“Artificial respiration, it’s when you do mouth-to-mouth to pass air to him, that’s how he might wake up,” Feng Guang explained seriously. She wasn’t trying to play a prank; it was just that this was how they always did it in the TV dramas, so she was making a genuine suggestion.
As soon as she mentioned mouth-to-mouth, Xue Ran couldn’t help but blush, suddenly recalling the blurry scene from the water earlier… He even forgot to mention that Dan Ya would probably wake up soon.
“Mouth-to-mouth?” The young woman’s face changed the moment she heard Feng Guang’s words. She looked at Xue Ran with a pleading expression.
Feng Guang immediately added, “Hey, don’t even think about it. He can only kiss me, no one else!”
Xue Ran’s ears turned bright red, and he cleared his throat softly.
“I…” The girl in yellow was nearly in tears, “You can’t possibly expect me, an unmarried woman, to kiss a grown man, right?”
Feng Guang, seemingly unconcerned, raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, “How did this man fall into the water?”
“She…” The young woman seemed irritated as she explained, “He thought I was going to jump into the river and die, so he jumped in to save me… but he ended up falling in himself.”
“If he fell into the water to save you, are you going to let him die like this?” Feng Guang asked. Honestly, Dan Ya had once saved her life too, and she didn’t want him to just die.
The girl in yellow hesitated for a while before finally making up her mind, “Saving a life is more valuable than building a seven-story pagoda. I’ll do it!”
She slowly bent her head down, and her lips barely touched Dan Ya’s cool ones when, suddenly, his eyes opened.
Their gazes met, and for a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
Feng Guang grinned. “Dan Tangzhu, you’re awake! I told you mouth-to-mouth would work!”
TV dramas never lie!
Xue Ran turned his head away with a heavy sigh, clearly tired of the situation.
The girl in yellow, startled by Dan Ya opening his eyes, scrambled backward, sitting on the ground and retreating several steps. She pointed at him in disbelief, “You, you… you’re alive!”
Dan Ya sat up and coughed several times. His expression was complicated. “I’m alive.”
At this point, neither the man nor the woman knew what to say. The atmosphere had turned extremely awkward.
Feng Guang glanced around and whispered to Xue Ran, “I think the atmosphere is a bit strange.”
Xue Ran reached out and patted her on the head, stopping himself from saying something like “This is all your fault.” He decided to step in and ease the tension. “Miss, the person who wanted to save you is Dan Tangzhu from Tangmen.”
“Tangmen?” The girl in yellow stood up, her anger rising as she glared at Dan Ya. “You’re from Tangmen?”
Dan Ya stood up as well. “Indeed.”
“Well, well, I’ve been looking for your Tangmen!” she snapped.
“Is there something the matter, Miss?” Xue Ran asked.
“Something huge!” she exclaimed, “Tang Jiuge poisoned himself just so he wouldn’t have to marry me. Do you think I can just swallow this humiliation?”
“You’re the eldest daughter of Qianjin Pavilion?” Xue Ran asked.
“Of course! Qianjin Pavilion is known for its information. Even if you Tangmen try to keep the reason for Tang Jiuge’s poisoning a secret, it’ll still get to Qianjin Pavilion!”
Qianjin Pavilion was renowned for its ability to acquire any information for the price of one thousand gold. No one knew how they gathered their intel, but with a thousand gold, you could buy any news you wanted. Although a thousand gold was no small sum, people still flocked to buy from them. Founded 150 years ago by the former Baixiaosheng, no one knew how many secrets he held, and naturally, no one dared to offend Qianjin Pavilion easily.
This young woman, with her ethereal and refined appearance, was the current Baixiaosheng’s granddaughter, Mu Liunian.
