Chuzheng suddenly extended her arms to embrace him, and the boy, as if receiving a response, showed a trace of joy. However, that joy froze on his face the next second.
He slowly leaned on Chuzheng's shoulder, and his whole being quieted down.
Chuzheng took a breath and began to swim toward the surface with him.
When they surfaced, the light was brighter, and Chuzheng could clearly see their current location.
This was a cave, with luxuriant plants growing on the walls, plants that glowed like stars, scattered throughout the entire cave, illuminating it.
Chuzheng dragged Li Tang onto the shallows and sat down beside him, resting her hands on her knees. Water dripped from her fingertips into the water, making a faint sound.
The moisture on her body evaporated at a visible rate.
After a while, Chuzheng touched her lips and then gently pursed them. She turned her head to look at Li Tang, suddenly flipped over, and braced her hands on either side of him.
