Chapter 1276 Pretending to be on the verge of death, who are you trying to fool?
It hurt!
Feng Yexuan's palm landed on his chest.
Even he couldn't explain why, but the moment he saw Chu Qianli completely submerged by the river, his heart felt as if a knife had instantly pierced it.
That kind of pain felt like it was tearing his soul apart!
Why was it like this!
This foolish woman! He had told her she didn't need to go down!
If she drowned in there, don't blame him!
As this thought flashed through his mind, his heart seemed to hurt even more!
The hand covering his heart was actually trembling slightly.
Would she… would she drown in there?
The river was swift, and even those with excellent swimming skills might not be able to stay in the water for long.
One wrong move, and they would be swept away.
The river here was actually very fast, otherwise, it wouldn't have easily broken through the moat embankment before.
What was this woman's swimming ability like?
Though they had known each other for a long time, he didn't seem to have witnessed her skills underwater.
She… she had been down there for quite some time, hadn't she?
Why was there still no movement?
Feng Yexuan didn't know why he was anxious. He shouldn't care about what happened to Chu Qianli.
Perhaps… perhaps it was because she was currently working for his master, and they were on the same side.
That was why he was so anxious, right?
Why did his heart hurt more and more?
"Dead woman…"
Around him, there was still only the sound of the river flowing, and the wind.
Beneath the water, there was indeed still no movement.
Let alone anyone responding to his calls.
"Chu Qianli! If you're incapable, then come up and let me go down! Don't think I'll save you if something happens to you."
There was still no movement from below.
He calculated the time, and his heart tensed even tighter.
It had already been longer than a normal person could hold their breath!
Even if she had profound inner strength, she couldn't survive for long without breathing.
What if she was drowned and fainted…
In his mind, an image flashed: Chu Qianli fainted in the water, her body slowly sinking to the riverbed…
The sharp pain in his heart was unprecedentedly unbearable, as if it were tearing him apart.
Feng Yexuan could no longer care about his pride and plunged into the river.
But!
He never would have expected!
He truly never would have dreamed!
Just as Prince Xuan jumped in, the person below was actually swimming up.
After a splash, there was a muffled groan, and a scream!
My head! My head felt like it was about to split open!
"Hoo!" Chu Qianli finally returned to the surface, first taking a deep breath, and then, clutching her forehead, she cried out, "It hurts…"
Feng Yexuan also surfaced, stars dancing before his eyes, almost passing out from the pain.
This… this damned foolish woman!
Why didn't she come up sooner if she was fine? Or, it would have been better if she came up a little later!
But she just had to surface precisely when he was jumping in to save her.
Their heads had collided! The pain made him feel dizzy.
"What are you doing?" After the intense pain in her head subsided, Chu Qianli couldn't help but curse, "Didn't I tell you to wait? Why did you jump down? Are you trying to murder me!"
Chu Qianli was truly angry, and suddenly, all her grievances came flooding back.
"Ever since I met you, I've never had a good time. Either I'm tormented by your people or bullied by you. Today, we finally weren't arguing, and you still had to come and fight… Hey! What's with that expression?"
She was the one who was hit, and she wasn't even acting as wronged as he was, yet he was going to play the victim first?
Pretending to be on the verge of death, who was he trying to fool?
