Chapter 41: This Time, You Cannot Leave

Su Ruan fell backward with a loud splash. She did not expect that she would fall into the water and hence, it took her a while to figure out what was going on to her.

Her slow reaction made her swallow some water into her lung.

Su Ruan started to panic and flailed her hand around. However, no matter how hard she wanted to swim up, her body fell further and further into the water.

It was strange.

Su Ruan could have sworn that the water was not very deep. How could she fall so deep?

Her body grew tired and soon, Su Ruan stopped struggling. Her eyelids grew heavier. A few seconds she closed her eyes, Su Ruan saw the large animal with bluish, purple scales approaching her. His long body encircled her. Then, his head large head became visible.

As soon as their gazes met, Su Ruan lost consciousness.

Long Fei caught the girl with his tail before she would fall further. A look of surprise crossed his face as he got a closer look at her face.

When Su Ruan had touched the lake water, Long Fei could recognize her immediately. However, he had thought that perhaps, his mind was playing a trick on him.

He did not expect… that he would scare her when he called her name. It made her fall into the water and almost drowned.

Long Fei looked at the unconscious woman wrapped around his long body.

Sensing that her life was in danger, Long Fei quickly made a barrier around her body so that Su Ruan would be able to breathe well.

His shape changed. This time, Long Fei was holding her with his arms.

His eyes were still on her and he was unable to look away. Long Fei was worried that the moment he blinked, the person in his hand would disappear.

But… what is she doing here?

Isn't she supposed to be in F City?

Long Fei snapped out of his trance, noticing that the person in his arms was not breathing. Panic surged through him and Long Fei swam up and brought her over to his territory.

He placed her on the wooden plank and turned her body sideways. Then, he patted her on her back to let the water out of her lung.

Su Ruan coughed heavily and opened her eyes to a slit before she passed out again.

Seeing that the girl was breathing normally, Long Fei breathed out in relief.

The sounds of footsteps approached them. Long Fei pulled the towel from the rack and covered her body with it. His arms were holding onto her tightly.

"Long Fei? Are you alright?' Long Yu Heng appeared by his side and finally noticed the person in his embrace. The light in her eyes shifted the moment he recognized Su Ruan. "Is that?"

Long Yu Heng was keeping an eye on the lake as Long Fei took a swim under the lake when he noticed that there was not right. He saw Long Fei swum up before the time is up and thought that there was something wrong underwater.

He certainly did not expect that Long Fei would come up with Su Ruan in his arms.

"How did she get here?" Long Yu Heng asked.

"I don't know."

"She should be here to visit her family." His expression froze as he recalled something more. "Didn't you say that Miss Su Ruan had not returned to D Town for years? Wasn't it because her relationship with her maternal family is not that good?"

"I don't know." Long Fei shook his head. "Yu Heng, we're going back to the house. Don't tell the elders about this."

Long Yu Heng snapped out of his trance and followed Long Fei to leave the lake area.

Because Long Fei did not want the others to know about Su Ruan, he could not bring her to the main house and instead, brought her over to one of the guests' quarters.

Long Yu Heng helped to call an auntie who they could trust to help look for Su Ruan. Then, a doctor in a white coat walked in to give Su Ruan a proper body check.

Once he heard that there was nothing wrong with Su Ruan, Long Fei finally let out a breath of relief.

When they walked into the room, Su Ruan was still asleep and her clothes has been changed. Long Yu Heng glanced at his cousin and raised a brow. "Is it fine to keep her here? What if her family has been looking for her?"

Long Fei rubbed the space between his brow and spoke, "Help me to tell them." He pondered for a while and spoke. "Just tell them that we saw someone from their orchard fall into the water."

They were not supposed to know Su Ruan's identity and Long Yu Heng could not tell the old Ma couple that they have found their granddaughter in the lake.

After discussing this matter for a while, Long Yu Heng finally left the guest's house to find the Ma family.

Long Fei instructed the auntie to prepare a ginger drink for Su Ruan. Then, he continued to stay by her side and waited for her to wake up.

He continued to stare at her for a long time, unblinking.

This was the first time that Long Fei has been this close to Su Ruan. The feeling was indescribable. Long Fei realized that the raging blood in his body had gradually calmed down.

Previously, he could only be around Su Ruan for a short period of time. This was the first time that he get to stay closer and longer with her.

Being with her made him feel relaxed. He wanted to stay with her like this for a while longer.

Long Fei began to understand why her grandfather had always told him to find her and get closer to her. It turned out that Su Ruan's presence around him was enough to make him feel at ease.

A few weeks ago, Long Fei was ready to let her go.

Su Ruan chose to move farther away from him and Long Fei was going to accept that the two of them were not fated.

He did not expect that a few weeks later he would find her in his territory.

Since she was the one who chose to return to this town, there was no way that he would let her go again.

His eyes narrowed and his pupil turned vertical as excitement build inside of him.

Su Ruan, this time, you cannot leave.
