A Young Woman's Heart

Perhaps everyone feels fear in the face of death.

Even people who want to commit suicide are the same.

The woman slowly sat down on the railing, looking down at the seemingly bottomless river below, as if recalling her past life.

Once she makes up her mind, she will definitely jump.

There weren't many pedestrians passing by; maybe one person would walk by every two or three minutes.

Occasionally, passersby would only glance at her with surprise, then hurry away as if afraid of causing trouble.

Although the arched bridge is very close to Gao Yuan and his group, they have to take a detour to get there.

When Gao Yuan finally arrived at the arched bridge, panting heavily, the woman was clenching her fists, closing her eyes, and preparing to jump.

"Hey!!" Gao Yuan shouted hurriedly, and suddenly a woman rushed out from behind her and grabbed her legs.

The woman who jumped off the bridge hit her head on the railing. The intense pain seemed to bring her back to her senses, and her instinctive will to survive was rekindled.

"Help..." she cried out weakly and fearfully, but at that moment she had nothing to grab onto.

The woman who saved her jumped onto the railing and grabbed her, but she also lost her balance a bit at this moment.

Gao Yuan snapped out of his daze and rushed over, about to grab the woman who had saved the person, but missed.

They both lost their balance and fell. Although they slowed their descent by passing over protrusions on the arched bridge, they still inevitably fell into the water.

The suicidal woman clung to another woman, who also seemed to be a poor swimmer. Being held by another woman made it even harder for her to move freely, and she could only struggle to surface.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Zhou Yong was prepared. He threw off his cumbersome coat and plunged into the river.

The school's swimming lessons not only teach students how to swim, but also teach them some basic rescue knowledge—such as how to rescue someone who has fallen into the water.

However, it is quite tricky when two people fall into the water at the same time.

Without a second thought, he rushed to the two women with even greater speed than during the exam. The woman who was being dragged and struggling saw him and her eyes lit up. She then pushed the woman who was trying to commit suicide towards him.

Zhou Yong quickly held her tightly, preventing her from moving around as much as possible, and then swam vigorously towards the shore.

The woman who saved the woman clearly knew how to swim, but perhaps she wasn't strong enough, which is why she kept being dragged underwater by the woman who had tried to commit suicide.

Zhou Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief once everyone had returned to shore.

"Huh... Brother Chan?"

"Phew... thank goodness you came." Tian Tingchan shook her wet hair, looking quite dashing.

His heart suddenly raced for a moment, and then he secretly resented the woman who wanted to commit suicide.

If you want to commit suicide, find a secluded place to die. Dying in a place like this would only harm others.

The person who tries to save her might die along with her.

"Slap, slap." He quickly patted his cheeks, suppressing his negative emotions. "What a coincidence..."

"Hmm." Tian Tingchan nodded, not having time to exchange pleasantries with him. She squatted down and, with very professional and skilled movements, began to perform abdominal compressions on the drowning woman. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, she finally slowly opened her eyes.

Zhou Yong finally had time to examine the woman closely. She was about twenty years old, with a thin face and little flesh on her body, looking like skin and bones. Her eyes were cloudy, with heavy dark circles, and her skin had a sickly pale color.

She seemed to want to say something, but then suddenly her whole body convulsed, she rolled on the spot, and screamed in extremely shrill cries that Zhou Yong couldn't understand.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhou Yong took a half step back, wondering if he had encountered a madwoman.

"Are you all alright?" Gao Yuan ran back, panting heavily. This was more than his usual daily exercise.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that something's wrong with her..."

Tian Tingchan, a nursing student, frowned slightly: "...She's experiencing withdrawal symptoms, somewhat like someone recovering from drug use."

"Huh? He's a drug addict?" Zhou Yong couldn't help but show his disgust on his face.

"It's possible she was tricked into taking drugs." Tian Tingchan was also at a loss. It took a full quarter of an hour for the other person to finally calm down.

Meanwhile, the ambulance that Gao Yuan had called had arrived. They quickly lifted the woman onto a stretcher and rushed her to the hospital.

Gao Yuan and Zhou Yong packed up their fishing gear—Zhou Yong didn't want to go, but Gao Yuan, wanting to be responsible, asked him to come along.

The cicadas also traveled together.

The hospital is located nearby, very close by, so we can just walk there.

"Brother Chan, are you alright?" Compared to that woman, Zhou Yong was more worried about the person beside him.

"It's nothing." Tian Tingchan sneezed and gently covered her forehead.

"You'll catch a cold if you keep doing this. You'd better go home quickly," he asked with concern.

Gao Yuan deliberately kept a distance, giving them some private space.

"Hey, Zhou Yong's got some good luck with women..." he muttered to himself, glancing back every now and then.

Tian Tingchan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go back now."

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

"...I'll be home later, nothing much to do."

"what?"

"Want to come over and play?" Tian Tingchan gently pursed her lips.

"Uh... okay, okay..."

……

Chapter 154 Zhou Yong in Women's Clothing?

It was still raining.

Even though Zhou Yong had been on the bus for several tens of minutes, his clothes were only partially dry.

After arriving at the hospital, it took about ten minutes to determine that the woman was not seriously ill. However, the doctor said she had symptoms of drug use, so he called the police over, took a statement, and then left.

It's not that I didn't want to stay any longer, but my clothes were soaked.

Gao Yuan wanted to call him a taxi, but he refused and took the bus to Tian Tingchan's house instead.

"Dong dong."

About half a minute later, the door was gently pushed open.

"Uh, Brother Chan," Zhou Yong scratched his head, "Are you done washing up?"

"Mmm." Tian Tingchan's face was flushed, and she was still steaming, as if she had just taken a bath. "Do you want to take a bath?"

"Ah...right, I need to take a shower too...Achoo!!" Zhou Yong had just finished speaking when he sneezed loudly, then rubbed his nose sheepishly, took off his shoes, and went inside.

The river water is still very cold in winter, especially on rainy days.

He was lucky he didn't get a leg cramp when he went into the water to save the person.

Even now, thinking back on it, he still feels a bit scared.

If he hadn't been able to control that woman back then, he'd probably be drowning in the river by now.

Then it will be a case of the elderly burying their children...

But if time could be turned back and he could do it all over again, he would probably still make the same choice.

After all, he had been taught to be a good person and do good deeds since he was a child. By high school, his values ​​had been almost fully formed, and this "kindness" that was almost imprinted in his instincts was hard to erase.

"Do you want to take a bath?" Tian Tingchan asked, combing her still slightly damp long hair.

"A bath? Uh... I don't think so." Zhou Yong quickly ran upstairs. "I just need to take a shower."

"Yes, there is hot water."

"it is good."

In the washroom, Zhou Yong took off his clothes and looked at himself in the large mirror.

"Uh..." He pinched his belly, which seemed to have gotten a little bigger again, and smiled awkwardly at his reflection in the mirror. "How did I get fat again...?"

"Zhou Yong, a towel." Tian Tingchan knocked on the door, and he quickly opened it a crack and took a brand new towel through the crack.

"Oh no, I don't think I have any clothes to change into!" Zhou Yong scratched his head awkwardly. Not to mention that he had thrown all the clothes he had taken off into the pool, even if he put them away one by one, they were all soaking wet and unwearable.

Tian Tingchan, speaking through the door, was just as playful as she was on the forum: "Pfft, then you'll probably only be able to wear girls' clothes."

"Hey... cough, do you have a bath towel or something to wrap myself in?"

"Yes, there is... but... it's something I just used."

Do you mind?

"I...I'm alright."

Zhou Yong seemed to sense the hesitation in her tone: "Ah, never mind then, why don't you put my clothes in the washing machine first, and then I'll come out of the bathroom after they're dry?"

"That's already past that time."

"What should we do then..." Zhou Yong regretted his decision. Why was he in such a hurry? He should have gone home and taken a shower first before coming to Tian Tingchan's place...

It's just been a long time since we last met, why are you so excited?

He patted his forehead and muttered to himself, "Zhou Yong, Zhou Yong, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for her, would you?"

"Never mind..." Tian Tingchan's voice carried a hint of shyness, "You can wear my bathrobe..."

"Ah, thank you so much!"

Zhou Yong felt a little relieved and hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He showers very quickly, finishing in five minutes. It's really just a quick rinse; whether he's actually clean or not, only God knows.

"Brother Chan! Where's your bathrobe?"

“At your door—” Tian Tingchan’s voice came from downstairs.

Zhou Yong hurriedly pushed the bathroom door open a crack and saw a bathrobe neatly folded on a small stool by the door. He quickly picked it up.

The pink bathrobe was a little too small for him.

It's good enough for now, though.
