Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Falling into Water

Fortunately, the riverside barbecue wasn’t too far from the hotel where she stayed. After donning a hat and mask, fully armed, Wen Qiao headed straight for the barbecue stand.

"Boss, this one, this one, this one, ten skewers each."

While ordering skewers, Qiaoqiao managed to exhibit an air of grandeur, as if she was directing troops on a battlefield.

The barbecue stand was quite crowded. After Qiaoqiao placed her order, she retreated to the back of the crowd to wait, taking in the view of the riverside.

The architecture in the film city leaned towards an ancient style, with green bricks, red tiles, small bridges, and flowing water, all presenting an entirely different scenery.

The sound of the babbling brook unwittingly calmed one’s heart.

Wen Qiao braced her arms on the bridge railing, closing her eyes to enjoy the summer breeze for a moment.

She took her phone out and snapped a picture of the river surface to send to Fu Jinghen.

[Qiaoqiao’s not full: It would be great if you were here to see this beautiful scenery.]

Fu Jinghen must have been busy, as he didn’t reply quickly. Wen Qiao didn’t mind; she was just casually flirting.

"Miss, your skewers are ready."

"Oh, coming!"

Wen Qiao’s eyes lit up as she bounced over, paid, grabbed the skewers, and hurried back to the hotel, unable to wait.

My little treasures, I’ll be eating you so soon!

With every step, she increased her pace, and suddenly, Wen Qiao heard a cry of alarm. On reflex, she looked over and saw Lin Ruochun’s face disappear behind the bridge railing.

She immediately ran over. Lin Ruochun was flailing in the lake water, constantly shouting for help.

Without a second thought, Wen Qiao dropped the skewers, stepped onto the bridge railing, and leaped down.

Lin Ruochun was struggling incessantly in the water, and with the light from both sides of the riverbank, Wen Qiao easily found Lin Ruochun’s head bobbing on the water’s surface.

Wen Qiao slid one hand under her armpit, guiding her towards the shore.

After fishing her out of the water and tossing her onto the grass, Wen Qiao herself sat down next to her, feeling drained.

"I wouldn’t have guessed, you look quite thin, but you are so heavy to pull."

Lin Ruochun, who had swallowed several gulps of water, was coughing nonstop on the bank. Seeing this, Wen Qiao hurriedly grabbed her shoulders to pull her back: "Get away from the lake. You want to go back in just after getting out? If you really want to jump in, wait till I’m gone, don’t bother me."

Wen Qiao’s words didn’t leave any face for her, but Lin Ruochun, having just escaped death, didn’t have much force in her retort. She shrugged off Wen Qiao’s hands: "Don’t pretend to be nice."

"?"

Wen Qiao was amused by the accusation, "Pretend to be nice? If I were pretending, I wouldn’t have jumped in to save you just now. I could’ve just stood on the shore and yelled for help. Ungrateful, really!"

"If you hadn’t asked me to come here, how would I have fallen in?" Lin Ruochun thought back to her near-drowning and shuddered with fear.

"I asked you to come here?" Wen Qiao laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke: "Has your brain been waterlogged in the lake? Why would I ever ask you out?"

"You invited me out to thank me and treat me to barbecue!" Lin Ruochun became anxious when she saw Wen Qiao deny it.

After coughing out the water in her lungs and with a hoarse voice: "Be brave enough to own up to what you do, Wen Qiao, don’t let me think any less of you."

"Why should I admit to something I didn’t do?"

Wen Qiao had never had a moment when she dared to do something but not admit to it.

Lin Ruochun: "Isn’t 6599 your phone number? You sent me a text today at noon, saying you wanted to meet me tonight."

That was indeed Wen Qiao’s phone number, but she had absolutely no recollection of sending Lin Ruochun any text messages about meeting up.
