Chapter 274 Arrogant Delusion
When Yun Chen lifted the woad to the surface of the water, the patrol team of the Beijing Army just arrived. They quickly took the woad and wrapped the person in a cloak.
Yun Chen immediately turned around and went back to rescue Su Zhengyang who was about to sink to the bottom.
After all, Su Zhengyang could swim and knew some water rescue techniques. He suppressed his instinct to survive and did not struggle too much.
But in order to prevent accidents, Yun Chen still adopted the same posture as when he saved Song Lan and hugged Su Zhengyang from behind.
Su Zhengyang was tall and broad-shouldered, not as slender and petite as Song Lan. Yun Chen had some difficulty holding him. His body was pressed against his back, but he still couldn't hug his entire chest.
After the two of them surfaced, Su Zhengyang coughed and gasped violently. Although he was limp and had no strength left, he still broke free from Yun Chen's hand and supported each other with Yun Chen.
Yun Chen didn't think much about it. He just thought that this noble young man was too proud to show off and didn't want to look bad in front of so many people.
As soon as she and Su Zhengyang climbed ashore, they fell to the ground exhausted and gasped for breath, and immediately two cloaks were put on them.
Everyone chattered with concern and consciously left some space for the two to rest.
On the other side, Song Lan, who had completely regained consciousness, covered her chest with her hands, her hair disheveled, and she almost bit her silver teeth to pieces. She glared at Yun Chen with eyes full of hatred and said to Su Zhengyang:
"Brother! Kill him! Kill this shameless villain!"
The onlookers naturally knew what woad was referring to, and they all tried to dissuade him:
"Oh, we have to make decisions in an emergency! General Yun didn't mean it!"
"Which is more important, saving lives or this? When you're on the verge of death in the water, who can care about these things?"
"That's right, General Yun was almost dragged to death by you! How dangerous!"
"How can you treat your savior like this? It's really disheartening!"
The noises around her continued, and Song Lan felt dizzy. All the grievances, anger, and shame... surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
When Songlan started crying, everyone around her became quiet and no one knew what to say.
Yun Chen collapsed on the ground exhausted, listening to everything but completely lacking the strength to get up and explain. He could only kick Su Zhengyang, who was lying dead next to him, and said weakly:
"Hey, go take care of your sister."
Su Zhengyang slowly got up, but did not immediately go to the wicker. Instead, he lowered his eyes and looked at Yunchen:
He is tall, but shorter and thinner than the average man.
Because it was soaked, Yun Chen's hair was a little loose, covering his palm-sized face, giving him the aura of a beauty with black hair and fair skin.
The bloodstain across her cheek was bleeding slightly, making her look more fragile and lovable.
People say that General Yun has a feminine aura and is "Long Yang".
But I didn't expect that there was a beautiful jade under the military uniform.
Su Zhengyang recalled what he said before the competition?
A showdown?
Well, now we can really tell who is the better.
Yun Chen didn't know that when he was saving Su Zhengyang in the water just now, his chest was pressed too close to Su Zhengyang's back, which had already alarmed Su Zhengyang.
She was so tired that she lay on the ground and didn't want to move, but even with her eyes closed she could feel a pair of eyes looking at her from head to toe, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She opened her eyes and met Su Zhengyang's complicated gaze.
Not knowing what this guy was up to, Yun Chen was too lazy to care. He sat up with great effort, stretched out his hand towards Su Zhengyang, and said weakly:
"Give me a hand."
Su Zhengyang glanced at the delicate little hand that was barely big enough to hold, but instead of reaching out to pull it, he simply pulled off his cloak and threw it on Yun Chen. Then, leaving behind a few words, he turned and walked towards Song Lan:
"I lost, I admit it."
There were applause and cheers from all around, not because Yun Chen won the competition, but because they praised Yun Chen's bravery in saving people from the water.
Yun Chen thought that Su Zhengyang was angry again like Song Lan, so he withdrew his hand angrily and cursed inwardly, "Two heartless bastards." Then he wiped the water off his face with Su Zhengyang's cloak, endured the pain all over his body, climbed up, and went to look for Mo Mo among the crowd.
The young eunuch brought the ferret to Yun Chen.
Yun Chen lifted the ferret up, rubbed its head gently with his forehead, and said lovingly:
"Little Coal Ball, I won. I made you feel vented. Are you happy?"
The snow ferret had confused eyes and struggled slightly, it didn't seem to understand what Yun Chen was saying at all, and it was nothing like the spiritual energy it used to have.
Yun Chen looked heartbroken:
"Mo Mo! Is your brain in your tail? Did you get stepped on and become stupid?!"
The snow ferret in front of him did not respond, but another identical snow ferret jumped out from the crowd, barking at Yun Chen, gesturing with its little paws to express its great dissatisfaction.
Yun Chen looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Zhi Luo, who had hurried over after hearing the sound with a worried look on his face, and a dozen other female officials.
Next to Zhiluo, Momo stood with his arms folded, wearing a walnut-sized official hat specially made for the palace, holding a small dried fish in his mouth, looking at Yunchen very unhappily.
Looking left and right, Yun Chen finally realized that he had mistakenly identified "Diao" and wronged Su Zhengyang...
"Oh, I really..." Yun Chen grabbed Zhen Momo and kissed and bit her, "Momo, you look so ordinary, it's not my fault..."
Momo squeaked and hit Yunchen with his little paw, as if to say, "You can be stupid, but don't take me with you."
Zhi Luo first looked at Yun Chen carefully. Seeing that she was fine except for being tired and having a bloodstain on her cheek, she went to see Gu Songlan with other female officials.
Yun Chen also picked up the fake Mo Mo, walked in front of Song Lan and Su Zhengyang, and said a little embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, I'm wrong. I wronged you. I apologize."
Su Zhengyang took the fake Momo, and his fingers accidentally touched Yun Chen's hand. He immediately withdrew his hands as if on fire, his cheeks flushed slightly, he didn't dare to look up, and his voice was a little strange:
"It's okay. You saved us. It's more than even."
Song Lan stared at Su Zhengyang in disbelief, not understanding why her brother suddenly changed his temper. She said in a tearful voice:
"Brother! Yun Chen is such a despicable villain! He has harassed me time and again! You should avenge me! How can we be even?!"
Su Zhengyang didn't know how to explain.
Yun Chen is a woman, and it is obvious that she and Huo Gannian like each other, so it is absolutely impossible for her to flirt with Song Lan.
Everything can only be Isandra's arrogant imagination.
He couldn't say anything, he could only sigh and coax:
"Stop making trouble. I'll go back with you to rest."
Unexpectedly, even her brother didn't support her anymore. Song Lan's nose felt sore and tears fell. She glanced at the crowd of people who were pointing and talking.
The noble ladies in the Beijing circle who had laughed at her behind her back in the past and would look down on her even more in the future glanced at Zhi Luo who was pretending to care about her but actually brought all the female officials to laugh at her.
Finally, she set her eyes on Yun Chen's face, gritted her teeth, and stared at Yun Chen with eyes full of hatred, then grabbed the snow ferret from Su Zhengyang's hand and threw it to the ground.
The ferret howled, blood came out of its mouth and nose, and soon it died.
This action was so sudden that everyone was startled.
After Yun Chen reacted, he immediately covered Mo Mo's eyes.
"Good boy, let's not look at it——"
