Chapter 10 You Should Confront Your Fears

Beach above Fontainebleau

After Qiuhe's pointless struggle, he was dragged to the beach by Peruvier and Clévius. They also brought along members of Tianyaochen's group.

"Mmm—the seaside air is so refreshing. Hey! Friends over there, can you hear me?!" Claire shouted towards the other side of the sea.

Qiuhe was standing not far from the beach, not knowing if anyone was on the other side. He kept restraining himself from reacting with fear.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to face anyone. At this moment, Tian Yaochen rushed forward, picked up Qiuhe, and rushed towards the sea.

"Gunfire Squad Captain Tian Yaochen has arrived! Get out of the way!"

"Waaaaah! Help! Stop it!"

At this moment, Kirie, who was lying on the bench next to me, basking in the sun, drinking milk tea, and reading a novel (The Overbearing God's Son Falls in Love with Me and Forces Me to Live Off Him), suddenly pulled out a bunch of coral pearls from somewhere.

It was thrown directly towards Tian Yaochen. Tian Yaochen, who had stepped on the pearl, lost his balance and fell forward violently. (A slow motion...)

Tian Yaochen, carrying Qiuhe, rolled towards the sea like a meatball chariot. There was a wooden plank protruding ahead, and the two of them rolled directly onto it, instantly launching themselves into the air.

Then, with a sudden plunge, he dove into the sea. Feeling himself fall in, Qiuhe was filled with despair. He lay on the sea, thrashing about like a dead fish.

"Save me! Glug glug glug... I won't glug glug... I can swim! Glug glug glug!"

The people standing on the top of the beach were also puzzled when they saw this scene, wondering what kind of performance art this was.

At this moment, Tian Yaochen, who was standing next to him, also spoke up. "Why don't you stand up and try?"

"I'm all in the sea now, how am I supposed to stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up?" Qiuhe realized he was lying face down in the water and could even sit up.

The water level was only up to Tian Yaochen's knees; they were still on the beach. It had just been high tide, making it seem like they had fallen into the sea.

At this moment, Qiuhe was thinking of digging a hole and burying himself, but Tian Yaochen leaned closer to Qiuhe with a mocking look on his face and said in a cheeky tone.

"Oh? Could it be that, Leyi, you're afraid of water?"

"Hey?"

Tian Yaochen suddenly felt himself being lifted up. It was Lily; she was holding Tian Yaochen by the back of his collar with one hand and grabbing his waistband with the other.

Like lifting a small dog, he suddenly threw Tian Yaochen into the sea ahead. "Whoa!" *Splash* Tian Yaochen fell directly into the sea.

"I hope Tian Yaochen will be alright."

"It's alright, Clementine. The captain's usually like a fish; he'll swim up in a minute."

"Qiehui still looked indifferent. Wearing small sunglasses, she lay on the bench, sunbathing, drinking milk tea, and reading that book (The Domineering God's Child Falls in Love with Me and Forces Me to Live Off His Wife)."

"By the way, do you still have that novel by Che Hui? Peipei confiscated the one you gave me before."

Peruvieri suddenly turned her head, and Claire felt a chill run down her spine as she felt the slightly cold gaze.

"Uh, I meant... those pearls you just threw were so pretty, could I have some? Hehe."

Lily, standing on the beach, gently comforted her, "It's okay, Leyi. Not being able to swim isn't a big deal. Everyone has fears; I'm really afraid of bees."

"Every time I see bees, I'm afraid they might sting me." Qiuhe is also suffering for the sake of saving face.

"I... I wasn't scared. I... I was just... hungry! I was so hungry! Hungry! Hungry!"

Peruvier suddenly grabbed Akikawa by the back of his collar. Her face darkened, and she said coldly, "I brought food."

"Why........"

Peruvée pulled Akikawa and walked into the water.

"Even if you beg the heavens to end it all, you're still going to the river today!" Qiuhe watched the river draw ever closer. The nightmares of his childhood were beginning to replay before his eyes.

Looking at the river, Akikawa's eyes trembled. "No," Akikawa said, grabbing Peruvier's hand. The fear in his heart forced him to confess.

"When I was a child, I fell into the water once. I can't swim. I almost drowned, and ever since then I've been too afraid to go into the water."

Everyone on the beach silently watched as Akikawa Kirie sat up.

Tian Yaochen then emerged from the water.

"I choked on water when I was four years old, and I was terrified of water back then. As I grew older, my competitiveness increased, and the more afraid I was, the more I wanted to overcome it."

"Finally, I conquered the ocean. Look at me now. Don't I look like a mermaid?"

As he spoke, Tian Yaochen writhed and twisted in the sea like an eel, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"Water itself isn't scary; what's scary is not having the courage to overcome it."

Then Tian Yaochen looked at Qiuhe with expectant eyes, but Qiuhe did not respond. Peruvieri held Qiuhe's hands in hers.

"Let's go down together. I'll hold your hand, okay, Qiuhe?"

"Yes, yes, Qiuhe, we'll go down with you."

Lily and Clementine echoed each other, while Tian Yaochen waved to his people on the beach.

"Hey, you three, what are you still looking at? Get down here right now!"

Kailer and Cindy exchanged a glance, thought for a moment, and decided to go. Meanwhile, Chehui was still lying on the bench, reading the book (The Overbearing God's Child Falls in Love with Me and Forces Me to Live Off His Wife).

Tian Yaochen also arrived next to Qie Hui at this time.

"Kie, stop reading that novel. Everyone else has gone swimming, you're the only one missing."

"Who told you this is a novel? I'm reading about sentiment and art. Understand?"

"Oh well, let's go, or we'll all be far away."

"Then tell me (Please, Master, give me a chance to show you my love and sincerity)."

To everyone's surprise, the next second Tian Yaochen pouted and started to speak in a hesitant manner.

"Please, Master Chehui..." Before he could finish speaking, Chehui's hand instantly grabbed Tian Yaochen's mouth.

"Woo! Woo!"

"Alright, my little servant, your master will accompany you for a stroll."

On Qiuhe's side, Peruvieri and Clévy each held one of Qiuhe's hands, while Lily supported him from behind as they slowly walked into the water, which gradually rose above his neck.

A tense look appeared in Qiuhe's eyes. "If we take another step forward, the water will completely submerge us," Peruvieri and Clévy said in unison.

"Are you ready?"

Akikawa took a deep breath, and then Peruvier and Clévy grabbed his hands and swam backwards into the sea.

Claire looked at Qiuhe's closed eyes and gently opened them with her hand. Qiuhe then noticed...

In the sea of ​​Fontainebleau. Even with her eyes open, Qiuhe felt no discomfort, and looking at her companions around her, her heart warmed.

Thinking about his experiences on Earth, and wondering if this was a blessing from heaven, Kailer saw the bubble seahorse ahead and adjusted his glasses.

He swam towards the bubble seahorse, and everyone noticed that he was wearing glasses while swimming, wondering if the glasses were embedded in his face.

The bubble seahorse was sleeping when it felt something blocking the sunlight. Opening its eyes, it saw a creature with an unidentified object on its face staring at it.

Bubble Seahorse then realized something was wrong and was about to leave when Kailer grabbed him. Everyone looked on, wondering what he was going to do.

Then, Kelly squeezed the bubble seahorse towards Lily, and the bubble seahorse released a big bubble that covered Lily's head.

Everyone found this scene amazing, so Kailu made a bubble helmet for each of them.

"This is a bubble seahorse I saw in a book about marine aliens. It can blow out big bubbles like a helmet, so we can talk underwater."

Everyone was equally surprised and amazed.

Listening to this, Tian Yaochen exclaimed in admiration of the strategist, "As expected of a strategist, every casual remark is full of knowledge!" The group then continued swimming towards the other side of the sea.

At this moment, Akikawa slowly released his grip on Clévy and Peruvé's hands. Clévy, seeing this, was very happy and smiled warmly.

Peruvelli, still with her usual expressionless face, slowly released her grip on his hand. Tian Yaochen caught up with Qiuhe at this moment, and the two swam forward very quickly, as if in a race.

After a while, the two gradually saw the shore.
