She took a few sips of water and struggled to keep her head out of the water. She glanced at the people on the shore with difficulty, the familiar outline, the handsome face, it seemed to be that man. Suddenly, she smiled.
Only now, she didn't know if she could last until he saved her. Perhaps this side would be forever.
On the shore, Gu Mo Cheng stumbled as he rushed over, only to see that her little head was almost submerged in the water. Only her red hair was left floating above the sea, like a thick clump of seaweed tightly tightening around his neck, making him have difficulty breathing.
Hearing him call her, she struggled to get a look at him before she sank again. Seeing that she didn't even want to live anymore, he threw off his jacket and closed his eyes before jumping down.
The sea was his taboo, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to swim. Before he was seven years old, he had always grown up in the Golden Horn. Swimming was his strong point.
And now he sometimes forced himself to swim a few laps. He also hated this weakness of his, so he kept forcing himself to overcome it, but each time he ended up with a headache.
However, he seemed to have forgotten his headache and his taboo towards the sea. He grabbed her pale face from the water and placed it in front of his chest, shouting loudly.
"Mu Yurou! Mu Yurou! Wake up! "
Her small face was pale without a trace of blood. Her rosy red hair that was hanging wet on her forehead looked extremely pathetic and frail. She faintly opened her eyes and muttered a new name.
"Gu — Mo Cheng —"
Then she closed her eyes and fainted in his arms.
"Mu Yurou —"
He shook her unresponsive face, and a trace of pain flashed through his eyes. Carrying her, he swam towards the shore.
After finally getting her ashore, he kept pressing on her chest to squeeze out the seawater that was being poured into her mouth little by little. Then he lowered his head to kiss her cold lips for artificial respiration.
"Cough, cough ~ ~ ~"
After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally coughed up a few mouthfuls of water in pain before faintly opening her eyes.
His entire body was wet, and his expensive shirt was stained with a large amount of soil due to him lying on the ground. His short hair was dripping with water, and drops after drops streaked across his pale and bloodless face.
However, the most unusual thing was his eyes. She could clearly see the worry in his eyes, and maybe a little pain in her heart. She suddenly felt her chest getting sore, and moisture slowly welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Thank you —"
Before she could even finish the word 'thank you', she suddenly saw him hold his head and fall to the ground in pain. She was startled and quickly struggled to sit up.
She stepped forward and gently held his large hand, which was tightly clasped around his head, and asked worriedly,
"Gu Mo City, what happened to you?"
He couldn't have been injured while saving her, right?
He had not expected that he would throw off her hand and yell at her.
"Go away! I'm fine! "
With that, he stood up with much difficulty and staggered forward. At this moment, it was as if someone was ruthlessly knocking on Gu Mo City's head time and time again. The painful memories slowly spread out from the bottom of his heart.
The excessively intense pain caused him to completely lose all rationality, even going insane.
Feeling worried, Mu Yurou quickly followed him and reached out to support him.
"Let me help you!"
In any case, this man had saved her life. She couldn't just stand by and watch as he died, even though his attitude was so vile. She thought about how she had forgiven him just now.
"I told you to go away!"
When he finished, he gave him another shove. The powerful general that was following behind him, Mu Wenwen, was immediately thrown far away. He just stood there blankly as that stubborn man supported himself on the railing and walked forward with difficulty.
After walking for only a few steps, he staggered and fell down while holding onto the railing. Based on Mu Ran's many years of experience as a doctor, he should have fainted.
She quickly took out her phone and wanted to call 120. She thought that since her phone had already been soaked in water, it couldn't be used anymore. She didn't expect that she would still be able to get through to him.
In the hospital, Long Yi and Long Er, who had rushed over after hearing the news, nervously asked her if she was alright with him. She herself was fine. Other than the initial fright and a few gulps of seawater, everything else was fine.
But for him, somehow, he actually lost consciousness after saving her?
However, she had only said a few words before she sneezed a few times. She looked drenched from head to toe, so she quickly took off her national style shawl and draped it over her shoulders.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go home and change? It's easy to catch a cold this way. We'll take care of this place!"
She followed his gaze and lowered her head. Only then did she realize that she was wearing a halter dress, and when she took off the shawl and gave it to her sister-in-law, she revealed large patches of her shoulders.
In addition, her body was originally hot. Now that she had such a figure, it immediately attracted the gazes of the surrounding people, especially from the men. Some of the men even turned around to look when they were far away.
Just as she lowered her head to size herself up, a suit that carried the warmth of a man covered her body in a somewhat gentle manner. Long Er's slightly mocking voice entered her ears …
"Don't embarrass yourself there, what's so good about your figure!"
Long Yi was angered to death by his words. He actually dared to say that her figure was bad? If it wasn't for the public, she would have taken it off to let him see what was so bad about her!
She was a perfect nine-headed beauty. Not to mention the proportions, wherever there was meat, there wasn't even a little bit of fat where there wasn't!
She tore off his coat and was just about to throw it at him angrily when her big beautiful eyes rolled. She suddenly calmed down and grabbed the clothes and frowned as she sniffed for a long time.
"Waiter, why does your clothes smell like a woman? Did you get mixed up in a pile of women last night?" "Aiyah, it's really suffocating, it's giving me a headache!"
As she spoke, she massaged her forehead in an exaggerated manner as if she was about to faint. When she said this, Long Er immediately attracted Mu Ran's surprised gaze, as well as the gazes of the few guards at the entrance of the ward. Their eyes seemed to convey the same message: How could the assistant Long Er Long be such a chaotic person in his private life?
Long Er's face was full of awkwardness, but he couldn't explain it. He hadn't touched a woman in days, much less met one. He had just changed his clothes today, so where did the scent of a woman come from?
Just as he was about to grab his jacket and glance at his subordinates who were constantly glancing at her white shoulders, he suddenly grabbed her shoulder and forcefully put on the suit.
"Even if you don't wear it today, you still have to wear it!"
She had always been the only one to be domineering, unreasonable, and willful in front of him, leaving him no room to speak. This time, he, Long Er, had finally become a bit more unyielding.
Since Long Yi was being tightly held down by him, he had no choice but to struggle and curse at him in anger.
"Long Er, you … shameless!"
She didn't think that this Long Er would actually dare to use force against her. She had always been the one to bully him, but now that he was bullying her like this, she really couldn't swallow this resentment.
On the side, Mu Wenwen saw that if this continued, the two of them would start arguing. The doctor inside was still giving the patient a diagnosis, yet the two of them were still fighting outside? He really didn't know how the boss recruited his employees!
She stepped forward and pulled out the Dragon Intent.
"Long Yi, come with me to stand outside!"
Long Yi glared viciously at Long Er after he saw that Mu Wenwen had stepped forward. He then turned around and followed him out of the ward.
The weather in May was clear and bright. All the plants had started to sprout tender green buds, giving off an exuberant feeling of vitality.
Mu Wenwen tightly wrapped Long Yi's large cape. He felt that his body had been warm for a long time, so she decided not to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Longyi, do you know about the matter between him and Qin Ruoyun?"
He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that it was that woman who kidnapped her this time. Even if it wasn't that woman, she definitely had something to do with it.
