Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Young Man, Let Go
“I was wrong, I was wrong, wife, I won’t dare to do it again next time.”
Jiang Changhai, tormented by the pinch, grimaced and begged for mercy until Su Wanyu finally let go of his hand, “Hurry up and warm up in the bed.”
Then she turned to her daughter, “You go sit on the bed too.”
“Hmm.” Jiang Mianmian, having just run back with her father, had swallowed a belly full of wind, and her hands and feet were all numb from the cold.
Seeing there was still so much room on the bed, she also climbed up, grabbing a blanket to cover her legs, “Ah, indeed, under the covers is truly the place for me!”
“Cold, cold…” The boy lying next to her shivered slightly, constantly mumbling about the cold, looking quite pitiable.
Jiang Mianmian, acting on her naturally kind disposition, scooted closer, pulling up the blanket over his shoulders.
She hadn’t had a chance to look closely earlier due to the emergency, but now upon closer inspection, she realized the boy was exceptionally handsome.
Although his face was pale and his brow furrowed, he was truly good-looking!
His features were sharp and distinct, even more handsome than the high school heartthrob during her school days.
The boy, perhaps feeling the warmth, subconsciously moved towards the source of the heat.
Seeing how handsome he was, Jiang Mianmian did not push him away.
Soon after, Jiang Changhe walked in with a middle-aged man carrying a medical bag, “Here we are, the doctor has arrived.”
Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Changhai sat up, “Doctor Wang, please check this child quickly, he just fell into the icy river, and I’ve just pulled him out.”
Doctor Wang, surprised by his words, gave him a look.
That look seemed to say, who would have thought the village’s notorious slacker, would actually perform a heroic deed?
“Why are you looking at me? I told you to check on him,” Jiang Changhai obviously noticed the surprise in his eyes, but didn’t care, as carefree as ever.
Doctor Wang glared at him, “Of course I know. Didn’t you say you jumped in to save him? Let me see if you’re all right, you seem lively enough, so it seems you’re fine.”
That Jiang Changhai could jump into an icy river in the dead of winter to save someone and come out without a scratch, still able to argue back, truly lived up to the old saying, “A scourge lasts a thousand years.”
While internally complaining, he reached out to touch the boy’s forehead on the bed, then pulled up his eyelid to check.
“No fever for now, just a bit shocked and frozen, I’ll give him an injection first. Keep an eye on him tonight, and if he develops a fever by midnight, you’ll need to go to the commune clinic or the town hospital.”
The Jiang family members breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the eldest had good intentions in saving him, having someone die in their house, especially a young man, would be upsetting.
After administering the injection, Doctor Wang left, and the boy’s previously furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
“Mianmian, time to eat,” Su Wanyu called from the door.
Jiang Mianmian responded and was about to get off the bed when her hand was grabbed by the boy, trapped in his grip.
She tried hard but couldn’t pull free, wondering how much meat this person must eat to have such strength!
Jiang Mianmian became anxious, “Dude, let go quickly, I need to go eat.”
If she was late, the meat would all be gone!
Finally, she used all her strength to pry his fingers open one by one.
The boy, deeply asleep, was not awakened by her actions.
At the dinner table, Zhang Guihua asked curiously, “Eldest, who is the boy you rescued? He looks unfamiliar, not like someone from around here.”
