Chapter 1049: Chapter 1073: Overcoming Obstacles

But after many years, psychological barriers are not so easily overcome.

Soon, that tension swept over again, and Shi Nuan closed her eyes.

In the darkness, it was as if she instantly returned to more than ten years ago, when she was just a child.

Because Shi Yue was celebrating a birthday, everyone revolved around Shi Yue, yet they ignored that it was her birthday too, but not a single person remembered.

She didn’t want to envy watching Shi Yue get blessings from everyone, while she had nothing.

So she ran out alone, came to a small riverbank, attracted by a small flower below, and the little her, daringly climbed down to pick it.

But the path was too slippery, so she directly fell in, instinctively struggling.

Shi Nuan would never forget that night; it was terribly quiet all around.

She was completely submerged in the water, hearing only the sound of her body splashing, the ripples in the water, the endless liquid covering her, she couldn’t even cry for help.

And soon she sank, and before Shi Nuan lost consciousness, she fell into a warm, youthful embrace, she heard the person calling her name.

But it was too late; she’d already experienced true darkness, redemption came too late.

Tears streamed from Shi Nuan’s eyes, her breath once again became erratic, water choked into her ears, nose, mouth, she began desperately struggling underwater.

Chu Zhan saw this, and without thinking, he grabbed her arms.

Then he slowly leaned his face close to hers, sealing her slightly parted lips from panic, his strong body pressed tightly against hers.

Shi Nuan’s world quieted down immediately, even her struggling limbs stiffened there.

She felt the clear oxygen belonging to Chu Zhan transferring into her mouth.

In an instant, it was like being reborn.

Shi Nuan’s pale eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, meeting Chu Zhan’s gaze.

They were underwater, clinging to each other as if they could only survive by relying on one another, kissing passionately.

Shi Nuan cherished the warmth of this moment, made her feel less afraid, the sound of the water flow could not even reach her ears, only the man’s hot, coarse breath echoed again and again.

Nuannuan, Nuannuan.

Don’t be afraid, I’m here.

If I had known earlier that your childhood was so unfortunate.

How much I longed to go back to your childhood and become a light that saves you from the darkness.

To tell you that you’re not alone, you have me.

I’ll be with you, if you feel cold, I’ll give you a hug, if you feel suffocated, I’ll give you oxygen, when you turn around, I’m right behind you.

How could you think you would be alone?

Nuannuan, can you feel my warmth?

It’s all yours, all yours, I’m willing to give up everything, to give the unique warmth in the world all to you.

Shi Nuan hugged the man’s neck back, hot tears falling down her face and melted into the water.

The next day, all the trainees gathered here, to witness Shi Nuan’s achievement of overcoming the fear of water.

Everyone held low expectations for Shi Nuan, after just one night, how could it be overcome so easily.

See, she hasn’t even started going into the water, Shi Nuan’s face has already turned pale, she clearly won’t succeed.

He Huixi folded her arms, looked at her with a mocking smile, and said,

"Shi Nuan, if you’re afraid, why not admit defeat and leave, so as not to waste everyone’s time."
