Chapter 2

The water of the cold lake was icy, and when Ye Chu jumped into it, he felt a bone-chilling cold. This icy coldness made Ye Chu's heart jolt, and he couldn't help but worry about the two women. He suddenly increased his speed, rolled a few times in the water, and dived deeper. The little girl and the mature and alluring woman were not good swimmers, so they shouldn't be too far from here.

Sure enough, Ye Chu didn't have to dive far before he found the little girl. He reached out and pulled her over, only to find that she had already fainted. Ye Chu, without hesitation, quickly spotted the mature and alluring woman still struggling on the other side. Despite the water, Ye Chu could still see her fair and smooth skin. Even though she was wearing clothes, her excellent figure was evident. Her arms were flailing, causing her body to rise and fall, and her buttocks occasionally swayed, revealing a very enticing curve. However, this struggle didn't last long, and her long, white legs soon hung limply, and she began to sink.

Despite the tempting beauty before him, Ye Chu had no time to appreciate it. He quickly reached out and pulled her in, holding one in each hand, and then dived up sharply.

The women's bodies were cold, but as Ye Chu held them, he could feel their astonishing smoothness, which made his heart flutter even as he focused on saving them.

The water plants in the cold lake were very lush, and as Ye Chu tried to surface, his feet were entangled by the plants. He struggled a few times but couldn't break free. The cold lake was dangerous, which was why few people dared to jump in when they saw the two women fall. Once entangled by the water plants, the chances of survival were slim.

Clearly, even with his good swimming skills, Ye Chu was in grave danger. Even the best swimmers would find this situation challenging.

But after struggling a few times without success, Ye Chu suddenly shouted, "Break!"

Instantly, a miraculous scene unfolded: the water plants entangling Ye Chu actually broke into pieces. Ye Chu took advantage of this and quickly swam up, dragging the little girl and the mature and alluring woman to the shore.

"Saved, saved!" A few women were excited and ran over to help Ye Chu drag the two women onto the shore.

The women looked at Ye Chu, who was drenched, with shining eyes. They hadn't expected this young man to have such skills, managing to save both women from the dangerous lake.

"What a pity, such a fine young man, yet he has some connection with that scoundrel!" The women muttered to themselves, their eyes fixed on Ye Chu.

Ye Chu didn't mind being stared at. Why else would a man be so handsome if not to be looked at by women? In his previous life, he would walk around the city center every day!

"Help revive them!" Ye Chu shouted to the women who were pressing on the little girl's body. After a few presses, water gushed from the little girl's mouth, and she suddenly started coughing, regaining consciousness.

"Awake, awake!" The women were excited to see the little girl wake up. Ye Chu bent down, as if about to kiss the mature and alluring woman. "What are you doing? Taking advantage of someone in distress!"

Ye Chu raised an eyebrow and said, "She drank too much water; I'm preparing to give her some air!"

Seeing Ye Chu angry, the women were hesitant. One of them said, "If that's the case, let us do it."

"Nonsense!" Ye Chu scolded. "Can a woman's lung capacity match a man's? If we miss the best time for rescue, who will be responsible?"

The women, silenced by Ye Chu's scolding, dared not insist, fearing they would be held responsible if something went wrong. "Then hurry up!"

Seeing the women's reaction, Ye Chu wondered if he should pretend that the mature and alluring woman needed to take off her wet clothes to wake up. But thinking it was too obvious, he resisted the temptation.

He turned his gaze to the mature and alluring woman. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and although she was dressed conservatively, the wet clothes clung to her body, revealing her excellent figure. Her curves were exposed, and her chest was prominently raised, making her a very attractive woman.

Ye Chu restrained himself from staring at her legs, chest, and buttocks and focused on her lips. Although her lips were slightly pale, they still had a luster, indicating that she was not in serious danger despite being unconscious.

"Hurry up!" The women urged, seeing that Ye Chu had not yet given her air.

Fine!

Ye Chu, who had been considering whether to take advantage of the situation, no longer hesitated and bent down to press his lips to the woman's enticing lips.

"Cough..."

But before Ye Chu's lips touched hers, the woman suddenly started coughing. A mouthful of water, including some water plants, spewed out, splashing Ye Chu's face.

"Ah!"

Wiping his wet face and seeing the water plants on his hand, Ye Chu was both amused and frustrated: Was this karma? But if it had to be karma, couldn't it at least let him have his way first? He hadn't even kissed those alluring lips yet!

"Awake, awake!" The women, ignoring Ye Chu's predicament, tended to the little girl and the mature and alluring woman. The two, though still weak, quickly recovered with the help of the others.

"Yaoyao!" The mature and alluring woman tightly hugged the little girl and burst into tears. The little girl, clearly frightened, also hugged the mature and alluring woman and cried.

"Um... You're both drenched. In this weather, it's easy to catch a cold. You should find a place to change into dry clothes." Ye Chu reminded them, noticing that the little girl was already cold, with her lips turning blue.

The mature and alluring woman finally turned her gaze to Ye Chu, her face showing gratitude. If it weren't for this young man, she and Yaoyao might have drowned in the cold lake.

Bai Xuan's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and her pale face made her look even more pitiful. "Thank you, sir, for saving us!"

Ye Chu shook his head. "It was nothing! Don't worry about it. Go back quickly; children can't withstand such cold!"

The mature and alluring woman nodded. "May I know your name, sir?"

"Ye Chu!" Ye Chu didn't hide his identity and answered directly. He hoped that his handsome face would prevent these women from turning against him; Ye Chu always believed that being handsome could improve one's character!

"What? You're really Ye Chu?" The women, who had initially felt some goodwill towards Ye Chu, looked at him with disbelief and a hint of shock.

They couldn't believe that the scoundrel of Yaocity would save people. That scoundrel should have been throwing stones from the shore! Moreover, how could a weak and useless person like him save two people from the cold lake?

The women, shocked, quickly showed disgust and a hint of panic in their eyes. They no longer approached Ye Chu, avoiding him as if he were dog feces.

Bai Xuan, who was familiar with the notorious name from three years ago in Hecheng, was also surprised. She hadn't expected the person who saved her to be such a person. Her face, which had initially shown gratitude, now looked complicated.

She bid Ye Chu a distracted farewell and quickly left with Yaoyao, as if avoiding a beast.

Although the young man before her didn't look repulsive, his bad reputation made her cautious. Bai Xuan knew her charm; who could guarantee that he hadn't helped her because of her beauty?

In Yaocity, Ye Chu was the ultimate scoundrel. Initially, there were several people named Ye Chu in Yaocity, but because of him, the name became a pariah. Everyone who was named Ye Chu changed their names, unwilling to be tainted by the name.

Which scoundrel could make people with the same name change their names out of disgust? Ye Chu did, and he was that kind of person!

Watching the women leave with disgust, Ye Chu sighed helplessly: The reputation of a scoundrel truly runs deep! Even the noble aura from the depths of his soul couldn't cover it up! How detestable was he?
