Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 166: Boy vs. Little Bear

System alert: In the bushes on the right side of the pond, there’s a little rascal, completely exhausted and fainted on the shore.

Cheng Xiaoxiao parted the dense reeds, dragged her cumbersome bear body, waded through the mud, and laboriously pulled Gu Yan to her side.

No time to change him into clean clothes.

She took out two blankets, covering both her body and Gu Yan’s small frame to prevent catching a cold.

Then retrieved a rope from the warehouse, tied one end to a nearby big tree, and fastened the other to her current chubby body.

Just in case, she took out a lot of food and supplies, placing them nearby.

Ready and prepared, Cheng Xiaoxiao waddled to the edge of the pond.

The water surface wasn’t too high from the shore, about two meters or so.

{77, do you think the little bear can swim?}

Although she could swim and had a safety rope, she’d never swum with her short bear claws!

The little chubby bear’s body was so round and its claws so short; no matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem reliable.

System: "Host, go for it!"

Forget it, if she dies, she dies!

It wouldn’t hurt to die one more time.

With a do-or-die determination, Cheng Xiaoxiao plopped into the water.

She flailed in the water for a good while, swallowed several gulps of lake water, but couldn’t float. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It was too difficult, with this weight, learning to swim was simply unbearable to watch.

In a short period, Cheng Xiaoxiao tried breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, freestyle, all to no avail.

In the end, whether it was bodily instinct or the little bear’s consciousness taking over, in her panic, well... dog paddle actually got her heavy body afloat.

It almost made the system laugh its metaphorical teeth off... if it had teeth!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was extremely frustrated.

Unbeknownst to her, the system secretly recorded this embarrassing moment.

After a brief adaptation period, thanks to the system’s positioning, she quickly found the two people at the bottom of the lake and swiftly dragged them ashore.

She never wanted to experience swimming in a bear’s body again, it was simply unbearable to view.

Cheng Xiaoxiao gasped for air, intending to complain, but the sounds she made were growls and whimpers.

In her excitement, she forgot she couldn’t speak now.

It was so frustrating she wanted to bang her head against a wall.

The system amusingly said, "Host, if you want to talk, you can use mental transmission to communicate with me."

Cheng Xiaoxiao speechlessly gazed at the sky.

This damn bear life...

Moreover, she realized, with her current body, she couldn’t perform CPR.

So she bought a solar-powered first aid kit from the System Mall, using up all her System Coins.

Cheng Xiaoxiao placed an oxygen mask on Gu Ming and clumsily smeared conductive paste on two electrode pads with her paw; one electrode pad was placed between the second rib on the right side of the breastbone.

This approximately corresponded to above the right nipple.

The other electrode pad was placed at the junction of the anterior axillary line and fifth rib on the left side, roughly corresponding to the area just below the left nipple; the electrode pads needed to be tightly adhered to the skin before proceeding to charge.

Although there were differences between the defibrillator device and the one she used in her previous life, Cheng Xiaoxiao quickly figured it out since her grandfather’s clinic in her past life had a set which she had used twice.

After adjusting the defibrillator, she pressed the discharge button to complete a defibrillation operation once.

Then performed continuous CPR on Gu Ming, repeating the process.

After a period of busy work, finally under the constant electric shocks, Gu Ming’s heart rate showed signs of revival.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was overjoyed.

Success.

Maybe it wasn’t Gu Ming’s fate to die, or perhaps those who practice martial arts have better physiques. After a long breath of oxygen, Gu Ming gradually came around.

However, he appeared dazed and groggy.

Cheng Xiaoxiao cautiously fed him some glucose water, and in his weakened state, he drifted back to sleep.

During the rescue, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t know how anxious and panicked she felt inside.

She kept praying, praying, praying for a miracle because her life was entirely tied to Gu Ming.

Once she saved Gu Ming, she turned to save Feng Siniang using the same method.

But no matter how hard Cheng Xiaoxiao tried, even with the shocks set to maximum, Feng Siniang didn’t wake up.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was despondent and felt it seemed hopeless to save her.

At that moment, beside her, Gu Yan coughed a few times!

Aroused from a faint slumber. When Cheng Xiaoxiao saw him awake, she quickly withdrew the defibrillator.

And a series of overly modern medical equipment.

Her busy paws suddenly halted; using this little black bear body, how was she supposed to communicate with Gu Yan?

A small moment of confusion set in as Gu Yan opened his bleary eyes, his mind instantly clearing.

He flipped up abruptly with a carp jump, remembering he had just fainted by the lakeside.

Right, his parents were still in the pond.

So much time had passed, and they were severely injured; the hope of them being alive seemed slim. At this thought, he couldn’t hold back the flood of tears, his mind went blank, and his legs felt weak and powerless, collapsing to the ground after taking a step.

Choking back sobs, he tried to scramble to the shore again.

Under the hazy moonlight, he saw a little black bear not far away, as well as his unconscious parents lying on the ground, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Fear crept over him.

He felt around his waist, not finding his sword, suddenly remembering it had fallen into the lake too.

Without a handy weapon, he managed to find a wooden stick nearby, and stood up with great effort.

Looking angrily at the little black bear not far away, afraid it would devour his parents.

On this side, Cheng Xiaoxiao was equally speechless, looking at the cautiously guarded Gu Yan, unsure of how to start a conversation.

She had previously tested it; she could only make some huffs and whimpers, unable to form a complete word or phrase.

How was she supposed to communicate?

Seeing Gu Yan’s anger deepen across, his fierce eyes seemingly about to spit fire.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to berate the brat; as the elder, she risked her life to save his parents, yet he looked at her with hatred.

So ungrateful.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was helpless.

She picked up a stick, quickly writing Gu Yan’s name on the ground.

Then when writing her own name, she remembered she hadn’t told him her name.

Recalling his previous address for her, she could only write "female rascal" on the ground.

Cheng Xiaoxiao switched on a flashlight, its beam suddenly flaring into Gu Yan’s eyes, he quickly raised a hand to shield himself.

Cheng Xiaoxiao directed the flashlight’s beam to the words written on the ground.

Gu Yan appeared shocked upon seeing the words there.

Afraid he didn’t understand, Cheng Xiaoxiao pointed at the words "Gu Yan" with a stick, then pointed at him, then pointed at "female rascal," and finally pointed at herself.

Gu Yan was utterly bewildered, in disbelief, then Cheng Xiaoxiao used the stick to point at the people behind him.

Turning his head, Gu Yan didn’t expect to see yet another person not far away, and it was the female rascal. Earlier, overwhelmed with excitement, he didn’t notice his surroundings, but now seeing the unconscious female rascal, he rushed over to check.

Only to find she was no longer breathing, but as he looked around, who had done all this?

Who fished his parents out?

Who brought the female rascal over, even thoughtfully covering them with blankets? Gu Yan was utterly bewildered.

Based on the little black bear’s explanation, so the soul residing within the little black bear is the female rascal?
