After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 476 - 220: Brother~ You’re Taking Me to Stay in This Kind of Room, Does Mom Know?_4

Perhaps out of concern that the child’s ice skating might disturb others, they played at the corner edge of the safety line.

"Mommy, I’m scared."

"Baby, skate slowly, Mommy and Daddy are here to catch you."

Listening to their warm conversation,

Yao Mingyue’s eyes flickered slightly. She looked at Xu Musen, wondering if the cozy scene could, from now on, include only Xu Musen and her...

"Honestly, I can’t bring myself to wish you and her happiness, but I do hope to always see you happy. If something unexpected happens one day, you mustn’t leave me alone, I can’t bear it…"

Yao Mingyue suddenly said something that seemed to come out of nowhere. She looked at Xu Musen, and her phoenix eyes seemed to hide emotions that no one else could see through.

Xu Musen was taken aback.

For some reason, the final scene from his past life flashed through his mind – him lying in a pool of blood, Yao Mingyue hysterical, her face ashen...

"Crack! Crack!"

"Ah! Daddy!!"

Suddenly, a cracking sound, along with cries for help, rang out!

The two of them looked over instantly, and where the family of three had been, the ice unexpectedly shattered.

The child slid right into the frigid lake water, and the father didn’t hesitate to jump in after, finally bringing the child, who had swallowed several mouthfuls of ice-cold water, back to the surface.

But as he tried to climb onto the ice, it couldn’t bear his weight and began to break piece by piece. After a couple of attempts, it was clear that the father was running out of strength.

"Help! Help!"

"Daddy, Daddy!!"

The child shivered all over from the cold, but seeing her daddy quickly losing strength in the cold water, she too cried out loudly.

They were in a remote area, and it would take a while for lifeguards to arrive. In the winter water, a few minutes were enough to make someone completely freeze and not come up anymore.

The child’s mother, frantic, crying, saw that Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue were the closest to them.

She fell to the ground crying and came over to them.

"I beg you... please, save my husband!!" Your journey continues at novelbuddy

"Daddy!! Daddy..."

The little girl was crying her heart out, watching her daddy gradually lose his energy. She stretched out her hand wanting to pull him up.

But the father still pushed her hand away with the last of his strength, making sure she stayed in a safe position.

This scene made Xu Musen feel as though he was seeing the helpless and desperate Yao Mingyue crying in the stormy night six years ago...

Without any hesitation, he kicked off his ice skates and gently pushed Yao Mingyue aside.

"Wait for me!"

With that, Xu Musen ran over. There was a lifebuoy on the safety line, which he grabbed and jumped into the water with.

Cold!

Bone-chilling coldness, but thankfully he had warmed up from ice skating just before, or else he would have cramped from the sudden plunge.

He hugged the lifebuoy and grabbed the man’s clothes, but by now the man was almost unconscious and slowly sinking.

Xu Musen dove underwater, pulling him, but the icy chill of the lake water made it hard to exert any strength.

Xu Musen had leapt in not to risk his own life for another’s – he was confident he could get back to shore on his own.

But to save a grown man along with him was just beyond reach...

Grinding his teeth, Xu Musen remembered the cries of the little girl earlier – they reminded him of Yao Mingyue six years ago.

He didn’t want a tragedy like this to unfold before his eyes again.

He exerted all his strength, but it still felt just barely out of reach, and he himself was also nearing exhaustion.

If it didn’t work out, he’d have to save himself first.

Damn, it was just a little bit too short... If only at this moment someone would lend a hand...

"Splash!"

Another figure jumped into the water.

Trembling hands gently embraced his waist and started to ascend.

Xu Musen turned around, and through the blurry water, he still recognized the person holding him.

Yao Mingyue...
