Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife - Chapter 798: Epilogue (Part 5)
Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Epilogue (Part 5)
Lin Chuxia let out a soft laugh. She had to admit, Qin Yang’s thoughts warmed her heart.
A little unreasonable, if Qin Yang asked about his life with Lin Jiayi, she would feel jealous.
At this moment, Lin Chuxia felt even more guilty.
In handling this matter, she really had overlooked Qin Yang’s feelings too much.
Reaching out to hug him, her voice soft and gentle, “You might not believe it, but in our past life, we never met. You were busy with work, rarely home, and Mother Lin was afraid I’d live too well and provoke Lin Jiayi. Not to mention you, even Lin Jiayi I rarely saw.”
For some reason, hearing Lin Chuxia say he was busy with work, rarely home, made Qin Yang secretly sigh with relief.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s sleep a bit more.”
Qin Yang put her on the pillow, looking into her eyes as he spoke.
“Can you sleep? Do you want to do something to distract yourself, so you won’t dwell on unimportant things?”
Lin Chuxia wanted to say that after his guidance, she wouldn’t think about those things anymore.
But seeing the deep look in his eyes and those sensual lips, she reached out to wrap her arms around his neck and kissed him…
A low laugh escaped her throat, with a midnight murmur, mutual love is always exceptionally overwhelming…
……………
The sky was gloomy, the late autumn wind blew, and leaves fell rustling from the trees,
the river flowed gently, making a splashing sound from time to time.
By the silent riverbank, a woman sat on a rock, the wind blowing through her hair, revealing her helpless yet serene face.
Lin Chuxia shuddered slightly, realizing she was dreaming again.
Clearly, she had promised not to dwell on past life’s matters, yet she dreamed of it once more.
Seeing herself clearly thirty-something, yet looking more haggard than someone in their forties.
She remembered that day, Li Hongmei had stolen money from home to buy clothes in the city, but the money was stolen by a pickpocket. She and Li Guangyuan received the news and went to the city to pick her up.
She intended to bring her back and then leave.
The store was conducting business; it was Old Mrs. Li who asked them to go pick up Li Hongmei, so they had no choice but to temporarily close the shop.
The shop’s ingredients were left as they were; if they weren’t sold today, they couldn’t be sold tomorrow.
However, Li Hongmei refused to return, insisting that her new clothes hadn’t been bought yet and requiring them to accompany her shopping for clothes.
She didn’t want to go, considering this sister-in-law had stolen their money.
Now the money was gone, and she still wanted them to accompany her to the mall.
Why accompany? To pay for her?
She outright refused to comply with her sister-in-law’s wishes.
Even though she knew Old Mrs. Li favored her sister-in-law and might cause a fuss over it, she had her principles on some matters.
As a result, she was unwilling, but Li Guangyuan compromised, taking Li Hongmei to the City Department Store.
They say how a woman fares at her in-law’s greatly depends on the husband.
A husband who only undermines will only make a woman feel more aggrieved.
In her anger, she ran off to the riverbank alone to find some peace.
Then, from afar, she heard cries for help…
Hearing that voice, Lin Chuxia’s heart jumped.
On that day, she encountered a child who had fallen into the water and jumped in to save him without hesitation, nearly losing her life.
She wanted to tell herself not to go, to stop and ask for help onshore, as that was the only way to save the child.
But despite her worry, she watched herself run toward the river.
Seeing the bobbing little head, she jumped in without hesitating.
Lin Chuxia realized this scene was from her past life, something she couldn’t change.
She watched herself plunge into the water; the icy sensation made her momentarily uncomfortable, even causing a cramp in her leg.
But soon, she adjusted and made her way towards the drowning child.
At the moment she grabbed the child, he clung onto her as if holding onto a lifeline.
Even though the boy was almost unconscious, his survival instincts caused him to hold tightly onto Lin Chuxia’s arm.
The river was swift, and being clung to, she quickly lost balance and was swept downstream along with the child.
She saw herself struggling desperately, unable to break free.
The child seemed to have lost all consciousness; all he did was grip her arm tightly, without any reaction.
Soon, she herself was out of strength, with one arm unable to keep both afloat, she saw her swallow a gulp of water.
Haphazardly surfacing, the surfacing time grew shorter, and even a glimpse of despair crossed her eyes.
Finally… she sank bit by bit.
Just then, a splash erupted as someone else leaped into the water.
Lin Chuxia’s heart leaped suddenly.
It was him, the man who saved her and He Xing in her past life.
The man whose name she didn’t know even after living two lifetimes.
Lin Chuxia tried desperately to spot his figure, wanting to go and see his face clearly.
But from her angle, she could only see the man’s back.
He was an excellent swimmer, quickly reaching the spot where the two were sinking and diving under.
After a while, he surfaced, but she saw no one else.
He swam a few meters forward and dived again.
After several tries, he finally succeeded.
He pulled one person with one hand and kicked with his legs, struggling towards the shore.
But before even halfway, the river swept them away, and after several attempts, he had to let go of one person to bring one ashore first.
The boy, in the water for too long, had a pale face. The man dragged the boy swiftly to the shore.
As he pushed the boy onto the shore, the other person disappeared.
The man quickly returned to his original spot, diving repeatedly to search.
About a dozen meters from where they originally were, he finally found her.
When he dragged her ashore, Lin Chuxia saw herself pale and unconscious.
Fortunately, the boy was already awakened by another child on the bank, shivering and holding his shoulders.
The man noticed the situation there and, without further hesitation, lowered his head to save the unconscious woman.
He first lay her flat, cleared her mouth and nose, and turned her head slightly to the side.
After repeatedly compressing her chest, he straightened her head and gave her artificial respiration.
At the moment he lowered his head, Lin Chuxia’s eyes widened.
Even though she knew her past self was unconscious and in urgent need of help, and understood the man’s actions were normal,
she never thought someone had given her artificial respiration before.
In the blink of an eye, he had done it several times, and the woman on the ground slowly showed signs of recovery.
