Zhou Xiaoye was swept away by the river, struggling frantically but unable to control his body, and despair ensued.

She wanted to go to school, wanted to take control of her own destiny, and even more so, wanted to marry Li Weidong!

She didn't want to die!

But now, soaking in the river, she has absolutely no hope of survival...

Just then, Li Weidong's voice came over: "Xiao Ye, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Zhou Xiaoye jolted awake and then saw Li Weidong swimming desperately toward him.

My mind, which had been dazed and confused from being soaked in water, and my body, which had been weak, suddenly came back to life.

She struggled desperately: "Brother Weidong, I'm here!"

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Li Weidong grew up in the river and was an excellent swimmer. Even though the current was swift, it did not hinder him, and he quickly caught up with Zhou Xiaoye.

As Zhou Xiaoye watched him swim towards her, she couldn't help but think of the day she got engaged to Zhang the Cripple.

That day, Li Weidong also appeared out of nowhere and rescued her from the darkness of her life.

Even the gods are nothing more than this...

"Ono, grab my hand!"

Li Weidong swam with all his might to Zhou Xiaoye's side and put his arm around her waist.

Feeling his strong arms, Zhou Xiaoye felt a surge of security and instinctively hugged his neck, saying, "Brother Weidong, thank you..."

"Silly girl."

Li Weidong shook his head and swam ashore with her in his arms.

The current was very strong, and even though he was a good swimmer, he was almost exhausted when he brought Zhou Xiaoye ashore. It took him a while to recover.

When they looked at Zhou Xiaoye again, they were startled.

It turned out that Zhou Xiaoye had already fainted at some point!

"Ono!"

Li Weidong was both shocked and frightened. He quickly picked her up and laid her on his lap, pressing water out of her stomach.

It wasn't until Zhou Xiaoye vomited a large puddle of water that the person slowly regained consciousness.

She was awake, but very weak.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Ye, Brother Wei Dong will take you home!"

Li Weidong scooped her up in his arms and ran home.

Along the way, he encountered many villagers who were all startled by his appearance.

Li Weidong didn't bother to explain and ran all the way home. Before he even entered the house, he shouted, "Mom, Xiaoye fell into the river while washing clothes. Quickly get her some clean clothes to change into."

"I'll take her to the hospital!"

Zhao Xiulian was washing dishes when she heard this and was startled. She rushed out and asked, "How did you fall into the river? Xiao Ye, are you alright?"

Zhou Xiaoye nestled in Li Weidong's arms, shaking her head with a pale face: "Auntie, I...I'm fine."

"Poor thing, go change your clothes!"

Zhao Xiulian was heartbroken and hurriedly went into the house, then instructed Li Xiaoli to go to the river and bring the clothes back.

Li Weidong carried Zhou Xiaoye into the house.

Zhao Xiulian had already found some clothes and looked worried: "Xiaoye, shall I help you change?"

"No need, I can do it myself!"

Zhou Xiaoye's face turned bright red, and he shook his head weakly, "Auntie, Brother Weidong, you should go out first!"

Li Weidong knew she was shy and wouldn't agree to let someone else help her change her clothes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up and change your wet clothes, I'll take you to the clinic."

With that, he led Zhao Xiulian out.

"How did it fall into the river?"

Zhao Xiulian frowned: "It's very hot today, but Xiao Ye is weak. If he soaks in it, he might get sick."

Li Weidong sighed: "Let's go to the hospital later and get some cold medicine as a precaution!"

"Oh, you should go and change your clothes too. I'll go and make some hot soup to warm you up."

As she spoke, Zhao Xiulian went to the kitchen.

After changing his clothes, Li Weidong noticed there was still no movement from Zhou Xiaoye's room and became worried: "Xiaoye, have you changed your clothes yet?"

There was not a sound in the room.

Li Weidong panicked: "Xiao Ye? Are you alright? Can I come in?"

As they were talking, they kicked open the door and forced their way in.

I was stunned as soon as I entered the door.

Zhou Xiaoye was only wearing a light jacket, lying on the bed with a flushed face, clearly having fainted from a fever.

"Ono!"

Li Weidong's daydreams vanished instantly, leaving only a deep sense of tension and worry.

He hurriedly dressed Zhou Xiaoye and carried her outside.

Zhao Xiulian came over after cooking ginger soup, and was taken aback when she saw him like this: "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Ye has a fever, I'm taking her to the village clinic."

Before Li Weidong could finish speaking, he had already walked quite a distance away.

Zhao Xiulian shook her head, "This boy, I never expected him to be so doting on his wife. Xiao Ye is so lucky!"

Fortunately, Ono is a sensible girl who knows how to repay kindness, so the young couple's future life will definitely be very good.

...

The village clinic, though called a clinic, was really just a barefoot doctor who kept some common medicines at home and treated people for minor illnesses like colds and fevers.

If it gets any worse, we'll have to go to town.

Li Weidong actually wanted to take Zhou Xiaoye to the town hospital, but Zhou Xiaoye was too feverish to ride a motorcycle.

Secondly, this fever shouldn't be delayed; it's better to go to the clinic and get some fever-reducing medicine first.

When they arrived at the clinic, the doctor examined them and laughed: "It's nothing serious. They were just frightened after falling into the water and lost their senses. They also have a slight fever."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Go back and have your mother perform a soul-searching ritual. Once the person wakes up, they'll take the medicine and everything will be fine."
