"Shit! Li Canxing, are you nuts?" Infuriated, Su Xiaomo cursed loudly. However, she was concerned with An Xiaxia's safety and crouched down right away. She then extended her hand towards her friend. "Xiaxia, take my hand."
An Xiaxia tried her best to stand still and reached out for Su Xiaomo.
However, the rocks under her feet were covered in moss and were extremely slippery. Her fingertips brushed Su Xiaomo's and she fell down again.
After a recent autumn rain, the creek was filled to the brim. It might look shallow from above, but one would realize how deep it was after falling in.
Su Xiaomo couldn't swim and was terrified.
"Xiaxia! Xiaxia!" she called out, but An Xiaxia kept sinking and was thrown into a panic as she struggled.
Jian Xin'er snickered. "So stupid. She can just crawl out."
Ding Yiyi was also gloating over An Xiaxia's little misfortune.
Li Canxing watched this calmly. She had calculated that push she gave Su Xiaomo.
By doing that, she wouldn't be blamed even if An Xiaxia was injured.
As for how badly injured An Xiaxia would be, well, that woman had it coming.
She smiled and readily watched An Xiaxia struggle in the water.
Su Xiaomo almost burst into tears as she yelled, "Do any of you know how to swim? Give her a hand! She's been afraid of water her whole life! She'll drown if we do nothing!"
"Tch, don't exaggerate! She can just come out herself. The water is not that deep…" said Jian Xin'er with a smile. However, the expression on her face froze in the next instant.
Because of the rushing water, An Xiaxia was a distance away from them already and the water was slowly going over her head.
Gosh… how deep was this creek?
The look on Li Canxing's face changed as well and she cried out, "Shit! This water is so deep! Go get someone!"
Cold-blooded as she was, she only wanted to teach An Xiaxia a lesson, not kill her!
Sheng Yize was hurrying toward them at this moment and quickened his steps at the noise.
Seeing An Xiaxia getting swept away by the water, everything went dark in front of his eyes as dizziness fell over him.
The familiar horror… the nightmarish memory… it turned over and over in his head…
The sharp-eyed Su Xiaomo spotted him and waved frantically. "Sheng Yize! Didn't the paper say you were a champion swimmer in middle school? Go get Xiaxia out!"
Sheng Yize clutched his chest with his hands. All the color was gone from his face as he panted heavily.
Su Xiaomo only though he was afraid and shook him violently by his shoulders. "Are you a man or not? Damn it! I'll go get someone! Xiaxia, hang on there!"
Splash —
An Xiaxia had finally managed to stick her little head out of the water, but sank right back under. Before she had time to cough, she was back at the bottom of the water.
Water, water everywhere. It was pouring into her body through her nose and her mouth. She could barely breathe and her limbs were weak. In a half-conscious state, An Xiaxia thought she was probably going to die.
Tears were streaming down Su Xiaomo's cheeks. "Sheng Yize! I now know what you are! You coward! You would turn away from a dying person!"
Jian Xin'er snapped. "That's enough, Su Xiaomo! It's so dangerous and having Captain Yize going in won't change anything! This is moral abduction1! Just because he can swim doesn't mean it's his duty to do it!"
"Enough! Just call someone!" Li Canxing frowned. Even her hand reaching for her phone was shaking.
If anything happened to An Xiaxia… she would become a murderer…
While everyone was going out of their minds, Sheng Yize suddenly leapt into the rushing water!
