Chapter 21: Diving Down to Rescue
As they walked and talked, they gradually approached the pure and lovely beauty Tang Xue, and upon closer inspection of her appearance, they found that she looked even more like her sister Tang Shuang.
Tang Xue took a few photos with a female companion, then handed the camera to another female companion and ran to the lake shore. She stood on a rock over 1.5 meters high, facing away from the water, with a sweet smile on her face, constantly changing poses, letting that female companion take a few more photos of herself.
Tang Xue struck a series of very cute and enticing poses, her movements were incredibly beautiful to watch. Ye Zhuang stared intently, his heart itching with desire, and he couldn't help but exclaim "tsk tsk" in admiration several times, sighing: "Truly beautiful! Who knows who will be lucky enough to marry one of the two sisters in the future."
"Ah, the two sisters are each unique in their own way, with equal beauty." In his past life, Ye Han had many lovely ladies by his side, each one a stunning beauty. However, based on his feelings, among the beauties he met in this world, Tang Shuang and Tang Xue, the two sisters, were the most beautiful of them all, the most stunning of the stunners. Therefore, when he heard Ye Zhuang's words, he deeply agreed with him.
"Beauty is the same, but..." Ye Zhuang's eyes stared straight at Tang Xue, his face infatuated: "Compared to the two sisters, although they are both national disasters, I like Tang Xue a bit more!"
"Why?" Ye Han asked casually.
Ye Zhuang said: "Tang Shuang has a elegant and noble temperament, making people feel that they can only admire from afar, but cannot get close to her. Tang Xue is innocent and lovely, pure and cute, making it easy for people to get close to her. In our school, although Tang Shuang is the school flower, in terms of popularity, I'm afraid Tang Xue has more. Alas, if I had a girlfriend like that, I'd be willing to lose 30 pounds in a month!"
"Want her to be your girlfriend? Then go for it! Such a beautiful girl, she must be the target of many boys. If you act late, I'm afraid someone will snatch her away!"
"Hey, big brother, don't be like that..." Ye Zhuang suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, and sighed: "I have self-awareness, as long as she's a beauty, I'm probably not good enough for her... Alas, I was just fantasizing a bit, just satisfying my cravings..."
Ye Han patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. There's a saying that goes like this: 'Where is the horizon without fragrant grass?' When you're 18... by then you should be in college too, right? Hmm, at that time, drive the Bugatti Veyron I gave you worth over 40 million to school, park it on campus, and I guarantee countless girls will swarm around screaming 'Brother Zhang, I want to marry you!' Do you believe me?"
"Believe it! I believe!" Ye Zhuang burst out laughing, his depressed expression changed in an instant, and he said with a flying eyebrow: "Boss, then I'll wait for you to fulfill your promise of a sedan. Hey, driving a luxury car to pick up chicks, that's the real deal!"
He glanced at Tang Xue again, and said with some reluctance: "If I could get her, I'd rather not have the car."
Ye Han said, "I think you'd better take a taxi, it's more realistic. Alright, alright, stop looking, or your saliva and eyeballs will fall out together. Let's go, let's go over there and take a walk."
The two walked forward slowly, and when they were about 200 or 300 meters away from "Emerald Lake", they suddenly heard a shrill cry coming from behind them. Immediately after that, cries for help filled the air. Ye Han and Ye Zhuang turned their heads at the same time to see what was happening. They saw that the girls who had been taking pictures and having fun by the lake were now in disarray, standing by the lake's edge, pointing at the water and jumping up and down while screaming in terror. The beautiful young girl Tang Xue, who had been posing for photos on a rock by the lake, was nowhere to be seen.
"It's terrible, it's Tang Xue...Tang Xue has fallen into the water!" Ye Zhuang shouted loudly, flailing his arms and rushing towards the lake.
"This kid, tall and fat, actually runs faster than a rabbit... it seems that beauties have the effect of increasing speed! " Watching Ye Zhuang's footsteps flying fast, taking out the 100-meter dash energy, Ye Han smiled and shook his head, his figure flashed, also swept away like the wind.
"In Emerald Lake", a figure with only his head exposed, struggling with both hands, the figure was dressed in white, if not Tang Xue who else? Perhaps due to not knowing how to swim, the more Tang Xue struggled, the weaker her body drifted towards the center of the lake, in an instant she had already floated over ten meters away from the shore. She was originally shouting for help loudly, but her voice gradually became lower and weaker, later it completely disappeared, her body slowly sinking down.
Ye Zhuang was seven or eight years old when he learned to swim with Ye Han in a small river not far from home. Although the city has expanded and the small river no longer exists, and it's been many years since he last swam, he thought to himself that relying on his swimming skills, rescuing Tang Xue would be no problem. Rushing to the lake shore, without thinking much, he quickly took off his top and loudly shouted at the several girls standing by the lake "Get out of the way!"
He jumped into the deep lake without hesitation.
In the autumn, the water was cold and the lake was deep. If someone with poor swimming skills went to rescue her, they might end up burying themselves alongside the drowning girl. Therefore, although many onlookers came over to watch after hearing the commotion, none of them dared to follow Ye Zhuang into the water; instead, they stood by the lakeside, clapping and cheering, urging Ye Zhuang on.
Ye Zhuang took a leap into the lake, and immediately felt something was off. He had forgotten that his current self was vastly different from seven or eight years ago, his physique having undergone significant changes, no longer possessing the majestic bearing of the "little white dragon in the waves". After swimming just a few strokes, he was already panting heavily, unable to muster any more strength. Forget saving Tang Xue, even getting himself back to shore seemed like an insurmountable task. In this critical moment, he thought of Ye Han and so he opened his mouth wide and let out a loud shout: "Old Big Brother, I'm out of energy! Quickly come save me!"
"Good grief, swimming skills are so bad, yet jumping into the water to save someone?" Ye Han muttered on the lakeside before immediately diving in.
His arms flew like wings, and he swam to Ye Zhuang's side with a few strokes. One hand gently pushed him from behind, and he said in a low voice: "You go up first, I'll save Tang Xue!"
Ye Zhuang's body, with a push from him, darted forward several meters, then borrowed momentum to paddle twice, and had already touched a protruding rock on the shore. He climbed ashore, sat down on the shore, and looked at Ye Han rescuing people with a tense expression. Although it was cold, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes.
Just as the lake water was about to submerge Tang Xue's head, Ye Han also swam to her side, one arm wrapped around her slender and soft waist, gently lifting her out of the water, while the other hand paddled through the lake, swimming towards the shore.
His swimming speed was not inferior to that of a world champion, and he was swimming with one arm. However, at this time, the tourists by the lake were all paying attention to Tang Xue, and no one came to applaud for him.
With a flicker of his eyes, Ye Han had already carried Tang Xue to the shore, where he saw Ye Zhuang shivering and sitting on the ground, shouting: "Stop being stupid, take her up!"
Ye Zhuang let out an "oh" and squatted down, joining Tang Xue's several female companions to pull Tang Xue out of the water with all their might. They then laid her flat on the ground at the water's edge, after which Ye Han also emerged from the water.
Just now, Ye Zhuang went into the water and swam a few strokes before exhausting his strength. Ye Han successively saved Ye Zhuang and Tang Xue, but when he got to shore, his breathing was steady and his complexion unchanged, as if this extremely physically demanding task was as easy for him as lifting his hand or moving his foot.
"Oh my god, Tang Xue... has she already drowned?" Seeing Tang Xue lying on the ground, her face pale, eyes tightly closed, and her life or death unknown, the few companions who came with her were frightened out of their wits and began to sob.
They and Tang Xue were classmates, considered to be close friends. Today, they coincidentally had a double rest day, so they persuaded Tang Xue to sneak out of the house to play. If something happened to Tang Xue, they would all be implicated. ... Desperately seeking collection, recommendation votes, and member points (login to watch, it's just member points).
