The sky outside the window changed quickly. Not long ago, it was clear and cloudless, but soon dark clouds gathered.
Outside the classroom, the sky was overcast, affecting the light inside. A student sitting near the light switch turned on the lights early.
Half of the students' attention was on the teacher at the front of the classroom, while the other half was focused on the weather outside the window.
The clock on the blackboard was approaching 11:30, almost time for lunch and midday break.
Worried about rain during the break, students frequently glanced out the window.
Of course, it wasn't just concern about getting wet on the way to lunch.
The sky outside was very dark, with occasional flashes of lightning illuminating the darkness, giving the impression of a powerful being ascending to immortality like in a movie scene.
By the time the lunch bell rang, it still hadn't started raining outside.
Even though there were spare umbrellas in the classroom, students still rushed towards the cafeteria.
Song Ying was no exception. After the bell rang, she pulled Shi Li with one hand and Rongrong with the other, tucking a large umbrella under her arm as she rushed towards the cafeteria with the crowd.
Those who aren't eager to eat have questionable thoughts.
Shi Li and Rongrong showed their assertiveness at this moment. Although they were initially pulled along by Song Ying, her short legs were no match for their height of over 1.7 meters.
It was like a three-legged race where the person in the middle gets pulled along by the two on either side. Song Ying was practically in that state.
Shi Li and Rongrong clearly had some athletic talent, as carrying Song Ying as dead weight didn't seem to affect them at all.
Song Ying said, "Let there be light," and so the two of them ran into the cafeteria before it started raining.
Just as Shi Li and her two friends sat down with their food, the sound of heavy raindrops hitting the ground could be heard outside, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
The cafeteria was brightly lit, with students quietly eating their meals. Only the TV mounted on the wall was making any sound.
It was time for the midday news, and the local news channel's host was using scientific methods to forecast the sudden downpour and the weather for the next few days.
The host briefly explained what different colored cloud maps meant in terms of weather conditions. The students weren't experts, so they could only understand the host's conclusions.
— Heavy rainfall is coming, be cautious of mudslides and landslides. During thunderstorms, be careful when going out and don't seek shelter under trees.
This weather forecast reminded Shi Li of something.
In the original story's plot, Feng Yunhe went to inspect a project and encountered a mudslide. He was coincidentally saved by the female lead, Liang Rongrong. However, when Liang Rongrong went downstairs to pay a fee, the villainous female supporting character "Shi Li" appeared just as Feng Yunhe opened his eyes and shamelessly took credit for saving him.
It was because of this life-saving grace that Feng Yunhe became overly indulgent towards "Shi Li" and agreed to get engaged to her.
"So we're almost at that point now," Shi Li's voice suddenly rang out in the cafeteria, startling some students who were focused on eating.
Shi Li didn't realize it, but thinking about her past life had caused some issues in her mind. "How would Liang Rongrong know that Feng Yunhe was buried in a mudslide?"
"Appearing just as Feng Yunhe was about to kick the bucket and saving his dog life."
When reading the novel, the memories only appeared in Feng Yunhe's recollections, without much description.
It was only known that Liang Rongrong had accidentally saved him, but "Shi Li" stole the credit and used it to cling to Feng Yunhe.
Shi Li only remembered this incident because of the mudslide warning in the news. She recalled that in the book, it happened during Feng Yunhe's second year of high school in autumn, which was about now.
Shi Li scratched her head, conflicted. "Should I wait for Liang Rongrong to save him, and after she takes Feng Yunhe to pay the fee, go to his bedside to act like a filial child, and then steal the credit for saving him? Make him think I saved his life so he'll get engaged to me out of gratitude?"
Everyone else: Your love for Feng Yunhe must be true if you can do something so morally bankrupt.
Nobody quite understood Shi Li's thought process. If she knew Feng Yunhe was going to be in danger and Liang Rongrong might gain some benefits from saving him, why didn't Shi Li choose to save him herself?
Any lie is bound to be exposed one day.
Shi Li was a bit conflicted. On one hand, her terminal laziness made her reluctant to move, and she enjoyed maintaining her persona by verbally teasing Feng Yunhe every time she saw him.
But as the villainous supporting character, how could she not cause trouble for the female lead?
Stealing the credit for saving a life was an important part of the plot in the original story.
It was how "Shi Li" managed to get engaged to Feng Yunhe and become the male lead's fiancée. Many future plot points relied on her having this status.
While Shi Li was still conflicted, the other students who had heard her thoughts had already decided for her. They were determined to have Shi Li rescue Feng Yunhe before Liang Rongrong could.
However, there was still one problem.
Everyone's gaze turned to Feng Yunhe, who was frozen with chopsticks in hand. Now that he knew he was going to be in danger, the mudslide incident might not happen at all.
If that was the case, there was no need to make Shi Li go out on a stormy night. It would be too dangerous.
It didn't matter if Feng Yunhe got into trouble, but Shi Li couldn't be put in danger.
Feng Yunhe, who had been quietly eating in the corner, shuddered when he heard Shi Li's words.
Finally, it was his turn, wasn't it?
Going to Mount Wang to investigate the project was indeed his plan for tomorrow.
If there was going to be a mudslide, he'd better not go out tomorrow.
No matter how urgent the project timeline was, safety couldn't be compromised.
Once injured, he would be forced to rest for a long time.
On a section of highway leading to Mount Wang, mud and rocks from the mountainside were washed onto the road by rainwater. Emergency rescue personnel had set up lines to save people.
Liang Rongrong rushed past the blue line to join the rescue workers in searching for survivors.
This was an extremely dangerous act, as there could be secondary landslides.
The rescue workers tried repeatedly to persuade Liang Rongrong to leave, but to no avail.
They could only turn a blind eye, considering that the girl might have loved ones buried inside, so they had to let Liang Rongrong go.
Of course, Liang Rongrong had to be hands-on. Feng Yunhe would regain consciousness for a brief three seconds while unconscious, and it was these three seconds that would make him fall deeply in love with her.
Because this area was very dangerous, the rescue workers searched quickly.
Soon, two cars were rescued. The drivers and passengers had already passed out and were pushed onto the waiting ambulances.
Liang Rongrong was drenched by the rain and looked quite disheveled. She heard nearby rescue workers saying they were going to wrap up the operation, and she was dumbfounded.
Where was Feng Yunhe? Where was that big Feng Yunhe?
How could they stop the rescue when he hadn't been found yet?
