oceanic heart- Wangxian (English Version)

8- Rescue

When Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian arrived at the office together, looking worried, all the colleagues thought it was a bad joke. They were never in the habit of arriving together. Wen Ning always arrived first. What's more, they seemed to be in a sorry state. The two friends ignored the foreign glances and locked themselves in their office.

-Pfff... Nothing's going right," exclaimed Wei Wuxian.

-Above all, make sure you run into Wen Chao as little as possible, okay? ordered Wen Ning. It might give him ideas...

-Yes, don't worry... reassured Wei Wuxian.

Then the day's work began. Tension hung in the air, until a colleague entered the stuffy workplace.

-Mr. Wei, the boss is calling for you.

Wei Wuxian tensed, and his breath caught. Wen Ning looked at him in despair. Then Wei Wuxian took a deep breath, stood up and gave Wen Ning a big smile before heading for the office.

He couldn't afford to back down. If he did, then Wen Ning and Jin Ling would be doomed. When he reached the door to Wen's office, he felt a deep-seated fear seize him. But he entered anyway. He had to present a confident image to Wen Chao. If he looked lost and scared, the boss would have no qualms about laughing at him and using him.

When Wei Wuxian entered the room, Wen Chao smiled perversely.

-Good morning, handsome.

-Good morning, sir.

The fact that Wei Wuxian kept an emotionless face made him disappointed. He would have liked to see him trembling with fear. But he quickly pulled himself together and beckoned Wei Wuxian to come closer. Wei Wuxian The red-haired man swallowed with difficulty before obeying.

Wen Ning could no longer work. He was horribly worried. It had been half an hour since Wei Wuxian had left for his cousin's office. Then the door opened. Wen Ning entered. Seeing that Wen Ning was staring at him, he turned to him.

-Everything's fine, okay?

He sat back down and resumed his work without adding anything. Wen Ning watched Wei Wuxian's hands. Although Wei Wuxian said everything was fine, he couldn't help trembling.

Lan Sizhui stared at the sea stretching out before him. He moved a finger forward, but it stopped dead in front of an almost invisible barrier. He finally turned on his heel and returned to Jin Ling, who was trying to create a knife with two stones.

-This barrier is weird," remarked Sizhui. I'm pretty sure that if we touch it, the humans will feel it.

-We're trapped. They're clever. They're isolating us without food. Either they'll find us, or we'll come to them.

-We're not going to stoop to that.

-We've been here three days and we haven't eaten a thing. There aren't any fish here. Maybe surrendering would be the best decision...

-Jin Ling! These guys are sadists! Let's just wait for Hanguang-jun to come back.

-Pfff...

A strange light caught Sizhui's attention. He took Jin Ling's arm and hid behind a rock. An underwater vessel passed by, lighting up the sea on all sides, then sailed off into the distance.

-We're being hunted.

Jin Ling stared at Sizhui. It was his fault they were both in danger. Maybe if he surrendered, the barrier would come down and Sizhui could get out.
