King of the Wilderness

Mike and Riven both let out a long sigh of relief, looking at Lin Yu’an with eyes full of gratitude, completely forgetting that this trainee was simultaneously livestreaming!

The seemingly troublesome livestreaming equipment had unexpectedly become the most powerful weapon in capturing the criminals at this moment!

The barrage in the livestream changed from initial panic and anger to anticipation for justice and admiration for the protagonist.

[As long as no one is hurt! Those bastards are doomed! We must apprehend them!]

[Anzi didn’t just save the ship, he also preserved the evidence! Which level is this operation? It’s in the stratosphere!]

[Support the Coast Guard! Severely punish these scum of the sea!]

After the call ended, the atmosphere on the ship eased slightly.

Mike began carefully inspecting the damage to the ship, still muttering curses under his breath. Riven quickly walked up to Lin Yu’an.

The waves were still rolling, a strand of damp hair stuck to Riven’s face, and her T-shirt and shorts were soaked, outlining her athletic figure. But she couldn’t care less about that now.

Her clear blue eyes stared intently at Lin Yu’an, filled with complex emotions.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I’m fine." Lin Yu’an shook his head.

He tried to move his body, which was a bit stiff from the extreme exertion earlier, but a sharp pain in his palm and base of his thumb made him frown slightly.

"Don’t move!" Riven’s sharp eyes immediately caught this detail.

She stepped forward and firmly grabbed Lin Yu’an’s right wrist, "Let me see!"

Lin Yu’an’s hand opened up in front of her, a large hand with distinct, powerful joints.

But at this moment, the palm and base of the thumb were rubbed raw and red from the friction against the coarse rope and sail boom due to the tremendous force.

Several deep indentations were embedded in his skin, and the most severe areas had already broken skin with spots of blood oozing out, looking shocking.

"Tss——" Even with Lin Yu’an’s strong willpower, he couldn’t help but suck in a breath when Riven’s cool fingers gently touched the edge of his wound.

"You call this okay?" Riven’s voice suddenly rose an octave, "If the rope had slipped a bit more, your bones would have been ground through! You reckless man!"

Riven’s expression suddenly turned extremely tense, her professionalism as a coach making her immediately inspect the injury.

Cautiously, with extremely gentle movements, she had Lin Yu’an attempt to move each finger joint.

"Does it hurt here? Can you bend it here? How about here?"

"The bones are fine," Lin Yu’an replied calmly, feeling her gentle touch on his fingers, "It’s just a surface wound."

After confirming that he hadn’t hurt his bones or joints, Riven finally relaxed her tense nerves.

She looked up at Lin Yu’an’s slightly furrowed brows due to pain, and those eyes which remained calm as still water even under such circumstances, and she could no longer suppress her feelings of fear and gratitude.

The next second, she took a step forward and fiercely embraced Lin Yu’an!

It was a passionate, American-style hug, without any shyness or pretense, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and the most sincere gratitude.

Lin Yu’an could clearly feel her softness, the chill and tenderness of her skin, and that heart beating rapidly within her chest.

A faint scent mingled with sea water and shampoo lingered at the tip of his nose.

He hesitantly raised his arm, and after a moment of hesitation, gently patted her back in reassurance.

The hug only lasted a few seconds before Riven quickly released him, looking into Lin Yu’an’s eyes and sincerely saying, "Lin...thank you for saving us all."

Having said that, she didn’t dwell on the emotions any longer, but immediately turned to the cabin to fetch the first-aid kit.

"Sit down! Put your hand out!" she commanded with an indisputable tone.

Taking out antiseptic wipes, she carefully cleaned Lin Yu’an’s wound, her focused and gentle movements contrasting sharply with her usual straightforward character.

Then, she took out gauze and bandages and skillfully wrapped them around his wound.

During the bandaging process, her fingers occasionally brushed against Lin Yu’an’s palm. Each slight touch made the atmosphere somewhat subtle.

[Aaaaaah! Did they hug? Yes, they did!]

[Can I even watch this?! So sweet! A post-crisis hug + wound healing!]

[Whew, Riven was really scared, and she really cares! She’s so gentle with the bandaging!]

[Anzi: I just did what I had to do. Bunch of pervs: Not only are you embraced by a bikini babe, but she’s also gently bandaging your wound! Give us some reaction!]

Captain Mike, observing this scene from a distance, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

He silently turned around, continuing to inspect his ship as if wanting to give the two young people some space. Yet, the corner of his mouth that was curved upwards betrayed his complex emotions.

Meanwhile, Riven stared blankly at Lin Yu’an’s bandaged hand.

In the most dangerous moment earlier, this man, like her father, chose to step forward and then, in an almost impossible manner, regained control of the situation.

His rolling figure, his silhouette battling the out-of-control sail boom with his body, and that warm and solid chest just now etched into her mind like branding marks.
