Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 120-121

After that, still in the crouching position, she took a step back and performed CPR on the man who had fainted.

After returning to the scene from the phone call, Zhou Weiqi saw Jiang Yao, who had on an inexpressive and serious expression, kneeling on the floor and concentrating on the CPR. At this moment, Jiang Yao looked like a genuine doctor in a white coat. The scene mesmerized Zhou Weiqi that he gaped in a daze.

About seven or eight minutes later, the man was still unconscious despite Jiang Yao's great effort to revive him. The onlookers pitied Jiang Yao who was drenched in sweat and urged gently, "Miss, I think that's it. He hasn't woke up after so long, I'm afraid he is beyond rescue."

The manager wiped his sweat and uttered with a heavy heart, "Yes, Miss, you've done your best. I think this is it."

The manager sighed, depressed. His heart ached as he looked at the skinny girl gritting her teeth and concentrating on the rescue, the sweat on her forehead dripping like raindrops.

However, it seemed like there was a shield surrounding Jiang Yao that muted all the persuasion and urges. She looked like a robot, her CPR tempo and posture remaining unchanged as she repeated the same movement over and over again.

She did not give up.

Zhou Weiqi began to hesitate, wondering if he should stop her. From the look of her expression, she didn't look like she was about to give up anytime soon. Perhaps she thought that the man could be revived.

However, on the second though, almost ten minutes had passed, yet the man hadn't regained consciousness yet. Did she want to continue until the ambulance arrived?

Moreover, Zhou Weiqi began to regret his decision of taking Jiang Yao to this restaurant. They wouldn't have stumbled upon this kind of emergency then. He bet that Lu Xingzhi would be heartbroken if he saw her in such a condition. And the rescue breath! He couldn't let Lu Xingzhi see Jiang Yao kiss another man, he would be so dead!

"Hey, look! The man's face is getting redder, isn't he?" someone in the crowd exclaimed suddenly. "Look! He's already not as pale as he was before! Am I right?"

Right at this moment, an ambulance stopped in front of the door. The crowd quickly gave way as the doctor and nurses rushed in with the first aid kit in hand.

"Doctor! Hurry and see if the man is doing alright. This girl has been performing CPR on him for ten minutes!" the manager shrieked delightfully as soon as he saw the doctor.

The doctor looked at Jiang Yao and was genuinely surprised at how young she looked. He was also a little shocked by her professional and rigorous technique.

Besides, he also noticed how exhausted Jiang Yao was, so he hurriedly approached her and urged, "Miss, please let us handle this!" He turned to the nurses and ushered them to take over, while he crouched down to check the man's vital signs.

Jiang Yao sat on the floor, all her energy drained to its minimum level. She didn't even have the strength to stand up. She mustered her remaining energy to inform the doctor, "His pulse is back but weak. I suspect that he has heart disease, send him to the hospital immediately!"

As a doctor, physical fitness and great stamina were paramount in order to sustain long hours of duty and surgeries that required in-depth concentration.

Jiang Yao was reborn to the time when she was physically weak. In her previous life, she had started to exercise rigorously during college. She wouldn't have looked so exhausted and worn out if she had encountered this situation back then.

After listening to Jiang Yao's stats about the man who had fainted, the doctor couldn't help but glance at her again, impressed. Then, he nodded and urged the paramedics to carry the patient to the ambulance.

All the people in the restaurant were equally shocked and mesmerized at the same time. They understood the situation when she said that the man's pulse was back but weak. Not only did it mean that he was alive, but it also meant that he had no pulse for a while and was revived after she had performed the CPR on him. They looked at her differently now, some in awe, some with admiration. They had persuaded her to give up, but she insisted.

Zhou Weiqi recovered from his surprise. When he saw Jiang Yao trembling and unable to stand steadily, he dashed forward to support her. "Come, let me help you back to your seat."

"Miss, you are awesome!" An old lady praised Jiang Yao followed by applause. "You saved the man's life!"

The praise and applause seemed to be contagious as loud cheers and applause resonated across the restaurant.

At this moment, Jiang Yao became a superstar who shone bright, captivating. When everyone had prompted her to give up, she persevered because the man needed help. She clenched her teeth and persisted although her physical strength was diminishing until the doctor had come to take over.

Zhou Weiqi, who helped Jiang Yao back to her seat, stumbled into a kind of illusion as he watched the people giving way and applauding. In his opinion, the applause for Jiang Yao was also for him because he had brought her here!

When they returned to their table, Zhou Weiqi shrieked excitedly, "Jiang Yao, you're so awesome! You are my idol! I've never received such great applause before!"

All the thoughts about his regret and his concern over Brother Lu were thrown out the window. He immersed himself in the light of adoration and ovation thanks to his sister-in-law, Jiang Yao.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter came over and said, "Because the man was here alone, our manager has gone with the ambulance to check on the situation. Before he left, he told us to show our appreciation to you. Your meal today is on the house, and this bottle of wine is our token of gratitude to you. Hope you enjoy it."

The waiter placed a bottle of red wine with exquisite packaging in front of Jiang Yao before he spoke again, "The manager was wondering if you could leave your contact information, please. He wishes to see you after he returns to thank you personally."

Zhou Weiqi gaped in bewilderment once he glanced at the wine and grinned. "Your manager is too kind and generous!"

"It is our pleasure to serve you." The waiter left a pen and piece of paper, then retreated with a polite smile.

"Jiang Yao, this wine is very expensive, it's worth at least five figures!" Zhou Weiqi pointed to the wine and continued, "I guess that the manager has pretty prominent authority in this restaurant, and also this." He gave a thumbs up gesture.
