CHAPTER 241: CHAPTER 241: CALLING SI HUI TO SAVE AUNTIE

Uh, you really never forget about eating, do you!

Mi Jing drew a few black lines in front of her forehead and said to Cancan gloomily, "It’s not food."

"Then what are these? Are they things that Fourth Uncle gave you?" Although Cancan was a bit disappointed, she was still very curious about what was inside those bags.

Because every time Dad gave something to Mom, it was always in these beautiful bags. Whenever Mom unwrapped the gifts, she would always smile happily, just like when receiving her favorite toys or delicious food.

"Yes, all bought by your Fourth Uncle." As Mi Jing spoke, she took out the items from the bags one by one and opened them.

"Wow, this dress looks so pretty."

"The shoes are also very nice."

The two little girls surrounded Mi Jing, continuously exclaiming in admiration, their gaze entirely captivated by the items, completely unaware that their respective puppies had trotted over.

"Auntie, this necklace is also very beautiful, sparkling as if it would glow." Out of curiosity and appreciation, Cancan picked up the necklace embedded with small diamonds from the box, looking left and right. Her eyes were as bright as the diamonds on the necklace.

"Woof woof—"

Meng Meng came to Cancan’s side, eyeing the diamond necklace curiously, sticking out his tongue as if to lick and taste it.

"Meng Meng, this is a necklace, you can’t eat it." Saying this, Cancan took the necklace and dodged Meng Meng’s outstretched tongue. Yet, Meng Meng quickly extended his neck and snatched the necklace into his mouth in one swift motion, catching Cancan completely off guard.

"Meng Meng, you dirtied Auntie’s necklace, spit it out quick." Cancan was anxious, glaring at Meng Meng and shouting.

But Meng Meng didn’t listen to Cancan’s words. Seeming worried that the item in his mouth would be taken back, he started running.

"Meng Meng, come back!"

Without a second’s hesitation, Cancan immediately chased after the puppy, shouting all the way.

Outside there was a swimming pool; compared to the necklace, Mi Jing was more worried about Cancan’s safety, so she followed after, "Cancan, stop chasing the puppy and be careful."

"It’s okay, Cancan runs very fast." Morning exercises weren’t in vain; Cancan did run fast, but catching an agile puppy wasn’t easy.

The puppy seemed to enjoy being chased by Cancan, running in circles around the pool as if teasing her.

"Cancan, stop, don’t run!" Mi Jing saw Cancan running to the poolside and shouted anxiously.

Cancan was determined to retrieve the necklace and didn’t hear Mi Jing’s words, continuing to chase the puppy.

It was noon, and the warm sun quietly cast its light, reflecting dazzlingly in the pool. However, afraid of water, Cancan’s short legs suddenly grew weak seeing the sparkling waves. She stumbled, lost her balance, and with a splash, fell into the pool.

Plop—

Water splashed onto the tiles; Mi Jing saw Cancan fall into the pool and panicked instantly!

"Cancan!"

Mi Jing quickly ran to the poolside, and even Meng Meng seemed to realize the danger. Finally, he stopped running, glanced back, and then ran towards Cancan’s position with the diamond necklace still in his mouth.

In early March, though the sun was shining, it was still quite cold. When Gu Can fell into the water, the first feeling was cold, then the water began flooding into her nose, and she flailed her arms in desperation.

"Cancan!"

Rushing to the poolside, Mi Jing’s heart was in her throat. She quickly reached out, trying to pull Gu Can up, but Gu Can’s small hands were flailing and struggling, making Mi Jing miss her grip.

"Cancan, give me your hand!" Mi Jing half-knelt by the poolside, half of her body suspended above the pool.

"Woof woof—"

Just as Mi Jing finished speaking, Meng Meng’s barking followed immediately. He had placed the diamond necklace on the tiles beside the pool, standing close to Mi Jing, and was barking at Gu Can in the water, seemingly urging her to swim up quickly.

"Meng Meng, don’t make trouble! Go away."

In the urgent moment, Mi Jing reached out again, grabbed Gu Can’s small hand, and pulled her up while also scolding Meng Meng. If it weren’t for him, how could Gu Can have fallen into the pool?

"Cough cough—"

Once on the shore, Gu Can clutched her chest and coughed intensely until she expelled the water, then breathed rapidly. Her big dark eyes were filled with mist, with crystal-like water droplets hanging on her long eyelashes, looking very pitiful and extremely endearing.

"Cancan, how do you feel?" Mi Jing gently patted Gu Can’s back, nervously and concernedly asking.

"I’m fine."

Luckily, Mi Jing pulled Gu Can up in time, so she just choked on a little water. Although Cancan felt somewhat uncomfortable, she was not seriously harmed. Being relatively independent, she didn’t complain, and in order not to worry Mi Jing, she pretended to be nonchalant and shook her head.

"Let’s go inside then." Cancan was drenched and needed a hot bath quickly to avoid catching a cold. Mi Jing moved her feet, intending to carry Gu Can inside, but didn’t notice she stepped on the diamond necklace left by Meng Meng, slipped suddenly, and fell backward.

"Ah!"

The incident happened too suddenly for Mi Jing to prepare herself mentally. She tried to steady herself, but instead staggered uncontrollably backwards, with her right foot stepping on the pool edge, and then her body plunged backward.

Splash—

The moment Mi Jing fell into the water, the splash was so high that some drops splashed onto Gu Can, startling her and making her eyes widen, she yelled, "Auntie!"

"Aunt Mi!"

Xuanxuan came out of the house just in time to see Mi Jing pull Gu Can out of the pool and witnessed Mi Jing’s fall into the water.

"Xuanxuan, what do we do? Auntie fell into the water." Gu Can’s lips shivered, either from cold or fear, her lips turning purplish-red, and her eyes filled with tension and worry.

"..."

Xuanxuan was also at a loss, staring worriedly at Mi Jing in the pool, unable to think of anything, just watching helplessly.

"Xuanxuan, let’s call Fourth Uncle quickly to have him come and save Auntie." Gu Can urged anxiously.

"Okay, I’ll call Uncle. You sit here and don’t move."

Panic-stricken, the two children didn’t even consider the time; as soon as they thought of contacting Shen Lingxing, they acted immediately.

Xuanxuan quickly turned and ran into the house, while Gu Can sat by the pool and was amazed to see Mi Jing’s face emerging from the water.
