Seeing she really dared not, Ye Huang said, "Try letting go of one hand first."
Bai Xiao carefully released one hand, but her other hand still clung tightly to Ye Huang.
"Feel the buoyancy of the arm float."
Bai Xiao tried it, and indeed, she could float.
Ye Huang forcefully pushed her other hand away and floated to the side, creating some distance between himself and Bai Xiao.
"Ye Huang, don't go."
Bai Xiao immediately panicked, reaching out to grab Ye Huang.
She didn't succeed.
She flailed her hands wildly, slapping the water surface, fear rising from her heart: "Ye Huang! Ye Huang!"
Each call, laden with panic, fell upon Ye Huang.
She was truly scared.
Ye Huang gently furrowed his brows and swam over to wrap his arms around her waist: "I'm here."
As soon as he did so, Bai Xiao immediately raised her hands, hooking them around his neck, refusing to let go, her voice trembling, "Ye Huang, I'm scared."
Her whole body was shivering.
How could she be so afraid?
