He Yunze was still wearing his pajamas and hadn't even put on his shoes when he picked up the kitten and walked out without hesitation.
Song Ruoan was taken aback at first, and then seeing his stormy appearance, her heart sank. She hurriedly followed behind He Yunce, trying to stop him.
"Husband...husband...what exactly do you want to do?"
Song Ruoan shouted, but He Yunce remained unmoved; on the contrary, his expression darkened further.
The kitten meowed a few times, then seemed to realize something and began to kick and struggle in fear, its round little belly twitching with apprehension.
However, it was completely unable to break free from He Yunce's control.
The maids and servants in the courtyard didn't dare to say anything, and all lowered their heads, following closely behind He Yunce.
He Yunze stopped slowly when he reached the lakeside in the backyard garden.
The lake in the backyard garden is very deep, with thick silt at the bottom. Many people used to fall into it, and it was only recently repaired.
Everyone watched as He Yunze walked over expressionlessly and raised the hand holding the raccoon cat over the railing, their hearts pounding in their chests.
Looking at He Yunce's appearance, Song Ruoan felt as if he had gone mad, which made her feel weak all over.
She almost knelt on the ground, pleading, "Husband, husband. I know I was wrong, please, don't scare me, okay?"
He Yunze just stared at Song Ruoan, looking at the little raccoon cat in front of him with almost pity, and then slowly let go.
With a thud.
The chubby little kitten just fell into the water.
The kitten struggled in the water, splashing water and creating ripples.
He Yunze smiled, his eyes reddening: "Aren't you the most kind-hearted person?"
"Didn't you say you didn't mind its lowly status?"
"Aren't you going to treat this kitten as our child?"
"Then go down and fish it out, go down and rescue it."
He Yunze smiled and pointed to the little raccoon struggling in the water.
Although the coldest period of the year has passed, there is still ice in the water that has not yet melted.
Falling into such water is naturally freezing cold. If a kitten fell in, even a man who practices martial arts would feel his body stiffen.
Song Ruoan's breath almost stopped at this moment. Looking at He Yunce's crazy appearance, her blood seemed to flow backward. She didn't dare to move at all.
But He Yunze didn't want to let her off so easily. He walked directly to Song Ruoan's side, grabbed the back of her neck, pressed her body down, and forced her to look at the kitten struggling in the lake.
"Don't you like to pretend? You say you're naturally kind, your favorite color is pink, your favorite food is candied hawthorn, and your favorite drink is milk!"
"Since you can't even bear to step on an ant, then get down here now!"
Song Ruoan watched the poor little raccoon struggling in the water, its movements becoming increasingly sluggish and its body increasingly stiff.
The more it struggled, the farther it drifted from the lakeshore, eventually heading towards the center of the lake. Its downy fur stuck haphazardly to its head, making it look like it was about to die.
Song Ruoan wanted to go into the water, but looking at the bottomless lake and the ice that hadn't melted, her breathing became more and more rapid, her whole body trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She finally collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had left her, her whole body trembling with fear.
"I don't dare...I don't dare..."
"My husband, I can't swim... I can't swim at all..."
Just as Song Ruoan finished speaking, He Yunce was about to make a sarcastic remark when he saw a figure squeeze through the crowd.
Upon hearing the report from the servants outside, Song Xizhi followed them into the garden.
Because it involved He Yunce, she didn't have any particular emotions at first.
But when she saw the little tabby cat struggling in the bottomless lake, slowly pushing aside the frozen surface and creating ripples, she was deeply moved.
Song Xizhi's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The weather is so cold, and the cat is still so small and innocent.
It was so small that it didn't even know what it had done wrong.
Song Xizhi immediately recalled that long-buried memory.
She knew the lake water was cold and that the ice cubes would make a crisp sound when they collided.
Many people were standing on the lake, and everyone was talking, as if mocking or ridiculing, but in short, they were indifferent.
But their indifferent voices were no longer audible to those in the lake.
The lake water was so cold, like a greedy demon frantically sucking away at her body heat and skin temperature, gradually pushing her towards the center of the lake.
She struggled desperately, but could only feel her body getting colder and colder, and her limbs becoming stiffer and stiffer.
It turned into something like a block of ice...
Boundless despair, like darkness, will devour everything.
Song Xizhi's mind seemed to go blank at this moment.
She seemed to see that little girl from more than ten years ago, sinking and floating in the cold lake water with utter despair, so small and so powerless.
Song Xizhi took off his cloak without hesitation.
Without hesitation, he jumped into the lake again.
At this moment, she wasn't trying to save a little raccoon that had fallen into the water; she was trying to save herself, who was also living in a nightmare.
Song Xizhi's sudden action shocked everyone present.
When the renowned physician Rihua rushed to the scene, all he managed to grab was a corner of Song Xizhi's clothing.
At that moment, Granny Wu's body went limp; she collapsed to the ground, unable to stand, only able to scream hoarsely:
"When Miss was little, she was pushed into the lake; she fell into the lake..."
Before Granny Wu could finish speaking, He Yunce's whole body stiffened.
Song Ruoan's crying also froze.
But just as no one was reacting, a dark figure squeezed through the crowd and leaped into the air without hesitation.
He disappeared from everyone's sight almost without hesitation, before anyone around him could even see his face clearly.
It made a "plop" sound.
