However, before they had taken more than a few steps, they heard Wang Xincheng shout at Yang Xinyue, who had already left in disgust.
"Yueyue, if you leave, I'll jump off here. You know I can't swim."
Yang Xinyue walked away without stopping, showing no intention of pausing for him. Judging from her impatient appearance, it was clear that she had been bothered by Wang Xincheng for quite some time.
Come to think of it, with Qin Yang, who is tall and handsome, standing in front of you, who would like Wang Xincheng, who is slightly chubby, has a face full of acne, and is always threatening suicide, looking like he is obsessed with love?
She even wondered how someone like Qin Yang could become brothers with such a spineless coward.
As soon as Yang Xinyue left, the onlookers started to jeer.
"Brother, everyone's gone. Stop howling. It's Chinese New Year, save your energy and go home for dinner!"
"Exactly, why insist on being hung up on this one person? It's obvious they don't like you, so don't force it."
These are all well-intentioned people offering advice, but there are even more hateful ones.
"Didn't you just say you'd jump into the river if they left? Now that they're gone, why don't you jump then!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu immediately thought of the real-life incident in later generations where a firefighter had clearly held onto a girl, but was ultimately forced to let go and jump by the jeering crowd. Just like those malicious people, these jeering onlookers were truly disgusting.
They weren't just one person, but a group, and each of them looked like a young thug. In the scene of Wang Xincheng's extreme grief, the conversation shifted to their harsh mockery. Their disdainful faces deeply hurt Wang Xincheng.
Before anyone could react, he used his height advantage to step over the railing with just one leg. After standing outside the railing, he glanced in the direction Yang Xinyue had left. Although her figure was no longer there, he still smiled sadly, then closed his eyes in despair and fell down.
Upon hearing the loud splash, the people on the shore became anxious.
"Quick, save them! Go find a rope! What are you all standing around for?"
In such cold weather, with such cold water and such cold words, he was determined to die!
Before Xiao Jiu could react, or rather before Wang Xincheng jumped into the river, Zhou Yue beside him had already taken off his military overcoat and started stretching.
Although he didn't catch Wang Xincheng, who was trying to commit suicide, after he finished warming up by jumping into the river, he took off his sweater and cotton pants, and jumped in wearing only his thermal underwear.
Everything happened too fast. Xiao Jiu only had time to catch a glimpse of his back before quickly picking up her scattered clothes. She stood on the bridge, tiptoed, and looked down to make sure she was in the right direction. Then, she ran down the bridge, her eyes never leaving Zhou Yue as she hurriedly followed.
Running and calling Zhou Yue's name, he watched as Zhou Yue swam to Wang Xincheng's side, only to be grabbed tightly by the man who instinctively wanted to survive, who pressed his entire body against him. He bobbed up and down in the rapids, and Xiao Jiu stamped his feet in frustration.
"Hit him! Hit him! This bastard! Are you trying to save him? Does he want Zhou Yue to die with him?"
Fortunately, Zhou Yue was very skilled. He circled around behind him, restrained his arms, and used his strong arms to hold his head.
Even with such a simple action, struggling in the water for so long, especially in front of Wang Xincheng who was like an octopus clinging to Zhou Yue as a lifeline, he expended a considerable amount of energy.
While pulling him towards the shore, he ran out of strength several times and sank for a while before struggling to surface.
The sight of the small wine shop on the shore was heartbreaking, so I turned back to look for the person on the shore.
"Is there anyone who can go down and save him? That person is trying to drag him down with them! How can someone be so shameless? Wasn't he going to jump into the river? Is he trying to take my brother down with him?"
Xiao Jiu saw that no one responded, and some people even made sarcastic remarks.
“This kind of person shouldn’t be saved. Look at his ugly appearance. He’d rather take someone down with him even if he died. It’s a pity for this man.”
"Exactly, someone who's determined to die wouldn't wear down someone's strength like this. Ugh, how shameless! People like that deserve to die."
There were many onlookers, but no one went into the water to rescue him. Xiao Jiu anxiously shouted to Zhou Yue, who was trying to pull him out of the river.
"Brother, don't save him! This kind of person isn't worth saving. Come back quickly! If you delay any longer, you'll die!"
Xiao Jiu was so anxious that her voice trembled and she started to cry. She even began to take off her cotton-padded coat.
"Brother, if you don't come back soon, I'm going down there! Brother, please come back!"
At this moment, Zhou Yue did hear Xiao Jiu's shouts. He was also worried that she would really jump in. The river water was so cold. If a young girl like her jumped in, she would definitely suffer long-term consequences.
But he couldn't respond, because Wang Xincheng, with a wicked smile on his lips, was holding him tightly and pulling him into the river.
"You want to be a hero? And make me get cursed? Bah! I don't want to live anymore, and neither do you. I'll make you die from your own stupidity!"
But he underestimated Zhou Yue's endurance. After he said those words, the other man suddenly stopped struggling and sank directly into the water with his strength. The weight of the two of them quickly sank down. After all the river water had submerged them, the fool began to panic. He tried to open his mouth to speak, but he choked as soon as he opened it and quickly showed signs of drowning.
Zhou Yue pulled him up to the surface of the river only after he lost the ability to resist.
It wasn't that he meant well, but if this person really died here, then he, who went into the water to save him, would first be morally blackmailed.
No matter what he has done, I cannot die in front of him. This is the scene that a soldier cannot bear to see.
Fortunately, someone swam towards them before they both sank to the bottom.
With the help of the two old men, and after a great deal of effort, they finally managed to drag them all to the shore.
God knows how relieved he felt when he was breathing normal air again.
“Young man, you’re still too kind. Next time you need to save someone, knock them out first, or wait until they’re almost exhausted before you go over. Look what this bastard has done to you. Your sister even knelt down and begged us to save you. What will happen to your sister if you die?”
A little wine...
His sore eyes were squinting in the sunlight, and his ears were also uncomfortable from the water. But when a blurry figure staggered up to him, crying and calling his name, and patting his face to make him turn around and look at her, Zhou Yue's heart clenched. His previously unfocused gaze gradually focused on one point, and when he saw the little girl in front of him with snot and tears streaming down her face, he felt a pang of heartache.
"Okay, don't cry, I'm fine. See, I'm up here now."
