Chapter 69 Being short has its advantages. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
Su Lingyu was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale.
Huo Yan was extremely anxious and forced himself to stand up. However, without the support of crutches, his body was like a damaged machine and it was difficult for him to react quickly.
Wang Yu was still behind him, and he couldn't jump over the wall of people to protect Su Lingyu.
At the critical moment, a figure rushed towards Su Lingyu quickly, and his cool big hands clasped her neck, holding her tightly in his arms, and used his back to block the falling water tank for her in time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The water tank smashed to the ground, water flowed all over the floor, and live fish and shrimps fell to the ground and jumped around.
The girl's childish, panicked and frightened cry suddenly broke out, and she cried in fits and starts.
A lot of water splashed on Su Lingyu's hair and body, but she was well protected and was not hit by the water tank.
She was still in a state of panic, holding onto the man's collar with both hands. She was just wondering who had saved her when she heard a familiar chuckle: "Being short has its advantages. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
Gu Yanying? She raised her head in disbelief and met a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.
The system shouted anxiously: [Host, are you okay? ]
Su Lingyu came to her senses and said, [I'm fine...]
The system was very angry: [It's all the fault of that fishmonger. He thought you were pretty and kept peeking at you! When he passed by you with his cart, he saw that you were so absorbed in watching that he almost bumped into the crying little girl! ]
[The little girl's mother was scared to death. In a hurry, she turned around while holding the child, and her back accidentally hit the white plastic water tanks piled on the cart, which caused you, the host, to be almost hit. ]
[If Gu Yanying hadn't reacted quickly and rushed over to protect the host, the host would have been in terrible trouble! Wuwuwuwu...]
While crying, the system suddenly asked in confusion: [Wait! Host, is there something wrong with Gu Yanying? Why would he save you? Is the helpful villain's character broken? ]
Su Lingyu didn't understand either, and her confused mind was also thinking about this question.
"Xiao Su, are you okay?"
Jiang Yufeng rushed over quickly, pulled Su Lingyu aside, and asked and looked.
After being pulled by her, Su Lingyu finally realized that she was still half-hugged by Gu Yanying.
She struggled, and Gu Yanying let her go immediately with an obvious smile in his eyes.
So many water tanks fell on him just now, but he seemed to feel no pain at all and even had the mind to tease her?
Su Lingyu was speechless and glared at him.
"Look at your hair and body, there's water all over." Jiang Yufeng took out a handkerchief from her trouser pocket with concern, and wiped the water off her hair and arms while turning to say to the fishmonger pushing the cart, "Comrade, your water tank is piled so high, isn't it too dangerous?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The fishmonger was also scared enough, and felt sorry for the fish and shrimps that fell on the ground, but he didn't dare to offend anyone, so he apologized vigorously.
Su Lingyu frowned and looked at the fishmonger unhappily: "Just tell me you're sorry?"
The fishmonger's forehead was covered with sweat. He smiled and stammered, "Then I'll pay, pay..."
"What are you paying for? Money? How can I care about your little money?" Su Lingyu pointed at the crying girl with a sullen face and said unhappily, "There was another person who was scared there. Have you apologized to them?!"
The child cries twice, so what is the point of saying sorry to the child?
The fishmonger was not convinced, but he immediately bowed and apologized, saying to the little girl, "I'm sorry, little girl."
The girl's mother looked at Su Lingyu with surprise and gratitude, but looked at the fishmonger with disgust. She frowned and said, "Eyes have to work on your face too! Pushing so many things, look at the road when you walk next time, don't be distracted!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The fishmonger wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced secretly at Su Lingyu.
Seeing Su Lingyu snorted and stopped looking at him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, he was really scared.
The girl in the cheongsam is pretty and delicate, and looks like a daughter from a wealthy family. If she gets hurt, how many lives will he have to pay?
Shocked and frightened, he relaxed at the same time. He was picking up fish while muttering to himself, his words were a little confusing: "Luckily I didn't hit a woman. It was a man, so I couldn't hurt him even if I hit him a few more times!"
Jiang Yufeng heard it, and stopped her hand that was wiping Su Lingyu's hair, and looked at Gu Yanying.
...She was so focused on caring for Su Lingyu that she seemed to have forgotten about her newly adopted nephew.
But he was the one who actually smashed the water tank.
Jiang Yufeng felt guilty.
Gu Yanying didn't care at all. She smiled and shook her head at her, indicating that she was fine.
He even took out a clean handkerchief from his trouser pocket, bent one knee, half-knelt on the ground and wiped the water that splashed on Su Lingyu's white calves.
Jiang Yufeng's eyes were filled with surprise, and for a moment, she seemed to understand something.
After Su Lingyu had finished beating the fishmonger, she started complaining to the system about this unprovoked disaster. Her heart was beating so hard that she still hadn't recovered yet.
Until her wrist was held by a broad and warm hand, she lowered her eyes and met Huo Yan's calm phoenix eyes, and immediately a feeling of grievance surged into her heart.
"I almost got hit!" Her eyes turned red, she was angry and scared, her voice was tinged with tears, "You didn't come with me and protect me!"
"I will next time." Huo Yan said in a deep voice.
"Are you sure?"
"Um."
Huo Yan quietly pulled her wrist and took her away from Gu Yanying. He told Wang Yu, "Take her to the car first and let her rest."
Then he asked Jiang Yufeng, "Doctor Jiang, Lingyu is frightened. Please help her and comfort her."
Wang Yu immediately said: "Yes!"
Jiang Yufeng also nodded quickly, her kind eyes full of heartache: "I will, I will."
She hugged Su Lingyu tenderly and patted her shoulder.
After this accident, Su Lingyu didn't want to stay in the vegetable market anymore. She leaned against Jiang Yufeng obediently and walked out with weak steps.
Gu Yanying was half-crouching on the ground holding a half-wet handkerchief, left hanging there.
He looked at Su Lingyu's slim figure as she left, his eyes calm, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded in his ears.
"Stay away from her."
Gu Yanying's eyes gradually turned cold. She turned her head and met Huo Yan's eyes full of warning.
He was smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He asked calmly, "I'll stay away from her. Can you, a man with a broken leg, protect her?"
…
As soon as Su Lingyu got in the car, she began to complain about her wet clothes and her hair that smelled of fish.
Her shoes were also wet, so she untied the laces and threw them aside, unwilling to wear them again.
It was so dirty and smelly, she was really about to cry!
The car door suddenly opened, Huo Yan got in, and looked at her with his eyes wide open: "You're wet, are you still going to Dr. Jiang's house? Do you want to go home and take care of it?"
Su Lingyu said, of course: "Go home!"
She can't wait to take a bath!
Wash thoroughly from head to toe.
Jiang Yufeng advised from the front: "It takes you more than half an hour to go home, but it only takes two minutes to go to my house. You can take a shower and change into clean clothes at my house, which will be faster. I have a new cotton-padded jacket there that you have never worn before. It may not look good, but it will definitely be comfortable to wear."
...The same is true.
Su Lingyu looked at Huo Yan and nodded: "Then go."
"Okay." Huo Yan knew her delicate nature and had expected that she would not be able to bear it, but his voice was a little strong, "I have spare clothes in the car, you can wear mine."
