You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 296
Chapter 296 Out From The Sea
“Huh?” Bai Rong was momentarily stunned by his words and was unable to react readily.
“I said, I have regained all the memories I’ve lost,” Gu Mingchen repeated more clearly as he observed
the woman’s expression. “I know that you didn’t reveal my identity to those people. What happened
was that I met an old enemy during my mission and he recognized me.”
Bai Rong stared nkly at Gu Mingchen as a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind.

She was both touched and hopeful, feeling that all her grievances had finallye to an end. However,
at the same time, she also felt a sense of emptiness and gloominess.
That was what Bai Rong had been wishing for all along. She desperately wanted him to get his
memories back and remember everything they had gone through together in the past, be it their sweet
or sad moments, as well as those times when they worked hard together towards amon goal.
But what’s going to happen from now on?
Bai Rong turned around and faced her back towards the man while looking into the distance.
Just then, a gust of wind blew past her, making the woman shiver from the cold.
Gu Mingchen hugged her from behind and Bai Rong felt the warmth from his body instantly.
Her back stiffened at his touch, as if she was still on her guard.
“Rong, do you know how long this ship has traveled?” Gu Mingchen asked gently.
“What do you mean?” Bai Rong stared at the man in confusion and her heart fluttered when she met
her gaze.
“I only found you after steering the ship for six hours. We are now in the middle of the ocean,” Gu
Mingchen exined.
Bai Rong had already guessed that. If they were close to shore, Lu Xingzhou wouldn’t risk bombing
them as the explosion would be too loud. It was only possible for him to attempt that in the middle of
the ocean as no one would discover what he had done.
“Lu Xingzhou is indeed ruthless. But it seems like he has underestimated your will to live and ability to
survive,” Bai Rong said with a bitter smile.
Gu Mingchen held her chin and lowered his head.
When he did that, Bai Rong instinctively took a step back.
Pain shed across Gu Mingchen’s eyes as he said, “If we are unable to go back and are destined to
die here, are you still not willing to open your heart to me?”
“I’m sure we will be able to return with your abilities. Your superior would certainly send a search and
rescue team after noticing your disappearance for a few days right?” Bai Rong said uncertainly.
“When I knew that you were in trouble, I came out in a rush and Chen Bin sent my subordinates
elsewhere. So even if they tried to find us, they wouldn’t know that we are in the middle of the ocean.
Do you think it’s possible for them toe here?” Gu Mingchen threw the question back to the woman.
Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat as she tried to observe his expression to see if he was joking. But she
could tell that he was serious.
“Are we really going to die here?” Bai Rong asked.
Gu Mingchen overlooked her and replied, “Maybe, maybe not. But I know that I don’t want to die with
regrets. Rong, you still love me, don’t you?”
The woman did not want to continue resisting and denying her love for him anymore. It was too
exhausting to push him away time and time again.
No one knew what would happen the next day. They could either die or be rescued. But at least, Bai
Rong knew that she wanted to retain the inner peace which she was feeling at that moment.
“Is there any reason for me to not like you? You chopped off your pinkie finger to protest against
marrying Su Wanning. And in order not to marry Zhou Han, you even lost the money for the house,”
Bai Rong said as tears welled up in her eyes. Even though it sounded as if she was chastising Gu
Mingchen, she was, in fact, very moved.
Seeing that the woman did not give him a negative reply, Gu Mingchen smiled and lowered his head.
Then, he kissed her, deepening the kiss with each breath they took. Their bodies molded together and
they did not separate for a long time.
When the sun started to rise, Bai Rong leaned into his arms and gazed at the sky.
The sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky as it gradually rose above the horizon.
“What a beautiful sunrise,” Bai Rong eximed and Gu Mingchen chuckled.
“Why did youugh?” Bai Rong looked up at him.
The man nted a kiss on her forehead and said, “The sun looks beautiful now because it’s still a
distance away from us. However, it’s actually quite dangerous to be exposed to the sun while we’re out
at sea as it’s easier to get sunburned,” Gu Mingchen exined.
“I see,” Bai Rong replied. It was her first time drifting at sea. She had previously watched reality
television programs showing how participants try to survive while adrift at sea, but she had forgotten
the details.
Just then, Gu Mingchen pulled out an umbre from underneath their makeshift raft and opened it.
“You even have this?” Bai Rong was impressed.
“I guess the owner of the ship ced it at the bow of the ship to provide some shade while he rested. I
took it as I figured it might be useful to us. Let’s travel in the direction of the wind,” Gu Mingchen
proceeded to fix the umbre on the raft with Bai Rong’s help.
After they did that, the man cast the into the ocean and pulled it up again. As he did that, they saw
that around a dozen of fishes were trapped in the. Those were small fishes that were just around
the size of a thumb.
“I can’t believe there are even fishes here!” Bai Rong was pleasantly surprised.
Gu Mingchen smiled and said, “I’ll make some distilled water using the empty stic bottlester. Even
if we have to stay here for more than ten days, we’ll probably still manage to survive.”
“More than ten days?” Bai Rong appeared to be deep in thought.
“What are you thinking about?” Gu Mingchen touched her nose lightly and asked.
Even the next day seemed like a lifetime away to the woman.
She did not want to think about anything else. Even if she had only ten more days to live, she wanted
to spend the remaining days happily with the man she loved.
“How should we eat these fishes? Are we supposed to eat them raw?” Bai Rong asked.
Gu Mingchen pulled out a huge from underneath and took out two pots, a knife, as well as a
chopping board.
“These even?” That came as another surprise for the woman.
“These are the only two pots in working condition. It would be ideal if we had more,” Gu Mingchen
exined.
Bai Rong smiled. “Why do I feel as if we’re going to spend the rest of our lives here?”
“Well, it’s actually workable. You’re a gynecologist anyway, so you can deliver our babies yourself.
However, if we want to have more than two children, this raft might be too small for our family,” the man
joked.
Bai Rong let out a slight smile in response as she knew that Gu Mingchen was just joking.
The current weather was lovely with a slight sea breeze. However, if a storm happened, they would be
lucky enough to even survive.
When Gu Mingchen started cleaning the fish, Bai Rong took over the knife and said, “Let me do it. I’m
pretty good at this. You should catch more fish and we can put them together in the pot. It’s good to
store more supplies in times of need.”
The woman finished cleaning all the fishes in no time while the man tried his best to catch as many
fishes as he could. After three hours, they already had an entire pot full of fish.
Even though Bai Rong had cleaned the fishes, there was still a pungent fishy stench which made it
unappetizing.
Gu Mingchen took a nce at her and joked, “My bad. I should have taken some ginger, seasoning,
cooking wine, soy sauce and mustard as well.”
Bai Rong was tickled by that andughed. “Maybe it’s because our conditions are still pretty good. Or
perhaps, I’m not hungry enough. When I’m famished, not to mention raw fish, I’ll even devour the pot.”
“I’ve got an idea.” Gu Mingchen emptied the pot of fish onto a stic bag and ced the pot directly
under the sun. He looked at the sky and analyzed, “Judging by the weather now, the metal pot should
be able to reach about 60 degrees Celsius in an hour’s time. By then, we’ll be able to start grilling these
fishes.”
While waiting, Bai Rongy under the umbre, enjoying the sea breeze while the raft swayed along
with the rhythm of the waves. At that instant, it seemed like she could stay that way forever with Gu
Mingchen by her side.
