Chapter 925: He’s My Brother
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Yiqiu was the daughter of Lieutenant General Gu. Her father was especially concerned about his face. If he was called over, her father would be embarra.s.sed. Gu Yiqiu took the initiative to admit her mistake as well.
On the other hand, Lin Xiong’s att.i.tude was neither cold nor warm. He cursed and ran while holding his bleeding forehead.
When it was five o’clock, the tourists nearby had all taken the tour bus back. They also had to organize to return to school. Teacher King Kong called everyone to get into the bus. Fang Zikai’s stomach started to churn. He said to Fang Zicheng, “Brother, I’m going to the toilet. You have to wait for me!”
“Hurry up!”
Fang Zicheng sat in the car with an empty seat beside him.
He checked his things and confirmed that he had brought everything. He did not leave anything behind, so he closed his eyes and planned to take a nap for a while. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard someone shout, “Fang Zikai fell into the water!”
Fang Zicheng suddenly opened his eyes.
He got out of the car and was closely followed by Teacher King Kong and the form teachers of the other cla.s.ses. Other than Teacher King Kong, the teachers of the other kindergartens were all women. Teacher King Kong stood by the wooden fence and saw Fang Zikai who had fallen into the lake. His face was filled with anxiety.
When people were in a drama on television, they could always struggle in the water for a long time and still shout. However, when people were really drowning, water entered their throats and ears. They could not think at all, nor could they struggle. They were like stones that quietly and slowly sank into the water.
When Fang Zicheng rushed to the lake, he only saw a pair of small hands waving in the lake in front of him. In just a few seconds, those hands were swallowed by the lake.
Teacher Jin Gang called for help from the other female teachers. “Do you know how to swim? Quick, help me save him. I’m a landlubber!”
The other female teachers looked helpless.
They did not know how to swim, and it was early winter now, so the lake water was very cold. The driver of the tour car was also a woman, and she did not know how to swim. The moment she noticed something unusual, she turned on the pager and informed the scenic area staff to arrange for someone to save him.
However, the nearest rescue team was at the amus.e.m.e.nt park. It would take five to six minutes to drive over from there.
The female driver explained the situation to Teacher King Kong and the rest. Teacher King Kong’s handsome face turned pale. No one knew better than him what would happen if something happened to Fang Zikai. This was a child of the Fang family…
At the side, Fang Zicheng looked at the lake with a calm heart.
He did not plan to jump into the lake to save her. Firstly, he was a child. Secondly, the lake was very cold. He knew that once he jumped into this lake, he might lose his life. He, who was born without emotions, did not experience much sorrow and despair. He was also a little fl.u.s.tered, but he knew better than to save Fang Zikai.
It was not worth it to exchange his life for someone else’s.
Fang Zicheng stood quietly at the side.
For a moment, the picture he had drawn with the psychiatrist flashed across his mind—
Two adults were holding hands with two children. They were family.
A family…
Fang Zicheng asked Number 199, “Should I save him?”
Number 199 said, “You’re too small. The lake water is very cold. You can’t save him.”
Fang Zicheng asked again, “Then can I only watch him die?” Fang Zicheng’s tone was very calm. He looked like he was not very worried.
Number 199 fell silent.
Fang Zicheng suddenly felt a little cold. He put his hand in his pocket and heard someone crying and shouting beside his ear. He stood quietly at the same spot and his fingers moved. Suddenly, he touched something hard. Fang Zicheng was stunned and took it out.
He opened his palm. In his palm was a candy wrapped in beautiful candy paper. It was the one Fang Zikai had asked Gu Yiqiu to give him in the car.
Fang Zikai was a person who loved to eat. He was so greedy, but he was willing to give him a candy. This was not because Fang Zikai was kind and willing to give alms, but because they were family.
Fang Zicheng’s eyelashes trembled.
He suddenly took off his clothes and jumped into the lake under the surprised cries of Teacher King Kong and the rest. The place where Fang Zikai fell into the water was more than a meter away from the lake. Fang Zicheng jumped in and narrowed his eyes. His gaze pa.s.sed through the turbid lake and he saw Fang Zikai floating in the lake.
Fang Zikai did not move, as if his heart had stopped beating.
Fang Zicheng swam towards him.
His brother was indeed fat. Even in the water, it was very difficult to carry him. Fang Zicheng held his breath and pushed Fang Zikai to the lake. He said to Teacher King Kong, “Save him…” After saying that, he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell into the water…
…
When Fang Zicheng opened his eyes, he saw his father, grandfather, grandmother, and Aunt Yuqing’s faces.
He blinked and asked them, “Why are you all staring at me?”
Just as he asked this question, Fang Yusheng hugged him.
Fang Zicheng was about to ask Fang Yusheng what he was going to do when he heard Fang Yusheng’s words. He said, “Cheng Cheng, Dad is proud of you.”
Fang Zicheng remained silent.
He did not know how to answer Fang Yusheng.
After a while, Fang Yusheng let go of Fang Zicheng. He saw that Fang Zicheng’s gaze was wandering and guessed what he was thinking. He asked, “Are you looking for Kai Kai?”
“Where is he?”
There was another bed in the ward, and it was unknown if it was Fang Zikai’s. Fang Yusheng said, “You never woke up, so Kai Kai went to Mom’s ward to accompany her.”
This meant that Fang Zikai was fine.
Fang Zicheng nodded and asked, “Then is he okay?”
“He’s quite energetic. He can jump.”
Fang Zicheng remained silent.
Lisa touched Fang Zicheng’s head and said, “I heard from your teacher that you jumped into the lake and saved your brother?”
“Yeah.”
“Why did you do that? What were you thinking at that moment?” Lisa knew that her eldest grandson had emotional disorders. The child looked cold and emotionless. When she heard that he had jumped into the lake to save his brother but he had almost fallen into the water, Lisa had been suspicious.
After coming to the hospital and hearing from the teacher herself, she finally dared to believe that this was true.
Not only was Lisa curious about this question, but Fang Yusheng, Chi Baoguang, and the rest were also curious.
After hearing his grandmother’s question, Fang Zicheng thought about it seriously for a moment and only explained, “He’s my younger brother.” These words were more than a thousand words. He’s my younger brother, the younger brother who grew up with him in the same womb. When we came to this world together, we had the deepest bond in the world.
Even though he didn’t know what reluctance and love were, when he saw the splas.h.i.+ng lake gradually calm down, he thought that he might never see him again in this life. He wouldn’t be able to eat the candy he gave him, and wouldn’t make a fuss when he slept at night. At that moment, he understood that he was willing to give up his life for him.
