Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 469 - 482: Officially Entering the Water

Under the silver-white moonlight flowing like water, the two stood in silent confrontation.

After a long time, Lu Shifeng instructed the person beside him, "Bring me my diving suit."

Su Xingyu’s eyes widened slightly, even Zhuang Heng blurted out in surprise, "Shifeng, are you going underwater?!"

Lu Shifeng ignored Zhuang Heng and simply looked at Su Xingyu, "If you go, I’ll go too."

This time, it was Su Xingyu’s turn to frown, "Lu Shifeng, I’m going underwater because I can’t find a photographer better than myself. There’s no real need for you to go. I believe the diver you hired is very professional, and in this kind of environment, protecting my safety is more than enough." Generally, diving is done in pairs to take care of each other.

But Lu Shifeng said, "The diver will go down with us, we’ll form a group of three."

"Lu Shifeng..."

"Xingyu, this is my bottom line." He wouldn’t budge.

How could he bear to let her be in unseen danger? Four years ago, he had already lost her once. Just thinking about what might happen to her when he’s not around made him unbearably anxious.

Actually, his diving skills weren’t that good; he had been raised as the heir of the Blade Group since he was young and hadn’t spent much time on unnecessary skills. So he still let the diver go with her for support, but he had to go down himself too, to ensure she was within his line of sight.

Su Xingyu skeptically asked him, "You can dive?"

Lu Shifeng said, "I’ve known how since I was young."

Su Xingyu didn’t question further, instinctively thinking that someone as wealthy as him, frequently vacationing on islands, wouldn’t find learning to dive surprising. She glanced at the shimmering lake surface, the moonlight tonight was beautiful, with a soft, intoxicating glow, making the water seem gentler. She had already inquired beforehand; the diving difficulty in this lake wasn’t high, even beginners could manage, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

So she nodded, "Okay, then let’s dive together."

She walked to the car parked by the lakeside, took off her coat, and changed into her diving suit.

Unlike Zhuang Heng, who was donned in a beautifully stunning silver-white suit, her diving suit was an ordinary black, with a matte texture, not eye-catching at all.

Upon emerging, Lu Shifeng frowned slightly at her, "Why did you choose this color?" It wasn’t that he thought her diving suit was ugly, but black was too inconspicuous in the water. If anything happened, it wouldn’t be as easy to find as silver-white. If he could, he’d rather paint her entirely in that vivid orange-yellow of a traffic officer, not caring about appearance.

She looked down at her attire, all quality materials, lightweight and fitting well.

She said, "This color is best for underwater photography, as it doesn’t reflect light and avoids environmental light interference, capturing the original scene of the sunken ship most faithfully."

The nearby staff, initially thinking her outfit was not as beautiful as Zhuang Heng’s, couldn’t help but nod in admiration after hearing her explanation. Truly a photographer, placing appearance secondary, with an endless pursuit of photography, not missing even the tiniest details.

But these words from Su Xingyu seemed a slap in the face to Zhuang Heng.

Zhuang Heng coldly said to her, "Su Xingyu, don’t be ridiculous. A little reflection from the suit doesn’t matter here; it’s too dark to notice. Don’t wear it just to show off as if you’re so professional, while actually putting your safety at risk. If something happens, they won’t be able to find you underwater, making Shifeng worry for nothing!"

Su Xingyu, displeased, turned her face, retorting, "Zhuang Heng, are you joking? You say a light-colored diving suit doesn’t reflect underwater, yet say it’s easier to find in trouble. How can a non-reflective diving suit be easier to find? Don’t you see the contradiction?"

"Haha," some staff couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Su Xingyu was right; if a light-colored diving suit didn’t reflect, it would be just as hard to find underwater like a dark one;

But if it did reflect, yes, safety would increase, making it easier to find, yet that reflection would affect the photo’s image.

It’s impossible to both not affect image quality and be easily found; that’s unscientific.

Quite a few people now looked at Zhuang Heng with more disdain. This woman, wearing a light-colored suit out of fear was one thing, but using words to provoke Su Xingyu, she really wanted all advantages?

Zhuang Heng noticed the unfriendly gazes and couldn’t help defending herself, "The slight reflective light of a silver-white suit doesn’t affect the photos from a distance!"

"Really?" Su Xingyu wasn’t polite, "Want to pull out your photos again? I can point out at least two spots where your suit affected the lighting!"

Zhuang Heng’s heart quivered in disbelief; could her suit really affect the photo quality? Such subtle reflections, how could it be?

She suspected Su Xingyu was lying, but didn’t dare actually pull out the photos for Su Xingyu’s critique. What if she was right? It would be humiliating!

Contemplating countless thoughts, Su Xingyu simply laughed coldly, reluctant to entangle further, turning to Lu Shifeng, "Well then, shall we dive?"

Lu Shifeng nodded, carefully accompanying her into the water.

Watching Lu Shifeng, Su Xingyu, and the professional diving instructor enter the water together, Zhuang Heng felt a sour bitterness. Clearly, the weight of each person in that man’s heart was evident by whom he accompanied into the water! Zhuang Heng’s eyes burned with unshed tears.

Underwater.

Su Xingyu felt her body slowly sinking, carefully maneuvered, following the diving instructor towards the sunken ship, with Lu Shifeng trailing behind, shielding her between the two men.

It was quiet beneath the water, as if all worldly sounds had faded away, with the hazy moonlight streaming from above, refracted by the lake into sparkling, ethereal shadows, both strange and mysterious, unlike anything witnessed on land. The night was deep, the water visibility low; she forced herself to focus, concentrating all her attention on the instructor ahead, following his silhouette.

After what felt like ages of underwater exploration, they reached the sunken ship.

The ancient hull of the ship loomed in shadows like a water monster’s silhouette, majestic from afar.

She swam around the ship, confirming the light’s angles, then gracefully landed on the deck, diving into the cabin along the deck.

The cabin was small, the floor covered with a thick layer of dust.
