Chapter 42 Dog-eat-dog
Li Beibei really jumped into the river this time.
Huang Yan failed to stop him, and she was so anxious that she shouted for help by the river. Most of the men in the village had gone to build the reservoir in the past few days, and only a few aunts in the village who could not swim were standing on the shore, running around anxiously.
"Why did Li Zhiqing jump into the river again? Is it because of that kid from the Fang family this time?"
Huang Yan couldn't explain it clearly. She asked Li Beibei many times but she refused to answer. "Auntie, let's find a way to rescue her first!"
"We can't swim either! This river is very deep!"
Children from good families had drowned in this river, and since no one could swim, no one went down to save Li Beibei.
Li Beibei, who was determined to die, did not struggle at all. Coupled with the heavy rain, she sank into the river.
At this moment, a figure flashed past the crowd and jumped into the river without hesitation.
It’s Fang Jiaxing.
As soon as he got into the water, he aimed at Li Beibei's direction and swam towards her with all his might. When he finally grabbed her hand, he saw that she really had no desire to live at all, like a puppet with its soul sucked out.
Fang Jiaxing liked her in the first place, so how could he bear to see her die?
Li Beibei realized that someone had come to save her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Fang Jiaxing with an anxious look on his face. He was desperately grabbing her shoulders and shaking him, as if trying to wake himself up.
Does anyone really care whether she lives or dies?
She thought Fang Jiaxing only liked her body. If he really loved her, why would he listen to his mother and refuse to marry her?
The shore was full of people, probably all laughing at her joke.
The resentment rekindled Li Beibei's fighting spirit. If she died, it would only benefit Jiang Wanying!
She can't die!
The suffocating feeling that hit her in the face made Li Beibei feel that all the air in her lungs had been squeezed out. The unprecedented fear made her panic. The cold river water flowed into her nasal cavity, forcing her to open her mouth, and bubbles continued to pour out.
She couldn't breathe at all!
Fang Jiaxing quickly put his arm around her waist, held her face with his other hand and kissed her, passing his aura to her.
The familiar kiss made the panicked Li Bei feel like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She calmed down in an instant and cooperated with Fang Jiaxing to swim to the shore.
“Cough cough cough——”
She was soaked all over, with too much water in her lungs, and she lay on the ground coughing continuously.
Ye Jiao ran over with her coat wrapped around her and covered her with it. Seeing her shivering, she asked worriedly, "Are you freezing? Are you stupid? Why are you so depressed?"
"Yeah, if there is something that can't be solved properly, why do you have to commit suicide? Who are you doing this for?" The village woman who was tired of watching Li Beibei commit suicide couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words.
"Enough! She's already like this, why are you still criticizing her?" Fang Jiaxing wiped the water off his face and defended her in public.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore, "She made so many troubles just for you, didn't she? You might as well just marry her home. It's no use going on like this."
"Didn't you two just kiss in the river? You have to be responsible for her!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! My son was trying to save her! He gave her a breath in a desperate situation! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" At this time, Liu Xiuyue came late after hearing the news.
"Beibei! What's wrong with you? Are you okay? Why did you jump into the river for no reason?" Fang Qiuyue also heard the news and hurried over to take a look.
