Peaceful Farm Life Chapter 2670 - 2671: Return to Tianyun (237)

Su Yuxin also only sat with Su Xing for a while before getting up to look for Tao Mingqing.

Passing by the rockery, Su Yuxin saw Tao Mingqing standing by the lotus pond, seemingly feeding fish, but he appeared lost in thought, throwing fish food into the pond absentmindedly.

Seeing this, Su Yuxin quietly turned on her heels and tiptoed towards Tao Mingqing, planning to give him a little scare.

She had scared Tao Mingqing once before, and his reaction was quite amusing.

The guard and maid following behind Su Yuxin saw her doing this and also tiptoed carefully, afraid of making any noise.

Feng Tong was also standing by the lotus pond, but at a distance from Tao Mingqing. Seeing the young master feed fish while daydreaming, Feng Tong looked around aimlessly and happened to see Su Yuxin and her entourage heading this way. He was startled and thought to both alert Tao Mingqing and pay his respects to Princess Chang, Su Yuxin.

"Shush!" As soon as Su Yuxin saw this, she rushed to make a silent gesture to Feng Tong not to expose her.

Feng Tong had no choice but to pretend he hadn’t seen Su Yuxin.

Tao Mingqing’s mind was entirely occupied with thoughts about when he’d get to see Su Yuxin again after his sister-in-law had conveyed his wishes. He wasn’t aware of any movement around him.

Just as Tao Mingqing was deep in his thoughts, Su Yuxin sneaked behind him and suddenly popped her head around, grinning, "Little Qingqing~"

"Ah!" Startled, Tao Mingqing dropped the fish food in his hand, and his footing faltered from the shock, sending him tumbling into the lotus pond. The pond was quite deep, and unable to swim, he shouted urgently, "Help!"

"Little Qingqing!"

"Young Master!"

"Fifth Young Master Tao!"

Su Yuxin, Feng Tong, and the guard and maid were all startled, but Su Yuxin was the quickest to react. Seeing Tao Mingqing fall, she immediately jumped into the lotus pond to save him. Yet, Tao Mingqing still choked on several mouthfuls of water, and by the time Su Yuxin had pulled him ashore, he was no longer breathing.

Rescue was urgent, and Su Yuxin didn’t care about proprieties between men and women. Relying on the ’artificial respiration’ her grandmother had once orally instructed her, she pinched Tao Mingqing’s nose with one hand, held his chin with the other, and lowered her head to press his lips to hers, attempting to blow air.

In Su Yuxin’s view, this was an act of rescue, a last resort. But in the eyes of Feng Tong, the guard, and the maid, the Princess seemed to be kissing Tao Mingqing, an act so sensational it made them all widen their eyes in shock.

Su Yuxin had no time to worry about them and focused solely on performing artificial respiration on Tao Mingqing.

When Tao Mingqing was revived by Su Yuxin and started coughing furiously, he saw her lips still on his...

Tao Mingqing froze for a moment, then, overwhelmed by surprise, choked on his own efforts, coughing even more severely: "Cough, cough, cough..." His face flushed red, unable to stop.

Su Yuxin held him up, patting his back to help him catch his breath while teasingly saying, "I was saving you, not kissing you, look how scared you are."

Tao Mingqing coughed even harder.

"Hahaha..." Seeing his reaction, Su Yuxin burst into laughter, only then realizing how shocked her guard, maid, and Feng Tong were, recognizing that her actions as a woman were indeed outrageous.
