Shen Shuyi turned sideways and saw Zhou Qian two steps behind her. When she met his deep eyes, her heart suddenly started pounding.
Why was this man looking at her with such a stalemate look for no reason? He was wearing a black robe today, with a sword hanging at his waist, and his face was still stern.
As the dragon boat race began, the atmosphere became more and more lively, and some people even placed bets on which dragon boat would win first.
The crowd was crowded, and Zhou Qian said casually, "Cousin, be careful."
Shen Shuyi looked at the man who stood beside her specially, fearing that she would be pushed into the river, “I’m not a child.”
"It's better to be careful." Zhou Qian's expression remained unchanged, and even his tone did not change, but Shen Shuyi still heard his concern.
She subconsciously stepped back a little and stopped looking at the dragon boat. Suddenly, she noticed a resentful gaze.
Shen Shuyi asked the system calmly, “66, why do I feel like someone wants to harm me?”
[Host, your intuition is very accurate. Lou Caiya is here too. ]
Chen Shuyi understood. It must be that Lou Caiya felt that something was wrong that day. Not only did she fail to steal the chicken but also lost the rice, and she also got herself involved.
Lou Caiya, with a veil on her face, was indeed staring at Shen Shuyi intently. Her fingertips were pinched white because she hated Shen Shuyi so much.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have become the laughing stock of the entire Luoyang City. Originally, the person she liked was Zhou Xuanmin, but because she lost her virginity to Gao Shijian at the Peony Flower Festival, she had to marry this playboy!
Right now she wanted to tear the bitch Shen Shuyi to pieces!
Today, she will make Chen Shuyi lose her innocence in front of everyone, and never think about raising her head in front of others again! It would be best to drown on the spot!
Lou Caiya called the maid over, "Do you remember what I said?"
"Yes, I'll go right away." The maid, who was dressed in disguise, was approaching Shen Shuyi quietly.
Shen Shuyi had already noticed when the little maid sneaked up on her. She glanced at Zhou Qian who was right next to her. Perhaps this was an opportunity.
She can swim, so she won't drown if she falls from here. If someone else comes to rescue her faster than Zhou Qian, she can swim to the shore by herself...
So she just stood there, and the maid seemed to be pushed forward by the crowd.
When he pounced, he grabbed Shen Shuyi and tried to push her into the river.
Shen Shuyi grabbed the maid's clothes with his backhand and pulled her down with him.
With a "plop" sound, water splashed up.
“Miss Shen!” Ren Qingqing, who was closest to her, shouted loudly. She quickly pulled her brother’s arm and said, “Brother, go down and save Miss Shen.”
Ren Mingrui was also very anxious. He couldn't swim and would cause trouble if he went down.
Suddenly, he saw Zhou Qian jump down.
When Shen Shuyi fell into the water, he punched the maid in the face several times and kicked her several times to prevent her from getting any chance to entangle himself.
Just as she broke through the water, she saw Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian was agile and swam towards her quickly.
His eyes were full of worry. Cousin Shuyi was so fragile that she would definitely be scared if she fell into the water.
The moment Shen Shuyi saw Zhou Qian, she began to sink, and the next moment the man grabbed her with one arm and pulled her into his arms.
She subconsciously hugged the man's waist and unconsciously shouted, "Cousin..."
When Zhou Qian buried his head in her arms, his heart beat uncontrollably.
"Don't be afraid, cousin. I'll take you ashore."
Zhou Qian was worried that he would be surrounded and see his wet cousin as soon as he got ashore, so he swam towards where the guards were waiting. The guards had already prepared a large cloak.
He carried the person in his arms ashore, snatched the cloak from the guard's hand, wrapped Shen Shuyi tightly, and ran to where the carriage was parked.
Upon seeing this, the guards rushed forward to clear the way, preventing those onlookers from coming over to take a closer look.
So much so that the people in Luohe could only see Zhou Qian's tall body and broad back. The little girl in his arms was held tightly by him and wrapped in a cloak, making it difficult for others to see even a glimpse of the hem of her skirt.
Zhou Qian looked down at the person shivering in his arms. He kept running faster and faster, "Cousin!"
"Cold..." In May, the water in the river was still cold, and Shen Shuyi whispered against Zhou Qian's chest.
On the shore, Lou Caiya saw Shen Shuyi being rescued and she angrily tore the handkerchief in her hand. The maid beside her looked at the turbulent river surface with some worry.
"Girl, Cui'er has also fallen in. Do you want someone to go down and fish her out?"
"The river is so deep, anyone going down would be seeking death. Why are you going down?" Lou Caiya's eyes were cold. What a waste who can't do anything good but always makes things awful. It would be better to die than to live, but there's the risk of exposing her!
In the carriage, Zhou Qian put the person down and sat him down. He lifted his cloak a little and saw Shen Shuyi's pale face and body still trembling.
“Cousin, how are you?” His mind was filled with the scene of Shen Shuyi falling into the river, and for some reason his heart was in a mess, he was panicking, and even his mind was blank.
Shen Shuyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Qian saw that she was in tears and started crying.
The pair of eyes filled with grievance and sadness looked at him, whispering, "Cousin, I like you..."
Zhou Qian was stunned, as if he had forgotten to breathe.
Shen Shuyi was still in his arms, looking at the man in front of him, his voice choked, “I know you hate me, I don’t want to like you anymore…”
After saying that, Shen Shuyi fainted.
Zhou Qian saw tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, and his heart ached slightly.
It turns out that she really likes herself.
But he never noticed it once, and even said those blaming words at the Peony Party.
Zhou Qian closed his eyes. No wonder she said that she didn't want to call him cousin after the Lingshan Temple incident. So it was after the incident at the Lingshan Temple that his cousin fell in love with him...
But he was totally unaware and said hurtful things to her.
Zhou Qian hugged the petite person in his arms tightly, feeling her helplessness and her dependence.
He subconsciously lowered his head and touched her cool cheek.
"I'm sorry, cousin. When you wake up, I will apologize to you in person and will never hurt you again."
At the gate of the Shen Mansion, Shen Shan and Zhou Shu learned that their daughter had fallen into the Luo River while watching dragon boats and was rescued by Zhou Qian, so they immediately waited at the gate to avoid running out in a hurry and getting nothing.
"Yier!" When Zhou Shu saw her daughter being carried out of the carriage by Zhou Qian, she hurried over.
Chen Shan even stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Yan Zhao, give Yi'er to me."
Zhou Qian held the person tightly and refused to let go. "My cousin has fainted. Please ask uncle to go get a doctor first."
Chen Shan's face tensed when he saw this, and he said sternly: "Nephew, what do you mean? Although you are cousins, Yi'er has grown up and men and women are not allowed to touch each other. Please hand Yi'er over to me as soon as possible."
"It's windy outside. I'll send my cousin back to the wing room first, and then go to my aunt and uncle to apologize." Zhou Qian was tall and strode into the Shen Mansion and walked towards the backyard.
Zhou Shu was so anxious, "Don't worry about it for now, let the doctor see if Yi'er is injured."
Chen Shan asked the housekeeper to call a doctor, and he quickly chased Zhou Qian, staring at the man closely, fearing that he would do something improper to his daughter.
