The First Kiss is a Little Salty

"Don't come any closer!" Emma yelled at Kerry.

"I won't come over, you come here!" Kerry certainly wasn't going to go over, he didn't know how to sail a boat anyway.

Kerry quietly waited for Emma to sail the boat back. Emma, of course, didn't want to sail the boat back after several hours of paddling to escape.

Emma had successfully gotten more than 10 meters offshore. She felt she was about to get the hang of controlling the sail, and with one last Sandstorm Technique, she could escape safely and soundly.

Over the past few hours, Emma's magic had been nearly depleted. She probably only had enough for one more Sandstorm Technique. Her abundant magic had been wasted on moving the small boat left and right, which was a terrible sight.

"Sandstorm Technique!" After a practiced incantation, Emma controlled the sail outwards. A strong gust of wind filled the sail, and the boat suddenly accelerated, hitting a crashing wave.

Kerry was dumbfounded. Didn't I tell you to bring the boat over? Why are you running away? More importantly, why are you directly charging into such a big wave?

The small boat capsized. Emma's last bit of magic was used up. Just as she was feeling dizzy, the boat capsized. Kerry saw Emma's back hit the sea surface hard. It must have hurt terribly. Kerry couldn't help but shrink his neck.

The capsizing of the boat didn't actually have much of an impact. It was a small boat, and the people weren't pinned down by it. However, after falling into the water, Emma showed no signs of surfacing. Kerry waited for about ten to twenty seconds before suddenly feeling like crying.

Please, don't let this birthday celebration turn into a funeral! She's clearly drowning! Without further hesitation, Kerry dove into the sea and swam quickly towards where Emma had fallen.

Fortunately, the Gene Enhancement Fluid was potent. Kerry, who previously could only guarantee he wouldn't drown, now saw his swimming skills improve by leaps and bounds. His physical indicators and coordination had grown significantly. He felt like a world-class swimmer from his past life.

He quickly reached the spot where the boat had capsized.

At this moment, Emma was close to shock. The impact with the sea surface had made Emma, whose magic was depleted, see black. Afterward, she felt herself sinking continuously.

Am I going to die? It's fine. I lived as a young lady for over a decade, and I've only been fleeing for half a year. I've earned enough in this life. If only I could live a little longer in the next life.

Emma's consciousness was already blurry. Many past events began to replay rapidly like a slideshow. Her thoughts drifted to the past, dreaming of a prince charming marrying her, and living happily ever after in a fairy tale life.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her arm. It vaguely resembled her prince charming. The person was indeed very fair. Then, she felt a rapid ascent. Ascending to where? Perhaps heaven.

Emma knew nothing more. At this moment, she had completely fainted.

"Hey, Emma, are you okay? Answer me, quickly answer me!" Kerry pulled the unconscious Emma ashore, but no matter how much he patted her, she wouldn't wake up. Kerry was almost crying. This was really going to turn into a funeral.

Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? She is quite cute, and will be a beauty when she grows up. But if Gandalf finds out, will he kill me?

Never mind. If Gandalf finds out Emma died in front of me... Kerry couldn't help but imagine the entire South Australia Island being razed to the ground.

What's the procedure for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? Chest compressions first, then blowing into her mouth?

In my past life, the small supermarket had free training for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but I can't quite remember it now.

But now is not the time to worry about the order or hesitate. Kerry performed chest compressions, then opened Emma's small mouth and blew forcefully.

Surprisingly, after Kerry's intervention, Emma's eyes suddenly opened wide.

Emma felt suffocated and suddenly had the urge to vomit. Then she opened her eyes and saw Kerry's mouth on hers. Before she could even feel sad about losing her first kiss, she suddenly coughed up a large amount of seawater.

Seeing Emma spit out seawater, Kerry's heart finally settled. She was saved. He licked his lips. Amidst the salty taste of seawater, there seemed to be a hint of sweetness.

Emma's feelings were complicated. Combining the scenes after falling into the water with seeing herself now on the shore, she realized Kerry had saved her. But the person who saved her was the one who wanted to capture her.

For a moment, she looked at Kerry, unsure what to say. Her eyes were complex, as if asking, Why did you save me?

"I saved you!" Kerry suddenly said, nodding as he looked at Emma.

How does he know what I'm thinking? Emma found it magical. She hadn't asked yet, and he had already answered. Does he have mind-reading abilities?

Kerry naturally had to save Emma. Although he didn't know exactly what her gaze meant, he should explain since she saw him perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He didn't want her to think he took advantage of her.

Emma didn't know how to interact with Kerry at this moment. Kerry was awkward about being seen performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on her and didn't know what to say next.

Kerry thought the situation was extremely awkward, while Emma thought it was extremely ambiguous.

"Let me see what we have here? Two lovebirds committing suicide together?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted the strange atmosphere between Kerry and Emma. Kerry saw Gandalf descending from the sky and felt a slight relief, while Emma breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The two of them sighed in relief simultaneously, looking at each other with surprise and amusement. In any case, everyone felt things weren't so bad anymore.

Seeing the two of them sighing in unison with such perfect coordination, Gandalf smiled knowingly. It seemed their relationship was very good.

Gandalf, who was flying towards the castle in the sky at a distance, saw Kerry kissing Emma and then Emma spitting water, realizing it was mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Now, observing them up close, he saw the two children appearing to have a very good relationship (their previous atmosphere had been quite complex). He naturally assumed it was a romantic suicide pact and thus teased Kerry and Emma.

"Teacher, where were you?" Seeing Gandalf arrive, Emma felt she had a backbone. Even if they had to fall out now, Gandalf could ensure her safe escape.

"You're back! Why so late? The party is about to start." Kerry, on the other hand, was curious. Gandalf could have finished his task in half a day; why did he take so long to return?

"Party?!" Emma was confused upon hearing Kerry mention the party to Gandalf. She couldn't figure out the situation of Kerry and Gandalf organizing a party.

"I went to Little Nose Bay Port City to get your birthday gift. Unfortunately, there was a flaw when I inspected it, so I had them fix it. It caused a lot of delay," Gandalf answered Emma's question and also explained to Kerry the reason for the delay.

"What? Birthday gift! ...Party!" Emma was both surprised and curious.

Combining Gandalf's and Kerry's conversations, and Gandalf's absence all day, Emma finally realized she had misunderstood everyone.

It turned out everyone had been acting strangely all day because they were planning her birthday.

Now that she thought about it, everyone had been looking at her with hidden smiles, as if planning to give her a big surprise...
