Chapter 2

I didn't mean to say that.

Just now, an old man was driving a few pigs past on the bridge.

The old man was also there. Hearing my words, he was startled and quickly turned around to take a look.

"My three pigs are here. There must be a person in the river. Her hair can be seen."

The yellow-haired man selling telescopes squeezed in front of me with great effort.

"Hey, it's indeed a girl. She was leaning over the railing to take a photo and accidentally broke it."

"But even if you can swim, it's hard to get her up."

He was right.

Yuki may weigh about 160 pounds, while I weighed 120 pounds.

In my previous life, the incident happened so suddenly that I jumped without thinking.

After I lifted her ashore, I was already severely exhausted.

But because I held her butt, she stopped everyone from rescuing me and even spat at me.

I sank to the bottom and hit my head on a boulder.

But none of the "kind-hearted" onlookers saved me.

I put on a show of embarrassment.

"Everyone may hear it. It's not that I don't want to save her, but I'm really not sure that I can save her."

Onlookers began to criticize me.

"What do you mean? You just don't want to save her. Now, young people are very selfish and unwilling to save others."

"Yeah. If the swimming coach didn't save him, who else could? Don't go to his natatorium?"

"There's no movement in the water. Could the girl have drowned? Why hasn't the ambulance come yet?"

...

At this moment, a tall and mighty figure quickly squeezed into the crowd.

He swore at me while taking off his clothes, "You're such a waste! You've ruined the reputation of the natatorium."

It was my colleague, Max Wood.

He stretched a few times and then dived into the river.

The simple and quick movements amazed the onlookers.

"Great. That girl may be saved."

After a while, Yuki's head was lifted out of the water. But for Yuki's weight, Max didn't move.

He finally had to hold Yuki's butt and swam to the shore with difficulty.

Several people helped to pull Yuki up.

Unlike the previous life, Yuki fainted.

And Max also reached shore safely.

Faced with admiration and praise, Max waved at the camera repeatedly.

"It's my duty to save people. But as a coach at the Dolphin Natatorium, I suggest that everyone learn to swim so that you can save yourselves in the event of an accident..."

After an impassioned sales pitch, someone immediately signed up for the course.

Ms. Lee also dropped out of my class and signed up for Max's class.

It didn't matter.

Now money, fame and fortune were all external things to me.

People who have life own everything.

People who lose life lose everything.

Later, I left.

When I opened the door, I saw the bright white chandelier in the exquisitely decorated small building.

That was great! It wouldn't leak when it rained anymore.

Mom was half lying on the sofa and watching TV series with a cigarette.

I rushed forward and snatched it away.

"Mom, don't smoke anymore. I'll take you for a physical examination tomorrow."

"Little bastard, you're just smoking, too."

I threw all the cigarettes in my pocket into the trash can.

"I don't smoke anymore. I... I know someone who smokes. Now he has advanced lung cancer."

When I thought of how she was thin and coughing up blood in her previous life, I almost cried.

Seeing my red eyes, Mom responded, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and stop smoking."

As saying, she got up to cook.

"If Lucy doesn't come back, let's help ourselves to some."

Listening Mom mentioned my wife, Lucy Smith, I had mixed feelings.

In my previous life, after I became paralyzed, Lucy took out the photo of me holding Yuki's butt.

The photo had been photoshopped into something very evil by netizens.

"When I married you, I thought you were honest."

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

No matter how I explained, she didn't believe me and insisted on getting a divorce.

"You misunderstood me. It's not like that..."

"Misunderstanding?" Lucy immediately turned hostile.

"She's my classmate's sister. Is it necessary for a girl in her twenties to lie and discredit herself?"

"Even if it's a misunderstanding, you're paralyzed, so who will take care of our son? Rely on your mother's pension? Or a cripple like you?"

Her words stabbed me like a knife in the heart.

She left decisively and never visited me.

In my mind, she had parted ways with me a long time ago.

I grabbed Mom. "No. I just got a bonus. Let's have a big meal."

Although Mom loved money, she couldn't resist my constant persuasion.

Unexpectedly, Lucy came back with our son, Eric, as soon as I opened the door.

She handed Eric to my mother.

"Mom, you two go first. I need to talk to Gavin."
