“So, that, that should be a person, right?”

“Looks like it.”

“Then what is she doing standing in the river?”

“Doesn't look like she's fishing.”

Seeing this scene, the two of them were obviously stunned, their reactions sluggish.

After about ten seconds of愣, they finally realized—this person wants to die!

If Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu weren't together, either of them would have been traumatized seeing a woman in a red camisole standing in the water alone.

What if she turns around and has a bloody maw?

But, probably not.

【0.01】

In 14 minutes, this woman will die.

Since she has a lifespan, then she shouldn't be a jiangshi (Chinese hopping vampire) or a ghost.

Nonsense, this is a realistic everyday world, there definitely won't be that kind of development.

"Wait, calm down!"

Seeing someone trying to kill themselves, Chen Yuan, as a member of the Communist Youth League, couldn't sit idly by and immediately shouted loudly.

【0.005】

Then, the next moment, the other person's lifespan suddenly halved.

Just as Chen Yuan was surprised, the woman, perhaps startled by his shout, slipped on the pebble-filled riverbed, her body suddenly tilted, and she slid into the river, then began to thrash and struggle frantically.

Damn, he actually made things worse.

Without thinking, Chen Yuan took off his shirt, threw it casually on a rock, and was about to go into the water.

Then, he suddenly felt a resistance.

He found that Xia Xinyu was hugging him tightly from behind: "Just call the police, don't try to save her yourself!"

"But she..."

Chen Yuan didn't expect Xia Xinyu to be so agitated.

"Drowning people will pull you down, and you're not a professional. It's too dangerous to go down now. Don't go, please don't go." Xia Xinyu grabbed Chen Yuan's hand again, speaking seriously and excitedly, "If something happens, your parents will be heartbroken!"

She was right.

He really wasn't a professional.

But this woman only had seven minutes left to live, and calling the police would definitely be too late.

"Besides, she's already trying to die. And you have bright expectations for life." Xia Xinyu added, but after saying that, the light in her eyes dimmed.

"But it's not right to just stand by and watch..."

"No one said we should stand by and watch."

Releasing Chen Yuan's hand, Xia Xinyu, who was already listless, slowly turned around and walked towards the river, her steps resolute.

【0.002】

"Get back here."

Reaching out, Chen Yuan pulled back the showboating Xia Xinyu.

You're going to save someone? Just don't make things worse.

"Here's what we'll do. I'll see if I can find a branch or rope here. You go to the highway and flag down a car, go get people."

"...Okay, but don't be reckless!"

Xia Xinyu glanced at him, then at the woman in red who was almost submerged, nodded, and ran towards the slope, trying her best to get help.

Chen Yuan, meanwhile, searched around the lighthouse, hoping to find a rope or bamboo pole, something ready-made.

She was right, he wasn't a professional, and saving people also had risks. If something happened to him, his parents would be heartbroken.

She was trying to die, and he still had expectations for life.

Whose life was more important was self-evident.

What was even worse was that he couldn't see his own lifespan.

He could use his superpower to save anyone as much as possible, but he couldn't grasp his own destiny.

This was a gamble.

A gamble with no stakes.

For him, winning would get him nothing.

But losing would mean losing everything.

【0.003】

While searching, the countdown above the other person's head was nearing zero.

And that number was the last thing Chen Yuan saw.

After that, she fell into the water.

In other words, she fainted.

But she wasn't dead yet.

However, she wasn't far from death either.

Four minutes, four minutes...

"Someone fell into the water, please help me save her..."

Xia Xinyu finally flagged down a small car, but the other person, hearing her words, immediately stepped on the gas and drove away nervously.

There were already few cars on this road, and the next time she might not be able to stop one...

As she paced nervously, she glanced back and found that Chen Yuan was gone from the shore.

"...You jerk, really!"

Discovering that she had been tricked, Xia Xinyu had a lot of angry but not vulgar words to say, but at this moment her brain only had one instruction for her body, driving her to run towards the river, searching for Chen Yuan's figure.

Then, she saw a shirtless boy supporting a woman as limp as jelly from behind, dragging her towards the shore.

"Xinyu, call the police!" Chen Yuan shouted to her.

"Okay... okay!" Although Xia Xinyu had words to scold Chen Yuan with, she knew what was more important, and quickly dialed 110 (police emergency number).

He also dragged the woman, whose face was pale, features delicate, and about thirty years old, to the shore.

【0.005】

Her lifespan increased a bit, probably because she didn't choke on any more water.

He had to get the water out first.

Looking at this big sister whose camisole had already slipped down on one side, her dress clinging tightly to her skin, outlining her full curves, and was vaguely visible due to the wet clothes, Chen Yuan didn't have time to avoid suspicion. After all, no one was recording a video next to him and posting it online to attract those idiots who say 'saving people is fine, but pay attention to privacy, and the man's hands aren't clean'.

The first step was to clear any foreign objects from her mouth.

Using his fingers to pry open the woman's mouth, Chen Yuan kept reaching to her Adam's apple, clearing some weeds and sediment from her mouth.

Then, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Once, twice, three times...

"Hello, police? Someone has drowned here, the address is..." Xia Xinyu was slightly stunned when she saw Chen Yuan giving the woman CPR, then anxiously continued, "Haijing District, by the Jing River near a water tower here... You can locate it, right? Then I'll wait for you by the road."

She had her job, and Chen Yuan had his.

She only had trust in him, so she didn't ask anything and ran to the road, waiting for the police car to arrive.

The police station was only five minutes away, and it was in the outer city, so there wouldn't be any traffic jams. The police car and ambulance should be here soon.

When they arrived, this woman could be saved.

In just a few days, Chen Yuan had already saved two women trying to commit suicide.

But could he really save them?

At least on his side...

"I really hate it. If I die, it will definitely make him sad, right?"

Suddenly, covering her face with her hands, Xia Xinyu's heart was filled with self-loathing.

She clearly didn't want to cause trouble for anyone, but she had become the most troublesome kind of person.

It was a mistake.

The decision to befriend Chen Yuan after being saved by him was a complete mistake.

If she had known, she shouldn't have been greedy and eaten that half of the Boston lobster.

Although it was really delicious, and she wanted to eat it again...

"Are you the one who called the police?!"

Because she was distracted, she didn't realize that the police car and ambulance had arrived with their sirens blaring.

"Co... come with me!"

Wiping away the tears from her eyes, Xia Xinyu led a policeman and a security guard, running towards the riverbank.

An doctor and several nurses also got out of the ambulance, carrying a stretcher, following the policemen with flashlights, heading towards the drowning person in a mighty group.

Then, they saw a woman with one camisole strap down, disheveled, and her thighs almost completely exposed, hooking her arms around the boy's neck, hugging him tightly with dazed eyes, mumbling something in her mouth...

And that boy gave an awkward smile, raised his hands in a French military salute, and looked at Xia Xinyu with an innocent expression.
