The Princess Wei Yang

Covering For Each Other

Witnessing this scene, Bai Zhi panicked to the point of almost fainting.

Unlike what she was expecting, a few moments later, Li Wei Yang had resurfaced and dragged Li Min De out of the water. Even though Li Min De was still young, he was nevertheless a guy and therefore, it was hard for Wei Yang to pull him out. If she had loosened her grip by just a little, she would have dropped Min De back into the water. Bai Zhi quickly rushed over to help. Together, the two of them dragged him out onto the shore.

Li Wei Yang touched his chest. "Still warm." Then she started to use all the techniques she had seen villagers used to save a drowned person. First she pressed down on his chest two times then used her knee to press on his stomach. After a while, Li Min De, who had became unconscious due to suffocation, came around and was able to breathe again. Coughing two times, he spat out the water in his system and regained his conscious.

Finally he was breathing again. Li Wei Yang sighed in relief.

Li Min De turned around. His eyes were dark black but also clear and sparkling like the stars in the sky. He had a set of full, long lashes which still had water droplets dripping from them. Li Wei Yang was startled, noticing that his features were even more dazzling than the sunlight. Goodness, he was so beautiful that it was unbelievable. His eyes were alluring and attractive, even if he wasn't smiling. He had smooth, porcelain-like skin. If he was a girl, he would definitely be able to compete with Li Zhang Le's beauty. Not to mention, he was probably only ten years old right now.

His crystal clear eyes sparkled and he was about to say something but was interrupted by Li Wei Yang. She covered his mouth. "Don't scream! If you scream, I'll leave you here right now!"

Bai Zhi shuddered. Xiaojie's voice sounded like she was a bandit on the way to steal someone else's belongings.

Li Wei Yang noticed how dazed Li Min De seemed as he stared at her. She reached up and touched his face. It was soft and white, like tofu in water.

"I'm your San jie, Li Wei Yang." As she spoke, she cued Bai Zhi to remove her dry outer shirt for Min De. Then she proceeded to remove Li Min De's wet outer shirt but suddenly, out of him fell a half-moon jade with a red string to wear around the neck. Without looking at the necklace, Li Wei Yang put it back on his neck. She then gathered his wet shirt together.

Li Min De sat still, staring at her with a pair of shimmering eyes.

Li Wei Yang stared at him. Truly, the longer she stared at that face, the more beautiful it became. However, she grabbed the collar of his shirt and said, "Go back and tell your mother that Da furen wanted to kill you and it was I, your San jie, who saved you. Understood?"

This looked like a scene of intimidation and threats. Bai Zhi's voice was stuck in her throat as she stared with wide eyes.

Li Wei Yang stared intently at Li Min De. She was about to abandon him but Li Min De, who had just been through a near-death experience, was afraid of being abandoned the most at this moment. He reached out and grabbed a corner of her dress then quickly threw his arms around her. "San jiejie!"

The feeling of warmth enveloped her, in addition to the weakened voice, she suddenly felt clumsy. A long moment later, she finally hugged Li Min De back.

He was truly a nice child. She was abruptly reminded of Yu Li, her son in the previous lifetime. He used to always act like this in front of her. Every time he saw her, he would rush over and throw himself at her. There was pain in her chest. Unable to control herself, she started pinching Li Min De's face before caressing it. Li Min De was still young but also very acquiescing. He sat still in one spot and let this strange sister touch him to the point his face was distorted.
