A brave female educated youth called out to him:
"Captain Liu, these are the pickles I made myself. Thank you for your help in building the dam."
As she finished speaking, the girl's cheeks were already flushed. She bent down, picked up the basket on the ground and handed it to him, but her eyes were only fixed on the ground.
Liu Yuzhou didn't reach for the basket or look up. He slowly wiped the spoon in his hand with a handkerchief before saying, "You're welcome. It's my job. I'm allergic to pickled foods. You can give it to another comrade."
The tone was polite yet distant, and the rejection was obvious.
The basket in the female educated youth's hand froze in mid-air, and her cheeks immediately turned red as if burning.
Last time, Li Cuicui, the most beautiful girl at the educated youth point, was rejected in person. She even gloated over it, thinking that Liu Yuzhou was not a superficial man who only looked at appearance.
Now it was her turn to be rejected on the spot and she realized how painful it was.
It turns out that he doesn't like the hardworking and virtuous type either.
The atmosphere was awkward, making the exclamations from a distance particularly loud:
"Someone fell into the water!"
"Over there!"
"Further down is the reservoir. If you rush in, even gods can't save you!"
"Who can swim? Save them!"
There were many people who could swim, but no one dared to go down to save the man.
Not far away is a dam reservoir under construction, which is about fifty or sixty meters deep. People who are not strong enough or good at swimming will not only fail to save others, but may also lose their own lives.
While everyone was hesitating, a tall figure jumped into the river.
In the river, Meng Zhen was searching for a suitable place to go ashore.
I noticed the exclamations coming from the river bank, weren't they coming towards me?
In a flash, she closed her eyes, thrashed around in the water, and acted out the struggle of a drowning person vividly.
Sure enough, after a while, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her chest and swam her towards the shore.
Amidst the rushing water, she did not forget to secretly lift her eyelids to look at her savior, but she only saw a cold and hard profile.
Since he can jump into the water to save someone, he must be a good person. She decided to continue pretending to be unconscious.
After getting ashore, Liu Yuzhou laid the person flat on the cobblestones on the shore. He reached out and wiped the water droplets off his face twice. Only then did he notice that the person in front of him was only wearing a thin white shirt. He was now soaked all over. The thin fabric was clinging to his body, and the scenery inside was almost visible.
Further up, the woman's wet hair stuck to her face, covering most of her facial features. The collar of her clothes had long been washed open by the water, and large areas of her skin were exposed to the air, dazzlingly white.
Seeing everyone gathering around the woman on the ground, he moved his tall body slightly, imperceptibly blocking the woman's view. He then turned to Wang Li and said, "Bring me some clothes!"
It was not until the clothes were handed to him and the loose engineering suit wrapped the woman tightly like a quilt that he turned his body to the side.
He had just checked his breath and found that he was still breathing. He must have fainted from exhaustion.
The water in the dam is freezing cold, and no one can stand soaking in it for such a long time.
"Let's send him to the clinic quickly!" someone suggested.
"Yes! Let Dr. Zhang take a look."
Many of the men watching were eager to try. They might not be able to swim, but they could certainly try their best, especially since the girl was so delicate.
A group of big men, their eyes fell on the woman without concealment. Liu Yuzhou thought of the woman's wet body, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked her up:
"Let me do it."
Meng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he held her in his arms.
Her nose is very sensitive to smells. Just now, a group of people gathered around her, and all kinds of smells filled the air around her, which was really uncomfortable.
But the man holding her was different. He smelled particularly pleasant, like the scent of pine trees in an empty mountain after a recent rain, clear, refreshing and deep.
Meng Zhen was overjoyed. Wasn't this the person he had been searching for, the one who could crack his special physique?!
She sniffed, pressing her face closer to the man's chest, wanting to take in more of the scent.
Her slight movement still caught the man's attention.
His cold gaze swept towards the person in the chest.
The sharp gaze made it impossible for her to pretend to be dizzy. Her watery eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
All I could see was the man's broad chest, his soaked vest still brimming with moisture. My gaze moved upwards, sweeping across his prominent Adam's apple and his cold, slender jaw.
She looked at the man in front of her unscrupulously.
Until a low warning sounded:
"When you wake up, come down and walk by yourself."
“Cough cough… cough…”
Meng Zhen was so frightened that he started coughing.
The strong smell of cold pine rushed into her nose, and her body could not bear it for a moment, becoming extremely soft. She could only curl up weakly on the man's chest, unconsciously acting a little coquettishly:
"My whole body aches and I have no strength left."
Liu Yuzhou lowered his eyes and caught the woman's appearance at the moment, which seemed both coquettish and angry.
Especially those wet eyes with upturned corners, when they look at you, they are charming and captivating.
He was shocked. How could this woman be exactly the same as the one in his dream?
As a scientist, he never believed in any fallacies or heresies, but the face in his arms was obviously something that could not be explained by scientific theories.
He frowned slightly, and his deep gaze fell on the woman's beautiful and charming face again.
After being warned, Meng Zhen became much more well-behaved. He snuggled up in the man's arms and didn't dare to make any small movements.
Looking at the woman in his arms who was as obedient as a kitten, Liu Yuzhou averted his gaze, but the cold and distant atmosphere still lingered between them.
Meng Zhen clearly felt that the man in front of him was in a bad mood, and the cold pine smell at the tip of his nose was gradually fading.
Emotions affect the body, and body odor will change accordingly. The air pressure around this man is now very low.
Didn't I provoke him?
Meng Zhen was a little uneasy. She tilted her head upwards and tried to catch something from the man's cold expression, but unfortunately she got nothing.
"arrive."
The man's cold and hard voice was a little tired, and then he put the person in his arms on a wooden chair against the wall.
The pleasant smell of cold pine suddenly disappeared, but Meng Zhen's body did not recover immediately.
After losing her support, she leaned limply against the wooden chair, trying to regulate her breathing.
After she adjusted herself, she straightened up and looked at the man opposite her again.
The man was half leaning against the wall, his eyes were deep, the corners of his lips were pressed into a straight line, and he looked very oppressive.
Meng Zhen came to a conclusion: He is handsome, but he is definitely not someone to be messed with.
Liu Yuzhou seemed to sense something, raised his eyes and met his gaze, his sharp gaze shooting straight at him.
Meng Zhen instantly had the illusion that he was being firmly locked by a large beast. His heartbeat continued to soar, and his slender white hands suddenly grasped the corner of his clothes.
After a few seconds, the man withdrew his gaze and his tall figure disappeared at the door.
This man is really defensive.
The moment they looked at each other, Meng Zhen thought she had met an undercover police officer, and she was the suspected target, about to face a cruel and severe interrogation.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the end.
Her violently beating heart returned to normal, she loosened the corner of her clothes and reached out to tighten the coat around her shoulders.
