Ji Siyue looked over with full hope, but the hope in her eyes dimmed a bit the moment she saw who it was.
Zhu Zhiyao managed to pull Ji Siyue over and swam towards the shore with all his might, dragging her along.
Although Ji Siyue was a bit disappointed that the one who came to save her wasn't Qin Chengyao, she could still clearly tell the current situation. She calmed down obediently, hugged the person beside her, and the two swam towards the shore together.
Fortunately, the swimming ring hadn't fallen off during the struggle just now, so they could save a bit of effort.
Qin Chengyao rushed over in a hurry. He grabbed Ji Siyue's arm too, and the two of them worked together to pull Ji Siyue, whose body was so stiff that she could barely move, towards the shore.
When they reached the shallow sea, Zhu Zhiyao was already out of strength. Fortunately, Nangong Qi quickly came over and pulled him away, and only then did Ji Siyue reach the shore safely.
After getting on the shore, the four of them lay on the ground, gasping for breath. All of them were filled with a sense of shock after surviving a disaster.
Ji Siyue patted the arms of the people on both sides of her. "I survived this great disaster today and will surely have good fortune later. Thank you all for risking your lives to save me!"
Qin Chengyao didn't say a word. He just propped up his body with difficulty, stood up, and walked towards the other side.
Everyone quickly turned their gazes towards him. They saw that after he walked up to a woman sitting on a beach chair, he directly said, "I won't let this matter go today. My girlfriend almost died because of your prank. Whether you tell me who you are today or not, I have ways to find out who you are and hold you legally accountable. Just wait for the court summons!"
Actually, if it had been on a normal day, he wouldn't have been so angry at all. He would have just regarded it as a boring prank at most. But today, Ji Siyue almost died because of this woman. His mood hadn't calmed down yet. How could he forgive this woman!
Nangong Qi stared at the person over there in disbelief.
"This is the first time I've seen Lao Qin talk to a girl in such a tone, Siyue. It seems that this woman really made Lao Qin angry!"
Ji Siyue gave a faint smile but didn't say anything.
Zhu Zhiyao walked over to pick up his clothes and directly threw them around Ji Siyue's neck.
"Aren't you cold? Cover yourself with them!"
Ji Siyue picked up the clothes and asked in confusion, "I'm not cold!"
She looked down at her neck, and her face instantly turned as red as if it had exploded.
What Zhu Zhiyao wanted her to cover wasn't anything else, but a hickey on her neck, which looked extremely ambiguous. There were people all over the beach now. Presumably, everyone had already seen it.
Ji Siyue didn't care about anything else. She just sat up immediately, put on the clothes, and ran to one side with a blushing face.
Zhu Zhiyao gave a helpless smile. What he didn't notice was that Nangong Qi was sitting on one side, quietly looking at him with a meaningful look in his eyes.
After what happened today, Ji Siyue wasn't in the mood to continue playing. So Qin Chengyao simply took her to the hospital for a check - up. It was found that there was nothing serious and she hadn't inhaled much water. So after the doctor treated the wound on her foot, they left.
Standing at the entrance of the seaside hospital, Ji Siyue couldn't help stretching out her arms and sighing, "To be honest, when I was in the sea, I almost thought I was going to die... The sea around me was so deep that it was almost black, and my foot was still bleeding. I was really afraid that a shark would rush over and swallow me whole the next second!"
Qin Chengyao couldn't help smiling. He stroked her head and said, "The more scared a person is, the less they should think about those messy things. The more you think, the more scared you'll be. When I saw you, I found that your limbs were stiff. On the one hand, it was because you had spent too much time in the sea, and on the other hand, it was because you were too scared!"
Ji Siyue knew what he meant, but she still shook her head helplessly, as if mocking herself.
"I know what you mean too, but if I could still calmly and composedly deal with the situation like that, then it wouldn't be called being scared."
Qin Chengyao raised his eyebrows and thought about it carefully. It seemed that she was right.
"Anyway, it's really great that you're okay this time. I'm planning to take a few guys from the team out for some fun tonight. Can you entertain yourself in the hotel?"
The smile on Ji Siyue's face couldn't help freezing a bit.
"Can't I go with you?" She didn't even know how much disappointment was hidden in her tone when she asked this question.
"They won't be able to relax much when playing with a woman like you. I'm going to take them to a bar to have a good time and let loose. But don't worry, I won't mess around. I won't drink a single drop of alcohol. I'll just watch them. I don't want you to go to that kind of place. But if you really want to go, then I..."
"Alright, alright. I won't go to that kind of place. I don't want to go at all. Since you guys want to have a crazy time together, then go ahead! If you want to drink, just drink. Don't worry about me!"
Qin Chengyao helplessly pressed down her hand that was in a hurry to explain. "I said I won't drink, and I won't. You can rest assured!"
In the evening, the five men went out together, while Ji Siyue stayed alone and bored in the hotel. After looking at the night view for a while, she found that there was nothing else to do just sitting there like this, so she took out her phone.
She hadn't checked it for a day or two. Since she posted photos of her trip, there should be quite a few messages.
After logging into Weibo, the most talked - about things regarding her weren't the comments from her fans about her trip to the south, but something else.
#When Will the Game Female Anchor Ji Siyue Run Away?#
#Ji Siyue and Qianqian#
#Ji Siyue, an Ungrateful Person#
After seeing these topics about herself, Ji Siyue couldn't help laughing out of anger in the hotel.
Just by looking at these topics, she could tell that Qianqian and the company were behind this.
It seemed that just paying the liquidated damages wasn't enough. The company didn't want her to leave like this. If she didn't continue to stay in that company, they would also ruin her future live - streaming career!
This was a common tactic used by companies. Before her, there had been several other anchors who ended up like this.
She was already used to it, but there was still one thing she hadn't figured out until now.
