They stayed at the bottom of the blue hole for nearly three hours.
If Gu Nianzhi hadn't rushed over and brought them backup oxygen tanks, then relied on her own strength to send him and Zhao Liangze out of the shackles of the blue hole's electric fence, Huo Shaoheng knew he would have been dead.
He Zhichu saw that Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi had finally emerged from the water and sighed deeply. His slender arms quickly paddled to them, and he and Huo Shaoheng clustered around Gu Nianzhi as they boarded their lifeboats.
"How is Little Ze?" Huo Shaoheng saw Zhao Liangze lying on a simple medical stretcher as soon as he boarded the lifeboat.
Zhao Liangze's diving mask had been taken off and replaced with an oxygen mask. His face was pale, but it didn't look as bad as Huo Shaoheng had imagined.
Huo Shaoheng put Gu Nianzhi down from his arms and pulled off his diving mask. He walked quickly to Zhao Liangze without looking back.
"Is Little Ze okay?" Huo Shaoheng asked the doctor and nurse next to him with concern. "How is he? When will he wake up? "
The doctor looked at Huo Shaoheng, then He Zhichu, and waited for He Zhichu to nod before saying to Huo Shaoheng, "You guys came up in time. If he had been unconscious for a while longer, he would have been disabled."
The brain was deprived of oxygen for too long and had a fatal effect on intelligence.
Huo Shaoheng nodded firmly. "Thank you, doctor. Please treat him well, no matter the cost."
"We will. We will definitely help Mr. He to the end." The doctor thought he was He Zhichu's guest, so he was very polite to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and continued to ask about Zhao Liangze's condition. He took out his phone to contact Yin Shixiong.
When he boarded the lifeboat, Huo Shaoheng's first target was actually Zhao Liangze …
Gu Nianzhi curled up in a corner of the lifeboat and couldn't move. She watched Huo Shaoheng leave her.
No matter how strong she was, she couldn't help feeling sad for herself when she saw Huo Shaoheng's back.
But she didn't want Huo Shaoheng to see her injuries, so she couldn't blame anyone, let alone Huo Shaoheng.
He must have thought she was fine, so it was normal for him to be concerned about Zhao Liangze's condition first.
Feeling conflicted, Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. She decided that out of sight, out of mind.
She understood the logic and logic, but when it came down to it, she found that she could not remain indifferent.
That's how relationships work. Without reckless impulses, without caring about gains and losses, and without all the twists and turns in one's heart, it can't be said to be true love, right?
…
He Zhichu boarded the lifeboat, and his subordinates quickly handed him a large, dry towel.
He Zhichu took it and wiped his hair. He looked around and saw Gu Nianzhi curled up on the floor in the corner of the lifeboat.
She was still wearing a diving mask on her face, and her dusty clothes were very inconspicuous.
He Zhichu walked over and knelt on one knee in front of her. He reached out and gently removed the diving mask for her as he said, "Why are you still wearing this? Why don't you take it off yourself? "
Gu Nianzhi didn't have the strength to stop He Zhichu from taking off her diving mask. In fact, she couldn't even lift a finger. She could only try her best to smile.
He Zhichu removed the oxygen mask for her, and when he saw her face, he froze.
Her small face was completely pale, but her lower lip was bruised, and there were obvious bite marks and broken skin bleeding. The corner of her lip had already started to swell.
He Zhichu's expression darkened, and he quickly reached out to check Gu Nianzhi's pulse.
Under his fingers, Gu Nianzhi's pulse beat very weakly. She was barely breathing, but she was hanging on by a thread, and her life force seemed to be faintly discernible.
He Zhichu's fingers began to tremble. He let go of Gu Nianzhi's wrist and squeezed her hand.
Gu Nianzhi's hand had always been very soft, so soft that it was boneless. But now that He Zhichu was holding her hand, what he felt was not softness, but weakness. A weakness that had no strength at all.
He Zhichu's heart ached. He leaned forward and carried Gu Nianzhi horizontally, wanting to quickly turn her to the ship for treatment.
Huo Shaoheng turned around to see He Zhichu carrying Gu Nianzhi. He frowned unhappily and walked over to stop He Zhichu. He asked calmly, "Professor He, what are you doing?"
He Zhichu looked at him and said coldly, "Since you've put her down, you have no right to care about her anymore."
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and looked at He Zhichu quietly. After a while, he nodded. "I owe Professor He a favor this time. I'll remember it. But Nianzhi has me to take care of, so you don't have to worry about her. Give her to me. "He reached out to He Zhichu as he spoke.
Gu Nianzhi lay in He Zhichu's arms. She was so tired that even breathing felt like a burden. She didn't have the energy to pay attention to the tension between the two men.
Going in and out of the electric fence around the blue hole's waters had really tired her out.
The intense pain had severely depleted her energy. She couldn't even speak. Her head rested weakly on He Zhichu's shoulder, and she leaned against his chest. She didn't want Huo Shaoheng to see that she had bitten her lips until they were purple.
She heard the hidden meaning in He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng's words, but she really didn't have the energy to deal with the two of them anymore.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and sighed softly.
He Zhichu was very worried about Gu Nianzhi's condition. Seeing that Huo Shaoheng was still standing in front of him, he felt a thorn in his heart. He said coldly, "Don't you see what happened to Nianzhi because of your recklessness? How can you face her? She risked her life to save you! "
Huo Shaoheng looked down at Gu Nianzhi, who was lying in He Zhichu's arms. He said calmly, "I know what I'm doing. Nianzhi will be fine."
If something happened to her, he would never agree to let her save him.
"She'll be fine? What do you mean? " He Zhichu was furious. His aloof face was filled with anger, and his shimmering almond-shaped eyes were cold and murderous. He looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was paralyzed in his arms, and said sternly, "What do you mean she'll be fine?! She's not dead, but that doesn't mean she won't be in pain! "
Gu Nianzhi's nose ached, and tears were about to fall.
She wasn't dead, but she was really in pain.
Although she didn't agree with many of He Zhichu's methods in the past, this time, He Zhichu's words deeply hit the weakest part of her heart.
"… Do you know what it feels like to be continuously shocked by high-voltage electricity? Mr. Huo, have you tried it before? If you haven't tried it, don't say such things in front of me! "He Zhichu's expression became even colder." Move! "
Huo Shaoheng didn't move. He still spread his hands, and this time, he said to Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, come here."
