Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Still in the Mood to Think About This

But there was a figure that plunged into the water even faster than him.

Splash—

The surface of the river burst into waves once more.

The uncle stared in disbelief as he realized that the germaphobe from the city had actually jumped into the dirty river.

In the river.

By now, Luo Mengmeng had floundered to the middle of the river, and after blowing a couple of bubbles, she began to sink to the bottom.

Just as she was about to sink completely, Gu Zhihan finally arrived, cradling her in his arms, and desperately stuck his head out of the water, “Luo Mengmeng.”

While calling out her name, he swam swiftly towards the bank.

“They’re up!”

“Quick, pull them in!”

As they almost reached the shore, the people on the bank hurriedly pulled Gu Zhihan and Luo Mengmeng out of the water.

“How’s Mengmeng doing, huh?” The uncle, nearly scared out of his wits, immediately stepped forward to ask.

“Didn’t you see she’s already passed out?” Gu Zhihan shot him a cold glance before sharply ordering the crowd, “Step back, I need some space to administer emergency treatment to her.”

Perhaps it was the chill in his voice that instinctively made everyone take a step back.

The uncle was no exception.

Once everyone had retreated, Gu Zhihan immediately laid Mengmeng flat on the ground, knelt down beside her with one knee, and started compressing her chest with his hands, giving her emergency CPR.

Compression, compression, compression!

Gu Zhihan kept pressing while anxiously watching her face for any reaction.

“Hey, is this your idea of rescue? Feeling up a girl’s chest?” The uncle, upon seeing Gu Zhihan’s hands moving over his niece’s chest, flew into a rage, and was about to intervene when someone beside him held him back.

“Are you an idiot? What feeling up, he’s saving a life, you know?”

“Uh… uh… really?”

The uncle, who had just turned eight this year, suddenly looked dumbfounded. Was he behind the times? In this day and age, “feeling up” counts as saving a life?

“So kissing is also saving a life?” The uncle then saw Gu Zhihan bending down and pressing his lips to Luo Mengmeng’s.

“That’s artificial respiration…” someone kindly pointed out to him.

Uncle: “…”

City folks sure know how to play.

After several rounds of emergency treatment, Mengmeng finally woke up.

“Cough, cough, cough…” As soon as she regained consciousness, she coughed non-stop, spitting out all the water she had inhaled into her lungs, even expelling a small fish the length of a thumb.

Uh…

Seeing the fish still wriggling on the grass, everyone couldn’t help but sport a collective deadpan expression.

What do you do when you suddenly want to laugh?

“It’s okay now, it’s okay.” Seeing her coughing so hard she could hardly catch her breath, Gu Zhihan quickly patted her back, comforting her.

“Wu wu…” Luo Meng looked up at him, tears falling instantly as she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck, “Husband, I was so scared just now, really scared…”

“I know, I know.” Having experienced the terror of nearly drowning himself, Gu Zhihan was acutely aware of her fear, “You’re safe now, don’t be afraid.”

He didn’t berate her for bringing it upon herself, but continued to comfort her startled heart, warming her soaking wet head with his hands.

What had happened, had happened; all blame was pointless.

“I wasn’t afraid of drowning, I was afraid that I would die right there and then, never getting another chance to marry you and bear your children…” As soon as she thought of this, Luo Mengmeng burst into even more tears.

“…”

Gu Zhihan’s head was flooded with black lines. At the brink of life and death, she wasn’t worrying about how to get out of the river, but had the leisure to think about this?

He was at a loss for words…
