A boat passed by the riverbank, and there was a performing troupe playing music and singing on the boat. The folks found it novel to see a troupe perform on the water, and each one squeezed over there, filling the entire riverbank with people.
Su Yaoguang felt that the riverbank was cool, and watching the moon by the water was exceptionally special; she really liked this feeling. However, the sudden crowd pushed her and Zhou Wangshu apart.
A hand reached over and pushed her towards the water.
Su Yaoguang instinctively grabbed the person who pushed her, and the two fell into the water together.
"Ah..." Jiang Yihuan screamed.
Su Yaoguang saw Jiang Yihuan and was both angry and annoyed.
This damned woman really haunts like a ghost.
But honestly, falling into the water in front of so many people is simply embarrassing.
Just as Su Yaoguang was thinking about quickly swimming away, a hand reached over and pulled her up from the water.
Su Yaoguang’s body was unstable, but that person held her and stabilized her.
Splash! The sound of falling into water echoed.
"Someone fell into the water, quick, rescue them!"
Someone shouted loudly from the crowd.
Su Yaoguang looked at Zhou Wangshu before her with lingering fear.
Zhou Wangshu looked at her nervously, checking her body: "Are you hurt? Did that poisonous woman do anything to harm you?"
Su Yaoguang stared blankly at Zhou Wangshu’s worried face, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
"What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?" Zhou Wangshu saw her not speaking, seemingly about to cry, and a look of murderous intent flashed in his eyes while looking at the woman in the water.
Su Yaoguang hugged Zhou Wangshu tightly and sniffed: "Turns out when I and someone else fall into the water at the same time, there’s still someone who will pull me up first."
Zhou Wangshu heard her say that, and the tension in his heart vanished. He recalled that ’dream’ and responded sarcastically: "As long as you’re not blind or unable to recognize people, of course, someone will pull you up."
"Wang Shu, how are you so good?" Su Yaoguang said, "You’re so filial to your sister—I’ll take care of your son’s diapers, food, and drink in the future."
Zhou Wangshu: "..."
He must have been crazy to worry about her just now.
Jiang Yihuan was still thrashing in the water.
Su Yaoguang listened to the continuous noise and stretched her neck to look at the chaos in the water.
"Look at others; she falls into the water, and over ten men jump in to save her. Tsk tsk tsk, that charm, I can’t help but give her a thumbs up."
"If you’re jealous, I’ll throw you down now and arrange fifty, no, a hundred men to rescue you," Zhou Wangshu said and pinched his fingers, pretending to throw her.
Su Yaoguang hugged Zhou Wangshu’s arm: "You rescued me with such effort; I can’t let your intentions go to waste."
Xiao Yanci carried things while searching the riverbank for Jiang Yihuan’s figure. Earlier, he thought of buying things and asked Jiang Yihuan to wait for him by the river—this beautiful scenery was a great place for lovers to spend time.
But why are there so many people today and it’s so noisy? It’s hard to find someone.
Su Yaoguang spotted Xiao Yanci, nudged Zhou Wangshu, and said, "Should we be good people and let him go into the water to find Jiang Yihuan?"
"We should be good people and let him reunite with her in the water," Zhou Wangshu said, and saw several little beggars nearby, waving at them.
Su Yaoguang saw Zhou Wangshu instructing the little beggars, who then ran towards Xiao Yanci, blocking his way and begging.
Xiao Yanci, who had a cleanliness obsession, detested these dirty little beggars. Annoyed, he pushed them away, but there were too many beggars, and he was pushed to the edge of the river.
Splash! Xiao Yanci also fell into the water.
"What day is it today? That one hasn’t been rescued yet, and now another one fell in."
"The one earlier was a woman, now it’s a man. The woman earlier is quite beautiful—I saw Wang Ergou and his friends touching her underwater for quite a while!"
"This man is quite handsome too..."
The women watching Xiao Yanci thrashing in the water were coveting him. However, most women were still reserved, with only one chubby girl diving in and swimming towards Xiao Yanci.
Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu watched the drama by the river.
After Jiang Yihuan fell into the water, so many men jumped in to rescue her. If they really wanted to save her, she’d be up by now; truth be told, they were just taking advantage of her because she looked decent.
"Too crowded here, be careful or you might get pushed into the water too. Let’s go!"
"Okay."
Su Yaoguang glanced back and saw Xiao Yanci reaching out in her direction, his eyes full of pleading.
Su Yaoguang sneered, made a grimace, and chased after Zhou Wangshu ahead.
"Wang Shu, what did you say to those beggars?"
"Nothing much."
Zhou Wangshu pursed his lips.
Ever since Feng Chaoyang followed him, the beggars here pretty much listened to him.
"I’m hungry again." Su Yaoguang pulled Zhou Wangshu towards the barbecue stand.
Zhou Wangshu: "..."
She really has a large heart.
If he hadn’t arrived in time earlier, she’d be the one thrashing in the water now. With so many people enjoying the spectacle today, she’d probably also have many people taking advantage of her if she fell in.
"Boss, a pitcher of wine." Su Yaoguang, feeling joyful, directly ordered a pitcher of wine.
Zhou Wangshu frowned: "It’s so late, you’re still drinking?"
"You’re still young, can’t drink; I’ll drink by myself. Today is a happy day, I must celebrate with wine."
"Those two unlucky people made you so happy?" Zhou Wangshu said, "I’ve heard that hating someone badly implies caring deeply about them—are you this concerned because you dislike them?"
Su Yaoguang poured herself a glass of wine, swallowed it, and replied, "What do they count for? Not worth me caring about them. I’m happy because I have Wang Shu by my side, not fighting alone."
Zhou Wangshu handed her a cup: "Pour me some too then."
"You can’t; your drinking capacity is too bad, embarrassing yourself last time. Don’t drink anymore." Su Yaoguang refused. "This wine isn’t enough just for me."
Zhou Wangshu pulled out a purse: "All your silver is with me, you don’t have any on you now, right? If you don’t pour me some, you won’t be drinking either."
Su Yaoguang: "... Sure, sure, I’ll let you drink, just one cup."
Zhou Wangshu shouted at the boss: "Boss, add another portion of barbecue, and another pitcher of wine."
Only one cup for him?
Who are they underestimating?
Calling him young? Where is he young?
It was the first time drinking last time; naturally, he’d be a bit out of practice. This time will be different, he intends to redeem himself.
The locals from the riverbank sat at the table next to them, ordering barbecue and discussing the recent events of the two falling into the water.
"I heard that the young lady was the daughter of the Fenghua Pavilion’s boss, a renowned beauty here, and earlier, Wang Laizi was feeling her for quite a while underwater. Poor thing, how will she even talk about marriage proposals in the future?"
