Chapter 12: Meeting Lin Qingyao Again

"What's going on?"

Ye Feng frowned and turned his head to look behind him; judging by the sound, it should have come from the park in the back.

However, the sound was very faint, seemingly there and yet not, and Ye Feng was not sure if it was actually made by a person.

After hesitating again and again, Ye Feng still decided to go over and take a look.

If someone really was in trouble and he saved them, it would count as a good deed.

Walking into the park, Ye Feng slowed his pace and vigilantly observed his surroundings.

This was an abandoned small park, overgrown with weeds, and the trees grew in twisted and crooked ways; if one were not careful, it was highly likely to get injured inside.

Ye Feng walked slowly inward; the morning sunlight spilled through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, yet it inexplicably revealed a hint of eeriness.

A light breeze brushed past, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering something.

"Help!"

Suddenly, a faint cry for help came from the distance.

Ye Feng carefully followed the direction of the sound.

As the sound became clearer, Ye Feng's heartbeat could not help but accelerate.

After passing through a patch of dense weeds, a small lake and a woman appeared in Ye Feng's field of vision, and the cry for help was coming from the woman's mouth.

Ye Feng frowned and looked closely; there seemed to be a little boy splashing in the water.

Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately threw away the breakfast in his hand, rushed forward in a dash, and jumped directly into the water.

Just as the little boy was about to sink into the water, Ye Feng grabbed him by the back of his collar and hauled him straight out of the water.

Immediately after, Ye Feng dragged the little boy and slowly swam back to the shore.

Seeing the little boy rescued, the woman on the shore was stunned at first, her eyes wide open, her face full of shock and disbelief.

Then, joy surged onto her face like a tide, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she was too excited to speak.

Then, she ran toward the little boy and Ye Feng, her steps somewhat staggering, muttering to herself: "Thank goodness, Xiangwen..."

On the other side, after dragging the little boy onto the shore, Ye Feng ignored the cold on his own body and quickly laid him flat on the ground.

First, he cleared the debris from the little boy's mouth and nose to keep his airway clear.

Then, he began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, pressing the little boy's chest with his hands in a rhythmic manner, silently counting the times in his heart.

After pressing for a while, Ye Feng leaned down, pinched the little boy's nose, and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on him.

His gaze was focused and firm, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but the movements of his hands did not pause in the slightest.

The woman watched this scene nervously, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Finally, after completing the third round of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the little boy coughed, spat out a mouthful of water, and gradually resumed breathing.

Only then did Ye Feng heave a sigh of relief, a gratified smile appearing on his exhausted face.

On the other side, seeing the little boy saved, the woman hugged Ye Feng, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you for saving my younger brother!"

In an instant, Ye Feng only felt a surge of waves!

Seeming to realize her impropriety, the woman hurriedly pulled away, her pretty face already flushed red.

Ye Feng wiped the liquid on his face—not knowing if it was lake water or sweat—and waved his hand, saying: "It's nothing!"

Immediately after, he turned his gaze to the woman, and upon seeing her clearly, Ye Feng widened his eyes.

The woman was wearing a light white tracksuit, and her long, jet-black hair was draped casually over her shoulders like silk, appearing radiant under the sunlight.

Because she had just hugged Ye Feng in her excitement, the originally crisp clothes were now tightly plastered to her body after being soaked in water, outlining her graceful figure.

The light white fabric had become somewhat transparent due to the moisture, faintly revealing the color of her skin.

Her hair was plastered wetly against her cheeks, and water droplets fell slowly along the strands.

The neckline was also soaked by water and slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbones.

Ye Feng silently gave a thumbs-up in his heart, sighing: "What a beautiful scene of a wet body!"

Suddenly, a phone ringtone broke the awkward atmosphere.

The woman took out her phone, and not knowing what she heard, she frowned and quickly hung up.

Afterward, she looked at Ye Feng and said with a face full of apology: "Benefactor, thank you so much for today, but there is an urgent matter at home. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you twofold. Goodbye!"

After speaking, the woman hugged the little boy and walked in the opposite direction from where Ye Feng had come.

Before she had walked many steps, the woman turned around again and said: "My name is Lei Qianqian. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to the Lei Group to find me!"

After these words, the woman turned her head, quickened her pace, and left.

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, but he did not say much; saving the person was just a casual act, and he did not seek any reward.

Patting the water off his body, Ye Feng returned the way he came; now, his whole body felt very itchy, and he just wanted to hurry back and take a shower.

Passing the breakfast stall again, Ye Feng suddenly remembered that his breakfast seemed to have been thrown away by him; helpless, he could only take out his phone, wanting to buy another portion.

When he took out his phone, he found that it had already crashed from being soaked in water; Ye Feng could only give up and hurried home.

After returning home, Ye Feng first went to his room to get a set of clean clothes, then hurried to the bathroom to take a shower.

After showering, he went to the kitchen to boil a pot of porridge, and immediately after, he conveniently brewed his mother's medicine.

Looking at the medicinal herbs that had been completely consumed, Ye Feng scratched his head; it seemed he would have to go buy another batch today.

After serving the porridge, Ye Linger and his mother had also just gotten up.

After a simple breakfast, Ye Feng took his bank card and went out to withdraw twenty thousand yuan.

Now that his phone was broken, Ye Feng had to hurry to get a new one; besides, he also had to buy more medicinal herbs for his mother. In two days, he would have to perform acupuncture on his mother again, so the herbs had to be replaced with better ones.

Looking at the meager balance left on his bank card, Ye Feng thought to himself: "It seems I need to hurry and find a job!"

He hailed a taxi and arrived at the largest shopping plaza in Tianhai; he found a random mobile phone store and walked inside.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Feng spotted a familiar graceful figure.

Looking closely, wasn't that his ex-girlfriend Lin Qingyao!

"Yo, isn't this the great school hunk Ye Feng? Why, is your useless mother's illness not being treated anymore? How do you have money to buy a new phone?"

Lin Qingyao also noticed him, and as soon as she spoke, it was a barrage of cold sarcasm and mockery.

"Where is my money?"

Ye Feng frowned and ignored her cold sarcasm; this idiot had swallowed his three hundred thousand, and to this day, she still hadn't given it to him.

Lin Qingyao played dumb: "Money? What money?"

Ye Feng held up three fingers and said: "Three hundred thousand!"

Lin Qingyao sneered: "Oh, you mean the youth compensation fee you gave me, right?"
