In 2023, swimmer Jiang Jiaojiao died saving a drowning child during a seaside team-building activity.
In 1964, Lin Baoni saved a drowning soldier but died from exhaustion in the sea.
Ji...
Gu Xuanyi had been looking forward to this for so long, and now he could finally see it to his heart's content.
Liu Jiu doesn't want to read right now; she just wants to run around for a while. She wants to spar with Mu Nanfang, but she doesn't know if he's home. She'll call and ask.
Liu Jiu went upstairs to look for a phone number, and as soon as she came down, her mother called her to answer the phone.
"I'm looking for you in the South."
"Mu Nanfang, I just found your home phone number and was about to call you."
When Mu Nanfang heard Liu Jiu say that, he was secretly pleased.
"I thought you should have finished eating by now, so why don't you come out for a run?"
“I also wanted to get you out and move around a bit, you’ve been feeling stiff these past few days.”
Liu Jiu changed his clothes and got ready to go out. He didn't ask Gu Xuanyi and the other two to give them a day off.
"Sixty-nine, here."
Mu Nanfang came running, panting heavily.
"You ran all this way, you must be exhausted, but don't be in a hurry. Now you can completely relax."
"You can relax for a summer vacation, but it won't be so easy after school starts."
Mu Nanfang imagined Liu Jiu in military uniform; it must look very different.
"I'm used to it, but I don't know how long it will take before I can use the computer again?"
"I don't know about that. You guys need to keep a lot of things to yourself. Liu Jiu, after school starts, will you still cut your hair into a buzz cut like before?"
Mu Nanfang looked at Liu Jiu's ponytail and thought it was quite cute.
"No, I'll see how the school requires girls to cut their hair, I'll just follow the crowd."
Sixteen-year-old Liu Jiu also knows about beauty. She may not care, but everyone has a heart that loves beauty.
"That's fine too."
Mu Nanfang thought Liu Jiu's short hair looked good too, just not too short, at least not shorter than his.
"Mu Nanfang, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to a movie."
"See a movie?"
Mu Nanfang's heart was racing. Could it be...?
"I haven't even thanked you for tutoring me yet. I'll treat you to a movie and a nice meal. I have money, and you can't take it from me."
Mu Nanfang's heart sank back down. No rush, there are still two years before he can tell Liu Jiu.
