Chapter 304

"You guys, is finding a White Dolphin more important than your lives? There's so much stuff in the sea, can't you study something else?" Ye Cheng also gave a helpless piece of advice.

"It's not my fault, you said there was a White Dolphin, otherwise we wouldn't have come." Yang Liu glared at him angrily.

This little look, damn it, being angry yet so good-looking, it left Ye Cheng speechless.

As soon as the Boat reached the Matou, He Lao Ban rushed ahead first, shouting loudly,

"Lao Er, did you get any good stuff today? I've been waiting all day for you."

Before he finished speaking, He Lao Ban saw Yang Liu sitting on the ground, frightened, he jumped back a step and shouted,

"Holy crap! A mermaid!"

The shout of 'mermaid' left Ye Cheng speechless,

"She's a beauty, but not a fish—what are you looking at?"

Xiao Hu beside them couldn't stop laughing,

"He Lao Ban, you've watched too many movies, still talking about mermaids—this is a beauty my brother rescued."

He Lao Ban then carefully examined Yang Liu's feet and said seriously,

"Hmm, she has feet, so she's really a person."

"Lao Er, you're something—others go out to sea to fish, you went out and hauled back a wife."

Being teased by He Lao Ban, Yang Liu's face flushed red instantly, and she lowered her head without speaking.

"Alright, alright, we didn't catch anything today—don't scare the girl, I still need to take her to the hospital."

Having said that, Ye Cheng directly picked up Yang Liu and went ashore.

At this time, the Matou was already crowded; Ye Cheng carrying such a great beauty ashore instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Oh my, Lao Er, you've snagged a wife—when's the wedding feast? Hahaha."

"Your brother was still worried you wouldn't marry, but you kid went out and hauled back a beauty—awesome."

"No way, I'm going back today to tell the bachelors in our village to go out to sea together tomorrow and see if we can snag such a pretty girl."

Yang Liu was already a bit shy being held by Ye Cheng, and with everyone joking like that, she instantly couldn't lift her head from embarrassment.

She could only protest in a mosquito-like voice: "Ye Cheng, put me down quickly—I can walk, everyone's laughing at me."

"'Big sis, is joking more important or your life? You don't know if you're injured—if I put you down and you get hurt again...' Ye Cheng said that with his mouth, but he was secretly pleased."

Holding a beauty feels great—soft and soft, with a faint fragrance.

He was enjoying it when Ye Cheng felt a pain in his arm.

Hiss—

Yang Liu was actually twisting her own arm—where's her conscience, where did it go?

"Hiss—ah—it hurts—"

Ye Cheng shouted all the way, managing to get Yang Liu onto the motorcycle, then sped off with her to the hospital.

Worried the town hospital wasn't reliable, Ye Cheng directly took her to the city hospital.

When they got out, Ye Cheng originally wanted to hold her, but Yang Liu refused outright and gave him a fierce glare,

"'I can walk—don't think you can take advantage of me.'"

"'Oh my goodness, my grandma, am I that kind of person?' Ye Cheng felt wronged—I did have that thought, but you can't say it out loud, my intentions were still good."

Seeing Ye Cheng's fake‑innocent wounded look, Yang Liu snorted, 'Huh, you peeked at me in high school—I know it, and you and Li Ming and the others talked behind my back about how skinny I was.'

Um...

This, Ye Cheng had nothing to say.

A teenage boy looking at a teenage girl—isn't that normal?

As for being skinny, well, Yang Liu really was as slim as her name back then—can't blame myself.

Besides, which girl in the class hasn't been gossiped about behind her back? Even Hu Xiao Li and them commented, saying she was a bit flirtatious and had a big mouth, nicknamed the class little rocket.

Yang Liu refused to be held, so Ye Cheng could only accompany her as they walked into the hospital.

Just as they entered, he looked up and froze.

Hu Xiao Li!

What a small world—just mentioned her in my thoughts, and there she appears.

Hu Xiao Li was wearing a nurse's uniform, holding several boxes of medicine, looking at them with surprise.

Yang Liu's clothes were all wrinkled, her hair messy, while Ye Cheng looked embarrassed—however you look at it, something's up.

"You two—could you be hooking up? It's only been a few days since the class reunion."

Hu Xiao Li could hardly believe it—people say class reunions can spark a few couples, but she never imagined the goddess would be snatched by Ye Cheng, this loser.

Yang Liu also didn't expect to run into an acquaintance at the hospital; she awkwardly brushed her hair and stepped to the side,

"Xiao Li, it's not what you think—I fell into the sea, and then Ye Cheng rescued me."

"'You fell into the sea? And then he just happened to save you?' Hu Xiao Li gave them a 'you're kidding me' look."

"'Um... that's really how it happened, although it's quite a coincidence.' Ye Cheng rubbed his chin—saying that, sure enough, nobody would believe it."

"'Heh, your sea is really tiny.' Hu Xiao Li rolled her eyes."

"'Alright, stop talking—I need to register for a check‑up; I really did fall into the sea and almost died.' Yang Liu didn't want to argue further, she grabbed Hu Xiao Li and had her help with the registration."

Now that he'd run into a classmate, Ye Cheng found staying there pointless,

"'Fine, I'll leave Yang Liu with you—I need to hurry back to the village; call me if anything comes up.'"

"'Yo yo yo, you just dumped her like that—you should keep her company, look at how unsteady her feet are.' Hu Xiao Li teased in a sarcastic tone."

This adult‑level joke, everyone got it instantly, and Yang Liu was so embarrassed she couldn't lift her head,

"'Oh come on, what nonsense are you spouting? Ye Cheng and I really have nothing going on.'"

"'Um, Ye Cheng, hurry back—I'll treat you to a meal next time to thank you.' Yang Liu anxiously shoved Ye Cheng away."

If Ye Cheng were still here, who knows what Hu Xiao Li would say about him.

Leaving the hospital, Ye Cheng casually found a place to grab a bite, then hurried back to the village; by the time he returned to the village, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the village, the sound of the motorcycle drew the attention of the old-timers loitering at the village entrance; before Ye Cheng could even ride over, they swarmed around him, forcing him to stop.

"Lao Er, you're back?" Qian Shen said first.

"Oh, Auntie, what's up? You're not all waiting for me, are you?"

"Yes, we've been waiting for you, saying you hauled up a beauty today." Qian Shen said, winking.

"Yeah, Lao Er, where's the big beauty? Why don't you let us have a look?"

"A Cheng, what a coincidence—when are you bringing her back to show your sister-in-law?" Jiang Yunxiang actually mixed in with the crowd, asking along with everyone.

"Sister-in-law, ladies, I just saved someone, that's all—I'm not looking for a girlfriend, okay?" Ye Cheng wore a helpless expression; running into this bunch of aunties, he really had nothing to say.
