Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Gaze is Somewhat Sharp
Yu Cheng opened his eyes and saw a little girl, about eight or nine years old with rosy lips and white teeth, sitting in front of him.
He was startled for a moment, then he remembered that he fell into the water yesterday and it was this little girl’s father who had saved him.
Jiang Mianmian was also taken aback—this handsome young man’s gaze was quite sharp!
It was like a sword just unsheathed, revealing its edge, wild and unrestrained, yet unaware of how to moderate its force.
Fortunately, he was indeed good-looking, and Jiang Mianmian, being an adult, would not bother arguing with a teenager going through an adolescent phase. She quickly showed a friendly smile, “You’re awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Yu Cheng replied indifferently, “No.”
Perhaps due to the fever from yesterday, his voice was a bit hoarse and fragile, but he looked rather well.
Seeing him prop himself up on his arms trying to sit up, Jiang Mianmian quickly handed him his clothes, “Wait a moment, put on your clothes first.”
Yesterday afternoon, her mother had already washed Yu Cheng’s clothes and trousers and dried them by the stove.
Only then did Yu Cheng realize that he was actually lying naked under the covers. Even though he was usually a carefree person, he felt somewhat embarrassed at that moment.
But the young master maintained a calm demeanor, “You go out first, I’ll change.”
“Okay.” Jiang Mianmian cooperated and stepped out, not at all interested in the boy’s physique.
After Yu Cheng changed his clothes and went out, he saw the little girl still waiting for him at the door.
Jiang Mianmian blinked her moist, large eyes and said, “Let’s go eat.”
Yu Cheng followed her, watching her hop and skip ahead. His previously gloomy and disappointed mood suddenly improved a bit.
As long as he was alive, he would find it one day!
The members of the Jiang Family were all surprised when they saw Yu Cheng coming, commenting on how incredibly handsome the child was, tall with long legs.
Now dressed in a leather outfit and standing inside the house, his demeanor and every movement showed that he was not a child from an ordinary family.
Jiang Dashan put down the old tobacco pipe in his hand and said, “Come and eat.”
“Thank you, Grandfather,” Yu Cheng thanked him very politely.
That morning, the three children had egg custard to eat, and Yu Cheng, being sick, also benefitted from this.
Indeed, he was very hungry, having not eaten for over a dozen hours from yesterday afternoon till now.
Thus, even though the food from the Jiang Family was mostly coarse grains, he did not mind and ate several bowls of it.
Zhang Guihua watched worriedly as the eldest, who was supposed to have saved a child, was instead like a starving ghost, eating even more than an adult!
The others didn’t think so, after all, the child had just fallen into the icy river yesterday, so it was good for him to eat something wholesome to calm his nerves.
Several children occasionally stole glances at Yu Cheng, feeling he was different from anyone they had seen before, not only in looks but also in some other indescribable way.
After eating his fill, Yu Cheng suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Changhai, “Thank you for rescuing me from the icy river.”
“I just happened to be there, I couldn’t just watch someone die,”
Jiang Changhai first waved his hand dismissively and then clicked his tongue, “But I must say, you are quite lucky. If it weren’t for my daughter, you might have really ended up staying in that river.”
Yu Cheng then turned to the little girl next to him and thanked her sincerely, not superficial because of her young age, “Thank you, you saved my life.”
Being stared at so intently and earnestly by the handsome young man, Jiang Mianmian couldn’t help her young heart fluttering slightly, yet her face remained serious as she responded, “There’s no need for thanks, our teacher said helping others is a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation.”
