Chapter 4: Bro, You're So Naughty
998 Words
Jackson swam while observing the sharks. They usually dive to the seabed, waiting for an opportunity. When you let your guard down, they suddenly leap up and strike their target with precision!
But the waters here aren't deep, so the sharks' dorsal fins are exposed on the surface!
The sharks occasionally dive to the seabed and sometimes their dorsal fins emerge, causing Jackson to panic and swim quickly!
He didn't dare switch hands to carry the suitcase, nor did he want to throw it away. Giving up the treasure he wrestled from the shark's mouth would be a total waste, right?
His right hand was already numb, but he continued to swim mechanically. His body was exhausted, but Jackson's will was strong. He couldn't let the shark notice, because once it did, it would suddenly attack!
Sure enough, the shark sped up, its dorsal fin rapidly heading towards Jackson!
Jackson stopped moving, trying hard to float on the surface, his eyes fixed on the shark's dorsal fin. When it was five meters away from him, he pushed the suitcase forward with force and dived into the water. Remembering the nearby rocks, Jackson swam desperately towards them. Just as the shark was about to bite his calf, he grabbed the rocks, swung his body with force, and hid among the rocks, avoiding a strike!
"Splash!"
The shark was clearly impatient, flicking its tail to change direction, intending to strike with full force!
Jackson's heart raced, but he forced himself to stay calm. The more panicked he was, the easier it was to lose his footing!
No matter how the shark attacked, Jackson refused to leave the rocks, but staying too long would suffocate him!
Fortunately, this shark was also foolish, crashing straight into the rocks. Taking this opportunity, Jackson swam to the surface to breathe and swam towards the shore without stopping!
"Phew!"
Finally, he could see the shore, and the suitcase was not far ahead!
The shark was still below, and Jackson knew danger could strike at any moment. He didn't relax for a second, as the shark was lurking near the suitcase, indicating it was smart too!
"Beast!"
Jackson was no longer panicked. Since you’re waiting for me over there, I'll just rest here and gather my strength!
He checked his watch; it was already 5:45, and he had been resting for about ten minutes!
His body was at its limit; he couldn't delay any longer. The pressure from the sea was a silent torment for Jackson, and his breathing was becoming increasingly labored!
"Hey, handsome guy!"
Suddenly, a bell-like voice sounded in his ear, and Jackson looked in the direction of the sound.
"Don't come over, there's a shark!"
Before he could see the woman's face clearly, the shark leaped out of the water, its gaping mouth heading towards the woman...
After a while, Jackson gazed at the calm lake surface, feeling gloomy and filled with bitterness.
"Hurry up!"
In a daze, a suitcase appeared on Jackson's left, and a hand from underwater wrapped around his waist!
"The shark is temporarily stunned!"
Jackson didn't know how she escaped until they reached the shore!
The woman stood up, her figure striking, making Jackson's heart race and blood pump!
Overwhelmed! But he was too tired, so he managed to walk a few steps and sat on the rocks, closing his eyes to rest.
"Pfft!"
"Hey, haven't you ever seen a pretty girl before?"
Lily glared angrily at Bethany, who covered her mouth and giggled.
"Lily, come put on some clothes, or brother might have a reaction from looking at you too long!"
Such bold words made Jackson open his eyes and look at the girl. Her luscious lips, fair and rosy cheeks, and large, sparkling eyes that seemed to hold stars. She was petite, and her every move exuded innocence and cuteness, making one feel a protective urge!
People with stars in their eyes are dreamers, full of fantasies about life!
"Bro, you have a great body, but why are you looking at me like that? You're making my heart skip a beat!"
Bethany pouted, winking playfully at Jackson.
"Alright, give me the clothes!"
"Thank you!"
Lily quickly put on her clothes, glanced at Jackson, and said lightly.
"I wasn't planning to save you at first, but with just the two of us women, having an extra man is more secure, and didn't we also get a suitcase?"
"My sister even took off her clothes for you, so, big brother, do you want to take us along?"
Bethany ran up to Jackson, resting her chin on her hands, eyes smiling, "I wanted to jump in and save you too, but my swimsuit was missing!"
Such bluntness, for a cute girl to speak like this without reservation in front of a stranger—innocent or intentional?
"Ahem... let's see what's in the suitcase first!"
Jackson seized the chance to glance behind the rocks, relieved to see the yellow-spotted fish still there.
"You risked your life to bring this up, and we saved you in exchange for inviting you to join our group!"
Lily reached out to stop Jackson, her eyes threatening, her arm strong, gripping his wrist tightly!
This woman is cunning, taking advantage of his weakness to overpower him!
"The more people, the better the chances of survival, I couldn't ask for more!"
As soon as Jackson finished speaking, Lily let go, "Then you decide how to share what's in the suitcase!"
Opening the suitcase, there was a lighter, a small dagger, a few sets of clothes, some cosmetics, and a set of intimate apparel!
Seeing this, the three of them felt the atmosphere turn awkward. Bethany pinched the intimate apparel with her fingers; it was a fully transparent maid outfit!
After surviving such an ordeal, Jackson found himself a bit parched at the sight.
To his surprise, Bethany giggled charmingly, "Wow, is this for couples? Such a unique taste!"
She finished with a meaningful glance at Jackson.
