I’m really immortal Chapter 53

The collapse of the bridge suddenly caught the attention of the people by the lake. After a brief moment of stunned silence, a few girls screamed, and the boys took a few steps forward. The people sitting by the grill instinctively turned their hands holding the skewers, and Bai Liu cried out, “Liu Chang’an and Zhao Wuqiang are on the bridge!”

When they heard Liu Chang’an’s cry for help, everyone finally reacted and rushed towards the bridge.

“Be careful, the bridge!”

“Those who can swim, go rescue them!”

“Everyone, don’t rush forward all at once!”

Bai Liu ran to the water’s edge and took a glance at Liu Chang’an and Zhao Wuqiang floating in the distance. She hastily followed the three boys who knew how to swim and told the other students behind her, “Don’t come up, it’s too chaotic!”

Bai Liu turned back and ran to the broken bridge, where she saw the shattered wooden planks floating on the water. The wooden planks were broken and had sharp edges, and there was aquatic vegetation tangled around them. The three boys didn’t dare to jump into the water directly and could only carefully make their way down from the side. What made Bai Liu anxious was that Zhao Wuqiang seemed to have lost his senses in the water, struggling desperately, with one hand tightly grasping Liu Chang’an. Liu Chang’an didn’t let go either, using one hand to hold onto Zhao Wuqiang and the other to paddle towards the shore.

“Let go of Zhao Wuqiang, let the three of them come!” Bai Liu anxiously shouted, but she didn’t know how to swim and could only stand there helplessly.

“What? No way… if I let go of him, he’ll drown!” Liu Chang’an shouted, seemingly not noticing the three students holding onto the bridge pillar who were getting into the water.

Just then, Liu Chang’an sank into the water again. As he was vomiting and coughing, his arm strength was fading, and he was dragged down by Zhao Wuqiang, leaving only one hand stretching out of the water, with five fingers straight and still. Bai Liu was frantic, her eyes welling up with tears, and she was stomping her feet.

After the three boys went into the water, they felt their way towards the direction where Liu Chang’an had gone down and soon reached the spot where he had sunk. They dived into the water and found Zhao Wuqiang and Liu Chang’an, pulling them both to the shore.

Zhao Wuqiang and Liu Chang’an were both unconscious, and Bai Liu took charge, shouting, “Qian Ning and Lu Yuan, give Zhao Wuqiang CPR!”

Everyone knew the basic lifesaving skills, and Qian Ning and Lu Yuan started giving Zhao Wuqiang first aid. Bai Liu pressed hard on Liu Chang’an’s abdomen, but after a few attempts, she didn’t get any response. She quickly got someone to lift Liu Chang’an onto her lap, and then she pressed hard on his abdomen again.

This finally worked, and Liu Chang’an, although not spitting out water, coughed several times and came to.

“How’s Zhao Wuqiang doing?” Bai Liu asked excitedly, still pressing on Liu Chang’an’s abdomen.

Zhao Wuqiang spat out some water, his eyes moving, and the other students also let out a sigh of relief. Drowning only becomes a problem if the person loses consciousness.

Liu Chang’an grasped Bai Liu’s arm, and Bai Liu hastily said, “You rest for a while.”

As Bai Liu and the others turned Liu Chang’an over, but Bai Liu didn’t move, letting him lie on her legs. She patted his chest and looked at Liu Chang’an, who had opened his eyes, and let out a long sigh. “Are you okay?”

“Okay…” Liu Chang’an coughed a few times, his head rolling back and forth. He felt the girl’s soft and springy legs and skin under him, and his head was spinning.

“You’re so stupid, I was telling you to let go of Zhao Wuqiang and swim to shore yourself. Don’t put yourself in danger while trying to rescue others!” Bai Liu scolded, still shaken by the thought of what could have happened.

“I remember that during swimming class, Liu Chang’an and Ann Wan didn’t attend, and it’s no wonder they’re not good at swimming. But Liu Chang’an is brave!”

“Aiya, my heart almost stopped beating! I’m so scared!”

“This bridge suddenly collapsed, and we should go ask the management center what happened!”

As the two people were finally safe, the students started chatting and discussing what had happened, and Bai Liu waved her hand, saying, “Let’s get moving, there’s nothing to see here, and it’s not good to be around too many people.”

At this time, Zhao Wuqiang was already being supported and could stand up. When he saw Liu Chang’an sitting by Bai Liu’s side, his eyes turned red, and he rushed over to kick Liu Chang’an.

However, he had just been rescued from drowning and his body wasn’t cooperating with his mind. He stumbled and was caught by others.

“Liu Chang’an, you wanted to kill me, didn’t you? I’ll tell you, I have unfinished business with you!” Zhao Wuqiang shouted angrily, pressing his chest.

“You’re crazy, Zhao Wuqiang!” one of the boys who had just rescued him shouted.

“I’m crazy? Liu Chang’an was trying to kill me! He wanted to drown me!” Zhao Wuqiang’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Liu Chang’an.

Liu Chang’an looked at him calmly, shaking his head. “You’re being ridiculous, man.”

“Everyone, don’t fight. Zhao Wuqiang might not be fully awake yet,” Qian Ning said.

“I… I hurt my hand, I need to go to the hospital,” Zhao Wuqiang suddenly cried out, clutching his right hand.

When everyone saw the bloodstains and swelling on his arm, they all gasped in shock and quickly supported him as he walked to the street. Two of his friends who usually played with him contacted his family and hailed a taxi.

The remaining students went back to where they were, and everyone was too shaken to continue the barbecue. They couldn’t help but discuss what had happened, and Zhao Wuqiang’s injured arm might affect his upcoming college entrance exams.

“The college entrance exams are the least of his worries. If it weren’t for Liu Chang’an, he would have died!”

“Did you get hurt, Liu Chang’an?”

“I’m fine, I just need to change my clothes now.”

Lu Yuan pointed to a nearby hotel and said, “Let’s go open two rooms. You four with wet clothes can go rest and dry your clothes. The others can stay here and keep an eye on things.”

So the group headed to the hotel, and since they were all over 18, Lu Yuan was able to book two rooms. The hotel even sent over hair dryers and two clothes dryers, saying that they heard someone had fallen into the water.

“It’s good I brought my dad’s diamond card. Otherwise, the hotel service wouldn’t be this good,” Lu Yuan said with a hint of pride.

“Does your dad often come here to rest?” Qian Ning asked.

“He comes here to fish and play cards. He needs a place to rest, right?” Lu Yuan replied casually.

“And does he rest with men or women?” Qian Ning asked again.

Lu Yuan was about to scold him but saw Bai Liu holding onto Liu Chang’an’s arm and hastily took over the task of taking care of Liu Chang’an.

The boys needed to change their clothes and dry them, and Bai Liu didn’t want to stay either. The four boys divided into two rooms, with Qian Ning and Lu Yuan helping them. Bai Liu went to the hallway, called the two friends who had taken Zhao Wuqiang to the hospital, and prepared to follow them to the hospital. Liu Chang’an was already safe, but Zhao Wuqiang’s injured arm was a serious matter.
