"Dog Boy, Dog Egg, where have you been? Come back quickly."
Aunt Wang collapsed to the ground, soaked to the bone, filled with despair.
Lu Weimin and Lu Ze helped her up.
Lu Weimin wiped his rain-soaked face. "Sister-in-law, don't be discouraged. We need to see them, whether they're alive or dead. Think carefully about whether they told you where they were going."
Aunt Wang covered her face and cried bitterly: "No, they were at home when I left this morning, but when I came back, they were gone."
"They both love playing hide-and-seek in the fields."
My son and daughter-in-law went back to my parents' home yesterday. In just one day, the baby was lost. How can she face them? She might as well be dead.
The father and son exchanged a glance, and having no other choice, could only continue their aimless search with their men.
"Doggy, Doggy Egg."
"Doggy, Gou Dan'er, where are you?"
Ye Zhiyu walked down the street, surrounded by people shouting.
She searched for a familiar figure in the rain.
Lu Chen, where are you?
I vaguely heard shouts coming from afar.
"Captain, we found it! We found it!"
Aunt Wang rushed forward and grabbed the person's arm tightly: "Where is he? We've found him, where is he?"
The man was in pain from being gripped by Aunt Wang, but he understood and endured the pain, saying, "I'm...I'm by the river. I fell into the water, and Lu Chen has already gone down to save me."
Lu Weimin's heart tightened, and he quickly organized people to rush over there.
He went to the river to rescue someone in the pouring rain. If things went wrong and he failed to save the person, he...
Upon hearing the news, people rushed there.
After several days of rain, the river level rose, making it impossible to tell how deep it was. Looking out, there wasn't a soul in sight.
“Lu Chen went down a long time ago, why hasn’t he come up yet?”
Many people went into the water to offer assistance, but halfway there, the buoyancy was too great and the current too strong, making it impossible for them to maintain their balance, so they had to retreat.
Ye Zhiyu's mind went completely blank.
With eyes closed, my consciousness immediately spread out, searching inch by inch.
The situation underwater was extremely complicated. As Ye Zhiyu's spiritual energy dwindled, his expression grew increasingly grim.
When the last bit of spiritual energy was exhausted and Lu Chen was still nowhere to be found, a tear rolled down her cheek, fell, and disappeared into the rain.
Lu Chen, you liar! You promised to stay safe!
You promised me, how can you go back on your word?
Stop joking, it's not funny at all. Please come back.
Just when Ye Zhiyu was in despair, a voice gave her hope.
"There it is, look! There's a black dot."
Ye Zhiyu quickly wiped her eyes and carefully examined them.
It is Lu Chen.
With two children hanging on his back, he swam with difficulty, bobbing up and down.
Lu Weimin quickly organized people to get ropes, had those who could swim tie them to their bodies, and had several people hold them while they went to pick up the person.
They were finally rescued safely ashore.
The clinic's doctor was also on standby, ready to rush to the child's aid.
Fortunately, it was just a little water that I swallowed, and I was fine after spitting it out.
Lu Chen lay exhausted on the ground, and Lu Weimin and Lu Ze, their eyes red, gathered around him.
Lu Weimin couldn't help but give him a light kick, "You brat."
Lu Chen smiled.
The person has been found, and Lu Weimin quickly sent them home to prevent any further trouble.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Lu Chen, having rested enough, got up from the ground.
Looking up, she met Ye Zhiyu's reddened eyes, which were still sparkling.
Those are... tears!!!
Seeing this, Lu Ze patted him on the shoulder and went home first.
Lu Chen quickly stepped forward, helplessly raising his hand to wipe her tears, only to find that his own hand was wet.
In the end, all I could do was awkwardly say, "Don't cry."
Ye Zhiyu's lips trembled, and she choked out, "Lu Chen, you bastard." She clenched her fists and punched his chest repeatedly.
"Do you know how scared I was? I couldn't find you, I couldn't find you anywhere, I thought you were dead, you liar, you liar, you liar."
Tears streamed down her face. Lu Chen pulled her into his arms, feeling heartbroken and filled with remorse.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm sorry, please don't cry anymore, okay? I promise you, I'll be safe and sound, and I won't let you lose me again, okay?"
Lu Chen kept comforting her.
Ye Zhiyu calmed down, and Lu Chen loosened his grip slightly, wanting to check on her condition, but his mouth was covered.
He tasted saltiness; it was the taste of tears.
Sensing her unease, he immediately cupped the back of Ye Zhiyu's head with his large hand, deepening the kiss to make her feel his presence.
In fact, besides feeling guilty, he was also somewhat pleased.
Although Ye Zhiyu agreed to be with him, Lu Chen was uneasy. He worried that it was just a passing fancy, after all, she was not an ordinary person.
He was afraid that Ye Zhiyu would abandon him after she got tired of him.
But now he knows that Ye Zhiyu cares about him a lot.
Lu Ze, who was watching from a distance: In the end, I bore the brunt of it all.
He originally wanted to go home, but he was afraid that someone would turn back and see him, and then gossip.
The result is...
Lu Ze: I miss my wife.
Ye Zhiyu stepped back, and silver threads fell between the two of them, disappearing into the rain.
Lu Chen brushed the wet hair clinging to her cheeks and looked at her with pity.
Ye Zhiyu's breathing quickened. "Didn't you want to know what I would have to give up to heal your injuries? Let me tell you, Lu Chen, I don't have to give anything. You are the one who has to pay the price. Without you, I'm just a little girl. If you want a girl like me, who can't even kill a chicken, to be left alone in this world and bullied by everyone, then you can continue to disregard your own safety like this."
