In a moment of grave urgency, Yi Feng didn't think too much, with only one thought in his mind.

To save someone!

As he plunged into the icy lake water, he immediately swam towards the spot where the little boy had fallen in at the fastest speed he could muster.

Within just a few breaths, Yi Feng reached the boy, supporting his body, and immediately shouted, "Don't move, kid! Don't move! I'm here to save you!"

The boy, around five or six years old, obediently stopped struggling and clung tightly to Yi Feng's neck after being shouted at.

Yi Feng swallowed a couple of mouthfuls of water but was relieved that the boy calmed down, knowing he could get them to shore as long as the boy remained still.

After stabilizing in the water, Yi Feng kicked his legs, moving towards the shore. Fortunately, the place where the boy fell into the water was not far from the shore, about three or four meters, and Yi Feng quickly got the boy to the bank.

Gu Muxi and the man in traditional attire pulled the boy ashore together.

The moment the boy reached the shore, he burst into tears.

"Yi Feng, are you alright?" Gu Muxi examined him anxiously, as if fearing he was missing a part.

"Cough! I'm fine, just swallowed some water. Check on the kid." Yi Feng coughed out water, feeling nauseous.

Gu Muxi sighed in relief, her heart having been in her throat.

She hadn't expected Yi Feng to jump in to save the boy without a second thought.

Stinky Feng… you were quite the hero just now!

"Young man! I can't thank you enough! Without you, my grandson would surely have been gone!"

"Thank you so much!" The man in traditional attire was extremely emotional, kneeling down, grasping Yi Feng's hand, tears streaming down his face.

Yi Feng, soaking wet, just wanted to quickly go home and change clothes to get comfortable.

"It's good the kid is fine. Old man, please keep a closer eye on him next time, don't let him run towards the lake."

"For safety, you should take the boy home to change clothes and then go to the hospital for a check-up, getting cold is not good," Yi Feng advised with a smile.

"Alright, thank you so much!"

"Young man, what's your name? I must repay you properly!" The man in traditional attire expressed his gratitude.

"I'm Yi Feng. No need for repayment, we have other things to attend to, so we'll be going," Yi Feng helped him up and then left without looking back.

The old man urgently called out, "Young man, wait, leave me your contact information! I must thank you properly!"

"No need, old man," Yi Feng replied without turning back.

Doing good deeds without leaving a name, not seeking repayment, that's the spirit of the new generation!

The old man, holding his grandson's hand, watched Yi Feng's departing figure with great emotion.

"This young man is truly a good person!"

"We must find him and properly thank him!"

…

Yi Feng ran towards the residential area, feeling a bit chilly in the morning air and sneezing several times, drawing curious looks from passersby.

Finally home, he headed straight for the bathroom to get rid of the itchy feeling all over.

After using the shower gel and shampoo a few times, Yi Feng realized he hadn't brought clothes with him.

It seemed he had no choice but to ask Gu Muxi for help.

He cracked the bathroom door open and called out, "Gu Muxi, could you get me some clothes, please?"

"Uh… okay, where are your clothes?" Gu Muxi approached the door to ask.

"In the wardrobe, just find any set of clothes for me."

"Achoo~~"

Yi Feng sneezed again, feeling a bit chilly.

Damn, I hope I'm not catching a cold.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get them for you right now," Gu Muxi replied, quickly running to the room to fetch a set of clothes.

She returned to the bathroom door, passing the clothes through the crack.

"Here, take your clothes, get dressed quickly, don't catch a cold," Gu Muxi said with a hint of concern.

"Uh, thanks, I'll be done soon," Yi Feng replied.

Gu Muxi 'oh'ed and sat down on the living room sofa somewhat dazedly.

Her mind was filled with the image of Yi Feng bravely jumping into the river.

At that moment, she truly panicked.

An unprecedented sense of panic and anxiety.

She was genuinely worried about Yi Feng's safety in the rescue.

But fortunately, Yi Feng has always been a good swimmer since he was young and managed smoothly in the end.

Seeing him save the child moved her.

At that moment, she seemed to see a light in Yi Feng.

Stinky Feng is really a good person!

Was I too harsh on him before?

Gu Muxi, reflecting on how she had treated Yi Feng that morning, felt a bit guilty.

Considering how well you performed today, I won't hold it against you, hmph~

"Um… Gu Muxi!"

Yi Feng's voice came from the bathroom again.

"Yi Feng, what's up?"

"Did you forget to bring something else?"

"What? What else?"

"You know, that thing, the triangular one…"
