The aunt who was holding him back was also anxious and shouted to the crowd, "Does anyone know how to swim? Hurry up and go down to save him!"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one went down.
Lu Yuanchao couldn't wait any longer, so he shook off the aunt's hand and prepared to jump into the water.
He only saw a figure flash by before he heard a splash, and someone had already jumped into the river before him.
"Sister Liqin..."
Wei Wenshu ran over and called out anxiously.
It was only then that everyone realized that Jia Liqin had gone into the river to save someone.
This made Lu Yuanchao even more anxious.
Without thinking twice, he broke free from his aunt's hand and plunged into the river.
Jia Liqin quickly swam to Zhong Yanling's side and tried to drag her towards the shore.
But when Zhong Yanling saw it was her, she felt nauseous and was not about to be easily rescued.
Besides, she had already noticed that Lu Yuanchao had gone into the river.
She clung tightly to Jia Liqin's arm and, intentionally or unintentionally, wrapped her legs around her. Soon, Jia Liqin began to sink.
"Gulp, gulp..."
Jia Liqin wanted her to let go, but as soon as she opened her mouth, river water entered her mouth, so she had to quickly close her mouth and hold her breath.
Lu Yuanchao swam over and saw the girl he liked being pulled down. He didn't care about his future sister-in-law anymore and dove into the water to save her.
Zhong Yanling was delighted to see Lu Yuanchao approaching, and tried to grab him after letting go of Jia Liqin.
But the outstretched hand grasped nothing; the person had already plunged to the bottom of the river.
When I saw the person again, they were already carrying someone in their arms.
"Liqin, you hold my second sister-in-law's hand, and I'll support you."
Jia Liqin felt wonderful that the suffocation had disappeared. Without thinking, she did as instructed. However, this time she was smarter. She pushed Zhong Yanling away, turned her back to her, and reached out her arm to support her from behind.
Zhong Yanling struggled, wanting Lu Yuanchao to just drag her away, but there was someone in between them.
She's so angry!
She tried to use the same trick again, clinging tightly to Jia Liqin so she couldn't swim, but she forgot that this time Jia Liqin didn't need to float; Lu Yuanchao was enough.
Moreover, Jia Liqin was also wary of her tripping over her this time, so she supported her body from behind.
There was no chance to make a move; they could only be passively dragged along.
Zhong Yanling was extremely anxious, but before she could come up with any solution, the three of them had already reached the shore.
"Oh dear, quick, they've been rescued."
A group of people waiting on the shore hurriedly began to help pull the person out.
After everyone helped Zhong Yanling up, they went to help Jia Liqin, only to find that Lu Yuanchao had already carried her away.
"Hey, Yuanchao, your sister-in-law is still here," an old woman called out to his retreating figure.
"Please help me send my second sister-in-law back," Lu Yuanchao replied without turning his head.
"Yuan Chao, I'm dizzy!" Zhong Yanling whispered, covering her head.
The next second, he collapsed to the ground, his body limp.
"Oh dear, the person has fainted."
Lu Yuanchao paused, then turned to everyone and said, "Quickly, please help me take my second sister-in-law to Brother Yuan's house so that Sister-in-law Wen and Doctor Gao can take a look at her."
Everyone was kind-hearted and quickly agreed, working together to carry the person to Lu Yuan's house.
Seeing that even in her condition, Lu Yuanchao still wouldn't let go of that woman to take care of her, Zhong Yanling gritted her teeth in hatred, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
But she can't do anything now, she can only continue to pretend to be unconscious and let everyone carry her away.
"Put me down right now."
Jia Liqin felt ashamed and indignant. How could this person pick her up and leave without saying a word? In front of everyone, how could she ever face anyone again?
"I won't let go. You're all wet. I'll carry you back." Lu Yuanchao insisted, carrying the person towards the cowshed.
Jia Liqin struggled a few times to no avail, and could only bury her head in his arms like an ostrich.
"Aren't you going to take care of your second sister-in-law?"
“I have to take care of you, I don’t have time for her,” Lu Yuanchao blurted out.
Only after the words left my mouth did I realize how ambiguous they were.
Their hearts began to pound.
"Well, I mean, with so many people helping her, she'll be fine."
"Um!"
Jia Liqin responded softly, but her voice was so quiet that it was drowned out by her own heartbeat.
Lu Yuanchao looked down and saw that the person was nestled obediently in his arms, with only a side profile showing. That side profile was already flushed, and with a strand of wet hair sticking to it, it was... incredibly alluring!
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly raised his head.
Tick-tock—
"Oh dear, you have a nosebleed!"
Jia Liqin exclaimed in surprise.
I just felt something dripping on my chest, and when I looked up, I realized it was this guy with a nosebleed.
He quickly reached out to cover the other person's nose.
Lu Yuanchao originally intended to put the person down, but now he has changed his mind.
He held her like that, and she covered his nose for him—it was nice!
Seeing that he still showed no sign of letting her go, Zhong Yanling became truly anxious.
"Put me down right now, your nose is bleeding."
"It's okay, just cover my nose for me."
"you……"
Jia Liqin was speechless for a moment, and had no choice but to give up.
Lu Yuanchao smiled, feeling extremely happy.
Lu Yuanchao, with his long legs and feet, quickly arrived at the cowshed. Only then did he realize that he had walked too fast.
If we go slower, wouldn't we have more time alone together?
There was no one at the cowshed; even Lu Pingru, who was taking care of her child next door, had tied the child to her body and gone out to work.
Lu Yuanchao reluctantly put the person down.
The other person's wet clothes clung to their body, making it difficult to look directly at them, yet I couldn't help but glance around furtively.
"Um, I...I'll go now."
