My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 54

After Lin Mo disappeared into the big wave, the child’s figure was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Lin Mo’s.

At that moment, everyone standing by the sea fell silent.

The tide began to rise, and the sea breeze grew wilder. The sound of the waves surging up and crashing against the reefs seemed to burst their eardrums.

All they could see was water, and more water…

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the sea, and their bodies were tense.

Whoosh.

It was such a subtle sound in the midst of the giant waves and strong winds, but at this moment, it exploded in the heart of every person who wanted to save someone.

Lin Mo emerged from the sea about 10 meters away, holding the child. In this weather, with the water churning below the surface, it was only a matter of time before they were swept away.

But no one gave up. The moment Lin Mo came out of the water, Qi Yushan, who was staring intently at the surface, immediately shouted, “Over there.”

“There!” The other rescuers also shouted.

Someone brought a bamboo pole, and someone else brought a lifebuoy. Everyone was working hard for this slim hope.

[Ahhhh, it’s Lin Mo.]

[Thank goodness, she’s still alive.]

[Wuwuwu, she really found the child!]

Su Qixi suddenly stood up, her eyes wide as she looked.

Li Xinling felt a pang of sadness at her reaction. She walked to Su Qixi’s side, grabbed her hand, and said, “It’s okay, it’s going to be okay.”

“I know…” Su Qixi mumbled to herself blankly. “She said she would come back. I believe her, I’ve always believed her.”

Li Xinling felt a pang of sadness. She thought of what the director had just said: if Lin Mo was sincere, what right did she have to interfere in Su Qixi’s relationship? If Lin Mo wasn’t sincere, then Su Qixi should be the one to see it for herself.

But, whether Lin Mo was sincere or not, she wasn’t someone who would play with Qixi’s feelings.

She was risking her life to save someone. How could a person like that play with hearts?

Li Xinling felt a surge of frustration, but at the same time, she was worried about Lin Mo. She couldn’t accept Lin Mo because she had heard from Yi Mei’er that Qixi, when she first entered college, was like a walking corpse.

The harm caused to Su Qixi by Lin Mo’s abandonment and departure was incomparable.

Lin Mo should have known the consequences. But she still chose to do so, so she should have disappeared forever, not reappear in front of Su Qixi eight years later, carrying a mountain of debt.

But because of this, Li Xinling knew how much Su Qixi liked Lin Mo. Because even after going through such an ordeal, Su Qixi and Lin Mo were only together for a few days before she surrendered to Lin Mo.

Of course, that’s if you count the first few months of their reunion. But at that time, Su Qixi didn’t even dare to see Lin Mo. If Lin Mo had made a move on Su Qixi earlier, they might have even gotten married by now.

Such an intense emotion, Qixi…

Li Xinling didn’t even dare to think about the consequences if something happened to Lin Mo.

“It’s a big wave! Lin Mo!” Qiu Mingyi, who was standing on the beach, shouted loudly.

Lin Mo looked back at the big wave behind her. White foam rose high in the air. The moment the wave crashed down, Lin Mo used the momentum to swim forward with all her might, holding the child.

But with such a big wave, you could only move a few meters forward, and the receding wave could easily pull you back to the starting point.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats. The moment the big wave receded, Lin Mo, holding the child, disappeared from everyone’s sight again.

Did she intentionally avoid the receding wave, or was she swept away by it?

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the wave to recede into the sea. When it did, with a whoosh, Lin Mo reappeared with the child.

She didn’t continue to swim forward but stayed in place, as if she were resting.

Su Qixi’s grip on Li Xinling’s hand tightened. Her eyes were glued to the black dot in the distance.

The moment a new wave came, she, just like before, used the momentum to swim toward the shore. Before the receding wave came, she would go back under the water. Before the new big wave came, she would emerge to catch her breath, rest, and prepare for the next wave.

She wasn’t flustered, as if she had done this many times before. She looked practiced, getting closer to the shore with each try.

Feng Ye let out a sigh of relief, leaning against Zhou Ping. “Thank goodness, thank goodness. I don’t have to die, I don’t have to die!”

[Wuwuwuwu, so touching. She really brought the child back.]

[Wuwuwuwu, she’s so brave. She’s risking her life to save someone!]

[Almost there, almost there. She’s coming back.]

At this moment, Yun Yue, who had heard the commotion and rushed over, understood what had happened. She glanced at Qi Yushan, who was standing on the beach, and clenched her fist, refocusing her attention on Lin Mo in the distance.

Lin Mo truly seemed to be experienced. She didn’t fight against nature and didn’t try to sneak away when the sea was calm.

She was going with nature, with the sea, to find a lifeline for herself and the child.

As Lin Mo got closer to the shore, Qi Yushan stood next to Qiu Mingyi and said, “It’s the last big wave. The receding wave will also be fast, and Lin Mo’s stamina should be at its limit.”

Qiu Mingyi nodded. “I know.”

Once they reached the shore, they had to grab them in one go. Otherwise, if they were swept away again, it was unknown if Lin Mo would have the strength to swim back. She was swimming back with a child!

They had to succeed in one try!

The rising tide reached the shore. Qiu Mingyi and Qi Yushan were already standing in a place where the big waves could reach them, and they were also at risk of being swept away.

But if they wanted to save someone, they couldn’t stand too far away.

The two of them stood there firmly, waiting for the last wave to bring the people to them.

At the same time, several onlookers who were good swimmers were also waiting.

When the last big wave crashed in, it threw Lin Mo and the child onto the beach. Then, with a huge force, it pushed them back into the sea. The child in her arms seemed to be pulled away by the immense force. Lin Mo held on to the child’s hand with all her might at the last moment.

But the force of the receding wave was so great. Fortunately, everyone who had been waiting rushed forward. Before a bigger wave came, Qiu Mingyi grabbed the child who was about to be swept away. He didn’t even have time to look at Lin Mo. He immediately held the child and retreated from the dangerous area, rushing toward the beach.

A second big wave followed close behind. Fortunately, Qi Yushan also grabbed Lin Mo at the last moment, along with two other people.

As the big wave receded, they were pushed back a bit but quickly regained their footing and started pulling Lin Mo toward a safe place.

Lin Mo, who was being pulled, didn’t seem to have any major problems. She even turned to look at Qi Yushan, a smile on her face. “Hey, we meet again.”

Qi Yushan was so annoyed by her. “You really have no regard for your life!”

Lin Mo was being pulled, and she didn’t resist. She looked up at the blue sky. The clouds were moving particularly fast today.

She laughed out loud. “Hahahaha, you were on the side earlier and saw the child fall in the water and rushed in without a second thought, right? You said I was like you, so of course, I can’t lose to you!”

Qi Yushan was speechless, but she had already pulled Lin Mo to the side of the beach.

Lin Mo sat up, wiped her face, and pushed her wet hair back. She looked at Qi Yushan and said, “What you said this afternoon did affect me. I thought about it a lot, and after going into the sea, I realized I’m still different from you.”

Qi Yushan was stunned. Lin Mo said, “When it comes to Su Qixi, I’ve never thought about letting go. That’s the fundamental difference between you and me.”

After saying that, Lin Mo turned to the two men who helped her and thanked them. “Thank you!”

“What are you saying! You’re the hero!”

Lin Mo said, “You are too!”

Qi Yushan’s hand by her side trembled slightly. In the end, she smiled in relief. “Yes, yes, yes.”

The middle-aged man who pulled Lin Mo up saw that she was still in good spirits and laughed. “You’re amazing, young lady! You can swim back in these big waves. No matter how good of a swimmer you are, not many people can do that.”

Lin Mo smiled and said, “Practice makes perfect!”

The middle-aged man laughed. “Oh, you’re quite experienced!”

Feng Ye and the others had already rushed over. With the danger gone, Zhou Ping’s camera was steady again.

[Ahhhhhhhh, Lin Mo is a god!!!]

[She’s saved, she’s saved!!!]

[Wait, they’re still doing first aid.]

[She coughed it out, she coughed it out. The child is okay!!!]

[What about Lin Mo?]

At this moment, Lin Mo was no longer just Lin Mo from the Qilin CP. She was a separate, independent individual from Su Qixi. She was a flesh-and-blood, kind-hearted Lin Mo.

Zhou Ping pointed the camera at Lin Mo again. The child had been unconscious. After Qiu Mingyi brought her up, she was quickly taken to a place where the waves couldn’t reach. There were professional medical staff among the onlookers who immediately began to perform first aid on her.

The child’s mother was crying hysterically on the side, but thankfully, the child was okay.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo, Qi Yushan, and a few others were still by the sea. Although they were no longer in danger and were far from where the waves could reach, a few small waves still came up to where Lin Mo was sitting and then cheerfully went back.

It was now late afternoon, almost evening. On one side was the azure blue sky, and the part of the sky connected to the sea was already a deep red.

The two colors were on opposite sides, slowly blending at the point where they met. It created a beautiful seaside scenery unique to this time of day.

Time passed by quietly in this heart-pounding event. Lin Mo sat in the waves, and Qi Yushan stood to her side behind her. The two of them watched the sun about to set, and the scene was surprisingly beautiful and harmonious.

The Lin Mo in the camera turned her head to the right. Her clothes were soaked by the sea, her hair was blown by the sea breeze, and her handsome and refined features were even more so in the sun. She smiled slightly and reached out her hand.

The viewers in front of the screen were stunned, not understanding the meaning of this gesture.

Then, Su Qixi, like a cannonball, suddenly rushed into Lin Mo’s arms. She knocked Lin Mo down onto the sand. Lin Mo let out a cough and said, “Xiaoxi!”

Su Qixi, who had finally relaxed, burst out at this moment and roared, “Lin Mo, you idiot!!!”

“Hahahaha,” Lin Mo laughed out loud as she lay on the sand. She reached out and patted her shoulder. “I’m fine! I’ll do everything I promised you.”

“Ahhhhh,” Su Qixi screamed in anger. In the camera, they were backlit. Lin Mo lay on the sand, and Su Qixi was on top of her.

The sea breeze howled again. More water surged up than before, and the tide was getting higher.

Qi Yushan was still standing there, watching the two of them with a smile on her face. She didn’t know that the person standing behind her was also looking at her with a complex expression.

Zhuo Zitao could finally relax, so she shouted, “Qiu Mingyi!!!”

[Hahahaha.]

[It looks like everyone is going to have to face the washboard after all!]

[My poor heroes!]

[Hahahahahaha, I wish you all good luck!]

With great difficulty, Su Qixi was finally consoled. Feng Ye followed, looking at Lin Mo with admiration. “Hurry up and retreat! The tide is coming in.”

Not far away, staff members started shouting with megaphones, “Do not get close to the water! The wind and waves are strong today. It’s very dangerous. Retreat! The tide is coming in! Retreat, retreat!!!”

Lin Mo had rested enough and finally got up, pulling Su Qixi up with her.

At this time, the child had also woken up. Someone had called for an ambulance, which hadn’t arrived yet. The on-site staff had already come to handle the situation.

The child’s mother was still in shock. As she was about to leave with the staff, she seemed to realize what had happened. She first knelt down to thank Qiu Mingyi and the others who had helped, and then when she saw Su Qixi supporting Lin Mo as they walked over, she rushed over and knelt down in front of Lin Mo.

“Thank you, thank you.”

She cried and kowtowed. Lin Mo reached out to pull her up. She cried with tears and snot running down her face. “I know you risked your life to jump in and save her. From now on, you are Xuanxuan’s mother. When the child is better, I’ll bring her to thank you. You gave her her life, and she will take care of you in your old age and give you a proper burial.”

Lin Mo frowned and smiled bitterly. “No, no, it’s not that serious.”

The mother’s mind was a mess at this moment. She said these things in a daze and then quickly ran back to check on her daughter.

Then, she hurried away with the ambulance crew. A staff member came over and asked Lin Mo, “Are you okay? Why don’t you rest with us for a bit? The ambulance will be here soon. You should also go to the hospital for a check-up.”

Lin Mo shook her head. Su Qixi frowned. “You should go get it checked out!”

Lin Mo saw Su Qixi’s serious expression and didn’t dare to refuse. She could only say, “…Okay, let’s go get it checked out.”

So, the rest of the filming was put on hold. Feng Ye had the driver take Lin Mo and Su Qixi to the hospital. The live stream comments were filled with praise for Lin Mo.

By the time Feng Ye was packing up to go back, Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing had just returned from their trip. They saw everyone and asked strangely, “Where are Lin Mo and Qixi?”

The guests looked at them with strange expressions. Jiang Lun was confused. “What’s wrong? Oh my gosh, senior Qiu and Yushan, why are all your clothes wet? Did you go for a swim? Why didn’t you tell me? I wanted to swim too!”

Everyone: “…”

The events of the day naturally became a hot topic, making it to the main social media trending list.

Celebrities filming a reality show and encountering a drowning little girl was quite an exciting subject. The video of a guest jumping into the sea to save someone, being swept far away by the big waves before finding the girl, and then bringing her back to shore was a heart-stopping watch.

The topic remained at the top of the trending list, with Lin Mo being the number one search.

Following closely behind were search terms like Qiu Mingyi and Qi Yushan. In the entertainment section, besides those, there were also trending searches like Su Qixi crying, Zhuo Zitao’s worry, and “Where are Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing?”

Not to mention the show, A Home Inn, which had two trending topics of its own. Even Feng Ye’s line, “You have to live!!!” became a trending topic.

The biggest news of the day was undoubtedly the A Home Inn production crew. Although the live broadcast was now off, it was easy to imagine how lively it would be when the broadcast resumed the next morning.

After Lin Mo’s check-up at the hospital, nothing was found wrong. However, she was stopped by several nurses for photos and autographs. The news was not only trending but also had videos on various platforms. The moment Lin Mo arrived at the hospital, the news spread throughout the entire hospital in less than five minutes.

The nurses at the hospital were very thoughtful, doing their best to be thorough and perfect with every check-up. The final results were, of course, that she was very healthy, and everyone’s worried hearts were finally put at ease.

When Su Qixi saw that nothing was wrong, she felt relieved and was in the mood to be jealous.

Fortunately, her jealousy didn’t last long. On the way back, Su Qixi finally received a message from Xiong Jingjing.

[Are you okay? I just finished a meeting and heard about the news from my assistant. You scared me to death.]

Su Qixi pouted. [I’m fine, I didn’t go in the water.]

[Of course you can’t go in the water. With your swimming skills, what can you even do? Don’t even get close!]

[I know, but Lin Mo went in.]

There was silence on the other end for a while. After all, she had watched the video. Lin Mo was indeed very brave. At that time, even someone with excellent swimming skills wouldn’t have dared to go in.

Was it a life-and-death situation? It was more like a sure death!

But looking at the live broadcast, Lin Mo had already rushed toward the scene the moment she saw what was happening. A person who was willing to risk their life to save someone had at least a good character.

But why did she owe so much money? Was it really just because her business failed?

[I told you, she’s a very good person.]

Su Qixi’s message popped up again. Xiong Jingjing couldn’t possibly say that someone who had just risked her life to save someone was a bad person, so she could only reply, [I know.]

Lin Mo’s wet clothes had already been changed. The production crew had bought a simple white t-shirt and shorts for her near the beach. She was a little drowsy now.

Su Qixi leaned her shoulder against her and whispered, “Go to sleep!”

Lin Mo closed her eyes, but she still smiled softly and said, “Okay.”

Although she had used the waves’ power to swim back to shore, it wasn’t an effortless task. Lin Mo leaned against Su Qixi’s shoulder, smelling the scent of her body wash from the day before, and finally fell into a deep sleep, feeling at ease.

Su Qixi reached out and shook Lin Mo to wake her up when the car stopped in the Xiahong Town parking lot. “Wake up.”

Lin Mo’s sleep was not deep. She opened her eyes and saw Su Qixi looking at her with worry. She couldn’t help but feel a little helpless. She reached out and pressed Su Qixi’s hand to her face, rubbing against it. “I’m fine, just a little tired.”

Su Qixi nodded, made sure Lin Mo was ready, and then opened the car door herself.

With a whoosh, the car door opened.

The sky was already dark, but the bright white lights in the parking lot made it as bright as day.

Cameras were set up outside the car, facing it. The filming must have started the moment the car entered Xiahong Town. At the car door, Jiang Lun was standing there, pushing a wheelchair.

Lin Mo was stunned. “…” What was this “husky” up to?

The “husky” spoke. “I am guilty. I can’t believe I didn’t know about such a big event. I heard you’ll be home soon, so I bought this from town. I won’t let you walk a single step.”

Lin Mo: “…I can walk.”

Qiu Mingyi also stood next to the wheelchair, holding back a laugh. “You’re a hero now. How can we let you walk? Look, everyone from the village came to welcome you.”

Lin Mo poked her head out and saw a good crowd. In the few hours she was at the hospital, they had even prepared a red banner.

—Welcome back, hero!!!

With three exclamation marks!

Lin Mo: “…”

At everyone’s strong request, even Feng Ye said that for the sake of the show, she should sit in the wheelchair. So Lin Mo was pushed into the inn in a wheelchair. Her mood at the time was very subtle.

When they got home, the dinner was arranged by the production crew and was very extravagant. Everyone sat down and ate, and they also gave hero medals to Qi Yushan, Qiu Mingyi, and Lin Mo.

After the commotion, at 9 o’clock, Feng Ye finally started to announce the rewards for the day’s events. “Qiu Mingyi won the competition today. Besides the trip to the Aegean Sea, you can pick any day during the show to take one guest on a date! Hehe.”

Qiu Mingyi raised an eyebrow. Of course, Feng Ye didn’t show favoritism and looked at Qi Yushan. “Of course, Yushan is also…” He paused, then added, “…can pick any day to take one guest on a date.”

Even though she and Yun Yue were in this situation, sigh! She was someone who could see someone in danger and go to save them without a second thought. Why did she and Yun Yue end up like this?

You have to know that a person who jumps into the sea like Lin Mo did, only one in a hundred people could come back alive. It was no exaggeration to say it was a sure death.

But even with Qi Yushan and Qiu Mingyi, finding the person in the water in a place where the waves could reach them, using their skills to avoid being swept away, was also risking their lives!

Feng Ye then looked at Lin Mo and said, “You’re a hero now. What kind of reward do you want?”

Lin Mo said, “The same as them, but I have one condition. The day I go out, I don’t want to be followed by the camera crew.”

Feng Ye waved his hand. “That’s no big deal! It’s your call.”

Lin Mo smiled and looked at Su Qixi. Su Qixi playfully wrinkled her nose at her. Lin Mo reached out and pressed her hand on her head, whispering, “Should we pick a day to go have fun? Where do you want to go this time?”

Su Qixi got the second date she wanted, even though she had lost the game.
