After an unknown amount of time, Edward, who was in a daze, vaguely heard the noise of many people. Am I dead? Was this the legendary hell? He kept asking himself.
However, his vision gradually became clearer and told him the truth. What he saw were anxious faces, cold and tearful faces, Xiao Shi's forehead sweating, Gao Fengliang's anxious face, and the two girls 'tearful faces. There were also some faces that looked like lifeguards, and then there were the faces in white coats, presumably doctors and nurses. There were also all kinds of unfamiliar faces.
"Brother." A heart-wrenching roar came from the other end.
"Xiao Sen." Xiao Shi and Gao Fengliang also shouted at the top of their lungs.
Su Fei and Qin Wen were so exhausted that they could only sob.
After a bout of retching, Edward felt a wave of discomfort in his stomach and vomited a lot.
"Alright, alright. Everyone, don't worry. The fact that he can vomit out proves that he's fine.”The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He wore a white coat and looked like a doctor.
Edward felt much better after vomiting. It was only then that he realized that he was surrounded by a lot of people, and everyone was looking at him like a monster. However, Edward liked to be looked at like this because it was the only way to prove that he was still alive.
"Young hero."
"There aren't many young people who sacrifice themselves for others these days.”
Many tourists discussed animatedly. Of course, they were all praising his words.
"You're finally awake. You scared us to death.”It was Leng Liang who spoke.
"Will I get into trouble easily? I have nine lives." Edward replied jokingly.
"Don't talk nonsense. Lie down properly. If you really die young, what will we do?”After her joy, she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.
"Is she alright?" Edward quickly thought of Dai Mengni.
"You're already in this state, yet you're still thinking about beautiful women. I really admire your courage. I wonder if there's anyone who can sacrifice their lives to save me.”Sophie was obviously jealous of the person who had been saved, and at the same time, she was provoking Leng Liang.
"She's fine. She's lying in the next room.”The terrified Qin Wen saw the anxious Edward telling him the truth.
"That's good, that's good." At this moment, the weak Edward was relieved.
"Alright, alright, everyone go out. He's very weak now. Let him rest for a while.”The doctor ordered everyone.
"Alright, then please take good care of him. We'll leave first.”Gao Fengliang instructed the doctor.
"Got it. I'll take good care of this little hero.”The doctor smiled and reassured everyone.
"All of you can go out. I'm really fine.”Edward reassured his worried friends.
About an hour later, a loud noise woke Edward up from his deep sleep.
"Brothers, I'm really fine. Why are you here again?”Edward shouted with his eyes closed.
"Hello," It was an unfamiliar voice.
Edward was shocked and quickly stood up. It wasn't them who had come, but a few men and women in their twenties. They were holding microphones, cameras, and the like. They looked like reporters.
" You are…" Edward asked in doubt.
"Oh, Mr. Ai, don't be nervous. We're reporters from Duolun Station. We heard that someone was doing a good deed, so we rushed over to give you an interview.”The reporters explained the purpose of their trip.
"Oh." Edward replied casually. He didn't understand why his friend, or even his lover, would be so brave.
" What did you think before you went into the water?" the reporter asked.
"I didn't think too much about it. I just can't let her get hurt at all.”Edward replied.
"Then have you considered the risk of your life?”The reporter asked.
"I didn't think too much about it. I just knew that I couldn't let him get hurt.”Edward replied.
He asked a few more irrelevant questions, but Edward answered them one by one. Perhaps it was his personality, but he didn't like these so-called fake things.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ai. We'll do a special report for you when we get back.”The reporters then left.
After a short while, his brothers returned. Xiao Shi, Liang Liang, Gao Fengliang, Qin Wen, and Su Fei. However, the last one that shocked him was Dai Mengni.
Edward looked at Sophie, who was glowing red, and didn't look like she was drowning at all. A terrifying thought came to his mind. He had saved the wrong person, but he couldn't believe it. He had to confirm it.
"Why didn't I see Dai Mengni?”Edward asked.
"Oh, didn't he go to buy water for you, the little hero?”Sophie answered her question.
Dai Mengni gently placed the water on the bedside cabinet and said,""Are you feeling better? Have some water." The business was much gentler than before, but Edward did not feel it in his heart, because Dai Mengni's words had given him a definite answer. He had saved the wrong person.
"Put it somewhere. The river water is full.”Although he knew that he had asked the wrong person, he was unwilling to say it. Instead, he used a humorous answer to avoid this matter. Perhaps true love was to silently give.
" What were you thinking before you went into the water?" the reporter asked.
"I didn't think too much about it. I just can't let her get hurt at all.”Edward replied.
"Then have you considered the risk of your life?”The reporter asked.
"I didn't think too much about it. I just knew that I couldn't let her get hurt.”Edward replied.
The reporter asked some more irrelevant questions, and Edward answered them one by one. Perhaps it was a matter of personality, but he didn't like these so-called fake things.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ai. We'll do a special report for you when we get back. Rest well. We'll be leaving first.”The reporters then left.
After a short while, his brothers returned. Xiao Shi, Liang Liang, Gao Fengliang, Qin Wen, and Su Fei. However, the last one that shocked him was Dai Mengni.
Edward looked at the glowing Damoni, who didn't look like she was drowning at all. A terrifying thought came to his mind. He had saved the wrong person, but he couldn't believe it. He had to confirm it.
"Why didn't I see Dai Mengni earlier?”Edward asked.
"Oh, didn't she go to buy water for you, the little hero?”Sophie answered her question.
Dai Mengni gently placed the water on the bedside cabinet and said,""Are you feeling better? Have some water." Her voice was much gentler than before, but Edward didn't feel it in his heart, because Dai Mengni's words had given him a definite answer. He had mistaken her.
"Leave it there. The river water is full.”Although he knew that he had asked the wrong person, he was unwilling to say it. Instead, he used a humorous answer to avoid this matter. Perhaps true love was to silently give.
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard that. Dai Mengni also smiled at Edward.
"By the way, why were those people looking for you just now?”Gao Fengliang asked.
"Nothing much, just some reporters from Duolun TV.”Edward was extremely calm.
"Really? Then won't you become a celebrity in Doronor? These good people might get extra points for the college entrance examination.”Gao Fengliang said excitedly.
"Forget it. It's just a formality. It's impossible to expect him to give me extra points. I don't have much hope for China.”Edward spoke his mind. He didn't have any lofty ideals, he just wanted his grandparents to live a good life in the future. He was even more interested in being an official.
"I think so too. Don't hold too much hope in China.”The answer that Leng Liang gave was very similar to Edward's.
"The two of you have quite a deep prejudice against the secular world.”Xiao Shi said sarcastically.
"Of course. If you're successful, you can help the world. If you're poor, you can protect yourself. This is my motto.”Edward boasted about his ideals.
"Then you don't have to eat anymore. Pretend to be great.”Sophie also represented the materialistic faction and fought back against Edward.
"Young ladies like you, how can you understand our lives?”Liang Liang also pretended to sigh.
"Humph." Sophie glared at the two brothers and ignored them.
As time passed, a knock on the door surprised everyone.
"I'll open the door." The one who spoke was Little Shi.
A middle-aged couple entered the room. They were both wearing branded sportswear and looked like they had some status, but their faces were filled with gratitude.
"Are you Edward?" As he spoke, the man rushed forward and grabbed Edward, tears rolling down his face.
" Yes, you are…" Edward questioned.
" Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you for saving my daughter despite your personal safety. We only have one daughter…" The man's words answered Edward's question. It turned out to be the little girl's parents.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's what we should do.”Edward said politely.
"Benefactor, you're too polite. You've made us husband and wife even more unable to repay you. Please accept our worship.”As he spoke, he pulled his wife and knelt before Edward.
Edward was shocked, and so were the others. "Get up quickly." As he spoke, Edward hurriedly got off the bed. Liang Liang and Xiao Liang also hurriedly helped him up.
"I won't say anything else. It's rare to see a good child like you.”As the man spoke, his tears flowed uncontrollably.
"It's okay. Is it something I should do?”Edward was still very polite.
The man became even more excited. "I have no way to repay your kindness. I can only invite you and your friends to a restaurant to express our gratitude.”
"No need, there's no need for that." Edward declined.
"Yes, there is. This is a small token from the two of us, so please do us a favor. Let's go back and prepare." Then, he turned around and left.
"Alright then." Edward could only agree when he saw that it was difficult for the other party to refuse.
"I'm so envious. It's good to be a hero.”Su Fei looked at Edward enviously.
"Then I'll let you go next time.”Edward teased her.
Before he could finish his sentence, a waiter came in. "Mr. Fang is inviting everyone over."
Everyone was shocked. This speed was too fast. "Got it. You can go back first." Gao Fengliang dismissed the waiter.
"This is too fast." Liang Liang questioned.
"Don't be so wishy-washy. He might have prepared it long ago. He won't harm everyone. Let's go quickly.”Qin Wen, who had not spoken for a long time, said.
"Yes, everyone, go ahead. Otherwise, we'll seem petty.”Edward ordered.
Dahekou Restaurant.
Although this place was not in the city, everyone knew that the food here was all wild animals. Usually, only rich people came here. Ordinary people could not afford it.
"The little hero is here. Follow me." The one who spoke was a boy in his twenties.
Edward smiled in return, and then everyone followed him to a luxurious private room on the fourth floor (the highest floor here). Edward's secretary, Gao Fengliang, was shocked and secretly sighed at the extravagant life of the rich, but Sophie was used to it.
"Benefactor is here." The middle-aged man quickly walked up to him.
"You can call me Little Sen, just like them.”Edward felt uncomfortable hearing the words 'benefactor'.
"Alright, alright. Everyone, please take a seat. Don't stand on ceremony, don't stand on ceremony.”The man called out to everyone.
At this moment, Edward saw a few lifeguards and a mother and son sitting at the table. They must be the man's wife and daughter. In a moment, everyone was seated.
The men filled their cups one by one and then took the lead to raise their glasses. "This first toast is to Xiao Sen and the lifeguards. Thank you for saving my life.”As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp, showing his sincerity.
"Don't thank us. If you want to thank someone, thank this little classmate. If he hadn't delayed your daughter's time and we happened to rush over, then I'm afraid..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm toasting Xiao Sen.”He drank again.
Edward's mouth was also dry, but he knew that the dishes had not been served yet. He was afraid that he would ask for too much."Anyway, the result is good. Everyone is safe. Everyone, please don't stand on ceremony.”
Hearing this, everyone laughed. Dai Mengni also laughed.
