Chapter 1160 — Full of Love

He had taken only two steps when something happened that left him utterly stunned! Above the calm sea, a shark fin suddenly broke the surface and came slicing swiftly toward them!

"Ga?" An Jianwen's eyes went wide. He had never imagined that a shark would actually show up!

Su Taizao, meanwhile, clearly had no idea that danger was closing in. He was still standing in the sea with a silly grin, dripping blood from his fingertip into the water, and with his head bowed, he never saw the shark swimming toward him!

An Jianwen's expression froze on the spot. For a moment he was caught between advance and retreat, unable to decide whether he should run away or press forward!

To run meant safety, of course, but he would lose all face in front of Gu Mengyao, and this time the humiliation would be complete! Yet he did not dare go forward either. How could he ever be a match for a shark? To go forward was plainly to throw his life away!

At this thought, sweat poured down An Jianwen's forehead like rain, and he found it impossible to decide!

"Go, Jianwen-gege! Go, go, Jianwen-gege!" Shen Yushu was the first to cheer. "Go, go! Yaoyao-jie loves best of all to watch a hero fight a shark!"

An Jianwen's expression now looked worse than crying. He was no fool. Going to fight a shark, was that not asking for death?

At that moment, hearing Shen Yushu's shouting, Su Taizao started in surprise and finally looked up. When he saw the shark racing toward him at tremendous speed, he jumped in fright, dared not drip another drop of blood into the sea, and took to his heels!

Seeing Su Taizao run, An Jianwen's last line of mental defense collapsed on the spot. He spun around in a hurry and fled toward the shore right behind Su Taizao!

"Jianwen-gege, why are you not going to fight the shark?" Shen Yushu eyed the fleeing An Jianwen with odd amusement.

"Well... I suddenly feel rather sorry for the shark. Look how small it is. It must be a baby shark. It has only just come into this world. It would be too pitiful if I beat it to death!" A quick idea struck An Jianwen. "So I have decided to let it off!"

"Is that so!" Shen Yushu nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course it is. I am a man full of love!" Seeing that Shen Yushu seemed to believe him, An Jianwen hastily nodded and said so.

"Oh, all right. But, Jianwen-gege, a big shark is coming over there. I will leave it to you!" Shen Yushu suddenly pointed toward the sea and said to An Jianwen.

"Ga?" An Jianwen looked in the direction Shen Yushu was pointing and nearly jumped out of his skin in shock! Another shark, even bigger than the last one, was also speeding toward them. Judging by the size of its fin, it was several times larger than the previous shark!

An Jianwen was dumbfounded. He felt like slapping himself hard across the face! What was wrong with his wretched mouth, that it should prove so prophetic? He had only spoken carelessly a moment ago, and now an even bigger shark had come! He truly had no idea what to do!

"Jianwen-gege, what is wrong? This shark cannot be a baby shark too, can it? Could it be a baby shark with obesity? Old before its time?" Shen Yushu asked with a giggle.

"Ah... of course not!" Those were the very words An Jianwen had meant to say himself, but since Shen Yushu had already said them, repeating them would sound bad, so he could only force two dry laughs and say, "In my view, this shark must be connected to that little shark. They are family. This is the mother shark. Afraid the little shark would be killed by me if it came alone, the old shark came to escort it! If I killed the old shark, the little shark would be left without a mother. How pitiful that would be, so I have decided to spare them. Yaoyao-meimei, do not blame me. It is not that I refuse to fight for shark meat for you. It is simply that I am too full of love!"

An Jianwen's words were full of holes. Even Gu Mengyao could hardly hold back a laugh. Unlike Shen Yushu, however, she would not expose An Jianwen to his face. She only despised him inwardly. Could such a man deserve the word brave?

At last, after circling the nearby waters without finding any prey, the two sharks swam away one after the other with nothing to show for it.

An Jianwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, though his face was still rather awkward. He had no idea whether Gu Mengyao had believed a word he said, but from her expression he could detect nothing at all. Gu Mengyao remained as calm and expressionless as ever.

Just when An Jianwen had no idea what to do next, his rescuer arrived, and it was none other than Yang Ganglou! At that moment Yang Ganglou drove a Toyota SUV onto the beach, and after parking, he ran over to An Jianwen carrying the large abalone and shark meat he had just bought from the supermarket!

"An-ge, everything is bought just as you ordered. The abalone is top-grade Hokkaido single-head abalone, extremely precious, and the shark meat is perfectly fresh!" As he spoke, Yang Ganglou handed the two big bags to An Jianwen.

An Jianwen was overjoyed at the sight. This was perfect. With the seafood here, he would not have to dive into the sea to gather it himself, nor would he have to fight a shark like a hero!

"Ganglou, well done!" An Jianwen took the bags of seafood with a beaming smile.

But the bags had not been in An Jianwen's hands for even a second before Shen Yushu snatched them away.

"Jianwen-gege, you are a man with a loving heart. These abalones are all alive, so surely you cannot bear to eat them? And as for this shark meat, since you could not even bear to kill a shark, you certainly would not eat its flesh. So to keep you from becoming a man without love, leave all of this to us. You be the good guy, and let me play the villain!" Shen Yushu declared with perfect confidence, leaving An Jianwen with no possible rebuttal!

If he argued back, all his earlier talk about love would be exposed as sheer nonsense, so An Jianwen could only swallow his broken teeth along with his pride! This was delicious seafood, and he had meant to taste it himself, yet he never expected that his own fine words would cost him his share!

Yet the more it hurt, the less An Jianwen could say. He had to pretend not to care and said calmly, "Of course I will not eat any. Who told me to be a man with such a loving heart? Then it is all yours!"

An Jianwen's heart was bleeding. Damn it, if he had known it would come to this, why had he bragged at all? Was he not just asking for trouble? Forget it. He would go back and eat the leftover lamb skewers from yesterday. There were plenty left, more than enough!

Watching Shen Yushu, Gu Mengyao and Tang Yun could hardly suppress their laughter. For An Jianwen to run into Shen Yushu was rotten luck indeed!
