Maybe Xu Xiaoxiao was Sun Yunyun’s fallback.

Zhou Hengyang poked Su Wen as she bit on her cheek. Already in a poor mood, he asked, “What are you thinking about now?” What could his wife be dwelling on all day, every day?

“Am I wrong? Look, look! Sun Yunyun is feeling up Xu Xiaoxiao’s abs with her hands! Tsk, tsk… He truly has an outstanding physique. Unfortunately, he’s too young; he could be my younger sibling!”

Had they been closer in age, she might have entertained thoughts of getting together with him.

A vein throbbed at Zhou Hengyang’s temple. He was so angry with Xu Xiaoxiao that he wanted to beat that flamboyant peacock of a cousin up. Xu Xiaoxiao needed to stop being an eyesore and making his wife stare at him with googly eyes.

Annoyed, Zhou Hengyang pulled Su Wen into his arms and pressed her face against his chest to prevent her from peeping at his cousin.

“Stop staring at him.”

“I…” Su Wen tried to tell him that she just wanted to enjoy the show, but he stopped her by covering her eyes with his large hands.

Zhou Hengyang’s hand was like hot coal, stealing her breath away as it made contact with her skin. Su Wen’s heart beat erratically, and she forgot what she wanted to say.

Su Wen leaned into Zhou Hengyang’s strong arms, indulging in the intoxicating warmth he exuded, his presence, a warm blanket against her skin. Listening to the steady beat of his heart, Su Wen felt safe, a feeling she had never experienced before. It was almost as if she were reliving the warmth she had felt when reading the novel for the first time.

It was a deeply fascinating sensation. How could a man so contrary provide her with the sense of security she had longed for all her life?

Su Wen gave in to her instincts, and her struggles died down. She told herself it was fine. There was no harm in resting against Zhou Hengyang for a while.

“Big Brother Xu, let me help you dry yourself.” Sun Yunyun was so confident Xu Xiaoxiao would not say no that it toed the line of arrogance. Zhou Hengyang was an outlier, considering how she had always been the envy of her peers since she was young. Be it her teachers or classmates, they all treated her exceptionally well.

She even knew that several students had a crush on her.

Love letters were a common fixture in her life, but she ignored all of them.

Zhou Hengyang had always been her goal, and she would not settle for less. Yet, despite rejecting her peers repeatedly, they never stopped, growing more loyal to her with each one she shot down.

It was a great boost to her self-esteem.

Sun Yunyun eyed Xu Xiaoxiao greedily. She was so excited that her hands

trembled as she approached Xu Xiaoxiao. When she finally came in contact, she felt a force upend her world.

The world spun on an axis with Sun Yunyun as the focal point as she crashed heavily into rapids. A sweet, metallic taste coated the insides of her throat. It was the last thing she felt before she fainted.

“Humph!” Xu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and turned to leave without even sparing Sun Yunyun a second glance. He was hungry from all his exercise. He picked up the two little girls as he passed them by, a blank expression on his face.

“Why are you being so intimate in public? Come one, let’s go!” Zhou Hengyang rolled his eyes in disdain as Xu Xiaoxiao walked past, urging them on. He was shameless, and he knew it!

Zhou Hengyang bundled his wife in his arms, his mood much improved now that all attention was on him again. He could not be bothered to respond to his cousin’s quip.

Only after they disappeared did Sun Xiacao unfreeze from where she stood, shouting for help. She needed someone to save Sun Yunyun, who had fallen into the river. Fortunately, a few men were still bathing in the river, and they quickly responded to her plea for help. They swam to where Sun Yunyun had landed, carrying the unconscious girl back to shore.

“What should we do? What should we do?” Sun Xiaocao squeaked in panic. “She isn’t responding! How do we save her? Can anyone here save her?”

The men looked at one another, not knowing what to do. Wu Lili, shocked-free from her daze, sneered and walked up to the group of headless chickens. “She’s probably got water in her lungs. You need to do CPR.”

Wu Lili knew it was a lie, but it was at least plausible to most ears. Sun Yunyun had likely fainted from fright, but she did not offer that little tidbit. She wanted to watch the show.

“What is CPR?” Sun Xiaocao blinked owlishly.

“Just blow air into her mouth.” Wu Lili knew one of the men present. He was an infamous bachelor in his thirties who still had no wife. She pointed a long, imperious finger at him and said, “Hurry up and save her! The Sun family will be sure to thank you. They might even marry Sun Yunyun to you in gratitude..”
