Chapter 60 Life-saving grace
When Lin Ruofei pulled Zhang Yang ashore with the help of her classmates by the pool, Zhang Yang had already completely lost consciousness.
Yu Jialiang and Guo Yang, who had already noticed the anomaly and reached the shore, quickly ran over, pushing through the crowd while shouting at the same time:
"Zhang Yang! What's wrong with you?"
"How's it going? Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang!"
"You're asking all nonsense! How can I answer you when he's passed out?" Lin Ruofei shouted as she climbed out of the pool. "It's obvious he's drowning! Hurry up and save him!"
Yu Jialiang and Guo Yang looked at each other, neither of them moving.
The students watching were also nervously watching Zhang Yang and Lin Ruofei, and no one answered.
"What a bunch of complete idiots! They don't even know the most basic first aid!" Lin Ruofei scolded angrily as she quickly knelt down next to Zhang Yang, pressed her hands against his chest, and rhythmically began to press...
Lin Ruofei pressed down hard with both hands thirty times, but Zhang Yang was still unconscious.
"There's no other way! This is the only thing we can do..." Lin Ruofei muttered as she lifted Zhang Yang's chin with her left hand, pinched his nose with her right, took a deep breath, and blew air into his mouth...
Once Zhang Yang's chest lifted slightly, Lin Ruofei released his nostrils, repeated this twice, and then continued to press on his chest. After repeating this several times, Zhang Yang finally coughed and then spat out several mouthfuls of water.
"Wake up! Wake up!!"
The onlookers cheered happily in unison.
"Zhang Yang, are you alright?" Guo Yang helped Zhang Yang up and asked anxiously.
Zhang Yang shook his head, panting heavily.
Lin Ruofei got up and left the crowd the moment Zhang Yang woke up.
At this moment, Lin Ruofei looked at her white school uniform top that clung to her body and was surprised to find that her tight underwear was clearly visible, making it obvious to everyone!
"No way! I don't care if I can make it to class or not, I have to hurry back to the dorm and change into my school uniform!!" Lin Ruofei thought to herself, "I'm a teenage girl who's still developing, and if others notice anything unusual about me, I'll be in big trouble!"
After making up her mind, Lin Ruofei covered her chest with both hands, quietly slipped out of the swimming pool, and ran like the wind towards the dormitory building...
After resting for a while, Zhang Yang felt much better and asked, "Who jumped into the water to save me?"
"Oh, it's that kid Lin Ruofei..." Guo Yang replied dismissively.
"Is it her?" Zhang Yang, pale-faced, hurriedly looked around.
“I saw that kid just run out!” Yu Jialiang replied immediately, realizing that Zhang Yang was looking for Lin Ruofei.
"Why would she risk being exposed to save me by going into the water?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but think to himself. "Could it be that she wants me to continue lending her my dorm room out of gratitude for saving my life?"
"Zhang Yang, I think you should go back to your dorm and rest for a bit!" Guo Yang suggested, gesturing for Yu Jialiang to help Zhang Yang up...
Lin Ruofei had just changed her clothes back in her dormitory when she received a call from Ding Yilin: the school had decided to temporarily suspend swimming classes because of Zhang Yang's drowning incident, so the first swimming class in the afternoon was changed to a self-study class.
"That's great!" Lin Ruofei shouted excitedly after hanging up the phone, "Finally, I can skip swimming class!"
In high spirits, Lin Ruofei didn't forget to wake up Tian Dazhuang, who was sleeping soundly, as she left the dormitory, telling him that if he continued to sleep, he might be late for his afternoon class.
After being helped back to room 609 by Yu Jialiang and Guo Yang, Zhang Yang quickly changed into clean clothes with their help and then lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep...
In a hazy dream, Zhang Yang suddenly returned to the scene of drowning in the swimming pool. The chilling feeling of suffocation and desperate helplessness quickly woke Zhang Yang from his dream!
Startled awake, Zhang Yang sat stiffly on the bed for a while before his body slowly returned to normal. He looked out the window and saw that it was already getting dark.
"I don't even know what time it is..." Zhang Yang picked up his phone and saw that it was 7:15 p.m.
"It's already this late, the cafeteria should be closed by now. Why haven't those two guys come to call me for dinner yet?" Zhang Yang rubbed his rumbling stomach and prepared to get up, grab his car keys, and drive off campus to get something to eat.
As Zhang Yang opened the dormitory door with his car keys, he suddenly heard all the loudspeakers in the entire dormitory building start broadcasting simultaneously:
"Attention, students! Attention, students! It's time for a fire drill! Please evacuate the dormitory building quickly and correctly, following the fire safety knowledge taught in the fire safety lecture! Important note: Students who do not participate in the fire drill will have ten points deducted! Ten points deducted!!"
After the loudspeaker broadcast the message three times, students began to emerge from their dormitories, carrying damp towels or similar items to protect against smoke, as instructed in the fire safety lecture, and started walking downstairs towards the playground...
Because elevators are not allowed during a fire, Zhang Yang was the only person in the elevator.
When Zhang Yang walked out of the dormitory building, many students were already standing on the playground in front of the building participating in the fire drill.
"I wonder if those two even want to go out to eat together..." Zhang Yang thought to himself as he pulled out his phone to call Guo Yang, when a soft, complaining voice suddenly came from behind him:
"How annoying! I just put on a face mask and they're already yelling for a fire drill..."
"The TV series is about to start, I don't know if I'll make it in time..."
"I definitely won't be able to see the beginning! It's best not to miss too much..."
Zhang Yang recognized the three voices immediately and turned around. Sure enough, they were the 'Three Sisters of Tao Hua' that he knew!
The three Tao brothers were all dressed in pink lace pajamas, their faces covered with white face masks, and they were walking towards the playground, grumbling all the while...
Just as Zhang Yang, who was getting into the mood, was about to make a few sarcastic remarks to the three Tao brothers, he suddenly noticed the people following behind them and immediately swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Following behind the three Tao brothers at this moment was none other than Zhang Yang's savior—Lin Ruofei.
Lin Ruofei, still half-asleep, was wearing a black and white cow-patterned pajama set and carrying a pillow. She followed the three Tao brothers, swaying unsteadily.
Actually, it wasn't Lin Ruofei's intention to appear in front of everyone wearing this "cow-print" pajama set. However, of the two sets of school uniforms issued by the school, one set was soaked when she went into the water to save Zhang Yang, and the other set got oil stains when she ate dinner with Ding Yilin in the cafeteria. Both sets of uniforms had reasons that they had to be washed. That's why Lin Ruofei appeared in front of everyone in the "cow-print" pajama set. Fortunately, she appeared at the same time as the three Tao brothers, so Lin Ruofei wasn't the most eye-catching one.
"Hey Lin, watch your step!" The eldest brother, Tao Yushun, turned around and reminded Lin Ruofei, "You'd better open your eyes wider and walk more carefully!"
"Oh..." Lin Ruofei mumbled a reply, but before she could fully wake up, she suddenly bumped into the person in front of her...
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Lin Ruofei apologized repeatedly without looking up.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?" the person who was hit asked softly.
The three Tao brothers originally wanted to turn back and explain things to Lin Ruofei, but after seeing clearly who Lin Ruofei had bumped into, the three Tao brothers were so frightened that they immediately ran away!
"Big brother, let's go!" The second brother, Tao Yusheng, grabbed the arm of the eldest brother, Tao Yushun, and whispered, "If Zhang Yang sees the three of us like this, he'll definitely make fun of us in front of our classmates again!"
"Okay, let's go! Let's go!!" The eldest brother, Tao Yushun, grabbed one of his brothers with each hand and quickly left Zhang Yang's sight.
"Oh, it was you..." Lin Ruofei finally realized that the person she had bumped into was Zhang Yang.
"Today... about the swimming pool today..." Actually, Zhang Yang wanted to thank Lin Ruofei in person, because if Lin Ruofei hadn't come to his rescue in time, his life or death might have been uncertain.
But Lin Ruofei resolutely interrupted Zhang Yang: "You don't need to take the swimming pool incident too seriously. Even if a dog had fallen into the pool, I would have jumped in to save it without hesitation!"
After saying that, Lin Ruofei turned and left, clutching her pillow.
"What? Do you think I'm equivalent to a dog?" Zhang Yang was furious upon hearing Lin Ruofei's words and immediately chased after her...
The huge playground was now filled with students dressed in all sorts of ways. There were boys in neat school uniforms, boys wearing only vests and briefs, and some who had run out wearing only their underwear...
Lin Ruofei ignored the fact that the scene was inappropriate for children, looked around the playground, and found an excellent spot!
It was unclear which class had left their high jump equipment after using it during the day; the thick foam mats were neatly arranged on the playground, like a large bed, gently beckoning to Lin Ruofei…
Lin Ruofei hugged the pillow in her arms tightly, ran over excitedly, and plunged her head onto the foam mat.
"This school is so annoying..." Lin Ruofei curled up on the foam mat and couldn't help but complain softly, "I finally managed to fall asleep on a chair in the lounge, but then they had to do this fire drill. Do you think it's easy for me to get some sleep now that I'm sharing a dorm room with Tian Dazhuang?"
Lin Ruofei muttered to herself as she closed her eyes...
Suddenly, a tremendous rebound force from the foam mat violently knocked Lin Ruofei, who was lying on the edge of the mat, to the ground...
"Ouch!" Lin Ruofei cried out in pain as she fell to the ground, "Who's so mean?"
"Ha ha……"
A burst of triumphant laughter reached Lin Ruofei's ears.
Lin Ruofei picked up the pillow that had fallen to the ground with her and looked in the direction of the laughter. She saw that there were only three people standing where the laughter was coming from: Zhang Yang, Yu Jialiang, and Guo Yang.
"You brats, I knew it was the three of you!" Lin Ruofei muttered resentfully in a low voice, patted her butt, and stood up.
"How was it?" Yu Jialiang said smugly, "You fell pretty hard, didn't you?"
Before Lin Ruofei could answer, the three Tao brothers appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her.
"Brother Lin, it was this kid who jumped over the bar and deliberately landed heavily on the foam mat, which bounced you to the ground! See how wicked they are!" The eldest brother, Tao Yushun, secretly pointed at Yu Jialiang and whispered in Lin Ruofei's ear.
"Brother Lin, don't let this kid off easily today!" Tao Yusheng, the second brother, chimed in softly, "The three of us brothers saw it with our own eyes a couple of days ago; it was this kid who threw your luggage out of room 609!"
"Oh..." Lin Ruofei nodded, suddenly realizing, "So it wasn't Zhang Yang who threw my luggage out? Humph! It's not like it's his dorm room, why is he meddling in other people's business?"
"That's right..." Tao Yuxin, the third brother, hurriedly continued, "Your bet with Zhang Yang hasn't expired yet, and they've already thrown your luggage out. If I were Brother Lin, I would..."
Before the third sister, Tao Yuxin, could finish speaking, Yu Jialiang, who was standing opposite her, spoke up: "This has nothing to do with you 'Tao Hua Three Sisters,' so get out of the way! Your faces look like ghosts, it's disgusting to look at!"
"you……"
The three Tao brothers turned pale with anger... Actually, their faces were already quite white after applying a face mask!
In short, the three Tao brothers were furious!
Lin Ruofei calmly waved her hand, signaling the three Tao brothers to calm down. After glancing at the height of the bar, she looked at Yu Jialiang with disdain and said, "You dare to show off after jumping only this high? This is truly 'a tree without bark will die, and a person without shame is invincible'!"
"What did you say?" Yu Jialiang was instantly enraged and shouted, "Are you looking for death?"
"What? You're still not convinced that you're shameless?" Lin Ruofei deliberately raised her voice and said, "You jumped such a short distance and you're acting all high and mighty, constantly showing off. Calling you shameless is not an exaggeration at all!"
"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't even know how to write the character 'Yu'..." Yu Jialiang clenched his fists angrily, raised his leg and rushed towards Lin Ruofei standing opposite him, but was firmly grabbed by the arms by Zhang Yang and Guo Yang who were following behind him.
"You're not happy that I said you didn't jump high enough?" Lin Ruofei laughed even more smugly when she saw Yu Jialiang stomping his feet in anger, and continued, word by word, "If you're not convinced... let's make a bet?"
Lin Ruofei finally revealed her true purpose! She actually wanted to provoke one of the three people into a high jump competition with her, so that she would have a chance to win the right to live in dormitory 609!
