Chapter 27 The person who saved me that year wasn't you

me!"The anger and resentment that spread through his chest, his right fist slammed heavily on the table, "I've already married you, he has to bring Ye Xi back to deceive me!"With a clang, the waiter..."Let go!"

< Qiao Baoer heard someone calling her, and as soon as she turned around, she was held down by the other person's hands at the railing by the river. Angry, she pushed him away, "Yi Sicheng, let me go—" >

"Bao'er, calm down. I have something to tell you."

He looked at her with complex eyes, his right hand gripping her wrist. "You leave my cousin..."

"Yi Sicheng, my business is none of your concern, we're already divorced!"

qiao Bao'er was furious, struggling to pry his hand open.

He looked into her eyes, "The divorce is my fault. I was wrong to have someone take compromising photos of you at the club that day. But Bao'er, Jun Zhi Mu is truly not right for you. I checked, and Jun Zhi Mu only agreed to marry you because you look like his deceased girlfriend. He only sees you as a shadow of her. And when you kissed him that day, he was disgusted..."

I said, it's none of your business!

She's been out of sorts these past few days, and when he said that, she was instantly furious.

"You came here just to mock me, to ridicule me, didn't you Yi Sicheng, I've told you, if you dare to bother me again, I won't be polite..."

Jo Baoer's empty-handed karate wasn't for show. As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed his right arm with a backhand and spun around, pressing him against the railing. She leaned forward, wanting to teach him a lesson.

But unexpectedly, Yi Sicheng was pinned under her. He was so stunned that he froze, his right foot landing on a round stone…

Somehow, he lost his balance and plunged into the river with a splash.

Qiao Bao'er looked at the dark surface of the river, where tall water splashes were splashing, and for a moment she was stunned.

"Yi Sicheng—" A second later, he cried out in alarm at the surface of the water.

Only some dim streetlights by the shore, it was impossible to see the river's condition.

"Yisichen—" she cried out in alarm, her voice echoing across the water.

"Help, help me..." she faintly heard a cry for help.

Qiao Bao'er felt anxious. She hadn't thought about pushing him into the river, Yi Sicheng seemed like he couldn't swim.

Her nervous expression, she wanted him to die even if she hated him so much, immediately took off her shoes, climbed over the railing by the river, and jumped down.

"Yi Sicheng, where are you..."

The icy February river water chilled her to the bone. She shivered uncontrollably in the water, paddling frantically around her.

Keep shouting, "Yi Sicheng, where are you, I'm coming to save you..."

Under the dim streetlights, she saw some bubbles rising from the river on her right. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately swam over...

"Yi Sicheng, hold on."

In this moment of life and death, she held him by the waist with both hands.

Gritting her teeth, Qiao Ba'er used all her strength to swim with him towards the riverbank.

A ripple of water trailed across the surface as she anxiously dragged him onto the shore, her every muscle straining. She nervously slapped his face, "Wake up! Yì Sī Chén, wake up! Don't scare me—"

Yi Sicheng's face was pale and bloodless, his eyes tightly shut, still unresponsive.

Jo Baoer's eyes were bloodshot, and her body, submerged in the river water, shivered in the night wind. Her trembling hands pressed down on his chest repeatedly, performing CPR.

"Yi Sicen, wake up, come on, wake up!" What if he's really dead.

She frantically called out, raising her right hand to lift his chin and leaning down to perform CPR.

Soon, the man beneath him choked several times and coughed up a mouthful of river water.

Yi Sicheng opened his eyes, his vision blurry as he looked at the woman in front of him. His throat was injured, and his voice was hoarse as he called out her name, "Qiao Baoruo..."

When Qiao Baoer saw him wake up, she was so excited that she almost cried. She really thought she had killed him.

Suddenly, the man beneath her looked up at her with tear-filled eyes and an expression of excitement that made a strange, indescribable feeling stir within her heart.

Though he had just fainted in the river, he could feel her urgency and genuine worry. It was more touching and moving than any other woman's coquettish act...

"Bao'er, I was wrong before. I made a mistake, and I really did. My mother forced me to marry you. For three years of our marriage, I never truly looked at you. I deserve to die..."

She was suddenly pulled into Yi Sicheng's arms and held tightly.

Their clothes were soaked through, the river water icy cold, and the night wind biting. Yet, their bodies huddled close together radiated a feverish heat.

"Bao'er, I really didn't cheat on you during our marriage. Ye Xi suddenly appeared with her child these past two months. She used to be my girlfriend. I didn't know she was pregnant and went abroad. She just came back suddenly, that's why..."

"I'm sorry, please give me another chance. I'll take good care of you, I can really stop caring about the fact that you were raped by men..."

Qiao Bao'er didn't react for a moment. She hurriedly jumped into the river to save people, frightened and at a loss. Her body was chilled, her brain felt heavy and dizzy, and inexplicably, she felt drained of strength when he held her so tightly that she couldn't push him away.

Yi Sicheng's voice echoed in her ears, never had he been so tender with his confession to her.

If three years ago, he was forced to marry her and those sweet words were fake, then now they sound more genuine.

It's just that these words seem a bit strange...

"What did you say that got you gangbanged"

Jo Baoer frowned and struggled to push him away. Under the quiet night by the river, her eyes instantly became bright.

"Yi Sicheng, what did you just say about being gang-raped" She asked insistently.

Yi Sicheng took a few sips of water, the man's physique recovered quickly, he got up, staring deeply into her eyes as if filled with emotion, "Ba'er, I won't mind these things anymore, no matter how many men there were that day…"

"I'm asking you, what exactly are you talking about!" Qiao Baoer's mind suddenly felt like a boom, her voice rising in volume as she shouted.

Yi Sicheng looked into her clear eyes, seeing a strange kind of persistence. "Your high school graduation trip..."

High school graduation trip...

qiao bao er was completely shocked, her eyes were tangled and complex as she looked at him, with some confusion, some bewilderment, and some disbelief.

"You're saying I was assaulted by that gang of thugs on our graduation trip" She looked confused, muttering softly.

Yi Sicheng lowered his head, his face a mixture of struggle, hatred, and guilt.

For three years of marriage, he and she lived under the same roof. The reason he was unwilling to get close to her wasn't that he truly disliked her.

But he couldn't forget that time, Qiao Baoer's high school graduation trip. She was covered in wounds, her clothes torn... He thought she was dirty.

"Bao'er, you risked your life to save me. I truly won't mind that kind of you anymore..."

He leaned in close to her, whispering a promise, "Yexi only got close to me for the money. I'll take care of it. Just trust me again."

qiao Baoer listened to his promises, so gentle and extreme, but there was no emotion on her face.

For a moment, she didn't care if he had cheated, if he had a child out of wedlock, or if Ye Xi had stolen her husband. She was completely frozen in place.

"Yi Sicheng, you...it turns out..." After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice trembling.

Yisichen looked at her, and at this moment, he felt that Qiao Baier's gaze towards him was unfamiliar as never before.

"Yi Sicheng, it turns out the person who saved me on that high school graduation trip wasn't you!"

She took a deep breath and demanded an answer, her voice choked with too many complex emotions.

"That time on the high school graduation trip, someone came to my rescue when I was in danger. I wasn't defiled by those bandits, no, not one of them!" she yelled in a choked voice.

Yi Sicheng was stunned when he heard this.

When he arrived at the scene, all the bandits had already fled. Seeing her clothes disheveled, he thought she had been raped and abandoned on the hillside...

"Yi Sicheng, you lied to me! You said you saved me, you lied to me—"

Qiao Bao'er became emotionally agitated, her hands tightly gripping his shoulders, her knuckles turning white. "It wasn't you, it wasn't you after all! The person who saved me that day wasn't you! Why did you lie to me—" She sounded like she was mocking herself, as if recalling the horrifying ordeal of that day.

Qiao Baoer suddenly pushed him away. She stood up slowly, her expression becoming dazed.

"Who was it, who saved me that day..."

Her lips, pale and trembling, muttered incessantly. She couldn't recall the man's features, but she would never forget that day.

Yi Sicheng sat by this dirty riverbank, he raised his head to look at her, suddenly, as if understanding something.

Qiao Bao'er just now fought so hard to save him, and for these years she has endured loving and caring for him, all because she mistook him for the man who saved her that year.

Yi Sicheng didn't know how to describe his mood, it was ridiculous, as if he were being toyed with by fate.

When he suddenly understood what true love and movediment were at the brink of death, he was no longer qualified.

Because the person who saved her that year wasn't him, that day he just casually and randomly admitted it.

Who fell in love first, and who owes whom...

Now the riverside was crowded with onlookers. Citizens had called the police, and an ambulance arrived soon after.

When the doctor walked up to Qiao Bao'er to ask about her condition, she looked at him, her gaze flickering with multiple images. Perhaps it was a chill or a mental blow, but suddenly her vision darkened and her body went limp as she fainted.

Qiao Bao'er was burning up all over, and the icy February river water seeped deep into her bones, especially at night. The reason she was so reckless was actually because she remembered the ordeal she had endured once before.

She was sent to the hospital. A high fever made her delirious.

She had many dreams, the terrifying ordeal of her near-death experience on her high school graduation trip became her biggest nightmare.

And during Qiao Bao'er's coma, she was unaware that she had become an internet sensation.

The super heroine fearlessly leaped into the icy river to rescue the handsome man...

A beautiful woman embraces and kisses deeply with tears, sincerely awakening her lover...

If one could disregard everything else for this, then it must be love from the very core...

One by one, exaggerated network video titles, followed by the scene of Qiao Baoer jumping into the river to save Yi Sicheng.

These videos were all taken by passersby near the river. Some captured her jumping into the river, while others caught her frantically performing CPR on Yi Sicheng.
