Soon, the light blue and aquamarine intertwined.

When Liang Shi was rescued, he vomited two mouthfuls of water and was completely weak.
She leaned weakly on Xu Qingzhu's shoulder, and Xu Qingzhu wiped the water from her face and laid her down.
With such a big incident, almost the entire Liang family has come out.
Apart from Qiu Zimin, who was playing mahjong in her room.
Looking at Liang Shi, who had collapsed weakly to the ground, Liang Xinhe squatted down, patted her face, and anxiously called out, "Liang Shi, Liang Shi."
"Second brother, please step aside," Xu Qingzhu said. "I'm going to perform CPR on her."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and pressed them against Liang Shi's chest.
With each press, Liang Shi kept spitting out water.
She was soaked to the bone, her long hair dripping wet on the ground, making her look particularly disheveled for an Alpha.
After she vomited out all the water that had accumulated in her abdomen, she was about to wake up slowly.
The original owner couldn't swim, but Liang Shi could.
She would never gamble with her own life.
This was just to scare Zhou Yi'an.
She saw Liang Xinhe and Xu Qingzhu come out of the banquet hall before seizing the opportunity to jump.
Liang Xinhe was a swimming champion in high school and almost made it into the provincial team.
But she never expected that the person who jumped into the water to save her was Xu Qingzhu.
An Omega whose body had not yet recovered dragged an Alpha, who was much taller than her, out of the water, despite being able to rely on the buoyancy of the water.
But it is also a tiring thing.
Xu Qingzhu was in a hurry to perform CPR on her, which slightly disrupted Liang Shi's plans.
So she vomited up more of the water she had swallowed beforehand, shortening the time and trying to save Xu Qingzhu some energy.
Just as she was about to open her eyes, Xu Qingzhu pinched her nose and began to perform artificial respiration on her.
"..."
Omega's lips were soft, still damp and cool from just coming out of the water.
He gave her a big breath of air.
Liang Shi's hand, which was hanging by her side, suddenly gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.
Xu Qingzhu focused intently on performing CPR on her, her lips repeatedly touching and then leaving her mouth.
The third time, Liang Shi coughed a few times as she left, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Even though Xu Qingzhu's actions made her a little flustered and confused, she was still able to persevere and finish the scene.
After opening her eyes, she looked around. When she saw Zhou Yi'an, fear flashed in her eyes. Then she shook her head and said, "No...don't kill me."
Everyone: "...?"
Wow, that's a lot of information.
Before Liang Shi fell into the water, everyone assumed that the two had argued, so Zhou Yi'an pushed Liang Shi into the water.
When Liang Shi woke up, his first words to Zhou Yi'an were, "Don't kill me?"
What sorrow and resentment is this?
"Who wants to kill you?" Liang Xinhe asked coldly. "Don't be afraid."
Liang Shi shook his head, "I can't...I can't say..."
As she spoke, she coughed repeatedly, holding Xu Qingzhu's hand. She coughed so hard she felt like she was going to cough up her lungs. When she looked up again, her face was flushed and a few strands of hair were still disheveled, but she didn't look ugly at all. Instead, she looked rather pitiful.
She said in a hoarse, weak voice, "If we tell them, our family... won't be able to participate... in the election for that piece of land in the south of the city."
She spoke haltingly, yet everyone present could hear her clearly.
The actor's mastery of dialogue was on full display at this moment.
Having honed his skills in front of the camera for many years, Liang Shi already knew which of his expressions were beautiful and which actions could evoke empathy in people.
She did neither more nor less, and gave Liang Xinhe a weak smile, "Second Brother, I... cough cough cough... I'm fine."
Liang Xinhe was already furious and looked at Zhou Yi'an.
Everyone, even while watching the drama unfold, acted with great integrity, leaving Zhou Yi'an's seat vacant.
Liang Xinhe roared, "Zhou Yi'an, are you really lawless? No matter how much power you have, in a society governed by law, murder is punishable by death! Do you really think my Liang family is a pushover, to be bullied by you? If my sister dies here today, I'll make sure you pay with your life!"
“She…” Zhou Yi’an looked at Liang Shi, who gave her a victorious smile, but it was only for a moment before he immediately returned to his weak and pitiful state.
Zhou Yi'an swallowed back her original words, "She fell down by herself, believe it or not."
No one will believe that.
Liang Shi has calculated it all.
Everyone saw that it was she who reached out and pushed Liang Shi.
No one would believe that Miss Liang, who can't swim, would gamble her life with someone else.
Liang Shi was quite eccentric.
Zhou Yi'an curled her lips into a cold smile and replied to Liang Xinhe, "She's not dead, is she?"
“If she dies, you will die now,” Liang Xinhe said.
Zhou Yi'an: "Oh."
"Second Brother, no... it's not Miss Zhou's fault." Liang Shi said, "Miss Zhou kept pressing me for information about where Cheng... Cheng Ran was. I didn't know, so she got angry and started hitting me."
Everyone: "..."
There's another layer?
“It’s my fault.” Liang Shi’s voice was still broken and sounded strained, but she was able to deliver every word accurately to the ears of everyone present. “I can’t help Miss Zhou…”
Someone in the crowd said, "This is too arrogant. They want to kill someone over a little argument."
Zhou Yi'an's expression changed slightly.
Once someone starts a trend, others will quickly follow suit.
“That’s right. The Zhou family isn’t like that either. I’ve met Miss Zhou before; she’s a very gentle and virtuous girl.”
"The Zhou family didn't live in Haizhou City a few years ago. They only moved back recently. Mr. Zhou neglected to discipline his youngest daughter and spoiled her too much, which is why she developed such a spoiled personality."
"Miss Liang is no pushover either, and yet she's been bullied like this today."
"Does Mr. Zhou know how arrogant his daughter is? She's ruined all the good reputation he's built up."
"Mr. Zhou is honest and upright, and usually decisive, but he has no way to deal with his youngest daughter."
"We can't let her continue like this, or she'll definitely cause trouble."
"Today isn't considered causing trouble; Miss Liang almost died."
"..."
They appeared to be whispering, but Zhou Yi'an could hear every word they said.
Zhou Yi'an had already clenched her fists.
What do these people know?
How could she bully Liang Shi?
It was clearly Liang Shi who took advantage of her affection and bullied her relentlessly.
However, everyone looked at Miss Liang with sympathy and sighed.
It looked like it only had one breath left; it was quite pitiful.
Liang Shi had achieved his goal and was ready to faint at any moment.
However, she felt that if she fainted at this moment, her Omega wife might want to carry her back.
Helpless, she could only cough weakly a few times, "It's too...too cold."
"Quickly," Liang Xinhe ordered, "go back inside."
A waiter immediately came over to help her, and Xu Qingzhu also lent a hand to Liang Shi.
Liang Shi wanted Xu Qingzhu to leave as well, but Xu Qingzhu only had the waiters accompany her, while she stayed behind.
The early autumn wind was strong, and Xu Qingzhu's long hair hung wetly over her body, her light green dress clinging tightly to her skin.
Liang Xinhe told her to leave, saying he would handle things here, but Xu Qingzhu shook her head.
“I’ll settle this score for Liang Shi,” Liang Xinhe said. “Don’t worry, go back and change your clothes first, be careful not to catch a cold.”
Xu Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Second brother, let me do it."
Zhou Yi'an was about to leave when Xu Qingzhu called out to her, "Miss Zhou."
Zhou Yi'an turned around, raising an eyebrow dismissively. "What? You want to condemn me too?"
Xu Qingzhu walked over and slapped him across the face.
This completely stunned Zhou Yi'an.
Everyone present was stunned.
When Zhou's father arrived, he heard that his daughter had gotten into trouble and rushed over immediately, only to find that his daughter had been slapped.
Zhou's father: "..."
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
When Zhou Yi'an raised her hand to return the favor, Liang Xinhe stopped her.
Xu Qingzhu stood in the wind, her thin body seemingly about to be blown away at any moment, but when she looked at Zhou Yi'an, her gaze was firm, and her words were resounding, "This slap is for my wife. She's not a good swimmer, yet you knowingly pushed her into the water. If we hadn't arrived in time, we would have seen a corpse, my in-laws would have suffered the loss of their child, and I would have lost my wife. The child in my womb would have lost its mother before it was even born. How am I supposed to raise her?"
The way everyone looked at Zhou Yi'an changed instantly.
