Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Chapter 214 Acting Bravely

The man never thought that Ye Wenwu would dare to hug Xu Ying in front of him again. He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Ye Wenwu and said, "Boy, you are looking for death!"

Ye Wenwu completely ignored him, turned his head and looked at Xu Ying gently, and asked softly: "Yingying, are you okay?"

Xu Ying felt warm in her heart and shook her head. Then she glared at Ye Wenwu and said coquettishly, "Why did you come just now?"

Ye Wenwu smiled and said, "I'm here."

Seeing this, the gloomy man became even more angry. He stared at Ye Wenwu fiercely and said with gritted teeth: "How dare you ignore me?"

Ye Wenwu finally looked the gloomy man straight in the eye, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of me looking at you straight in the face?"

After saying that, Ye Wenwu took Xu Ying's hand, turned around and prepared to leave.

The feminine man never thought that Ye Wenwu, a child from a common worker's family, would dare not give him any face at all. Looking at their backs as they left, hatred flashed in his eyes.

He stood there, clenching his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. He originally thought that with his identity and status, he could easily control the situation, but he didn't expect that his plan would be ruined by an inconspicuous person like Ye Wenwu.

"Xu Ying, since you have become so depraved, don't blame me, Li Yihan. Don't think that just because your grandfather is Old Xu, I won't dare to touch you. When the time comes, it will be a fait accompli and you won't have any say in it." He said gritting his teeth, his voice full of resentment.

Li Yihan's eyes became sharp and firm, as if he had made up his mind to make Xu Ying his woman. He believed that as long as he had enough means and patience, he would be able to achieve this goal.

Thinking of this, the feminine man showed a slight smile. He seemed to see the future scene, that Xu Ying would eventually succumb to his power and become his wife.

However, he did not realize that Xu Ying was not the kind of woman who was easily tempted by power and wealth. She had her own persistence and principles and would not easily compromise. It was still unknown who would win or lose in this struggle of love...

On the other side, Ye Wenwu looked at Xu Ying with a wry smile, secretly complaining in his heart. He had never intended to get involved in this complicated emotional entanglement.

Li Yihan had already made it very clear to Ye Wenwu that they both lived in the same compound and grew up together, and could be said to be childhood sweethearts. But now, he had offended Li Yihan because of helping Xu Ying, which was really not worth the loss!

Xu Ying looked at Ye Wenwu with a little apology. She actually didn't want to involve Ye Wenwu. But there was no way. This idea was proposed by Ye Wenwu himself, so she could only go with the flow. In addition, she had a deep affection for Ye Wenwu in her heart, and Li Yihan's pursuit of her had always made her feel troubled and depressed. So, she decided to take this opportunity to completely get rid of Li Yihan's entanglement.

Today, Ye Wenwu's intimate actions towards her, such as hugging and kissing, made Xu Ying feel his feelings. She knew that Ye Wenwu had her in his heart, which made her feel extremely warm and at ease.

"Wenwu, since this has already happened, if Li Yihan causes trouble for you, you must tell me, and I will tell my grandfather about it."

"Besides, this matter was originally his fault. I have already told him very clearly that I have no feelings for him, but he keeps pestering me."

Ye Wenwu shook his head helplessly: "Xu Ying, you should have told me about this in advance instead of dragging me here. At that time, I was forced by the other party's words and had no choice but to react like that."

Xu Ying looked at Ye Wenwu with a little apology. In fact, she didn't expect Ye Wenwu to suddenly hug her and kiss her. After all, Li Yihan was not a generous person. Now Ye Wenwu's behavior was undoubtedly a slap in his face. However, despite this, Ye Wenwu's behavior still made Xu Ying feel a little relieved and satisfied.

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong and I won't do this again next time. If a similar situation happens again, I will definitely tell you the first time." Xu Ying said softly.

Seeing the clear apology in Xu Ying's eyes, Ye Wenwu knew that she was apologizing sincerely, so he stopped caring about it. He smiled and said, "Okay, this is the last time. If there is a next time, I will really turn hostile."

Seeing that Ye Wenwu was not angry, Xu Ying finally felt relieved and smiled. She hugged Ye Wenwu's arm tightly and said coquettishly, "Hey, thank you, Brother Wenwu, for not getting angry with me! Now that the matter has been resolved, I will take you to visit Yunlong Park. There are several beautiful scenic spots here. I usually come here whenever I have time during this season."

Hearing Xu Ying's words, Ye Wenwu couldn't help but feel curious. He was full of expectations for Yunlong Park and wanted to see the beautiful scenery that Xu Ying loved so much. So, he nodded in agreement and followed Xu Ying into the sparkling lake of Yunlong Park.

"Help, help."

The shouting came from a lake in the distance. It turned out that someone had fallen into the water while playing in the park.

Ye Wenwu and Xu Ying also heard the cry for help. After looking at each other, they immediately ran towards the scene.

When they arrived at the lake, they saw a little girl of seven or eight years old struggling desperately in the water.

The girl's mother, a middle-aged woman, stood on the shore, extremely anxious. Although people in this era dressed very similarly, Ye Wenwu could tell at a glance that this middle-aged woman had an extraordinary temperament and her family background should not be simple.

A group of people gathered at the lake shore. None of them could swim, and the shore was nearly two meters higher than the lake water, so they could only worry. Everyone talked about it, hoping that someone who could swim would jump in and save the people.

"Wenwu, what should we do? It seems like no one can swim." Everyone looked at the lake anxiously, their faces full of worry and helplessness.

At this time, the little girl in the lake was struggling less and less. It was obvious that she was exhausted and could not hold on for much longer.

The small sailboat in the distance was still some distance away from them. Although everyone was hoping that it would get closer quickly, they knew that by the time the boat docked, the little girl might have met with an accident.

Ye Wenwu was extremely anxious and sighed secretly. He knew how to swim in his previous life, but he had never tried it in this life. However, saving people was the most important thing, so he had no time to think about other things.

"Xu Ying, help me get some clothes." Ye Wenwu said as he quickly took off his shirt and trousers, leaving only his underwear. Then, he ran to the lake without hesitation and jumped into the lake.

The lake water was freezing cold, but Ye Wenwu was not afraid and swam towards the little girl. With each stroke, he felt his strength gradually depleting, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. Finally, he approached the little girl and hugged her tightly.

"Don't be afraid, uncle is here to save you!" Ye Wenwu comforted her. The little girl was terrified and hugged his neck tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life. Ye Wenwu tried to keep his balance and swam to the shore with the little girl.

After a lot of hard work, Ye Wenwu finally succeeded in getting the little girl to shore. People gathered around and asked about the girl's condition. Ye Wenwu was so tired that he sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Wenwu, are you okay?"

Seeing that everyone was eager to care about the little girl's situation, but no one cared about Ye Wenwu, Xu Ying ran over immediately.

Just now, when Ye Wenwu took off his clothes and jumped into the river, she was shocked, fearing that Ye Wenwu could not swim.

Ye Wenwu was also a little scared. If it weren't for the memories of his past life, and the fact that the little girl had obviously drunk too much water and had less strength and energy to struggle, he might have really fallen into this trap.

The main reason was that he was exhausted from riding a bicycle to bring Xu Ying here just now. In addition, such intense exercise made him feel a little overwhelmed.

But seeing Xu Ying's worried look and the fact that she was about to cry, Ye Wenwu quickly explained:

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after I rest for a while."

"You said you were fine, but when I saw you jump, my heart jumped with you. And you almost didn't make it out just now."

Seeing the girl in front of him with tears in her eyes and a face full of worry and nervousness, Ye Wenwu felt a warm feeling in his heart.

However, when he saw tears in Xu Ying's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He patted her hand gently, trying to comfort her: "Don't worry, it's really okay. It just takes a little time to recover your strength."

Although he tried his best to remain calm, he couldn't completely hide his concerns about his physical condition.

He knew that this adventure might be beyond his ability, but he didn't want to make Xu Ying worry too much.

"You said you were fine, but when I saw you jump, my heart jumped with you. And you almost didn't make it out just now."

Seeing that Ye Wenwu was still talking in a boastful manner, Xu Ying immediately slapped his other arms.

Ye Wenwu felt the pain in his arm and shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew that Xu Ying's concern was genuine, so he didn't mean to blame her.

On the contrary, he felt very warm because someone cared about his safety.

"I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine now."

Ye Wenwu smiled and comforted her, hoping to ease Xu Ying's tension.

He understands that sometimes people worry too much, but he believes he can overcome difficulties.
