CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 422: FALLING INTO THE WATER (SECOND UPDATE)

The man in the white shirt?

No need to guess, it’s Mo Siyu.

Qin Anhao rarely enters the hutongs, and last time Yu Zhaodi visited, it happened to be when Mo Siyu came to see her.

"Yes." Tang Yue nodded, a hint of happiness sparkling in her eyes as she spoke softly with a tender smile, "He’s my fiancé, Mo Siyu."

"Xiao Yue, it’s actually quite surprising that you got engaged so early," Yu Zhaodi said casually, chatting with Tang Yue.

Lian Qingyang, who was taking photos nearby, heard Yu Zhaodi’s words and agreed, "Sister Xiao Yue, I also think you’re engaged too early."

This sister, he hadn’t had enough time with her yet, and now she’s going to belong to someone else.

Tang Yue gave him a stern look, then with a smile, explained to Yu Zhaodi, "Our relationship is very good."

"If it weren’t for Xiao Yue’s age, this engagement would probably turn into a marriage, right?" Bai Qing teased. Given how often Mo Siyu came to see Tang Yue whenever he was free, especially bringing her over to repay the favor and protect Tang Yue, it’s clear how protective Mo Siyu is of Tang Yue.

A blush tinged Tang Yue’s cheeks when she heard herself described, as Mo Siyu was indeed eager to get married. If not for her age, he would probably have dragged her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate by now.

Lian Qingyang stopped fiddling with his camera and approached, saying, "Sister Xiao Yue, when will I get to meet him?"

Lately, he’s been very busy, or it has been Mo Siyu who was busy.

By the time Lian Qingyang received the news and rushed over, Mo Siyu had already left.

Lian Qingyang had only seen photos. In the photos, Mo Siyu in his white shirt looked very dignified and handsome. Standing next to Sister Xiao Yue, they unexpectedly matched well.

But, Lian Qingyang didn’t have even a tiny bit of a good impression of this man who was stealing his sister away.

"You busy man, do you have time?" Tang Yue asked Lian Qingyang sharply, " By the way, what have you been busy with lately? Apart from your classes, I hardly see you."

Last year, Lian Qingyang was almost always by her side, swinging around. This year, since the school term started, except for the first little while when Lian Qingyang would come over often, Tang Yue would think there was no such person as Lian Qingyang.

"Top secret," Lian Qingyang said proudly, his lips curved up high, "Sister Xiao Yue, you’ll know when the time comes."

"Still keeping secrets?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but chuckle, knowing Lian Qingyang’s childish nature, she didn’t say much.

"Sister Xiao Yue, we should continue climbing upwards. At this rate, who knows when we’ll reach the mountain top," Lian Qingyang changed the topic.

Tang Yue nodded, planning to continue climbing to the mountain top where Sister An Yu was waiting for her.

The students from Jinghua University have begun climbing the mountain top successively. Many who couldn’t continue found a clean spot to sit and rest.

Xitan Waterfall is beautiful. Many students continued to linger here.

"Trouble, someone has fallen into the water!" Suddenly, someone screamed.

Below the Xitan Waterfall, there is a very deep pool. The water is bottomless and under the sunlight, it looks lushly green.

When Tang Yue and her friends heard the call for help, they were close by, in the next waterfall, the tallest one.

In the deep pool, a girl can be seen flailing in the water, clearly unable to swim. Her hands desperately clutch at her surroundings but, regrettably, there’s nothing but water around her. Instead of moving towards the shore, she flails towards a farther place.

"I can’t swim."

"Does anyone know how to swim?"

The onlookers, all girls, are startled by the scene. At this moment, mostly girls are here while the boys, being stronger, have climbed to the mountain top.

Now it’s spring, the water is still cold, not to mention the waterfall’s water is even colder. No one dares to jump in to rescue.

Although Tang Yue doesn’t consider herself a saint, she knows how to swim and couldn’t bear not to save someone drowning.

"Xiao Yue, what are you doing?" Bai Qing sees Tang Yue taking off her jacket and immediately grabs her, stopping her: "No, you can’t go into the water. The pond’s depth is unknown, and she just fell in when struggling fiercely. Do you know how to save someone?"

"But if no one saves her, she will die." Tang Yue looks at the girl in the pond, unable to watch a young woman die before her eyes.

Lian Qingyang steps back, saying, "I can’t, I don’t know how to swim."

Although Lian Qingyang lives in Sea City by the sea, he had a near-drowning experience as a child that led to an intense fear of water, and he has never learned to swim since.

"I’ll go." Bai Qing takes off her clothes, she wouldn’t bother if Tang Yue wasn’t going to save the girl.

"Sister Qing, let me do it." Tang Yue also takes off her jacket, ready to dive in to save the person.

But Bai Qing is quicker, plunging into the water to perform the rescue.

Bai Qing is a very good swimmer and knows how to rescue someone in water without pulling herself in too.

She grabs the drowning person from behind, passing an arm through the girl’s armpit and holding her tightly, preventing the girl from flipping over and clutching onto Bai Qing.

After securing the girl, Bai Qing swims back to the shore holding her sideways. Tang Yue is already there waiting, along with Lian Qingyang, pulling the girl ashore.

"Sister Qing, come up quick," Tang Yue pulls Bai Qing’s hand. The pond water is icy and cold.

Bai Qing’s hand is ice cold, her body soaked.

"It’s very cold, isn’t it?" Tang Yue helps Bai Qing up and quickly puts their jackets on her, saying, "Sister Qing, I’ll escort you down the mountain."

"No," Bai Qing refuses, handing back Tang Yue’s jacket: "It will be cold on the mountain top, I’m fine."

"No way, you have to change clothes, or you will catch a cold." Tang Yue insists and takes out a scarf from her backpack to wipe Bai Qing’s face.

Meanwhile, the rescued girl gains consciousness, her eyes blurry with tears, thanking Bai Qing. The girl is fully drenched, shivering, her pale face framed with wet hair, unclear whether marked with tears or water.

Everyone chatters, urging them to head back after such a major incident, and park personnel soon arrive.

Bai Qing and the girl are insisted upon by the park personnel to be escorted down, thus Bai Qing has no choice but to leave. Tang Yue wanted to go along, but Bai Qing, adamant, says, "Xiao Yue, Qin Anyu is still waiting for you at the mountain top. Go have fun, I’ll go home and change."

"Lian Qingyang, take good care of your Sister Xiao Yue." Bai Qing’s gaze settles on Lian Qingyang, who’s capable, and considering it’s a group activity, she trusts there won’t be mishaps.
