The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?

Arriving at the diving site, Chu Mei began preparing to enter the water.

The crew quickly moved around the boat, checking oxygen tanks and equipment while waves gently rocked the vessel.

Seeing his chance to finally show off, Chu Fang immediately ran over to Chu Mei with a serious expression.

”Big sister, remember,” he began confidently, ”great white sharks usually won’t attack unless they think you’re prey. If one swims near you, stay calm and don’t thrash around.”

He folded his arms proudly before continuing.

”Also, did you know great whites are actually really curious animals? Sometimes they bump or ’boop’ things with their noses first because they’re trying to figure out what you are. Their noses have special sensors that can detect movement and even electricity in the water!”

The moment everyone on the boat heard that explanation, they were stunned.

”For his age, that’s incredible...”

”Little Fang knows all that?”

”He sounds like an actual marine biologist...”

Several crew members looked genuinely impressed.

Unfortunately...

Chu Mei didn’t hear a single word.

Because she was currently wearing vented diving earplugs and could only vaguely hear muffled sounds.

So from her perspective, Chu Fang was just passionately moving his mouth while looking extremely serious.

Still, she smiled and nodded anyway.

”Mhm! Mhm!”

Seeing this scene, Shen Tian nearly lost control of his expression.

He already noticed the earplugs earlier, meaning he fully understood that Chu Mei had absolutely no idea what Chu Fang was saying.

Watching Chu Fang stand there proudly after giving a whole educational speech to someone who heard none of it...

Shen Tian almost burst out laughing.

Chu Fang confidently believed he had successfully impressed his big sister.

Soon, the crew finally gave the signal.

Chu Mei gave a thumbs up before diving into the ocean.

Splash!

The cold seawater surrounded her body as she descended deeper beneath the surface.

Sunlight filtered beautifully through the water while schools of fish swam peacefully nearby.

Not far away, several massive great white sharks slowly cruised through the area, eating fish and minding their own business.

Chu Mei carefully looked around.

’Where could he be...?’

Suddenly...

A large great white shark appeared from the side and lightly bumped into her.

The sudden contact startled Chu Mei, causing her to lose balance briefly underwater before quickly stabilizing herself again.

After calming down, she continued searching.

Then finally...

She spotted one.

A tagged great white shark.

And it was clearly injured.

A massive fishing hook was embedded deep into its side.

’Found him!’

Chu Mei carefully swam closer.

But the injured shark was far more aggressive than normal.

It violently thrashed around the water, clearly not wanting anyone near it.

’Calm down... calm down...’

Chu Mei tried approaching it slowly and gently.

But then...

The shark suddenly snapped.

Its massive body lunged directly toward her with terrifying speed.

Its mouth opened wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.

Even underwater, Chu Mei could practically hear the monstrous roar in her head.

Her eyes widened in fear.

She immediately tried swimming away...

But she knew she wasn’t fast enough.

Panic instantly took over.

She began thrashing desperately in the water.

That only made things worse.

The movements immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding sharks.

One after another, the great whites began turning toward her.

Their massive bodies slowly approached through the dark blue water.

Chu Mei’s heart nearly stopped.

SPLASH!

A huge disturbance exploded across the surface above.

Before anyone could react, a figure shot into the water at incredible speed.

Shen Tian.

Without hesitation, he dove straight toward Chu Mei.

The moment he reached her...

He threw a powerful punch directly into the charging shark’s nose.

The massive great white immediately swam away in a panic.

Sharks had extremely sensitive noses, and that single punch was enough to completely disorient it.

Without wasting a second, Shen Tian wrapped an arm around Chu Mei’s waist and pulled her close to him.

Chu Mei’s eyes widened.

At this moment, she finally realized something terrifying.

Shen Tian had jumped into shark-infested waters...

Without diving equipment.

Without oxygen.

Without any weapon.

He came down here with nothing except himself.

Just to save her.

Her heart instantly exploded.

Looking at his face this close underwater, Chu Mei genuinely wanted to kiss him right there and then.

The surrounding sharks began circling them again.

One after another, they made aggressive passes toward the pair.

But Shen Tian remained unbelievably calm.

Holding Chu Mei securely with one arm, he maneuvered gracefully through the water while forcing the sharks back whenever they got close.

It almost looked like he was dancing underwater.

Every movement protected Chu Mei perfectly.

Not a single shark managed to get near her again.

Then...

His inner voice suddenly echoed inside Chu Mei’s mind.

[I will not allow her to get hurt.]

Chu Mei’s pupils trembled.

Her heart completely melted.

’So this is what love feels like...’

Despite only knowing Shen Tian for a short time, she suddenly understood it perfectly.

This feeling.

This safety.

This overwhelming warmth in her chest.

This was love.

Seeing an opening, Shen Tian immediately began swimming upward with Chu Mei in his arms.

A massive great white shark shot upward from below them at terrifying speed.

Its jaws opened wide as it rushed toward the pair.

Chu Mei’s face instantly turned pale.

However...

Shen Tian’s swimming speed was even faster.

The two shot upward through the water before the shark could reach them.

Splash!

Shen Tian burst out from the surface and immediately pushed Chu Mei safely onto the boat.

The entire crew rushed over to help her.

”Miss Chu!”

”Careful!”

”Are you hurt?!”

Shen Tian climbed onto the boat himself moments later.

Out of everyone there, Chu Fang looked the most anxious.

He quickly ran over to Chu Mei.

”Big sister, are you okay?” he asked hurriedly. ”Did a shark bite you anywhere?”

Chu Mei had just opened her mouth to answer when Chu Fang’s inner voice suddenly echoed in her head.

[It’d be a huge shame if she got disfigured...]

[That would seriously be a massive loss for me!]

Chu Mei blinked in confusion.

’Why would he say something like that...?’

Still shaken from earlier, she decided not to think too deeply about it for now.

After taking a few breaths to calm herself down, she looked toward the ocean sadly.

”I’m alright...” she said softly.

Then her expression dimmed.

”I’m just upset... It’s probably impossible to help a shark that aggressive...”

At that moment, Shen Tian gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

”That’s not true.”

Everyone immediately turned toward him.

Chu Mei looked confused.

”What do you mean?”

Shen Tian simply smiled.

Then...

Without another word...

He jumped back into the ocean.

SPLASH!

”SHEN TIAN!”

Chu Mei’s face instantly turned pale as she rushed toward the edge of the boat and reached desperately toward the water.

Chu Fang nearly exploded from happiness.

”Yes!”

He quickly covered his mouth after accidentally saying it out loud.

Still, he couldn’t stop the excitement bubbling inside him.

In his heart, he was practically cheering the sharks on.

Under the water, Shen Tian quickly found the injured great white shark again.

The moment he grabbed onto its fin, the shark instantly went berserk.

Like a raging bull beneath the ocean, it thrashed violently in every direction, its massive body tearing through the water with terrifying force.

But Shen Tian held on firmly.

While the shark struggled wildly, Shen Tian reached toward the fishing hook lodged deep in its side.

With one powerful pull...

He ripped the hook free.

At that exact moment, the massive great white burst out of the ocean.

SPLOOSH!

Water exploded everywhere.

Everyone on the boat stared in complete shock as the giant shark soared partially into the air.

And standing against its back was Shen Tian himself, holding the bloody fishing hook in his hand.

The scene looked straight out of an action movie.

”Oh my god...”

”No way...”

”Is he insane?!”

Even the experienced marine biologists were utterly speechless.

Chu Mei’s heart was pounding so hard she thought she might faint.

The sunlight reflected off the water while Shen Tian calmly held the hook in his hand like some kind of ocean conqueror.

At that moment...

He looked unbelievably handsome.

Not far away, Chu Fang nearly blacked out from disbelief.

His brain was struggling to process reality anymore.

A second later, the shark crashed back into the ocean and swam away freely.

Without the hook embedded in its body, it would now be able to recover naturally.

Shen Tian calmly kicked himself away from the shark and began swimming back toward the boat.

Once he climbed aboard, he casually held up the hook.

”I got it,” he said simply. ”Now the shark can heal himself.”

The moment he finished speaking, Chu Mei rushed forward and tightly hugged him.

”I was so scared...” she muttered into his chest. ”I thought I was going to lose you...”

Shen Tian gently patted her back.

”I’m fine,” he said reassuringly. ”The shark needed help first.”

Chu Mei slowly looked up at him.

Her eyes were full of emotion.

Then, without caring about anyone watching...

She kissed him.

The entire boat instantly exploded into chaos.

”WHAT?!”

”She kissed him?!”

”Damn!”

Several crew members nearly dropped their equipment in shock.

Chu Fang finally snapped out of his stunned state just in time to witness the scene.

He froze completely.

His tiny body trembled.

Then he slowly looked toward the sky with hollow eyes.

”System...” he whispered weakly.

”Am I really the protagonist?”

The system quickly responded.

[Host, do not panic.]

[This is merely another small obstacle on your path to greatness.]

Chu Fang’s eye twitched.

”A SMALL obstacle?!”

[Please continue working hard, Host.]

”I need to breathe... He’s just a background character... I don’t need to be jealous...” Chu Fang muttered to himself, forcing out a stiff smile.

”In the end, she’ll still become mine.”
