The weather at the seaside changes suddenly. Tan Yin completed her research and field research seriously. After parting ways with Chu Hang, she just had lunch with Jiang Yilu, and saw that the morning haze outside the window had been swept away and the sun was shining brightly.
"Let's go to the beach!"
Not only Tan Yin and Jiang Yilu, the rest of the students also began to enjoy the hard-earned sunshine and beach. Some participated in water sports like parasailing and motorboating; some built sand sculptures; some drank drinks and chatted in a nearby beach bar. For a moment, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.
Tan Yin was lying on a beach chair under a parasol, drinking fresh coconut juice. Jiang Yilu was lying beside her. She was looking at a place not far away, saying confidently, "Smash it! Smash it on his face!"
"Hey hey hey!!! Why didn't I hit him? It would have been better if I had made his face swollen!"
"Hurry up and make a pass error!!!"
"Okay! Chu Hang! Come on! Kill that shameless Xu Yu!"
"Hit me again!!! Chu Hang!! Go!!! Smash Xu Yu to the ground on the beach! Knock him to pieces!"
…
After Jiang Yilu sat down, her eyes never left Xu Yu who was not far away. Xu Yu was playing beach volleyball with Chu Hang, Duan Yingfei and another girl. Chu Hang and Duan Yingfei were in a group, while Xu Yu was partnered with another girl.
Beach volleyball is a very interesting sport because both male and female players can show off their figures very well. Chu Hang was wearing typical beach sportswear, and his perfect muscle lines were faintly visible, which was very pleasing to the eye. The two girls were wearing bikinis, and their good figures were clearly visible.
This quartet attracted the attention of most people on the beach, and Jiang Yilu had been staring at them since they formed a team. However, unlike the admiring eyes of the other girls, Jiang Yilu's eyes shot out direct murderous intent. She almost cursed Xu Yu to be hit, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Xu Yu played quite well and was evenly matched with Chu Hang. Only in the second half did he make frequent mistakes because of the drag of his female partner.
Tan Yin had no interest in sports. She lay on a lounge chair, looking at the sky and feeling the sea breeze. She didn't even watch the eye-catching beach volleyball game, and was indifferent to the cheers and applause from all around her as the game progressed.
Finally, she got bored and stood up to look at the sea. Tan Yin originally just wanted to look at the sea view from afar, but as she looked, she realized something was wrong. Today, the wind and waves were quite strong, and the tide was fierce, which was not suitable for going to the sea. Therefore, almost no one was playing near the beach, and most people were lying on the beach. However, at this moment, in her sight, she didn't know which careless parents didn't watch their children. A little boy was picking up shells on the wet beach just after the tide receded. He saw the surging waves taking the child away from the shore little by little, and on the sea not far away, a big wave was brewing with the naked eye. A wave of this level, just one, was enough to completely roll the child into the sea.
"Help! Help! There's a child on the beach!"
Time was running out. Tan Yin shouted, and without even thinking, she threw away the coconut and ran towards the beach. Unfortunately, her voice was drowned out by the cheers after the beach volleyball goal, and she was a little far from the beach. When she just picked up the little boy and was ready to run, the wave came. Tan Yin tried her best to protect the child in her arms, and let the wave with impact force hit her body. The force of the wave was too strong, and the sea water flowed back to the deep sea after the wave.
Fortunately, at Jiang Yilu's shout, someone finally ran to the beach to help rescue the child. Tan Yin almost gritted her teeth and desperately pushed the child in her arms forward. She watched the child being caught by several men who came after hearing the news, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, in these few short minutes, Tan Yin lost the best chance to save herself. Although she was still swimming hard towards the shore, she was unable to withstand the force of the waves. Not only did Tan Yin choke on sea water several times in a row, but she was also carried farther and farther away by the waves.
Many men also jumped into the sea to rescue her, but they could not swim fast enough. Seeing Tan Yin getting farther and farther away from the shore, many of them gave up halfway out of fear for their lives.
As Tan Yin struggled hard, she began to feel a little scared. Would she really be washed away? Would she die? She was a person who would not be injured even if struck by lightning, but now it seemed that she would die in the sea? She was thinking randomly in her mind, and her mind was in a mess. Another wave hit her and suddenly knocked her into the water. Tan Yin did not control her breathing and choked on a lot of sea water. Her pace was messed up, and her whole body was in a mess. Tan Yin was covered by the wave again. The salty and cold sea water choking her trachea made her feel suffocated. The sea water stung her so much that she could not open her eyes at all. The fear from life to death was just a matter of a moment. Just when Tan Yin was almost in despair, she felt a hand.
Someone grabbed her hand.
Although she tried to open her eyes, the waves were too strong, and Tan Yin could only be dragged forward like a blind person. At this moment, Tan Yin could not care about anything else, she held the other person tightly, she closed her eyes, and could only feel the sea water hitting her face.
"Xu Yu, hurry up and pull harder! Have you eaten lunch?! Can you do it?!"
"Come on! Brother Xu Yu, try harder! They're almost back!"
Only when the voices of people on the shore became clearer and clearer did Tan Yin finally relax.
Saved!
It was not until her feet touched the sand again that Tan Yin finally calmed down. She then had the leisure to wipe the sea water off her face and opened her eyes.
Then she saw Chu Hang, a very embarrassed Chu Hang. He was completely different from his usual elegance and arrogance. At this moment, his wet clothes were clinging to his body, and his face was scratched by something in the water. The blood mixed with the seawater on his face made his handsomeness look a bit fierce and sturdy.
Even Tan Yin, who was lying on the same bed with Chu Hang and watching Chu Hang take off his shirt, was as steady as an old dog, at this moment, his heart suddenly started pounding.
Chu Hang was not elegant at all at this moment. He loosened the rope tied to his body so that Xu Yu could pull him back to the shore, frowned and took off his shirt, his movements could even be described as a bit rude. After that, he wiped the blood off his face without caring at all. The movement was a bit careless, but in Tan Yin's eyes, it was a different kind of moving. Lifting off the skin of a refined nobleman, under Chu Hang's calm appearance, there was bloodiness and ferocity, and a hint of evil. Tan Yin found it hard to imagine that such two completely different temperaments could appear in one person.
This huge contrast added a touch of complex beauty to Chu Hang's deep-cut face. At that moment, Tan Yin could hardly take her eyes away. She stared at Chu Hang almost without blinking.
At this time, Chu Hang frowned and turned back, finally remembering something and looking at Tan Yin. However, as soon as this impatient look was directed at Tan Yin, Chu Hang braked and turned away, and his voice became somewhat unnatural and harsh.
"How long are you going to hold my hand?"
Tan Yin then realized that her hand was still tightly grasping Chu Hang's. When she quickly let go, she found that there was a claw mark on Chu Hang's fair arm, and his arm was bruised from being pinched by her.
Tan Yin said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that I was so afraid of death that I caught you like this. It seems that people have unlimited potential when they are in danger..."
It was a pity that Chu Hang seemed not to want to look at her and still turned his head away, leaving Tan Yin with only a cold profile.
Tan Yin wanted to say something, but Jiang Yilu rushed over and hugged her: "Tan Yin, you scared me to death! I thought you were going to die!"
"… "
As Jiang Yilu spoke, she wrapped the bath towel she had just taken from the recliner around Tan Yin. Seeing that Tan Yin was still a little dazed, she quickly pulled the bath towel tighter around her. Jiang Yilu lowered her voice and said, "Wrap it tighter, you're almost exposed."
Duan Yingfei looked worried and immediately walked up to Chu Hang in tears: "Brother Chu Hang, you scared me to death! It was too dangerous just now! What if the rope tied around your waist loosened and you were washed away by the sea."
Xu Yu also threw away the rope that had just been used to pull Chu Hang and Tan Yin, and rushed over: "Chu Hang, are you okay?"
Chu Hang didn't say anything, but Jiang Yilu spoke to Xu Yu sarcastically, "If you had used less strength, they would have all died. Just now I saw you playing beach volleyball in front of a bunch of cheering women, and you looked so energetic, but when it came to saving Chu Hang, you seemed to be weak and wanted but not strong enough?"
Xu Yu is usually quite gentle and gentlemanly. However, ever since the blunder at the B&B, he has been at odds with Jiang Yilu. Whenever he meets Jiang Yilu, his usual elegant demeanor is totally out of control. At this moment, Xu Yu is like a furious lion: "I just exhausted my energy playing beach volleyball, okay?! I have kidney deficiency? I, Xu Yu, have kidney deficiency?!" He angrily said, "Also, how do you know that I was in high spirits when playing beach volleyball? This means that you must have been peeking at me the whole time. You've been paying attention to me so secretly, I think you have evil thoughts about me!"
"You, a man, have bad kidneys, but you feel pretty good." Jiang Yilu said in disbelief, "I have evil thoughts about you?! I have evil thoughts about Tan Yin, but I won't have evil thoughts about you!"
Tan Yin:
"Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"
Just when Tan Yin was full of questions and had no time to say anything, she saw a couple coming over with the boy who had just been rescued. The child's mother held the child's hand and said, "Come on, thank you sister! If it weren't for you, you would have been swept away by the waves."
The child's father cooperated and slapped the child on the head. He warned the child fiercely: "Will you run around again next time? If you run around, I will drown you, little bastard! You have been causing trouble for me since you were born. You are such a debt collector!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and smiled at Tan Yin. His voice sounded very grateful: "Thank you so much, classmate. Which school are you from? I'll write a thank-you letter and send a banner to your school. Also, here's my business card." The man handed over his business card, "This is our company. It's a national chain. Classmate, when you graduate, just come to me and you can choose any suitable position in our company... The kid is so naughty. If it weren't for you, this would really be an accident!"
Tan Yin took the business card and subconsciously said thank you.
"What are you thanking me for?"
Chu Hang's voice coldly interrupted this friendly scene of thanks. He snatched the business card from Tan Yin's hand and said, "Tan Yin, you are not the one who should be thanked."
Chu Hang looked at the couple with a cold expression: "You should be thankful that you were born in China. Even if your poor supervision of your child causes serious casualties, you will not be held legally responsible. You can even gain sympathy from others, who will think you are pitiful for losing your child."
The woman was a little embarrassed: "We... We just had something to do..."
"Yes, you have something to do, so the responsibility for your child's safety can only be thrown to others." Chu Hang pointed at Tan Yin and said solemnly, "If she was swept away by the waves today to save your child, would you still feel at ease? She risked her life to save the child you were supposed to be looking after, and you think it's decent to give a business card and an illusory promise?"
Chu Hang has always been introverted and quiet. He never likes to be high-profile in public. However, in today's scene, his attitude towards the couple can even be described as hostile, fierce and a little aggressive.
The middle-aged man, who was obviously much older than Chu Hang, seemed a little timid in front of Chu Hang: "This...we..."
"If you don't fulfill your responsibilities as parents, your child may get into an accident. And if your child doesn't get into an accident, then the children of other families who tried their best to save your child may get into an accident." Chu Hang stared at the couple. "What you should say is not thank you, but apology."
"Yes... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, classmates, we were wrong..."
Chu Hang glanced at the little boy who was in tears after being beaten by his father: "You should also apologize to your child."
After Chu Hang said this, the people around couldn't help themselves, and several old ladies immediately began to criticize the couple.
"Just give birth, not raise it."
"I dress myself up to look like a decent person, but in the end I treat my cheap parents like a fool."
…
In the end, although the couple looked embarrassed, they could not withstand the public opinion of the onlookers around them, so they apologized to Tan Yin, then symbolically comforted their son, and then fled with the child.
Eventually, the incident came to an end, and the crowd on the beach dispersed. After coming out of the sea, the sun dried her body, but the sticky, fishy and salty feeling of the sea water made her uncomfortable. Tan Yin wiped her hair and prepared to go back to the B&B to take a shower. Chu Hang, who obviously had the same plan, walked in front of Tan Yin.
The two of them walked on the beach, one in front and one behind. Chu Hang obviously didn't want to pay attention to Tan Yin. He didn't even turn his head. Finally, Tan Yin cleared his throat, quickly caught up with Chu Hang, and broke the silence.
"Chu Hang, thank you."
Chu Hang pursed his lips and looked straight ahead.
Tan Yin was a little embarrassed. She shook her hair and tried to find a topic to talk about. "But you don't have to throw away the business card. Maybe they want to give me a big reward, such as a big red envelope to express their gratitude to me..."
"Tan Yin, no reward is more important than your own life." To Tan Yin's surprise, Chu Hang interrupted her. His voice was still cold, but anger flowed under the calm tone.
Tan Yin was stunned: "I didn't really save people for the sake of reward..."
"I know you're not." Chu Hang turned his eyes away and looked at the beach in the distance. "You may be kind, but kindness has its limits. Kindness must also be rational, and not waste your life in vain." He said viciously, "Don't do such a stupid thing next time."
The author has something to say: If you leave a comment of more than 20 words in this chapter, you will receive a red envelope (until 8 pm tomorrow when the next chapter is released)
There is a reason why Chu Hang is so angry~ Let's wait for the next chapter to explain hahaha~
