Thinking this, Li Yunfeng quickened his pace and kept looking ahead, but he didn't see Xia Huanle.
With no other option, Li Yunfeng had to search and ask people along the way. Fortunately, everyone on the street knew Li Yunfeng and some people recognized Xia Huanle, and someone actually saw her.
She told Li Yunfeng that Xia Huanle had been walking forward, seemingly heading towards a small river on the outskirts of the city.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfeng sensed something was wrong and headed straight for the river.
When he arrived at the riverbank, he saw Xia Huanle already in the middle of the river, almost submerged in the water, yet she was still walking step by step into the middle of the river.
“Xia Huanle, you…” Li Yunfeng gritted his teeth, and without thinking, immediately jumped into the river and swam towards the center.
By the time he swam to the middle of the river, Xia Huanle had already sunk, but luckily he arrived in time.
After rescuing Xia Huanle to the shore, Li Yunfeng couldn't get her to respond no matter how he called out to her. He was so anxious that he tried everything he could.
Artificial respiration and chest compressions were performed, but Xia Huanle showed no response, as if she had stopped breathing.
Li Yunfeng was so panicked that his hands and feet were trembling and his heart was racing. He had never been so scared in his life.
He knelt down in front of Xia Huanle in a fit of rage and shouted, "Xia Huanle, you're not allowed to die! Come back here! I have something to tell you. Even if you're going to die, you have to listen to me first."
Xia Huanle, lying on the ground, remained motionless, as if she had lost all breath.
Li Yunfeng was almost in tears. He reached out and grabbed Xia Huanle's hand, shouting excitedly, "I want to tell you, it's Yunzhifeng's loss that he doesn't want you. It's not that you're not good enough. If he doesn't want you, I will. I've always liked you. It's just that before this, I didn't understand what liking someone meant, but now I understand, I understand, I understand..."
At this point, tears welled up in Li Yunfeng's eyes. He excitedly patted Xia Huanle's body several times and whispered, "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
Just after those few moments, Xia Huanle, who had been motionless, suddenly coughed, spat out a mouthful of water, slowly opened her eyes, and stared blankly at Li Yunfeng.
Li Yunfeng was so excited he could hardly believe his eyes. "You're awake! You're really awake?"
After confirming that Xia Huanle was indeed awake, Li Yunfeng immediately helped her up and held her in his arms, anxiously asking, "Is anything bothering you? Can you breathe? I'll take you to the hospital."
Xia Huanle coughed several times in a row. After calming down, she turned to look at Li Yunfeng and asked, "Was it you who was speaking just now?"
"No..." Li Yunfeng felt a little embarrassed as he recalled what he had just said.
Xia Huanle then asked, "You just said you like me?"
"I..." Li Yunfeng looked at Xia Huanle, his face slightly red. This was the first time he had ever been so cowardly, not daring to admit what he had said.
However, looking at Xia Huanle who had just escaped with her life, Li Yunfeng was furious. He frowned at Xia Huanle and said, "Just because of Yun Zhifeng, you're willing to risk your own life?"
Speaking of this, Xia Huanle lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears.
Li Yunfeng held his breath. If it weren't for the special circumstances today, he would have taught Xia Huanle a lesson again.
She held back for a moment, but couldn't help it. However, her tone softened considerably. "Xia Huanle, when are you going to wake up? You and Yun Zhifeng were never wrong. You have a clear conscience. Why did you try to kill yourself?"
"I..." Xia Huanle sat up, gazing wistfully into the distance, and said, "After Zhifeng and I decided to get married, I wrote to my family to tell them. They were overjoyed and made sure the whole brigade knew about it..."
At this point, she gave a sarcastic laugh, "Now that I know Yun Zhifeng doesn't want me anymore, everyone in the village is laughing at my family. My parents feel ashamed and won't let me go back. I..."
At this point, Xia Huanle turned around and wiped away her tears, looking helplessly at Li Yunfeng. "What should I do? I'm just doing a job in Kyoto. I'll have to go back sooner or later, but now I know I can't go back."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfeng understood that Xia Huanle's family felt ashamed that she hadn't gotten married, and they wouldn't even let her go home, which drove her to suicide.
At this moment, Li Yunfeng looked at Xia Huanle with heartache in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "What kind of people are you? When something like this happens, they don't worry about you, but instead care about their own face?"
Xia Huanle shook her head and explained helplessly, "That's how it is in our rural area. People assume that since we've reached the point of discussing marriage, we've done all sorts of things, both expected and not expected. Then, the engagement is broken off, and I'm sure I'll never get married in this lifetime. What's the point of my life?"
"So you're going to die?" For some reason, hearing that Xia Huanle wasn't going to die for Yun Zhifeng made him feel a little relieved, but he still couldn't hold back his words.
He looked at Xia Huanle and snorted, "Xia Huanle, is that all you've got? You're determined to get married in this lifetime?"
Xia Huanle nodded repeatedly, saying matter-of-factly, "Who doesn't get married in their lifetime? Marriage is a woman's final destination. If you don't get married, what will you do if you die and have nowhere to be buried?"
At this point, Xia Huanle sighed again, "But someone like me is destined to have no home in this life..."
At this time, the vast majority of women shared the same thought as Xia Huanle; very few would choose not to marry.
Seeing Xia Huanle's heartbroken state, Li Yunfeng suddenly had an idea.
He hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "If you really have to get married, you can marry me."
Although the voice was soft, Xia Huanle heard it. She turned to look at Li Yunfeng, unable to believe what she had heard. "What did you say?"
Having already said it, Li Yunfeng wasn't embarrassed anymore. He said it again very seriously and firmly, "Anyway, you're worried about not being able to get married. My family, my mom has been urging me to get married. Aren't we a perfect match?"
"I, you..." Xia Huanle looked at Li Yunfeng, a little confused.
Is marriage something to be treated so lightly?
Does he mean to just randomly pair up a couple?
Li Yunfeng looked at her and nodded, then said very seriously,
Don't worry, after you marry me, I will take care of you. I'm sure I'll be a good match for you.
“I…” Xia Huanle stared blankly at Li Yunfeng. Of course she knew that Li Yunfeng was a good match, but the question was whether she was good enough for him.
She always felt that Li Yunfeng was joking.
With Li Yunfeng's qualifications, he could have any woman he wanted, so why would he say he wanted to marry her?
Li Yunfeng knew she might not be able to accept it right away, so he didn't force her. He said softly, "You don't have to answer me right away. You can think about it carefully. If you agree, come find me. I'm always here for you."
