He Is Warmer Than Time Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Receive A Pennant
Song Ran grabbed onto the sides of the boat as she anxiously watched Gu Jinghang pulling the boy back to shore. He put the boy on the ground and pressed his chest a few times. The boy threw up some water and coughed violently.
The boy’s mother held Gu Jinghang’s hand and shed tears of gratitude. “Thank you. Thank you. I’m so grateful for you.”
Without a word, Gu Jinghang turned around and went back to the water again. He pulled the swan boat to the shore and got Song Ran out of the boat.
Song Ran was furious. She pounded his chest and bellowed, “Who are you to be a hero? Huh? Do you know it’s dangerous to blindly jump into the water and save someone? I read on the news that every year people get themselves drowned while trying to save a life. Do you know how worried I was?”
Gu Jinghang reached out and stroked her head. “I’m still kicking, aren’t I? I know my limits. Don’t worry.”
“You know your limits my foot!”
The security officer dashed over and spotted Song Ran, who was weeping. She recognized this little girl who pestered Supervisor Li for the entire day yesterday just to help her boyfriend save some money.
It looked like her boyfriend was indeed worth her while.
The mother took her son and thanked him again before they left. Gu Jinghang made casual remarks as he was still trying to coax Song Ran, who was feeling emotional.
Song Ran tugged on the wet clothes around his chest. “Gu Jinghang, don’t you dare be rash and act heroic next time. I’ll not spare you again!”
Many people around them were watching. Gu Jinghang had to coax her softly and gingerly. “No, I won’t. I’ll listen to what you say from now on, okay?”
Song Ran’s eyes were red. Gu Jinghang continued in a deep voice, “Don’t be angry, alright?”
Song Ran pouted as tears welled in her eyes. “I like you, so I worry about you. I was afraid something might’ve happened to you. Gu Jinghang, do you not understand? How can you not understand?”
Gu Jinghang was stunned. He tried to recollect his memories. When did Song Ran develop such deep and intense feelings for him?
He was puzzled. For the past three months, Song Ran was aloof to him. Why did she suddenly change and feel so much for him that she could barely control herself?
He really could not recall anything that he had done for her during that period for Song Ran to be so touched.
The moment she cried, his heart ached for her, and he would be lost. He would do anything for her just to make her happy and bring a smile to her face.
Song Ran was weeping hard, and his heart almost broke. He could not think any further. He wanted to hug her and coax her, but he was soaking wet. So he could only continue to stroke her head. “I know. I know you care and worry about me. From now on, my life is yours. I’ll treasure my life, okay?”
Yes, he made a clear and solemn pledge to her.
Song Ran looked at the man whose clothes were wet and dripping with water. She wiped away her tears. With heartache, she grumbled, “You need to change your clothes.”
Gu Jinghang did not mind as he waved his hand. “I’m fine. The sun is hot today. I’ll be dry in no time.”
Song Ran grumbled again, but Gu Jinghang could not make out her words. He only knew that the way she frowned and pouted her lips was adorable and lovely. It felt really good to have someone worried about him.
Song Ran pointed to the boat parked on the side. “I don’t want to go back on the boat.”
“Okay, forget it then.”
Song Ran wanted to pull Gu Jinghang away, but she suddenly remembered that all her food was still on that boat. So she got Gu Jinghang to go back on the boat to retrieve them.
Gu Jinghang hopped onto the boat and hesitated. “Should we return the boat?”
