Chapter 2318 - 2319: Believe in Love’s Miracles 13

"It’s an explosion!" Sheng Sheng said, "The explosion damaged the freezing system, causing the ice to melt. And because of the impact of the explosion, the temperature is too high, which is why the water is so hot."

As Sheng Sheng explained, he pondered over how an explosion could instantly melt all the ice, heating it up to fifty or sixty degrees—illustrating the power of the explosion, how immense it must have been.

Sheng Sheng speculated about what might have happened, "It should be someone rescuing us, and a gunfight broke out. Maimai, stay strong, we weren’t frozen to death, and we definitely won’t be boiled to death. There’s always hope."

"But don’t you realize this water is getting hotter and deeper?" Maimai took deep breaths, "I feel it’s hard to breathe, Sheng Sheng. Do you think Dad really came to save us?"

"I hope so!"

He hoped they could all leave here alive.

"Maimai, if we leave here alive, let’s get married." Sheng Sheng held her hand and touched her ring finger, suddenly startled, "Where’s the engagement ring I gave you?"

"I gave it to Dad," Maimai struggled to stay afloat, "Dad said if I wore it, I might lose it. Luckily, Dad foresaw this. Later, when I got in the car, everything on me was taken away. Those bastards, if I don’t die, I’ll skin them alive!"

Sheng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Maimai, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

"If we leave here alive, let’s get married."

"We were going to get married anyway," Maimai said.

Sheng Sheng replied, "That’s not what I meant. I don’t want an engagement anymore, let’s just get married. I want us to be legally wed; I want you as my wife, not my fiancée. I can’t wait, Maimai, let’s have a wedding right away."

Maimai blinked, with a sense of grand curiosity during this life-threatening moment, "We’ll skip the engagement and get married directly. I also want to be your wife immediately, so I can call you husband. What an amazing title."

Sheng Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, "Say it again."

"What?" Maimai couldn’t keep up with Sheng Sheng’s thoughts.

"Say it again, those two words."

"Which two words?"

"Wife, say it again. What do you want to call me?" Sheng Sheng hugged her tightly, their bodies reddened by the hot water, "I want to hear you call me those two words."

Maimai pressed her lips together, pausing for a full ten seconds, almost driving Sheng Sheng mad with impatience.

"Husband."

The crisp sound of these two words emerged from her lips with a tender sweetness. Sheng Sheng, like a little boy who had received candy, hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately.

Those two words gave him infinite strength, making him feel as if he’d soared from hell to heaven.

Husband, how extraordinary these two words! So melodious, so intriguing!

The one he embraced was his wife, a girl who would call him husband;

The one he embraced was his treasured one, a girl who would rather freeze to death but give him her clothes;
