Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One

Chapter 408 - 10: Hero Saves the Beauty and Sets the Wedding Date_2

She paid no attention to this term, instead gritting her teeth: "Shi Suifeng, don’t push me!"

When it comes to tactics, she alone outmatches ten Wen Juans. Now, hearing the chatter of the crowd gradually rising, and glancing at the shimmering Little He Bend nearby, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Brother Shi, I love you so much, yet you refuse to marry me. You’re forcing me to die—I can’t go on living!"

After saying this, she rushed directly towards Little He Bend, without a word, she dove right in.

Shi Suifeng was dumbfounded.

...

Chu River appeared as well.

She was short, standing on her toes to look at the distant river, watching Zhao Weihong struggle and flail, she couldn’t help but sigh from deep inside: "She’s really ruthless to herself!"

Isn’t she?

Those who can swim and those who can’t have entirely different postures when flailing in the water. At this moment, watching the person in the river repeatedly choking on water, unable to even call out a complete "Help"...

This is gambling with life.

Gambling on whether Shi Suifeng would rescue her!

Chu River glanced Shi Suifeng up and down: "Who would’ve thought, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you’re actually so charming."

Shi Suifeng already took off running towards the riverbank, but didn’t immediately rescue, instead, he listened closely to Zhao Weihong’s intermittent words, catching a "Help!"

—This is interesting.

At the brink of life and death, someone would cast aside their mother tongue, shouting a word in English.

Keep in mind, even if it’s a foreign language, the mainstream now is still Russian.

He leisurely began to take off his shoes.

Meanwhile, the villagers heading home from work were getting closer in their chatter.

...

Even though feeling the fear of suffocation in the water, Zhao Weihong felt terrified, panicked. But she didn’t regret it.

She knew that since in her past life Shi Suifeng dared to go into the river late at night to save someone, it proved he indeed had today’s mindset—actively saving people without asking for anything in return.

She really couldn’t swim either.

In her past life, successfully smuggling to Hong Kong Island relied entirely on others and the oil barrel she clung onto persistently.

Or perhaps, there was also a bit of protagonist’s aura involved.

Now, she timed it perfectly, assured that Shi Suifeng wouldn’t let her drown.

As long as she didn’t drown, both of them would crawl out of the river soaking wet, and the marriage would have to happen regardless. And Zhao Xiuhua, who was happy to see it happen, would forcefully push it along.

See! Although using emotions to move failed, Zhao Weihong could still outshine most people of this era.

Just as she was about to sink into unconsciousness, suddenly, she felt a strong force pulling from the back of her collar, her whole body hoisted upwards uncontrollably.

Then, she was finally pulled out of the water, successfully breathing in air.

At that moment, someone else grabbed her arm again and pulled her ashore. There was another "plop" in her ears, followed by a cacophony of shouting: "What happened? How did the girl fall into the water?"

"Oh dear! Is... is she alright?"

"What’s going on? Can she be saved, why isn’t she moving..."

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Weihong finally relaxed and fainted after struggling between life and death.

She thought to herself—Shi Suifeng, in the end, I gambled right!

Being pulled up from the river disheveled, if he dared not to marry her, she had a legitimate reason to find him at the army.

Even for the sake of her future, her wish could be fulfilled. Just like those three troublesome kids from her past life, since they could become big shots in their own lands back then, if worst comes to worst in this life, she would simply let things be...

Then came a complete blackout.

...

At this moment, Shi Suifeng was indeed embroiled in a reputation crisis.

After all, Zhao Xiuhua had only hinted in the morning about finding a wife for him. The gossip sensors of the crowd were wired for this.

But now, by dusk, the young man went into the river and pulled up a young woman of prime age.

He’s even doing some chest compressions and what they call CPR...

Someone immediately joked:

"Zhao Xiuhua, now you don’t have to worry about finding a wife for your son. Look! Isn’t this just perfect? How old is the girl this year?"

Zhao Xiuhua’s face was dark, clearly, this incident disrupted her plans.

But as she leaned forward to get a clear look at the face, her expression quickly turned to delight, then immediately tightened her lips to suppress it.

After which, her gaze shifted to her son, with a sense of disappointment:

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, touching a young woman... Little Three, how is mom supposed to find a wife for you?"
