Chapter 409: Chapter 409: That Year, He Comforted Her in the Same Way

Ling Jiayu revealed a determined smile.

"I said, as long as it’s for revenge, no matter how long it takes, it’s never too late."

After Chi Yue fell into the artificial lake, the water splashed twice before returning to calm.

Ling Jiayu waited a while, and seeing no more movement in the water, she picked up her phone and dialed Xi Yihang’s number while walking, "Just now, I saw Chi Yue falling into the water..."

She didn’t see that, after she left, a figure had leaped into the artificial lake and swam towards where Chi Yue had fallen.

Chi Yue gave up struggling as soon as she fell into the water.

All around her was water surging towards her, she reached out to grab something, but caught nothing.

She tried to open her eyes to look around, and suddenly saw a figure swimming towards her.

Upon closer inspection, that figure overlapped with one from the depths of her memory, and Chi Yue’s heart suddenly missed a beat.

However, within moments, the man swam up to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and began swimming towards the shore.

By then, a crowd had gathered at the lake, certainly not due to Ling Jiayu’s efforts.

Ling Jiayu went to pull Xi Yihang out to watch the excitement, saw so many people, and suddenly felt guilty, wanting to leave, but Xi Yihang restrained her.

Ling Jiayu panicked, "What are you doing?"

"What you did."

His words were not a question, but an affirmation.

Ling Jiayu fiercely shook off his hand, "So what if I did? Do you plan to drag me in front of Fu Rongyin, using me to mend your relationship?"

"She’s up, she’s up, call a doctor, an ambulance, quick!"

A voice from not far disrupted Xi Yihang’s thoughts, he instinctively looked over, just in time to see Fu Rongyin placing Chi Yue on the ground, administering first aid.

Ling Jiayu took advantage of his distraction and slipped away; by the time Xi Yihang realized, she was already nowhere to be seen.

Xi Yihang stood still for a moment, then returned to the banquet hall.

Finally, Chi Yue opened her eyes; in her hazy vision, she met a pair of anxious and profound eyes, and the memories sealed by time suddenly surged like a tide, causing Chi Yue’s eyes to instantly well up with tears.

Fu Rongyin thought she was scared and pulled her into his arms, comforting her softly.

That year, when she fell into the water, he had also consoled her in the same way.

Just a moment ago she was still angry with him, but the next second he had jumped into the water heedlessly for her.

She clearly remembered, after she opened her eyes and saw his eyes reddened with concern, tears uncontrollably fell, and she hugged him tightly in front of all their teachers and classmates.

A sudden warm touch on her face made Chi Yue look up to see Fu Rongyin frowning as he wiped her face.

Only then did she realize, she was crying.

As she looked at the familiar face overlapping with her distant memories, Chi Yue’s tears fell harder, beyond her control.

She also saw Fu Rongyin’s brow furrowing deeper and deeper, eventually he sighed lightly, just like back then, "Were you scared?"

Chi Yue tried hard to contain her emotions, nodded, and looked around.

Although there were many people, it was still possible to see clearly.

Chi Yue didn’t see Ling Jiayu, and upon reflection, she knew that Ling had hidden far away after seeing that she had been rescued, afraid of being pointed out by her.

Chi Yue pondered, unaware of what she was thinking.

The sound of an ambulance approached from afar.

Chi Yue’s body lifted off the ground, she instinctively clung to Fu Rongyin, her eyes brimming with tears, stirring a heart-wrenching pity.

But Fu Rongyin only gave her a glance, then walked straight towards the ambulance.

Chi Yue clung to his neck, "I don’t want to go to the hospital."

"You need to get checked."

"But..."

"I will look into the things here for you."

Chi Yue sighed silently.

After so many years, he hadn’t changed, still just as stubborn about getting her into a hospital as he had been back then.
