After listening to what Elder Liu had to say, I couldn't help but widen my eyes in surprise.
"Big Brother Liu, you...you want to propose to me? This...this can't be right." I was truly at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
However, just as I finished speaking, Elder Liu suddenly stiffened and then plunged straight into the water.
With a loud "splash," I was utterly stunned at that moment.
I hurriedly ran to the edge of the hot spring: "Big Brother Liu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Big Brother Liu, say something."
But when I calmed down, I realized that the hot spring was eerily quiet; under the water's surface, I couldn't see anything at all, as if Big Brother Liu had vanished.
I was terrified, after all, Big Brother Liu is nearly seventy years old. If he drowned, I would bear some responsibility.
Although I couldn't swim, with things as they were, I didn't care about that anymore and jumped straight in.
