As Gu Yiming spoke, he took out his phone and pretended to make a call. The old man who had been faking an accident on the ground listened to Gu Yiming's words, his eyes darting around. Finally, when he realized that Gu Yiming didn't seem to be joking, he suddenly got up from the ground and apologized to Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming, saying, "I'm sorry, I fell down on my own this time. It has nothing to do with you. I hope you'll spare my life and not call the police. Please, I beg you."
Those around Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua were also surprised by the dramatic turn of events. They stared at the elderly man who had staged the accident with astonishment, and some of them angrily said, "This society is really terrifying. Everyone says to respect the elderly, but nowadays, the elderly are always taking to the streets to criticize young people. Look at what's going on here!"
It is said that things that provoke public outrage will resonate with people, and this is exactly the case. If these people felt sorry for the old man when he acted pitifully before, they will now feel disgusted by his actions.
One person made a sarcastic remark, and the others immediately chimed in, "Isn't that right? I was just feeling sorry for him and wanted to help him, but it turns out he was trying to extort money from me. That's really too much. It seems we can't just give up our seats on public transport like that from now on."
“Yes, yes, speaking of this reminds me of something that happened before. I was on a bus and met an elderly person. I kindly offered her my seat, but who knew that the bus would brake suddenly and she would fall to the ground. In the end, she grabbed my leg and said that I pushed her. Can you believe how infuriating that is?” Another woman, who was about thirty years old, also said something similar.
After he finished speaking, the people around him began to discuss it. It was clear that such incidents had been commonplace recently, which was why they were being reported in the news. Now, whether to help an elderly person who has fallen or not is a rather frustrating question given how society has developed.
"Baron, how about... how about..." Jiang Hua, who was standing nearby, had also heard all those words. Faced with such a scene, she felt a little pity and immediately grabbed Gu Yiming's arm and whispered to him.
Seeing Jiang Hua's soft-hearted expression, Gu Yiming understood her meaning and nodded to her. Then he said to the old man who was trying to scam him, "Alright, I'll let you off this time. I just hope you won't do this kind of thing again in the future."
Those around also heard Gu Yiming say he would let the old man go. Some people were about to say something, but when they saw the old man's gray hair, they stopped talking.
Seeing that Gu Yiming wasn't going to pursue the matter, the old man who had staged the accident thanked Gu Yiming with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, thank you, you're such a good person."
As she spoke, the old woman quickly ran away, as if she was afraid that Gu Yiming would change his mind. Faced with this scene, the people around shook their heads and sighed, "Judging from her appearance, she will continue to lie in the future. She is really too despicable."
The grumbling crowd dispersed, and Gu Yiming pulled Jiang Hua's arm as they walked forward. As they walked, Jiang Hua was filled with mixed emotions about what had just happened.
"Alright, let's not think about those unhappy things anymore. I just heard that the lotus flowers around the hospital are in bloom. Let's go take a look." Gu Yiming, who had been holding Jiang Hua's hand, suggested this when he saw that she didn't seem very happy.
Jiang Hua knew about the lotus incident at the hospital, and was very happy to hear Gu Yiming's suggestion. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look."
After they finished talking, the two headed towards the lotus pond. Only when they stood by the pond, looking at the blooming lotus flowers, did Jiang Hua finally put the previous incident behind her.
"Drawing." Facing the blooming flowers before him, Gu Yiming felt a surge of excitement. He called Jiang Hua's name in a hoarse voice, and when she turned around, he kissed her lips right there by the lotus pond.
Jiang Hua was caught off guard by Gu Yiming's sudden outburst in front of everyone. She became agitated and pushed him away, forgetting that they were at the edge of the lotus pond. Sure enough, as Jiang Hua pulled her hand back, Gu Yiming's unfortunate figure fell into the lotus pond.
With a "plop," Jiang Hua stared wide-eyed as Gu Yiming fell into the lotus pond. She rushed forward in a panic, but before she could even shout, she saw Gu Yiming stand up in the lotus pond with a lotus leaf on his head. She immediately covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Gu Yiming, you're really too funny!" Gu Yiming, who had just stood up, heard Jiang Hua say this with a laugh. He couldn't accept it and fell backward again.
This time, Jiang Hua stared at Gu Yiming for a long time without him standing up. She panicked and shouted to those around her, "Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
While shouting, Jiang Hua's eyes were fixed on the lotus pond, hoping that Gu Yiming was alright. The hospital staff also rushed over after hearing the commotion. When Jiang Hua saw them coming, she quickly stood up and said to them, "Please hurry and save him! My boyfriend has fallen into the water."
As she spoke, Jiang Hua was filled with regret. Her voice was almost breaking with tears. Gu Yiming, who was in the water, heard Jiang Hua's voice and knew she was about to cry. He stood up from the water before the others went in and stared intently at Jiang Hua.
"Gu Yiming, are you trying to die? Get out of the water right now!" Jiang Hua, who was about to cry, saw Gu Yiming stand up from the water and quickly suppressed her tears. She immediately shouted this at Gu Yiming, who was standing in the water, with a dark face.
Seeing Jiang Hua like this, Gu Yiming quickly came out of the water and apologized repeatedly to the people around him. Finally, after they left, he stepped forward and hugged Jiang Hua as they left.
