Chapter 5 Lifesaver

　　"No need." When he met the little girl's clear eyes, He Yan paused and said, "You're welcome."

　　For the first time, he took the initiative to explain, "No matter who it is, I believe someone will help. No matter who was in the water at the time, I would help."

　　"Anyway, thank you."

　　Jiang Yingying felt a burning pain in her throat when she spoke. Even so, she still endured the discomfort and spoke.

　　Although her consciousness was hazy at that time, Jiang Yingying knew very well that if it weren't for He Yan, her body would probably not have a good ending.

　　And she would probably become the most miserable person in history, having traveled through time and space, and losing her life for the second time in less than a day.

　　Jiang Yingying didn't know why, just because she was brave enough to help others on the road, she came to this strange era and became Jiang Yingying in 1972.

　　But after Jiang Yingying experienced two near-death situations, she was really glad that she was still alive.

　　She was fine here, with her original family around, her brother and sister-in-law who doted on her, and her lovely nephew.

　　Even after only a short contact of less than a day, Jiang Yingying could feel their love for her.

　　Jiang Yingying hoped that the little girl in her original body could also have an adventure like her.

　　Go to her time and space, become her, and feel the splendor and diversity of her world that is different from this era. Of course, it would be even better if she could help her take care of her parents and family.

　　When she first traveled through time, her life was in danger. Jiang Yingying was just an ordinary person, so she would also feel scared.

　　Therefore, Jiang Yingying was very grateful to He Yan for helping her.

　　If it weren't for him, she would probably have drifted in the icy river until she lost her vital signs.

　　If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been able to come to the military hospital for treatment, nor would she have found her original family so quickly and felt at peace.

　　In short, in Jiang Yingying's heart, He Yan is her savior and a very important person.

　　She looked at He Yan with gratitude. Being stared at by her burning gaze, He Yan felt a little uncomfortable.

　　Jiang Yingying's voice now was not pleasant to the ear, but it made He Yan feel itchy and caused ripples in his heart.

　　"Serving the people is what we should do. No need to thank me." He Yan felt a little heat behind his ears. He turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Jiang Yingying's burning and pure gaze.

　　"Thank you, thank you." Jiang Chao's loud voice made the blush behind He Yan's ears fade away quickly, and he coughed a little uncomfortably.

　　"He Tuan, our family is very grateful for your help. If you hadn't happened to pass by there and saved our Yingying..." He got so excited that he held He Yan's hand tightly.

　　"You are the benefactor of our whole family, He Tuan. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know..."

　　He Yan pulled his hand lightly, but failed the first time. The second time he used a little more strength and finally managed to pull his hand free under Jiang Chao's excitement.

　　"No......"

　　"We must care. You saved Yingying. In our hearts, you are a favor, a favor to me."

　　Xu Zhishu rolled his eyes in disdain, "Your kindness is as great as a mountain."

　　"Yes, yes, yes, your kindness is as heavy as a mountain!"

　　The kid Jiang Yang at the side chimed in, "Thank you, Uncle He, thank you for saving my aunt."

　　Even though he was a little afraid of the stern Captain He, Jiang Yang also knew that Captain He had saved his aunt.

　　The person who saved his aunt was a good man, a very good man. He shouldn't be afraid to talk to him just because he was afraid of him.

　　As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

　　He looked at He Yan in front of him and felt that he was not as scary as his friends and the aunties in the staff quarters said.

　　"Yes, Captain He, thank you so much. We will remember your kindness forever."

　　Xu Zhishu pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Chao on the bed. She said a little embarrassedly, "Well, He Tuan, when Lao Jiang is discharged from the hospital, you must come to our house for a meal."

　　"No need to go to so much trouble," He Yan said, "Comrade Jiang is fine, you don't have to worry about anything..."

　　"He Tuan, don't refuse. This is what we should do." Jiang Chao said, "I only have this one sister."

　　"Yes, Yingying is the only little girl in our family."

　　Jiang Yang looked up at his father, then at his mother, and then cast his gaze at his aunt, whom he had often heard of but had rarely met.

　　He nodded heavily to show his agreement with his parents' words.

　　"That's right! I only have this little aunt!"

　　Jiang Yang opened his eyes wide and looked at He Yan with a sincere tone.

　　"Uncle He, thank you."

　　He Yan laughed and patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder.

　　"I just did what I should do. I would save anyone else if it was them. You don't have to take it too seriously."

　　Seeing their anxious looks, He Yan paused and said, "Okay, if you really want to thank me, just treat me to a meal when Jiang Chao is discharged from the hospital."

　　He Yan was really afraid of their family's enthusiasm. He pursed his lips. "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."

　　"Then, Yingying and I will see you off..." Xu Zhishu said. It wasn't that she had to drag Jiang Yingying along, but she was a little scared to face He Yan alone.

　　"Don't bother, just sit down, no need to see me off."

　　After He Yan finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and after leaving the room, he considerately closed the door.

　　As soon as he went out, He Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

　　When he realized what he had done, He Yan couldn't help but chuckle. He pinched his brows, and in just a moment, he returned to his usual cold and stern face.

　　He Yan walked away from this family whose overly enthusiastic attitude made him feel a little overwhelmed.

　　Inside the door, Jiang Chao and his companions breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

　　Then, they looked at each other and laughed together.

　　Xu Zhishu said: "Captain He is a nice person, but his aura looks quite scary."

　　Jiang Chao also said: "That's right, if it weren't for this time, I never thought that one day I would talk so much with He Tuan."

　　Is he that scary? Jiang Yingying thought, he just looks a little cold, but he is actually a good person.

　　She let go of her hands and found that her palms were sweaty.

　　Jiang Yingying had a habit since she was a child. When in front of the opposite sex she liked, she would unconsciously become nervous and her palms would sweat.

　　From childhood to adulthood, apart from a senior whom she liked during her school days, He Yan was the second person she met.

　　However, Jiang Yingying thought, maybe she confused kindness with the affection of the opposite sex, or maybe she was just like her brother and sister-in-law, too nervous and scared.

　　Jiang Chao looked at Jiang Yang who was standing there in a daze. Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying also looked at him.
