Chapter 316: Chapter 317: Falling into Water

Translator: 549690339

The dragon boat race started soon.

The sound of the boat drums pierced through everyone’s eardrums.

The dragon boats, like arrows released from a bow, all rushed out together.

The spectators along the riverbank exploded with excitement.

Everyone began cheering for their favorite dragon boat teams.

In particular, everyone ran alongside the river, following the direction of the dragon boats as they set off.

Though Xia Yangyang’s group wasn’t numerous.

They were not few, either.

Xia Yangyang and her companions, sandwiched in the middle, could only go with the crowd’s flow.

All of their attention was focused on the dragon boat teams and the race.

Suddenly, they heard a splash.

Then, someone shouted, “Someone fell into the water!”

Looking towards the water, Xia Yangyang noticed the person that fell was Han Xiaomei.

Because someone fell into the water, the crowd’s focus shifted to that spectacle.

Everyone began to get worried.

However, the riverbank was high, with no steps leading into the water and was quite far from the edge, even for a swimmer, to jump in and climb back up would be difficult.

Xia Yangyang was unbelievably anxious.

Sister Xiaomei had only been at their side, nowhere near the edge.

How did she suddenly fall in?

Perhaps she was just pushed in by the excited crowd.

After falling into the water, Han Xiaomei thrashed around, sinking and rising, screaming for help.

Xia Yangyang became increasingly frantic.

She grabbed Gu Qichen’s arm, “What should we do? What should we do? Ah

Chen, you must go and save her.”

Xia Yangyang knew Gu Qichen was an excellent swimmer.

There was an outdoor swimming pool in Gu’s garden.

Xia Yangyang had seen Gu Qichen swimming in it before.

His skills were at the level of a professional athlete.

Yet, Gu Qichen didn’t move, only furrowing his brows.

Xia Yangyang watched as Han Xiaomei was about to sink beneath the water’s surface.

The people around just pointed and commented, yet no one seemed willing to jump in and save her.

Unable to wait any longer, Xia Yangyang took off her shoes, preparing to jump in.

Before she even finished taking off her shoes, Gu Qichen had seized her arm, “What are you doing?”

“Regardless, we can’t just stand by and watch someone die, I can swim, don’t worry.”

With a grave expression, Gu Qichen glanced once more at the person in the water.

Then he turned to Xia Yangyang, “Never mind, you stay here, I’ll go save her.”

Grateful that Gu Qichen was willing to jump in, Xia Yangyang watched him.

But Gu Qichen took his time, slowly removing his shoes and clothes, Xia Yangyang was almost dying of anxiety watching him.

Han Xiaomei, in the water, kept struggling; soon only her hands were visible.

If things continued like this, even if she was saved, she might have drowned.

In the end, Gu Qichen dove into the water with an impressively graceful leap.

It took only a few minutes before Gu Qichen brought Han Xiaomei to the shore.

A group of people helped pull her up.

At that time, Han Xiaomei had indeed drowned and was unconscious.

Xia Yangyang was on the verge of a total panic.

Grabbing Gu Qichen’s hand, she pleaded, “Ah Chen, you must save her, save her, what should we do now?”

Keeping his cool, Gu Qichen asked the bystanders, “Does anyone know how to perform CPR?”

Most of the people around were older residents of Lai Shui Town.

CPR was a term they had never even heard.

Looking around, Gu Qichen spotted a shabby looking homeless man picking up cigarette butts by the riverside.

Gu Qichen handed him a few hundred dollars, “Help me with something, this is your payment.”

Seeing the money, the homeless man’s eyes lit up.

Gu Qichen actually taught him how to perform CPR on Han Xiaomei.

After patiently demonstrating twice, Gu Qichen explained in detail and the homeless man, being rather clever, quickly learned.

He started following the steps Gu Qichen had just taught him.

After a little while, Han Xiaomei came to..
