Lin Lanzhi came out of the classroom and walked aimlessly in the campus, and unknowingly came to the quietest place in the school - the artificial lake.
The sky with a few white clouds floating in it is clearly reflected on the lake. The bright sunshine covers the entire lake like a layer of golden gauze, and the gentle breeze mixed with a faint fragrance blows towards you.
She squatted on the stone road beside the lake, staring at the lake in a trance. Occasionally she stretched out a hand and gently slid it across the lake, or scooped up a handful of lake water and gently waved it, and the water splashed instantly, blooming with crystal light in the sun.
She played with water like a bored child, until the figure of a young boy was reflected on the lake. Then she stopped what she was doing and subconsciously looked up at the person beside her.
Her black eyes were as clear as the lake at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and ripples spread gently on the calm lake surface, sparkling with tiny lights, which was incredibly beautiful.
Mu Chuwei stared into her eyes and felt a brief blank in his mind. It seemed that his thoughts were deeply attracted by the brilliance in her eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed.
However, he also noticed that when these beautiful eyes looked at him, there was a hint of wariness and alienation in them.
This made him a little unhappy. His charm had always been invincible and girls all favored him, but she seemed not to take him seriously, as if he was not worthy of her attention.
So, he deliberately provoked trouble and said, "Every time I see you, you either want to jump off the building or jump into the lake, but I can't swim, so I can't save you this time."
Lin Lanzhi stood up suddenly, looked at him unhappily, and said, "I didn't mean to jump into the lake, and I didn't mean to jump off the building that day. It was you who suddenly showed up and scared me!"
scared?
Mu Chuwei couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "I greeted you several times, but you were distracted and didn't hear me. How can you say that I showed up suddenly?"
The four words "I didn't hear it" made Lin Lanzhi's expression freeze.
Seeing her eyes flickering and seeming a little guilty, Mu Chuwei took two steps closer to her face and said faintly, "Are you deliberately using this hard-to-get tactic to attract my attention? Then your acting skills are pretty good."
"To attract your attention?" Lin Lanzhi stared straight into his eyes, with a hint of emotion in her eyes. "People like you and I are from completely different worlds. I know myself well, so there's no need to waste my time and energy on you."
"You actually think so?" Mu Chuwei's expression changed slightly, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye. The smile on his mouth even deepened. "So, you are just afraid that you will not get a response after giving it your all, right?"
The breath from his mouth hit Lin Lanzhi's face. She suddenly felt her cheeks burning, but she could only try to suppress her inner shyness. She subconsciously pushed him and said loudly: "You think too much!"
She never expected that she only gave him a light push, but Mu Chuwei stumbled. In addition, they were standing very close to the lake, and with a , he fell into the lake.
She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. Without even bothering to wipe the water off her face, she shouted, "Mu Chuwei!"
"Hey, why are you still standing there? Save me!" Mu Chuwei struggled desperately, slapping the water with his slender hands and shouting at her anxiously.
"But I can't swim!" Looking at his miserable appearance in the water, Lin Lanzhi felt unprecedented panic in her heart, fearing that he would sink to the bottom of the lake and never float up again in the next moment. She was so anxious that a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Then you want to..." Mu Chuwei sank into the water again while speaking. Just when Lin Lanzhi's breathing stagnated, he emerged from the water again, shook off the water droplets on his hair, and finished what he had just said, "Are you going to watch me die without saving me?"
Lin Lanzhi tried hard to suppress the panic and fear , forced herself to calm down, and said, "I'll go get someone to save you!"
"It's too late! I can't... I can't hold on any longer!" While speaking, Mu Chuwei sank into the lake twice.
Lin Lanzhi was extremely scared, even more so than when she learned that she could no longer hear after the car accident. She couldn't imagine that if another person died because of her, it would be more painful than letting her die herself.
She squatted down by the lake, then mustered up the courage to lean her body into the lake, stretched out her arms as far as she could, and said, "Come closer, hold my hand, and I'll pull you out!"
After hearing this, Mu Chuwei quickly grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
Lin Lanzhi was delighted, but the next second, her eyes revealed an extremely horrified look - he actually grabbed her hand and pulled it hard, pulling her into the lake.
"ah--"
She screamed, and her whole body quickly left the shore and soon fell into the lake.
The coolness came from all directions, and she couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of lake water. She choked and coughed continuously, and didn't realize that she fell into someone's arms.
Her feet kept kicking and her arms slapping the water. It was not until she heard a triumphant laugh above her head that she suddenly realized that although she fell into the water, the lake water was only submerged to her chest.
Then she realized that the reason her body did not sink was because she was being held up by someone, in an extremely intimate hug.
She subconsciously raised her head and saw Mu Chuwei looking down at her with a smile, his lips curled up in a nice arc, his face full of smugness. He smiled and said, "Do you think we look like mandarin ducks playing in the water now?"
Lin Lanzhi glared at him fiercely.
It turns out that this guy can swim. Then maybe he staged his own fall into the water just now. He deliberately tricked her into saving him, but took the opportunity to pull her into the water. He is indeed an actor. With such superb acting skills, he completely fooled her.
"You are so despicable!"
She gritted her teeth and took a long time to utter the word to vent her anger. Then she stretched out her arms and pushed him hard, struggling hard to break free from his arms.
Mu Chuwei let her beat his chest, but he never let go. He held her waist tightly with one hand, and held the rock by the lake with the other hand, and smiled meaningfully: "Is this mean? I'm just tit for tat, you pushed me into the water first."
"You bastard! Let me go!" Lin Lanzhi used her hands and feet, and when she got the chance, she seemed to want to open her mouth and bite him.
She waved her arms wildly, splashing water and making both of their faces wet with a layer of water droplets.
A deep light flashed in Mu Chuwei's eyes, and he asked, "Do you really want me to let you go?"
"Yeah!" Lin Lanzhi looked at him and answered without hesitation.
"That's what you said." Mu Chuwei smiled evilly, winked at her, slowly loosened his hand, and gently pushed her aside.
With her body losing support, Lin Lanzhi, who had no swimming experience, immediately felt a strong sense of helplessness and confusion. She waved her arms and slapped the water frantically .
The lake water quickly covered her head, and she was choked and her mind went blank. With the last bit of consciousness she had left, she tried to grab the rocks and bushes by the lake, but no matter how hard she tried, her hands could never reach their target.
She had no idea how to move in the water. She was like a helpless fallen leaf. She could only watch her body being swallowed by the lake. Her consciousness gradually blurred, her chest became more and more stuffy, and the oxygen was slowly drained from her body. She was about to suffocate...
Just when her consciousness became blurred, a tall figure vaguely entered her field of vision, like an angel, facing the light, with a pair of transparent wings spread behind it, slowly swimming towards her.
He swam closer and closer.
Perhaps because he was in the water, his facial features were covered with a layer of mist, making him look unusually handsome, like a noble prince in a fairy tale, so handsome that it was beyond words.
Then, she felt a soft and warm touch on her lips, which gave her the illusion that she was wrapped in sunshine.
Mu Chuwei grabbed her shoulders, covered her lips with his mouth, and passed oxygen to her little by little, awakening her blurred consciousness.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and Lin Lanzhi looked at the scene in a trance.
Everything was as incredible as a beautiful dream, something she had never felt before. She thought obsessively that if it was a dream, she would rather immerse herself in it forever and never wake up. But the feeling on his lips was so strong, and his hand holding her shoulder was so strong.
She was startled and subconsciously reached out her hand to push him away, but she couldn't push him away at all. His hands and lips seemed to be nailed to her body, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do anything to him.
It seemed like a century had passed before Mu Chuwei left her lips, helped her float to the surface, and swam to the shore.
After the near-death experience, Lin Lanzhi developed a great fear of water, so when Mu Chuwei let her go, she immediately reached out to grab the rocks by the lake and struggled to climb up.
She lay by the lake, panting heavily, her whole body wet, with water droplets falling to the ground. After adjusting her breathing, she raised her head and glared at Mu Chuwei beside her, accusing him unhappily: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Why did you do this to me?"
Mu Chuwei squatted down, pinched her chin frivolously, and raised a charming arc at the corner of his lips: "What did I do to you? Now count it, I saved you twice! You must remember me as your benefactor, and don't be so cold when we meet next time."
Lin Lanzhi bit her lip angrily as if she had heard an extremely ironic joke and said, "You saved me twice? It was because of you that I almost fell off the building and almost drowned..."
Mu Chuwei narrowed his eyes dangerously, stared at her for a long time, and said, "Do you mean you don't appreciate it?"
Lin Lanzhi let out a breath, too lazy to argue with him any further, and turned away.
Her indifferent attitude aroused Mu Chuwei's desire to conquer her. No girl had ever dared to ignore him like this. He felt a strong sense of frustration and loss, and he walked forward involuntarily and grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Lin Lanzhi frowned unhappily and tried to break free from his hand.
"We haven't made ourselves clear yet, you can't leave." Mu Chuwei didn't know what was possessing him, he just didn't want to let her leave.
Seeing that he refused to let go, Lin Lanzhi became anxious and said, "If you don't let go, I'll bite you!"
Hearing her say this, Mu Chuwei had no intention of compromising. Instead, he instigated her evilly: "Go ahead and bite it, but can I choose the position?" As he said that, he raised his other hand and lightly touched his lips with his fingertips.
"You..." Lin Lanzhi lowered her head angrily and bit his hand that was holding her arm.
"Uh..." Mu Chuwei immediately let out a muffled groan.
Lin Lanzhi bit him hard at first, but she didn't expect that he didn't dodge at all. After she came to her senses, she noticed a bloody smell spreading in her mouth.
She was startled and immediately let go of his hand, then looked up at him in panic, just meeting his gaze.
There was an uneasy light flashing in her clear eyes, and there was a drop of blood at the corner of her lips, bright and dazzling, like a drop of juice squeezed from a rose petal, with an indescribable temptation.
Mu Chuwei stared at her lips tightly, completely forgetting the pain in his wrist, and only felt a strong impulse surging from his chest. He leaned down uncontrollably and kissed her lips.
Her lips were very soft, and in just a moment, he felt himself falling, completely unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, but because of his lack of experience, he just kissed her randomly. He wanted to ravage her wantonly, but also wanted to carefully protect her, so his kiss was sometimes rough, sometimes gentle.
Lin Lanzhi felt embarrassed and annoyed for a moment. Although they had just had an intimate contact underwater, she was in a daze at that time, but now she was conscious. The moment he kissed her, she felt an electric current quickly spread from her lips to her whole body, and the masculine breath rushed to her face, surrounding her whole body.
All kinds of emotions, such as helplessness and panic, shame and anger, surged up in an instant. She pushed him away with all her strength, then raised her arms and swung at him.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound of applause.
She withdrew her burning palm, glared at him angrily, and cursed with gritted teeth: "You bastard, I will never forgive you!"
Mu Chuwei was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Lin Lanzhi turned around and left without hesitation.
He stared blankly at her resolutely leaving back. He wanted to chase after her, but he didn't know what to say after catching up with her. For a moment, he felt as helpless as a child who had done something wrong.
