Gu Shaocheng took a while, then nodded slowly and said, "I thought, if she fell into the river, she wouldn’t be able to swim."
No more explanation was given after that.
What Fengchi said was right, he was just too nervous, scared out of his wits!
His emotions, after such trendous ups and downs, looked deeply affectionate to Yan Fengchi. However, Yan knew that his brother despised that fleeting thing called love.
With a thought winding its way through his head, Yan Fengchi couldn’t help his curiosity and blurted out, "Brother, are you really in love with her?"
Gu Shaocheng’s expression had cald down by now. When he heard Fengchi’s question, he rely raised a light smile.
"I don’t know."
But he was certain that Chenxing had taken root in his heart, a root he couldn’t pull out! His face was instantly lit up with an exceptionally warm and brilliant glow, "I’ve done all sorts of things in this life, except for falling in love, which I’ve always thought beneath . Don’t you think, it’s about ti I had a go at love? If not now, when?"
He was already twenty-eight years old, accomplished and famous. Wasn’t it ti to venture into unknown territories, like love?
Yan Fengchi twisted his head, seeming a bit uncomfortable, almost as if sothing in his heart had been stirred by Shaocheng’s words, his tone less composed, "How would I know! I’m just a crude man!"
Gu Shaocheng watched him suddenly turn his head, feeling sowhat puzzled.
He took off his wet clothes, twisted them dry and put them back on again, then started laughing to himself - a laugh full of carefree contentnt, projecting an air of utter astonishnt.
To anyone watching, it seed as if he had co to a monuntal decision, preparing for sothing daring and shocking.
"She is only nineteen, an age when she should be yearning for soone to pursue her and experience love. But I’ve always treated her harshly. You’re right. I should give her a shot at love!"
Yan Fengchi raised his eyebrows. When had he said that? Clearly, his brother was making things up to fit his narrative!
If you want to be in love, just do it. Why look for so many reasons?
Yan Fengchi secretly scoffed at him but then, he himself was hiding similar thoughts, so he didn’t say anything. Seeing the rubber boat slowly reaching the shore, he imdiately jumped onto the land and quickened his pace as he walked away.

The peacekeeping dical team was, in fact, equivalent to a secondary field hospital.
At the mont, the hospital was bustling with activity. Even Chenxing, who had just returned to the dical team, was being run ragged.
Every bed in the hospital was occupied, and many people who had nowhere to lay down were given stools to sit on. Eventually, even the stools ran out, and they could only watch, helpless, as people suffered while standing in the corridor.
"Chenxing, Doctor Kerry is about to perform surgery on patient number 4. Go help him. I’ll handle things here."
Chenxing lifted her head and gave an acknowledgent before getting up to find Doctor Kerry.
She was so tired it felt like her legs didn’t belong to her. It seed as if her shoes were filled with lead. Oh, how exhausted she was!
