Chapter 52 Be Your Brother

The boat stopped suddenly, and the ears were suddenly empty, the continuous vibration of the engine disappeared, and the inertia caused the cups and plates on the table to shift and collide, making a disturbing hum.

Fu Xun stood up quickly, raised the blackout curtain, and looked out.

Outside the porthole is the endless black sky and earth, the heavy rain is so dense that you can't see clearly, only the violent crackling sound of hitting the deck and the sea can be heard.

The hull was too high, and he couldn't see the bottom of the boat. He opened his eyes hard again, and seemed to see a flickering light appearing in the air very close.

The light was not produced by itself, but more like it was reflected from the moment the ship's lights flashed because of the humidity.

Fu Xun suddenly had a bad feeling, because it looked like the surface of a rock.

The people in the restaurant looked at each other and looked around frequently, trying to find an explanation.However, no one can answer what is happening now.

Some waiters started running outside.

"What's going on?" Fu Xun finally grabbed one and came over.

The waiter slipped on his foot and was almost picked up again by Fu Xun, his expression was really ugly: "I'll go and check the situation, sir, don't be impatient."

Fu Xun had no choice but to let him go again.

He turned his head and saw Lu Heyang looking at him across the panicked crowd, he walked over again and held his hand.The dials of the two watches are inlaid with fine diamonds cut from the same rough diamond, and the straps are one thick and one thin, perfectly matched. Lu Heyang thought why he was too dull to see it before.

Until the shouting and harmony on the deck became so deafening that the noise could be heard in the dining room, Fu Xun decided to go out and have a look.

Lu Heyang said: "Together."

Fu Xun hesitated, and then said yes.

As soon as I walked out and stood on the porch, my whole body was soaked by rain, and every strand of wool in the sweater was covered with raindrops.There are many crew members on the deck, and some of them wear large yellow raincoats, but they are not very useful. The hem is blown up by the wind and almost covers the head. The rainwater wets the clothes inside without any effort. Pressed, like a torn bulging kite, it looks more embarrassed than not wearing it.

"What's the matter?" Fu Xun struggled to prop up an umbrella, tilted the angle along the direction of the rain, and finally saw clearly.

"The radar suddenly failed, the weather was too bad, and we hit the rocks." Seeing that the passengers had all walked to the deck, one of the crew members couldn't hide it, so they had to answer truthfully.His face was covered in a raincoat, so he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he couldn't judge the seriousness of the matter, but his voice sounded steady, "Xiao Zhou went to see the power room, as long as the ground floor is fine..."

Before the words fell, the hull tilted slightly, and there was an obvious sinking feeling standing at the end of the deck.Immediately after the alarm was sounded, there were seven short and one long, and the sharp sound instantly pierced the eardrums, resounding through the entire behemoth.

The sailor's arm holding the walkie-talkie hangs down by his side, his voice is like a fully drawn bowstring, trembling uncontrollably: "The power room is destroyed, and the bilge is flooded."

Soon his voice could not be heard, because a large number of people rushed onto the deck, women were crying, children were screaming, the rain swallowed all the sounds, and when they were released, they became ten times louder and shrouded all fear.

Lu Heyang's shoulder was hit by someone, and he was a few minutes away from Fu Xun. Fu Xun tried his best to approach against the crowd, and once again firmly grasped his wrist.

"Go to the lifesaving assembly area on the side corridor, where you can get on the suspended lifeboat." Fu Xun said hurriedly, panting a little.

The emergency searchlight above the head was turned on suddenly, and the blazing white light illuminated the night in an instant. Two red flares were fired from the stern, dragging the white tail straight into the sky, and then marking the bloody rainy night.

After a short period of blindness, Lu Heyang finally saw clearly every strand of rain from the sky to the ground, the hard black reef that was beaten by the waves beside the huge ship, and even more clearly Fu Xun's darkening pupils, as well as the shocking eyes. A light of reassurance.

"Don't be afraid." Fu Xun held him by the hand.

Just like the young Lu Xun holding his hand at the edge of the skating rink, this time he didn't need to hesitate, and he didn't need to judge the authenticity and kindness, he curled his fingers tightly and held back firmly.

Not afraid.

What to be afraid of.

Fu Xun is here.

The person he most wanted for 13 years in his life was already by his side.

It is only a short distance on weekdays, but it is extremely difficult to walk at this time. It has been nearly 10 minutes by the time we reach the side corridor.The entire corridor was already crowded with people, and the hull tilted more and more because of the unbalanced weight.The broadcast was guiding the passengers to evacuate by lifeboat, but the stormy sea exacerbated the crowd's panic. With such low temperature and huge waves, as long as they fall into the water, it is almost impossible to survive.In the almost hoarse shouts of the crew, no one obeyed the order, and some even dragged their luggage stubbornly, making the corridor even more difficult.

Fu Xun asked for two life jackets from the crew of Denggao Commander, and gave them to Lu Heyang. The two people almost touched each other's faces to help each other fasten and fasten the clothes. The damp and cold made the breath from their mouths white. Blend together.

In the early stage, many passengers misoperated due to panic, and some lifeboats fell into the water without carrying enough people.There are still many old and weak women and children stranded on the edge of the boat.

Lu Heyang picked up a child and handed it to the woman in the lifeboat. She was so grateful that she was almost in tears.While helping, he turned his head and saw Fu Xun was helping an old man up, when a man sitting on the lifeboat kicked his arm with a leather shoe.

"It's full." He said impatiently, "Hurry up."

After Fu Xun supported the old man to sit firmly, he let go of his hand, allowing the old man to leave dirty shoe prints on his arm.

"Things that didn't grow." Fu Xun said.

The man's face became paler under the searchlight, and his lips trembled: "What did you say?"

Fu Xun smiled: "Am I wrong, come up if you have the guts."

The man pursed his lips, sat back down again, waved his arms to make him descend quickly, and untied the rope.

Lu Heyang came over and wiped his arms with his sleeves, and pulled him back: "The old people and children are almost in the lifeboats."

Fu Xun pursed his lower lip, where the rain gathered and dripped, and then he said again: "There are not many boats."

Almost all the lifeboats on this side had been launched, and Fu Xun led him to the other side.Because of the angle of inclination, it is very laborious and time-consuming to walk there, and when you go around to the opposite side, there are not many people stranded.

"Miss Xu?" Lu Heyang was stunned, seeing that Xu Lingyu had taken off her high heels at some point, was barefoot on the side of the boat, picked up the teddy bear left on the ground, trotted to the side of the boat, lifted it up and threw it into the boat. In the suspended lifeboat, a little girl stretched out her arms, joyfully catching her firmly.

Xu Lingyu's face was covered with rain, and her curly hair was sticking wet behind her ears. She stood in the corridor and waved vigorously at the girl. Her smile was like a cloud breaking through the sunrise, without a trace of haze.

"Why don't you leave?" Fu Xun frowned and strode over.

Seeing that the two who came over were very close together, almost arm in arm, Xu Lingyu guessed that they probably got off the ground, so she didn't ask any more questions, just smiled: "Didn't you leave too?"

Before Fu Xun could speak, Xu Lingyu immediately said, "You know me, don't say that you are a man and I am a woman."

She considers herself young and healthy, and doesn't think she should be humbled by men just because she is a woman.

Hearing the sound of people here, the crew in the distance immediately stopped operating the davit arm, looked over from a distance, waved their arms and shouted: "The last lifeboat is here, come quickly."

The back half of the deck was already half submerged in the water, and there was not much time left, so the three of them walked over quickly.

"Aren't you going?" Xu Lingyu asked the crew member. He looked very young, younger than all of them. The outline of his face was still smooth, without any sharp edges and corners.

He handed Xu Lingyu a life jacket, and answered with a smile, with a dimple on his right lip: "We can only abandon the ship after clearing out the passengers. This is our responsibility. Besides, we are all good swimmers, so nothing will happen."

The lifeboat has just been lowered halfway, and the current height difference is larger than normal.The two men took Xu Lingyu onto the boat first, and the crew counted the number of people and said that there was room for another person.

Fu Xun and Lu Heyang said almost at the same time: "You go first."

After speaking, both of them laughed again, a little bit bitterly.Fu Xun stroked back the wet black hair on Lu Heyang's forehead, stroked the rainwater from his forehead with his fingertips, and suddenly smiled a little: "Am I your disaster?"

Lu Heyang felt that his eyelids were twitching violently, he closed his eyes forcefully, and shook his head again: "We two, it's hard to say who will hurt the other."

It's hard to say.

how to say.

They are two companion vines, his pain caused his pain, his injury caused his injury.

Lu Heyang knew Fu Xun's temperament and stubbornness, so he deliberately provoked him, and said: "Fu Xun, my lover must get on this lifeboat, will you be my lover?"

This is his first confession.Although the scene was rushed, unprepared, and fearless to the point of recklessness, it was not a joke.In other words, he has been preparing for ten years, the word "lover", he only wants to give Fu Xun a person.

He looked at each other expectantly, his eyes burning like a fire.

Fu Xun's expression was moved, and he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, wiping away whether it was rain or tears, and then rubbed his lips, rubbing them repeatedly, like kissing.

"If you want to trade your safety..." Fu Xun paused, then lowered his voice and moved closer to the other party's ear. While opening and closing his lips, Lu Heyang leaned over to listen carefully, focusing all his attention on this sentence.At the moment when his eyes were wide open and he was defenseless, Fu Xun tightly tied his wrist with one hand, and pushed him onto the lifeboat, who was too late to react.

His elbow hit heavily on the edge of the lifeboat's engine, and the suspended lifeboat shook violently. Xu Lingyu immediately helped him stabilize.

The height difference between the lifeboat and the cruise ship made it impossible for Lu Heyang to climb back once he fell. Regardless of the severe pain in his arm, he immediately stood up and slapped the hull of the cruise ship fiercely, his eyes were blurred with tears and he was almost blind: "Fu Xun, you bastard! !"

"Fu Xun!!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was still too small. He hated the noise of the rain, hated the boundless ocean, and ruthlessly devoured his voice. Can Fu Xun hear him?

Can you hear him calling his name?

Fu Xun threw the last glance down, and immediately took two steps back, completely out of Lu Heyang's sight, like a clean cutting operation, before suturing, both of them were bleeding.Immediately afterwards, his unwavering voice came steadily from above: "Let's go."

The rope began to fall, broke after reaching the designated height, and the lifeboat fell into the water with a plop.

Someone started paddling and slowly sailed away from the legendary "Oasis of the Sea".It is completely different from the precarious one seen standing on it. It sinks slowly in the rain with a bulky posture, like a lost empire.

Lu Heyang wiped his painful eye sockets, and in the slanting rain and strong wind, he spread his palms that were hurt by the metal.

Under the scorching daytime searchlight, he saw lying quietly in his palm, a platinum ring carved into the shape of twining vines that Fu Xun had just stuffed in.

It was the engagement ring he wore on his left middle finger.

At this moment, he could clearly see the inside of the ring, engraved with three letters - "LHY".

And just now on the boat, the last words he said to him were:

"If you want to trade your safety."

"Then I can stop here and be your brother forever."
