Ye zhiqiao glanced in gu mohan's direction. On the wide lake, there was a row of stone piers about half a meter above the water surface. The surface area could fully accommodate the feet of an adult man standing on it. The row of stone piers went straight to the opposite bank from where she was.
But...
"That's for kids. How old are you?" Ye zhiqiao mercilessly mocked gu mohan.
"I call that childish." Gu mohan narrowed his eyes and smiled. He extended his hand in the direction of ye zhiqiao and invited, "Come on, afraid I'll hold you."
Ye zhiqiao didn't want to go at first. She was not good at water and had mild deep sea phobia. Although it didn't matter if she went to the beach or took a boat, she was still preoccupied. She was afraid that walking on the lake would make her dizzy.
But gu mohan stood there smiling so beautifully that ye zhiqiao could not refuse as she watched him raise his hands in the sun and breeze.
Try it. With gu Mohan around, it won't be a problem.
Ye zhiqiao comforted herself by walking back a few steps and stepping on the stone pier like gu mohan.
On the other side of the river, more than a dozen stone piers have to be crossed recently. For the convenience of the children, the piers are arranged in a very dense manner, so that adults can easily pass through them.
Seeing that ye zhiqiao's expression was finally relaxed, gu mohan smiled slyly and ran a few steps forward quickly, shouting, "I'm waiting for you across the street. Come here quickly!"
"Eh..."
Ye zhiqiao looked at gu mohan's dashing figure, clearly a child who had succeeded in pranking, so she generously let him go.
She bent her lips and smiled, then lowered her head and walked carefully forward.
Everything was normal for the first half of the journey, but when she reached the middle, she suddenly felt her legs soften. Not only was she staring at the lake for too long, but she was still too tense. Her head was so dizzy that the stone pier in front of her eyes had become three or five identical double figures. The foot she had lifted did not know which one to land on.
As she hesitated, gu mohan, who was on the other side of the river, realized her abnormality and quickly asked, "Zhiqiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmm?" When she heard someone calling her name, ye zhiqiao subconsciously looked up. It didn't matter if she raised her head. The sense of balance under her feet disappeared without a trace. She only felt her body shake a few times, and she fell down the stone pier with her screams.
"Plop," after the water calmed down, you could clearly see ye zhiqiao's struggling body.
Before gu mohan had time to think more, he plunged into the lake in the midst of the surrounding screams and swam in the direction of ye zhiqiao with all his strength.
Ye zhiqiao really didn't know how to swim at all. In her panic and fear, she only knew how to struggle. The process consumed too much of her strength, and she choked on a lot of water in her nose and mouth. Before gu mohan could swim over, her eyes were dark and she fainted.
"Zhiqiao... Ye zhiqiao..."
Gu mohan called out her name as he gasped. Seeing that she did not respond and that her body was slowly sinking under the force of gravity, he quickly dived into the water and walked through the small fry that were scurrying around in fear, grabbing her arm which was naturally lifted by the buoyancy of the water.
Unable to speak in the water, he leaned close to ye zhiqiao from behind, holding her waist in one hand and lifting her chin in the other.
After surfacing, the park security team also happened to drive a small boat to come, a few staff members on the boat together to pull ye zhiqiao and gu mohan onto the boat.
"Zhiqiao! Wake up... Wake up, ah zhiqiao!" Gu mohan could not care less about the dripping clothes and pants. He half-knelt on the ground and patted ye zhiqiao's face anxiously. Seeing that she was still motionless, he took a deep breath, pinched her nose against her mouth, and gave her a breath.
Repeated a few times, ye zhiqiao's mouth gushed out a lot of choking water into the lake, but he still did not wake up.
Just as gu mohan was about to continue cpr on her, the boat came ashore. The emergency personnel informed by the crowd immediately checked ye zhiqiao's vital signs and then carried her to the ambulance.
Gu mohan followed her into the car and forgot about his wet clothes. He sat directly in the seat next to ye zhiqiao's cart, holding her hand and talking to her constantly.
Seeing that he was nervous, the emergency doctor comforted him, "Don't worry. There's nothing serious after the examination."
"Then why haven't you woken up yet?" Gu mohan asked anxiously.
"Ah, this..." The doctor paused and said with some difficulty, "In the future, you should not learn from the tv series. For people who drown, you should check the situation before deciding whether to give artificial respiration, or the result may be counterproductive. Her coma has something to do with choking on water and improper artificial respiration..."
"...
The doctor stopped at the right time and faced gu mohan, who was feeling guilty and remorseful. He felt it was better not to say the rest.
Soon, ye zhiqiao was sent to the hospital. After the first aid was completed, she was pushed back to the ward by the nurse.
Gu mohan followed her all the way. After the nurse told him to leave, he finally had a chance to take a good look at ye zhiqiao.
Sitting on the chair, he carefully held ye zhiqiao's hand, blaming himself to the point of madness.
The reason why ye zhiqiao had an accident was completely his responsibility. He had to take ye zhiqiao to the garden, to see the fish, to let her walk on the stone pier without waiting for her, and to do artificial respiration for her after saving her. It was all his fault, it was all his fault.
Fortunately, the doctor said that ye zhiqiao had no big problem and would soon wake up. Otherwise, he would hate himself to death!
"Mr. Gu..."
At this moment, the nurse who had just left came back. Gu mohan still stared at ye zhiqiao and asked, "What?"
"That... Mr. Gu, every time you come to our hospital, you use the vip ward, so the hospital system has made a detailed record of your situation, you..."
"Get to the point." Gu mohan interrupted her impatiently, because she kept nagging here, which might disturb ye zhiqiao.
The nurse responded weakly and said in a low voice, "Just over half an hour ago, an old man was admitted to the hospital. He seemed to be your father, so the director sent me here..."
"Who are you talking about?!" Gu mohan turned around abruptly, "My father?"
"Yes." The nurse nodded earnestly.
Gu mohan glanced at ye zhiqiao, got up and pulled the nurse out of the ward, asking nervously, "Are you sure it's my father? Why does he live here?"
The nurse shook her head, "That's what the director in charge of Mr. Gu said. We are not a department, so about you..."
Before he could finish, gu mohan was already running towards the elevator.
