Su Xiaoxiao turned her face and glanced at Hu Hui.
Hu Hui was stunned.
He hadn’t expected this chubby girl to have such an exquisitely cute face.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hold back and explained to Hu Hui,
"Before you arrived, I had already cleared his nasal and oral passages and pressed out the water from his stomach. But he was severely drowned, which caused cardiac arrest."
Su Xiaoxiao had then performed CPR, which was what Hu Hui had witnessed.
Hu Hui said, "You... You're talking nonsense! How can someone come back to life if their heart has stopped beating?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied, "Cardiac arrest cannot be used as the sole criterion for determining death."
Clinically, many patients with cardiac arrest can have their heartbeat restored through resuscitation measures.
Coming from a family of medical professionals, Hu Hui had never heard such absurd claims.
There was no point in arguing further.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to waste another word on him.
The patient thanked her profusely.
Noticing his shabby clothing and apparent poverty, Su Xiaoxiao gave up on asking for a consultation fee. She stood up, ready to leave.
Suddenly, a clean handkerchief was offered to her.
Wait, it was two handkerchiefs.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced left, then at the right.
Uhm...
"Jing Yi, you’re here ah?"
She said with a smile.
Wei Ting’s face darkened.
Jing Yi said, "Wipe yourself."
Hu Hui was utterly dumbfounded.
Was he seeing things?
Young Marquis Jing and General Wei both offering a handkerchief to the same chubby girl?
Wait, she just called Young Marquis Jing by his name...
They know each other?!
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
What a strange feeling.
It was like being put in a tight spot.
She slowly raised her hand.
To the left.
Jing Yi’s gaze darkened.
To the right.
Wei Ting’s handsome face turned grim.
She took a deep breath, then simultaneously stretched out both hands and snatched the two handkerchiefs in one swift motion.
"I’m plump! One handkerchief isn’t enough to wipe myself!"
Wei Ting snorted coldly, "Hmph."
Jing Yi took out another handkerchief and said softly, "If it’s not enough, I have more here."
Su Xiaoxiao: Oh my, Jing Yi is so well-behaved! This older sister is touched!
Under the weight of Wei Ting’s murderous aura, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t take the extra handkerchief Jing Yi offered again.
She had long suspected that these two knew each other, and today she confirmed it.
Although these two hadn’t exchanged a single word, she wasn’t foolish.
Jing Yi was clearly trying to provoke Wei Ting.
Little cutie, you’re being a bit of a troublemaker, aren’t you?
"Let's go home." Wei Ting said calmly.
Hu Hui once again found himself questioning reality.
With whom did you speak to?
Young... Young Marquis Jing?
Are you two at odds because you’re caught in a love-hate dynamic—
The next second, his wild imagination shattered.
Su Xiaoxiao let out an "oh" and reluctantly stood up, following behind him as they left.
Watching the two depart together, Hu Hui was utterly bewildered……
---
Back on the pleasure boat.
Princess Hui'an could hardly contain her excitement as she looked at the them.
"How? How? Did you save the person?"
Jing Yi remained silent.
Hu Hui replied, "He... was saved."
Princess Hui'an broke into a smile.
"When I return, I’ll report this to the Imperial Father immediately! Let’s see how Jingning can act so arrogantly now!"
"What’s wrong?" Xiao Chonghua noticed something off about the two.
Hu Hui wore an expression of hesitation, while Jing Yi seemed particularly unusual, his entire demeanor noticeably darker.
After a moment’s hesitation, Hu Hui truthfully recounted what had happened on the deck:
"It wasn’t us who saved the person... It was... a maid from the Wei family."
A woman who could go home with Wei Ting had to be either a lady of the Wei household or a maid.
That chubby girl… how could she be the former one?
