Chapter 50 She stuck out her tongue and licked it, then bit it.
Xiao Jingheng knelt down on one knee and, following first aid procedures, pressed hard on Su Xiaoyu's abdomen, trying to make her vomit the water she had swallowed.
One blow after another, no one knew how panicked he was inside.
Those faces, usually as calm as a mountain, were now filled with panic and urgency.
He can't die!
Absolutely not!
"Cough...cough cough..."
Su Xiaoyu choked on some water, but her eyes remained tightly closed, showing no sign of waking up. Even her breathing was so faint it was almost invisible.
"Su Xiaoyu?"
"Wake up...please, wake up!" Xiao Lingxi looked at the unresponsive Su Xiaoyu and felt even more desperate.
Xiao Jingheng's face grew paler and paler, gripped by an overwhelming fear.
He couldn't wait any longer!
Thinking of something, he suddenly looked up and gave instructions to Xiao Lingxi and Zisu.
Turn around!
Xiao Lingxi was startled by his shout. Seeing her elder brother's terrifying eyes, she dared not disobey and quickly pulled Zisu around, turning her back to him.
She was both anxious and scared, and couldn't help but secretly glance back.
As a result, that one glance struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her frozen in place, as if petrified.
Her usually aloof, self-disciplined, and upright older brother was now bending down, pressing his lips to Su Xiaoyu's lips, and giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
This intimate gesture made Xiao Lingxi blush as if she had been burned, and she quickly turned her head away.
It’s over!
Will her older brother kill her?
In her confused state of mind, Su Xiaoyu felt as if she were floating in an endless darkness.
Suddenly, something soft and cool touched my lips, carrying a refreshing scent.
It smells wonderful.
[Hmm? Something delicious?]
She thought she was dead, and must have been dreaming of something delicious again, so she couldn't help but lick her lips.
The "food" suddenly froze, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Afraid that the "delicious" food she was about to eat would fly away, Su Xiaoyu quickly stuck out her tongue and gently licked it again.
It's cool and soft, like the jelly I used to eat, but you can savor it slowly. It's not quite like it though.
"Hmm..."
No, since we're already dead, and good food is being delivered to our door, we have to eat our fill before we can be reincarnated.
Hmm! Delicious food, wait for me!
I don't want to starve to death.
Thinking this way, Su Xiaoyu became a little bolder, gently opened her mouth, and tried to take a bite to savor it.
This time, however, what she was holding in her mouth wasn't some bouncy jelly, but a soft, warm, and slightly damp piece of something.
Huh?
What's this?
How come she's never tried it?
Su Xiaoyu kept her eyes closed, then stuck out her tongue and licked it, bit it, and sucked on it...
Huh?
"Hmm..."
In an instant, she felt the thing pause, as if it was about to run away, but as she pursued it relentlessly, it paused for a moment, and instead of leaving, it... entangled itself even more deeply.
Furthermore, as the conversation deepened, she noticed that all the air in her mouth seemed to be being taken away. Her chest began to feel tight and uncomfortable.
"Mmm..."
Su Xiaoyu let out two soft moans, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly as she voiced her discontent.
This subtle struggle, like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly pulled Xiao Jingheng back from the brink of losing control, completely absorbed in the unexpected response!
What is he doing?
Xiao Jingheng suddenly looked up and quickly retreated, looking unusually disheveled.
If you look closely, you'll notice a small, fresh bite mark on the corner of his lower lip.
At the same time, a large amount of fresh air rushed into Su Xiaoyu's lungs, and her strong survival instinct was aroused.
"Cough...cough cough cough...!"
Su Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head to the side and coughed violently, choking on several mouthfuls of water.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxi and Zisu hurriedly turned around. They saw that Su Xiaoyu had already woken up and was looking around blankly.
"Su Xiaoyu! You're awake?"
Xiao Lingxi stepped forward with delight.
"The young master? The second young lady?"
Su Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes and asked uncertainly, "Why are you all here?"
...
Fifteen minutes later, the doctor took the pulses of Xiao Lingxi and Su Xiaoyu and prescribed medicine.
Xiao Lingxi was alright; she only choked on a few mouthfuls of water and was otherwise unharmed.
Because Su Xiaoyu had been unconscious for a while and had choked on water, her condition was slightly more serious. The doctor advised her to rest well to avoid developing any lasting health problems.
This matter quickly alarmed Lady Liu.
She personally went to Jinxiu Pavilion to visit Xiao Lingxi. Looking at her daughter sitting on the couch, her face pale, Madam Liu felt both heartache and anger:
"What were you doing running off to the servants' yard? And you even fell into the water?"
Xiao Lingxi's heart tightened.
She dared not admit that she had misunderstood Su Xiaoyu's intention to commit suicide, which led her to panic and accidentally knock him into the lake.
Xiao Lingxi's mind raced, and she stammered.
"Mother, I... I heard that the koi in the yard were very beautiful, so I wanted to go and see them. But I accidentally slipped and fell in."
"Little Fish fell in while trying to save me, it's all my fault..."
Seeing her like this, Liu became even more suspicious.
"The pond in the mansion's garden is bigger than the one in her courtyard, and there are more koi carp there. If you wanted to see them, why didn't you go to the garden? Why did you have to go to the servants' courtyard? And you even managed to slip and fall in?"
"I……"
Xiao Lingxi was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.
Madam Liu immediately noticed something was wrong with her and probed, "Lingxi, tell your mother honestly, are you and that Su Xiaoyu hiding something from me?"
Xiao Lingxi's heart skipped a beat, and her palms sweated with fear.
"Mother."
At this critical moment, a clear and calm voice rang out from outside the door, timely interrupting Madam Liu's questioning.
Xiao Jingheng had changed into a clean set of dark-colored casual clothes and walked in with a calm and composed gait.
His expression had returned to normal, and the small wound on the corner of his lip had faded considerably, to the point that it was almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely.
He looked at Madam Liu and suddenly said, "It was I who sent Lingxi over there."
Liu and Xiao Lingxi were both startled!
"you?"
Xiao Jingheng continued, "A few days ago, I acquired an ancient inkstone. I heard that Xiaoyu's father had seen similar stones with his father at the border in his early years, so I wanted Lingxi to ask Su Xiaoyu on the way to see if she had heard her father mention it, so that we could identify it. However, Lingxi was playing and accidentally fell into the lake. Su Xiaoyu jumped into the water to save her, which led to the danger."
His reasoning was so convincing that Liu couldn't figure out what was wrong with it for a moment.
Her doubts dissipated somewhat, and she turned to Xiao Lingxi, scolding, "So that's how it is. You're always so clumsy. This time, we have to thank Xiaoyu properly."
Xiao Lingxi nodded vigorously, feeling a great sense of relief and gratitude towards her elder brother.
However, before he could fully relax, he felt his older brother's gaze, which seemed to carry an all-knowing coldness.
Xiao Lingxi instantly felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and her clothes, which had just dried, seemed to be covered in cold sweat again.
