Su Man looked at the river under the bridge. The water was muddy and dirtier than the water in the swimming pool. She had no idea what was in the water and the current was very strong. It looked deep as well... She frowned and rolled her eyes. She would not put herself in danger for a strange child. But now that so many people were watching, she couldn't refuse directly... After thinking about it, she could only pinch her thigh hard. Her nose stung, and tears welled up in her eyes. "I really want to save her, but I've only learned how to swim for a few days. I might not be able to save him. Why don't I call Brother Mubai over? He's very good at swimming and he's just nearby." After saying that, she anxiously dialed his number on her phone.
The people around her wanted to tell her that it was too late to call for help now, but they also knew that she obviously didn't want to take the risk and that they couldn't force her to save him.
The current was very fast and the waves swept over the child again and again. The child was about to lose the strength to struggle.
Some of the onlookers called the police, some looked for ropes, and some even thought of alternative solutions. Everyone was trying to think of all ways to save the drowning child.
At this moment, a beautiful figure squeezed through the crowd over to the riverside. She took off her shoes, put her bag on the ground, and jumped into the water with a splash.
"Su Yu?" The girl who came with Su Man recognized Su Yu at a glance and exclaimed. She patted Su Man, who was still on the phone with Jin Mubai, and said, "Manman, look, isn't that your sister?"
The news that Su Man's sister was a fake rich girl had spread a long time ago, and they had heard that Su Yu's parents, who were far away in the poor valley, had come to pick her up. So why was Su Yu still here? Su Man was also very surprised. She did not understand why Su Yu was always haunting her. They had just met at Jade Fragrance Restaurant, so how could they meet here again? But what should she do now? She had already called Jin Mubai over.
Su Yu, who was in the water, was already close to the drowning child. However, she realized that it would not be easy to save the child. The drowning child was completely flustered. He only knew how to struggle instinctively. Each time she grabbed the child, the child instinctively pressed her down. If this continued, she would drown before the child could be saved.
"Don't move!" Su Yu shouted anxiously. "If you move again, I'll hit you!" Su Yu's arms and neck had been grabbed by the child a few times and she could feel the burning pain even in the water. Instead of comforting the child, Su Yu threatened him.
The child must have heard her words as his struggles became much weaker. His small face gradually emerged from the water. He must have struggled a little too hard because the mud from the river had covered up a large portion of his face. However, his big, dark eyes still looked at Su Yu with an exceptionally bright gaze.
Su Yu took advantage of this opportunity and quickly went over to hit the back of the child's neck with her hand, knocking him out. Then, she held the child's body with one hand and swam to the shore with the other. The road back wasn't very smooth either. There were several times when she was also engulfed by the waves. And because she was carrying someone, she even drank a few big mouthfuls of river water!
Jin Mubai arrived at the scene. He walked into the crowd anxiously and saw Su Man and her classmates. He strode over and grabbed Su Man's arm. "Manman, are you alright?"
Su Man saw him and smiled shyly. She nodded and said, "Brother Mubai, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine." Jin Mubai heaved a sigh of relief. He then remembered to greet Su Man's classmates. "Hello, thank you for taking care of Manman for me. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Su Man's classmates' eyes lit up. "Great! Thank you, Senior Mubai."
Wang Xiaojing, who had a better relationship with Su Man, elbowed her and whispered, "Manman, you're so lucky. Senior Mubai is so handsome!"
Jin Mubai was the most popular boy at Feng City First High School. Not only was he handsome, but he was also good at his studies. When he graduated that year, he got into the finance department of Yu University with a high score of 680. It was said that he was also the most handsome guy at Yu University. And with the Jin family's rich and powerful status in Feng City, who wouldn't be envious of such a boyfriend?
Su Man blushed and pushed her friend's arm shyly, saying, "Gosh, Xiaojing, don't talk nonsense!"
At this moment, another student who came with them asked worriedly, "Manman, do you think something will happen to your sister if she just jumped in like that?"
