Liang Shi: "..."
Qin Lishuang kept talking, as if she wouldn't let Xu Qingzhu leave until she drank. Xu Qingzhu frowned slightly upon hearing this, stepped forward and looked at Qin Lishuang: "Miss Qin, my husband Ashi can't hold his liquor, I'll drink this one for him."
Xu Qingzhu looked at her, but instead of taking the wine she had placed on the table, she asked a passing waiter for a glass and went up to clink glasses with Qin Lishuang.
Qin Lishuang's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
The cup of wine was drunk in one gulp.
Xu Qingzhu placed the wine glass on the table. "Miss Qin, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."
Qin Lishuang said "Oh", and then added, "The starry sky ceiling over there is quite nice, suitable for you young couples to watch."
He then left.
Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu didn't want to see her again, so they went over.
Liang Shi didn't dare let Xu Qingzhu near the pool, but Xu Qingzhu laughed at her, saying, "I can swim."
Liang Shi shook his head: "That won't work either."
She is trying to change this big event.
After standing there for less than two minutes, Sun Chengcheng came over and said, "What a coincidence, Qingzhu. I didn't expect to run into you here."
Xu Qingzhu nodded. "Mm."
Liang Shi stood to one side, saying arrogantly, "Didn't you see me? Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"It is quite a coincidence," Sun Chengcheng said awkwardly.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from behind him: "That is quite a coincidence."
He turned around and found it was Gu Yixue.
The three members of the film crew gathered here, unsure of what to say.
Liang Shi greeted Gu Yixue, while Xu Qingzhu's phone rang, and she went to answer it.
20:41.
Sun Chengcheng was secretly anxious because the time when Xu Qingzhu should have fallen into the water had already passed.
Could this have been prevented from happening?
Does that mean she'll never see Lu Jiayi again?
Xu Qingzhu had only taken a few steps when someone by the pool shouted, "Ouch..."
A little girl fell down.
Xu Qingzhu rushed over when she saw this, but before she could help the little girl up, her body went limp and she fell backward.
Thump.
"Sister!" The little girl who had fallen tried to pull her up, but couldn't.
Even while talking to Gu Yixue, Liang Shi kept a close eye on Xu Qingzhu's movements and immediately ran over after seeing her fall into the water.
But in that instant, her body felt as if it weighed a ton, and she couldn't run.
As she jumped into the water, another sound rang out.
To her, it was like a slow-motion replay, but in reality, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Liang Shi was also very fast. Just as Xu Qingzhu fell into the water, a white figure appeared and jumped into the water to save her.
Liang Shi followed him into the water.
...
This series of events was like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Liang Shi was a very good swimmer, but when she saw Xu Qingzhu underwater, her blue gauze dress spread out in the water like a blooming flower.
The bouquet was held in the arms of the white-clad figure.
The moment Liang Shi swam over, he saw a hint of fear in Xu Qingzhu's eyes.
Her movements suddenly stopped, and at that moment, she had the thought of letting things take their course.
But less than two seconds later, a figure appeared underwater.
Whether it was Liang Shi's imagination or not, she seemed to see Zhao Xuning.
Chapter 154
Who fell into the water?
"I don't know, I didn't see it."
"Why are so many people going down?"
"Who is this important person?"
"..."
Soon, the poolside was surrounded by people. The little girl in the pink princess dress stood there helplessly, watching the water splashing in the pool, and suddenly burst into tears.
Someone recognized the little girl and hurriedly asked, "Sisi, where's your mother?"
Only then did Qin Liushuang, the hostess of the banquet, appear in everyone's sight.
Then came two pairs of figures emerging from the water almost simultaneously.
Lu Jiayi carried the unconscious Xu Qingzhu.
Zhao Xuning helped Liang Shi.
The pool isn't deep, but it's still about two meters.
It's just the right height where a person can't stand.
The moment Liang Shi broke the surface of the water, he swam toward Xu Qingzhu. Almost at the same time that Lu Jiayi helped Xu Qingzhu to shore, Liang Shi arrived at her side.
Xu Qingzhu's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her makeup and hair, which she had just done that night, were completely messed up.
Zhao Xuning leaped out of the water, ignoring the fact that he was still dripping wet, and hurriedly began to give Xu Qingzhu first aid.
Soon, Xu Qingzhu spat out a mouthful of water, her fingers curling slightly.
In the void, her hand landed on Liang Shi's hand and patted it lightly twice, indicating that she should rest assured.
Liang Shi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, seemed to find a foothold in an instant.
Sun Chengcheng immediately handed over towels and hot water. Lu Jiayi, who was half-squatting to the side, calmly observed the people and looked at the scene in front of her with almost indifference.
She didn't take the towel Sun Chengcheng offered her. Instead, she tossed her still-dripping hair to one side, gently wrung it out with her hand, and calmly did it as if she had just taken a bath.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuning was there, and Xu Qingzhu woke up quickly.
She glanced thoughtfully at Liang Shi, then looked at Lu Jiayi and nodded slightly in thanks.
Lu Jiayi stood up: "It's nothing."
Then he got up and left, leaving everyone with only his desolate back view.
After falling into the water, Xu Qingzhu felt weak all over and her head was a little dizzy.
She leaned against Liang Shi the whole time.
The incident was caused by that little girl.
Qin Liushuang then suggested that the waiter take her to the lounge.
“We have prepared a rest room and spare clothes for our guests. You and your wife can go and change.” After Qin Liushuang finished speaking, she glanced at Zhao Xuning. “Miss Zhao, I will have someone take you to another rest room.”
Zhao Xuning, a germaphobe, frowned and suppressed his anxiety, saying, "This is troublesome."
As he was leaving, he passed Liang Shi and whispered to him, "Stay close to Xu Qingzhu. Someone is targeting you."
Liang Shi nodded; she had already noticed that Xu Qingzhu was putting all her weight on her.
Xu Qingzhu lowered her eyelashes, appearing extremely weak.
Su Zhe, Liang Xinzhou, and the others had already arrived. After Liang Shi helped Xu Qingzhu walk a few steps, he realized that Xu Qingzhu really didn't have the strength to walk at all. Ignoring what everyone present thought, he simply picked her up and carried her horizontally.
Xu Qingzhu's blue gauze dress, like a mermaid's tail, draped gently over Liang Shi's arm.
Her slender back pressed against Liang Shi's forearm, and he could feel the position of her shoulder blades clearly.
And there was the sound of her weak heartbeat.
While she still had a sliver of consciousness, Xu Qingzhu turned her face slightly and buried herself in Liang Shi's arms.
They walked through the crowd as if no one else was there.

Second floor rest area.
Qin Lishuang drank the last drop of wine in her glass and casually tossed the clear glass into the trash can.
The glass and iron objects collided, making a "clang" sound.
Her eyes and lips curled upwards, giving her a slightly wicked look.
"Miss," a man in a black tuxedo said respectfully from behind, "everything is arranged."
"Hmm." Qin Lishuang asked, "Where's Sisi?"
The man paused slightly: "I went to the rest room with the second young lady."
"Understood." Qin Lishuang lowered her eyes. "Then I'll go check on my prey."
Her right index finger curled slightly; those who know her know this is her signature gesture when she gets excited.
The waiter bowed his head and made way for them.
Qin Lishuang strode forward, but paused slightly at the door. "If Second Sister asks, just say I'm not feeling well and I'm leaving first."
Waiter: "Okay."
Unexpectedly, Qin Lishuang ran into Lu Jiayi, who was soaking wet, as soon as she stepped out, and her expression changed slightly.
