Chapter 206 Fu Xiaochen, don't ruin yourself.
Zhang Xinru glanced at the lake with regret, then teased the person next to her.
"Wang Ma, hurry up and pick it up! Otherwise someone else will snatch it away later."
Aunt Wang shook her head in disapproval. "Don't be silly. First of all, we can't swim. It's autumn now, and the lake water is freezing cold. Who would be so foolish as to jump into the lake to retrieve two rings? There's no need to..." to make things difficult for themselves.
Before she could finish speaking, there was a "thump" sound, followed by Ye Jiajia's exclamation.
"Fu Xiaochen, what are you doing? Don't you want to die? Get up here right now."
Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma both looked over, their mouths agape in surprise.
"Look, there's a fool in the lake."
"My goodness, it's just two rings. Has the young master gone mad? They're making my old legs ache."
"Their thought process is beyond the comprehension of us mere passersby; this is a unique kind of romance belonging to the male and female leads."
"...What kind of bullshit romance is this? The young master is so rich, he could buy as many rings as he wants, why did he have to be so stupid as to try to salvage those two rings? He must be so bored."
Zhang Xinru remembered that the other person was still hungry because of a fight, "No, no, no, they must be just full and bored."
Ye Jiajia, disregarding her ongoing cold war with Fu Xiaochen, anxiously looked at the person in the lake.
"Fu Xiaochen, stop looking and come up here quickly."
"Never mind that, I'm going to find those two rings today."
Ignoring the people on the shore's advice, Fu Xiaochen took a deep breath and plunged into the lake to search for the ring.
Ye Jiajia was both touched and worried: "Fu Xiaochen, I don't want the ring anymore, I forgive you, please come up quickly, please come up quickly..."
Ye Jiajia was extremely anxious and shouted at the top of her lungs for a long time, but no one in the lake popped their head out.
Her brows were furrowed, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with panic.
"Fu Xiaochen, come out now! If anything happens to you, I will never forgive you, do you hear me...?"
Zhang Xinru secretly thought that instead of standing on the shore yelling at the person in the lake, she should find help to retrieve him as soon as possible, so that Fu Xiaochen would suffer less.
However, Ye Jiajia's decision not to jump down with him was a relief, otherwise Fu Xiaochen would have been caught between searching for the ring and rescuing people, and wouldn't have known which to prioritize.
At first, Zhang Xinru didn't take it seriously, but as time passed and Fu Xiaochen didn't come up from the water, her heart sank.
"Oh no, Fu Xiaochen, don't mess things up! Quick, call for help!"
Wang Ma didn't react for a moment, then quickly said "Oh" twice and ran straight to Ye Jiajia, shouting into the lake.
"Young master, young master, come out quickly! A ring can be bought again, but if you're gone, you'll have nothing left..."
Zhang Xinru was stunned by Wang Ma's series of actions and stood there blankly staring at the two figures on the lakeside.
"Are these two crazy?! That's not the kind of calling they meant! I told you to call for help, but instead you went straight to the lake to cheer them on."
Not daring to delay any longer, they quickly called over some people who knew how to swim.
"Hurry, hurry, the young master is still waiting for you to rescue him in the water. If anything happens to him, he will make you all pay with your lives."
Just as everyone rushed over and hadn't had time to rescue the person, a ripple appeared on the calm lake surface, and a hand tightly clutching a ring emerged from the water. Under the sunlight, the ring shimmered with dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, Fu Xiaochen's wet head slowly emerged from the water, and he gasped for fresh air. "I found the ring."
Ye Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was safe and sound. "Come on up quickly."
"There's still one ring we haven't found." Fu Xiaochen said this and plunged back into the water.
Zhang Xinru relaxed when she saw that he was alright. She squatted down and touched the cold lake water. "Hey, isn't he cold? He's been in the water for so long. I hope he doesn't get leg cramps from the cold."
Wang Ma couldn't understand their actions: "You know, they threw the ring into the lake first, and then plunged in to look for it. What were they trying to achieve? Aren't they just making trouble for themselves?"
Zhang Xinru: "If you ask me, they just don't have enough shifts. If they could work in a factory tightening screws, they would be busy all day and naturally wouldn't cause so much trouble."
Ye Jiajia was anxiously waiting on the shore. Helpless, she could only threaten the other party with her own safety, "Fu Xiaochen, come up here quickly, or I'll jump down and join you right now."
After saying that, she pretended to jump down, which scared Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma so much that they quickly grabbed her. Why is the female lead causing trouble here? Can't she just stay quietly and shout slogans?
"Miss Jiajia, please be rational! You can't jump!"
"Miss Jiajia, you can't swim, don't risk your life!"
Ye Jiajia was pulled along and struggled even more fiercely, "Aunt Zhang, don't stop me. Since Fu Xiaochen wants to stay in the water, I'll stay with him to the end."
"..."
At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred to the person in the water. Because Fu Xiaochen had been hungry all morning, he had no strength left and struggled slightly.
The crowd gathered on the shore cried out in alarm, "Quick, save him! The young master has no strength left!"
Wang Ma also became nervous: "Oh my god, you really did jinx it? Young Master, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Zhang Xinru stared intently at the man in the lake, "How could it be my bad luck? He brought this on himself."
After being rescued, Fu Xiaochen was already numb from the cold and kept shivering.
Ye Jiajia rushed into his arms, her face streaked with tears, "Fu Xiaochen, are you alright?"
Zhang Xinru didn't want to pull the person away. "Sister, don't cry yet. Wait until we carry the person into the bedroom before you start crying. Now is not the time to cry."
Wang Ma took a blanket and draped it over Fu Xiaochen.
Even at this moment, Fu Xiaochen still raised his slightly trembling hand and gently wiped away the tears on Ye Jiajia's cheeks.
He forced a smile through his lips, which were blue and purple from the frozen lake water, and, struggling to keep his body from going cold and numb, comforted her in the gentlest voice he could muster.
"Don't cry, look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? It's just a pity that only one ring was found."
Ye Jiajia shook her head, laughing and crying at the same time, and grasped the other person's large hand in return, trying to offer them some warmth.
"Fool, it's just a ring, why are you going to such lengths? Is it worth it?"
Fu Xiaochen looked at the woman in his arms with deep affection and draped the blanket over Ye Jiajia. "It's worth it. Anything related to you is worth it."
Seeing Fu Xiaochen's actions, Wang Ma wanted to stop him but couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she had no choice but to bring another blanket and drape it over Fu Xiaochen.
"Young Master, shall we go back to the bedroom first?"
No one paid her any attention; the male and female protagonists were immersed in their own worlds.
Zhang Xinru rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Go on and on, you two are going to keep going. What kind of quirk is this, making so many people watch you perform like this?"
