In a moment of grave urgency, Yi Feng didnât think too much, with only one thought in his mind.
To save someone!
As he plunged into the icy lake water, he immediately swam towards the spot where the little boy had fallen in at the fastest speed he could muster.
Within just a few breaths, Yi Feng reached the boy, supporting his body, and immediately shouted, âDonât move, kid! Donât move! Iâm here to save you!â
The boy, around five or six years old, obediently stopped struggling and clung tightly to Yi Fengâs neck after being shouted at.
Yi Feng swallowed a couple of mouthfuls of water but was relieved that the boy calmed down, knowing he could get them to shore as long as the boy remained still.
After stabilizing in the water, Yi Feng kicked his legs, moving towards the shore. Fortunately, the place where the boy fell into the water was not far from the shore, about three or four meters, and Yi Feng quickly got the boy to the bank.
Gu Muxi and the man in traditional attire pulled the boy ashore together.
The moment the boy reached the shore, he burst into tears.
Gu Muxi was relieved to see the boy was safe and immediately pulled Yi Feng ashore as well.
âYi Feng, are you alright?â Gu Muxi examined him anxiously, as if fearing he was missing a part.
âCough! Iâm fine, just swallowed some water. Check on the kid.â Yi Feng coughed out water, feeling nauseous.
Gu Muxi sighed in relief, her heart having been in her throat.
She hadnât expected Yi Feng to jump in to save the boy without a second thought.
Stinky Feng⦠you were quite the hero just now!
âYoung man! I canât thank you enough! Without you, my grandson would surely have been gone!â
âThank you so much!â The man in traditional attire was extremely emotional, kneeling down, grasping Yi Fengâs hand, tears streaming down his face.
Yi Feng, soaking wet, just wanted to quickly go home and change clothes to get comfortable.
âItâs good the kid is fine. Old man, please keep a closer eye on him next time, donât let him run towards the lake.â
âFor safety, you should take the boy home to change clothes and then go to the hospital for a check-up, getting cold is not good,â Yi Feng advised with a smile.
âAlright, thank you so much!â
âYoung man, whatâs your name? I must repay you properly!â The man in traditional attire expressed his gratitude.
âIâm Yi Feng. No need for repayment, we have other things to attend to, so weâll be going,â Yi Feng helped him up and then left without looking back.
The old man urgently called out, âYoung man, wait, leave me your contact information! I must thank you properly!â
âNo need, old man,â Yi Feng replied without turning back.
Doing good deeds without leaving a name, not seeking repayment, thatâs the spirit of the new generation!
The old man, holding his grandsonâs hand, watched Yi Fengâs departing figure with great emotion.
âThis young man is truly a good person!â
âWe must find him and properly thank him!â
â¦
Yi Feng ran towards the residential area, feeling a bit chilly in the morning air and sneezing several times, drawing curious looks from passersby.
Finally home, he headed straight for the bathroom to get rid of the itchy feeling all over.
After using the shower gel and shampoo a few times, Yi Feng realized he hadnât brought clothes with him.
It seemed he had no choice but to ask Gu Muxi for help.
He cracked the bathroom door open and called out, âGu Muxi, could you get me some clothes, please?â
âUh⦠okay, where are your clothes?â Gu Muxi approached the door to ask.
âIn the wardrobe, just find any set of clothes for me.â
âAchoo~~ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yi Feng sneezed again, feeling a bit chilly.
Damn, I hope Iâm not catching a cold.
âOkay, wait a moment, Iâll get them for you right now,â Gu Muxi replied, quickly running to the room to fetch a set of clothes.
She returned to the bathroom door, passing the clothes through the crack.
âHere, take your clothes, get dressed quickly, donât catch a cold,â Gu Muxi said with a hint of concern.
âUh, thanks, Iâll be done soon,â Yi Feng replied.
Gu Muxi âohâed and sat down on the living room sofa somewhat dazedly.
Her mind was filled with the image of Yi Feng bravely jumping into the river.
At that moment, she truly panicked.
An unprecedented sense of panic and anxiety.
She was genuinely worried about Yi Fengâs safety in the rescue.
But fortunately, Yi Feng has always been a good swimmer since he was young and managed smoothly in the end.
Seeing him save the child moved her.
At that moment, she seemed to see a light in Yi Feng.
Stinky Feng is really a good person!
Was I too harsh on him before?
Gu Muxi, reflecting on how she had treated Yi Feng that morning, felt a bit guilty.
Considering how well you performed today, I wonât hold it against you, hmph~
âUm⦠Gu Muxi!â
Yi Fengâs voice came from the bathroom again.
âYi Feng, whatâs up?â
âDid you forget to bring something else?â
âWhat? What else?â
âYou know, that thing, the triangular oneâ¦â
