Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 18 Your life is so precious

Jiang Yulan was close by and was the first to notice something was wrong.

She uttered a piercing scream.

"Zhang Li!"

"do not want!"

Zhang Li didn't move. He glanced at her but didn't stop.

Gu Chiqi was also irritated, and without caring whether he could catch his breath, he suddenly reached out from underwater, grabbed Zhang Li's neck, and pulled him into the water.

It was at this moment that Gu Chiqi's face finally emerged from the water and he took a breath.

"Zhang Li, I'm CNM!"

Due to lack of oxygen, Gu Chiqi's face turned red and even his eyes were a little bloodshot. The veins and blood vessels on his arms that were pressing on Zhang Li were bulging.

Zhang Li was pressed under the water, and without giving Gu Chiqi a chance to catch his breath, his legs underwater gripped him and dragged him to the bottom of the pool.

The battlefield between the two men moved beneath the water surface, and they completely lost their minds.

Jiang Yulan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She shouted to the dumbfounded boys standing by,

"What are you still looking at? Something bad will happen!"

The boys around finally came to their senses and swam over from both sides of the shore.

It took more than a dozen people to pull the two men apart and drag them to shore.

*

Gu Chiqi lay by the pool, gasping for breath. It took him several minutes to recover and he felt nauseous.

Zhang Li was in a similar situation, sitting by the pool not far away, holding onto the railing, his chest heaving violently.

"Zhang Li, are you sick?" Gu Chiqi yelled at him.

Zhang Li turned his head and glanced at him coldly, then lowered his head again, letting the water on his hair drip down like rain.

Not a word.

The more Gu Chiqi thought about it, the angrier he became. Seeing that he didn't say a word, he felt like he had kicked a rock.

"Grass!"

He punched the water, stood up and rushed towards Zhang Li.

Fortunately, there were several boys guarding him and they immediately grabbed him.

"Achi, Achi! Don't be impulsive!"

The speaker was Han Tianyi, the vice-captain of the school basketball team and Gu Chiqi's childhood friend.

Han Tianyi hugged Gu Chiqi's waist and comforted him,

"Why go crazy with a guy like him? Your life is so precious!"

The boys who had just tried to stop the fight all scattered around Gu Chiqi, trying to persuade him and calm Master Gu down.

Even Jiang Yulan walked carefully to Gu Chiqi's side, with a look of concern on her face.

"Student Gu, are you okay?"

"Zhang Li didn't mean it. I apologize to you on his behalf..."

A scornful smile appeared on Zhang Li's face, and he stood up with the help of the railing.

He seemed to have won, but also seemed to have never won.

*

Tang Shu looked at the group of people across the swimming pool. They seemed to be in the same world, yet not in it.

She withdrew her gaze, and suddenly reached out and pulled Liu Ying, who was standing next to her, and was the follower number one.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ying turned around and asked unhappily.

Tang Shu glanced at her with disdain and asked in a scornful tone,

"Your belly is so fat, is there a swimming ring hidden in your swimsuit?"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

There was a burst of laughter around them, and Liu Ying blushed as she explained,

"Don't talk nonsense! I just ate too much at noon..."

Tang Shu shrugged, "Okay~ I'm just asking casually~ You look so nervous~"

The tone was very innocent.

"you!..."

Liu Ying's face was filled with embarrassment. She covered her lower abdomen with both hands and tightened her stomach silently.

However, Tang Shu walked past her, walked forward as if nothing had happened, stood at the edge of the swimming pool, and stretched her neck to look across.

Liu Ying did not disappoint her and pushed hard on her back.

*

Here, Gu Chiqi finally broke free from Han Tianyi and rushed towards Zhang Li again.

Zhang Li raised his hand to wipe the water off his forehead and waited for him without dodging or avoiding.

At this moment, several girls screamed from the other side.

"Ah! She fell!"

"Xiao Shu! Xiao Shu can't swim! Who of you can go down and save her?"

Zhang Li and Gu Chiqi paused at the same time and looked back.

There was someone tumbling in the deep water opposite, a noise obviously made by someone who couldn't swim.

The person in the water was wearing a school uniform, and there was only one person wearing a school uniform there.

The girls on the shore were watching the excitement. Although Tang Jiali seemed to be shouting anxiously by the pool, she had no intention of jumping in to save anyone.

There is Tang Shu in the water!

Zhang Li reacted very quickly, jumped into the water immediately and swam towards Tang Shu.

"Fuck! What the hell has it got to do with you!"

Gu Chiqi cursed loudly, then jumped in and swam towards Tang Shu.

*

Zhang Li swam very fast and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye. Tang Shu did not choke on the water.

But for a girl who couldn't swim, falling into the water was scary enough. What's more, she was pushed into the water when she first arrived.

A person came up from behind her, held her waist and lifted her out of the water.

As if she had finally grabbed a life-saving straw, Tang Shu subconsciously wrapped her hands and feet around it.

Zhang Li was pulled by her and couldn't move, and sank into the water.

He put his arm around Tang Shu's waist, held her in his arms, and whispered soothingly over her head,

"Tang Shu, don't be afraid, it's me."

The girl in his arms stopped struggling aimlessly. She quickly looked up at Zhang Li's face, as if to confirm.

Finally, Tang Shu's body relaxed.

She huddled in Zhang Li's arms, trembling.

"elder brother..."

"never mind."

Zhang Li held her in his arms with one hand and stepped onto the shore holding on to the fence.

Tang Shu, who was soaked all over, looked even smaller compared to Zhang Li's tall figure.

Her mask had disappeared when she fell into the water. Tang Shu could only press her forehead tightly against Zhang Li's collarbone. The hair behind her ears hung wetly on her cheeks, covering most of her face.

"Xiao Shu!" Tang Jiali came forward and tried to reach out to pull Tang Shu.

Zhang Li gave her a cold look, and Tang Jiali immediately withdrew her hand and dared not move forward.

At this time, Gu Chiqi also flipped out of the water.

He looked at Tang Shu's pale profile, her slightly trembling eyelashes, his face full of heartache.

"Shushu, are you okay?"

Tang Shu gently shook her head, crying.

“It’s so cold…”

"I'll take you to change your clothes."

Zhang Li immediately picked her up and turned around, heading towards the locker room.

*

Behind him, Gu Chiqi subconsciously wanted to follow, but after taking two steps, he felt that his behavior was stupid and grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance.

He turned around and looked at the group of girls who were watching the excitement on the shore and asked in a cold voice,

"Who pushed her just now? Do you think my words are bullshit?"

A group of girls shook their heads and remained silent.

"Ha~"

Gu Chiqi sneered, "If we can't find out who did it today, no one will be able to leave the swimming pool! Let's just wait and see!"

Still no one responded.

Not far away, Miss Ming Ruoxi, who had been sitting in the audience, finally spoke.

"Hurry up, don't waste my time."

Ming Ruoxi also had a cold face and was obviously in a bad mood.

After she said that, a girl wearing glasses finally spoke cautiously.

She pointed at Henchman No. 1.

"I just saw that this is the new student recommended by Liu Ying..."

The girls around Liu Ying immediately kept their distance from her. She was frightened and looked towards Ming Ruoxi in the stands.

But Ming Ruoxi didn't even glance at her and was just busy scrolling through her phone.

Gu Chiqi raised his eyebrows.

"I won't make it difficult for you. Just jump down by yourself."

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the edge of the swimming pool to jump in. Gu Chiqi's voice came from behind her.

"Who told you to dance here?"

The arrogant young man pointed to the ten-meter diving platform behind him.

"Jump from there."
