Chapter 33: Chapter 033 Almost Lost My Life

"Be careful."

Xu Nian’an was a step slow, pushed Zhong Juan to the side, and at the same time stretched out his long arm to pull Xu Nianhua close. Just like protecting a calf, he firmly shielded Xu Nianhua behind him. Xu Nian’an furrowed his brows and said, "Zhong Juan, if you want to go crazy, go do it at someone else’s house. You have no shame, what does that have to do with my little sister?"

With Xu Nian’an’s broad shoulders and tall figure standing in front of her, Xu Nianhua felt extremely happy.

Having a brother is really great.

Xu Nianhua stepped forward and said, "Zhong Juan, your issues have nothing to do with me."

"I don’t believe it," Zhong Juan stared fixedly at Xu Nianhua.

Xu Nian’an stood by on guard, fearing that Zhong Juan might do something drastic again.

With a calm gaze, Xu Nianhua looked at Zhong Juan and said, "If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself."

"Bullshit, besides you, no one else knows about our affair, that day on the back hill..." Zhong Juan tried to mention what happened on the back hill that day, but upon second thought, that incident was embarrassing enough, did she really want to bring up the back hill too?

If so, others would definitely gossip endlessly, saying she and Gao Jianshe had been involved countless times.

"Xu Nianhua, this isn’t over between us!"

Zhong Juan angrily dropped these words and turned to leave.

"Little sister, are you okay?" Xu Nian’an looked at Xu Nianhua with concern. Even though their family wasn’t well off, his little sister had always been cherished and pampered. Xu Nian’an wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her.

"I’m fine." Xu Nianhua shook her head. Such a small matter trying to scare her? They were really underestimating her.

"Has Zhong Juan lost her mind? What does she want with you? You, do you know about her and Gao Jianshe?" Ji Ying glanced at her well-behaved daughter and inquired.

Touching her nose, Xu Nianhua said, "That day on the back hill, I saw the two of them together. I was so shocked that I lost my footing and fell into the lake."

Before, Xu Nianhua couldn’t remember, but with Zhong Juan making such a fuss, even guessing would have led to the conclusion.

"What?" Ji Ying looked at Xu Nianhua in shock and said, "Why didn’t you mention this when you came back?"

"Er..."

Xu Nian’an remained silent until Ji Ying left. Then Xu Nian’an asked, "So, Zhong Juan and the others knew you fell into the lake but still ran away?"

Xu Nian’an’s hand involuntarily clenched tightly. When he had found his little sister at the back hill, she was already submerged in the lake, with only her clothes visible floating on the surface.

Without a second thought, Xu Nian’an had jumped into the lake and pulled his little sister out!

He hadn’t dared to say this before, but when he pulled his little sister out, she had already stopped breathing. That moment, Xu Nian’an had been terrified, continuously performing the first aid techniques he knew. After seeing his little sister cough out water, Xu Nian’an finally took a breath of relief.

Despite the hot weather, Xu Nian’an’s back was ice cold.

Previously, he thought it was an accident and told himself secretly to take more care of his little sister. But now, he knew that not only he was there, Zhong Juan and Gao Jianshe were there too!

Did they know that if they were a bit later, just a bit later, his little sister would have lost her life!!!

"I don’t know..." Xu Nianhua shook her head. She couldn’t recall the details after all these years. Thinking that she survived the ordeal due to a stroke of fortune, Xu Nianhua was too lazy to bother about Zhong Juan anymore. But, in a blink of an eye, Xu Nian’an had disappeared.

"Brother."

Xu Nianhua watched Xu Nian’an’s departing figure, feeling uneasy. After pondering a bit, she followed him.

"Brother."

Xu Nian’an was walking fast, and Xu Nianhua realized, her brother’s legs were really long, he walked so quickly.
