The lake water, having just been covered with snow, was icy cold and bone-chilling. As soon as Xia Yiwan plunged into it, she felt an intense contraction in her lungs and her whole body sunk down.
As the frigid water reached her head, Xia Yiwan snapped awake and pushed off from the bottom, shooting upwards.
It wasn't too far from where she fell to the edge of the lake; only a few strokes would take her to shore.
However, just as she surfaced, she suddenly got a cramp in her calf, and her body involuntarily recoiled back into the water.
Suddenly frightened, Xia Yiwan thrashed her hands against the surface, but she still ended up swallowing some water.
Just as she resurfaced, barely managing to spit out the water from her mouth, she saw Si Mo diving frantically into the water.
A wave of relief washed over Xia Yiwan and she extended her hand towards Si Mo.
Just then, a feeble cry for help came from the side: "Brother Mo... save... huh!"
