be losing its grip.

The overwhelming fear made him instinctively loosen his grip on the handrail, reach out and hug Xu Xi's waist tightly, pressing his head against her back as if grasping at the last straw.

My face instantly became wet, I couldn't tell if it was from splashing water or from tears of fright.

Boom—

With a loud crash, the cruise ship slammed heavily into the water at the bottom, creating a large splash that covered the two people.

Xu Xi's heart was pounding. The extreme stimulation was something she had never experienced before. Excitement surged within her, lingering for a long time.

It wasn't until the cruise ship slowly reached its destination and the two disembarked that Xu Xi realized his clothes were completely soaked, from head to toe, not a single part of them was dry.

She frowned and made a strange "eh" sound.

You know, she was wearing a raincoat while playing, and her whole body was covered up. How could water have leaked in?

She looked down at her waist and realized that Xu Nian was still tightly holding her waist. His arms were still trembling, and the disposable raincoat he was holding was torn to shreds, which showed how much force he had used.

"Hey, you idiot, how long are you going to hold me?" She turned around, looked at Xu Nian who was trembling all over, and smiled brightly.

At this moment, Xu Nian looked as if she had just experienced a great calamity, her soul still not back. Her face was pale, her eyes were unfocused, and she could not even walk steadily. She could only rely on the strength of holding Xu Xi to stabilize her body, like a frightened little white rabbit, disheveled and pitiful.

It's quite comical to see a grown man, over 1.8 meters tall, so frightened that he has to hide in a girl's arms for protection.

Xu Nian gradually came to her senses and realized how embarrassing she looked. Her face flushed red, and she quickly and discreetly released her grip, coughing lightly twice to try and cover up her embarrassment, changing the subject: "Are you...are you alright? Were you scared?"

Xi glared at him with feigned resentment, then pointed to her soaked clothes: "I'm fine, but some coward tore my raincoat and got my clothes wet."

Xu Nian looked at the plastic fragments left under her fingernails, her cheeks turning even redder. She scratched her head sheepishly and chuckled twice, "That...that wasn't me. It was scratched by a tree branch. It has nothing to do with me."

Xu Xi rolled her eyes at the man who was spouting nonsense: "That's a shameless tree."

The wet clothes clung to his skin, feeling cold and uncomfortable, and Xu Xi couldn't help but shiver.

She looked around and saw a changing room not far away, so she pulled Xu Nian over there.

Before going into the changing room, she turned to Xu Nian and instructed, "Tree without bark, go buy me some clothes."

"Hehe, as you say!" Xu Nian made an OK sign and turned to walk towards the clothing store in the amusement park.

However, his legs, which had not yet recovered, still walked with a soft, crab-like gait, making him look extremely comical.

Xu Xi leaned against the locker room door, watching his disheveled yet adorable back, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A slight pain came from her stomach. She looked down and saw two faint dark blue scratch marks on her fair abdomen.

After training, Xu Nian's strength was extraordinary, and coupled with the extreme fear at the time, he naturally lost his temper and used excessive force.

Looking at the two conspicuous scratch marks, Xu Xi showed no anger. Instead, her eyes glistened with tears, and a hint of warmth appeared in them.

It seems that, besides earning money, she is not a useless superfluous person.

Sometimes, she is needed by Xu Nian and can become his subconscious support when he encounters danger.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the dressing room door, and Xu Nian's voice came from outside: "Little Flame, I've bought the clothes, open the door."

Xu Xi got up and opened the door a crack, and saw Xu Nian's arm reaching in, carrying a package bag.

Inside was a bag of clean clothes, a clean towel, and a bottle of warm mineral water.

Xu Xi took the packaging bag, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Whenever she needed help, Xu Nian was always so reliable, always paying attention to every detail and taking good care of her.

After the packaging bag was taken, Xu Nian peeked in and gave a mischievous smile.

"It's dangerous for you to change clothes alone. Do you want me to come in and help you change?"

"Get lost!" Xu Xi scolded irritably, pushing his head out and slamming the door shut.

She slowly unbuttoned her soaked clothes, taking them off one by one and folding them to one side.

Then, she walked to the mirror, took out the towel that had been soaked in warm water, and carefully dried the remaining water stains on her body.

After wiping myself down, I felt much fresher and warmer.

After doing all this, she opened the packaging bag of the clothes Xu Nian had bought and prepared to change into them.

But when she saw the clothes inside, she froze instantly, her cheeks turning bright red to her ears, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

The outfit Xu Nian bought for her featured a black basketball star on the top, a large iced tea bottle on the chest, and three eye-catching characters: "King of Drag and Fall".

Xu Xiguang felt so ashamed just looking at him that he felt like steam was rising from his head.

If she wore this outfit out, she'd definitely be stared at like a monkey in a zoo.

So she knocked on the door and shouted at Xu Nian outside, "Idiot, what are you doing? What kind of random clothes did you buy?"

Xu Nian, standing outside the door, laughed so hard she could barely stand up straight: "What can I do, Little Flame? This amusement park doesn't sell proper clothes, it's all these. This is the best-looking and most suitable one I picked out, so just make do with it. Hahahaha—"

Hearing these words, Xu Xi was both angry and anxious.

This man was clearly playing a trick on him!

But she had no choice. Now she was completely naked, so she either had to go out in her wet old clothes or in the clothes that Xu Nian had bought specifically to prank him.

No matter which one she chose, she found it hard to accept.

It's like choosing between a piece of chocolate that tastes like poop, or poop that tastes like chocolate—she simply can't choose.
