Xu Xiuwen became anxious.
He hurriedly climbed up the ladder and pulled An Shishi out of the pool.
He laid the girl's body flat on the ground.
Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi caused quite a stir, and the other three girls naturally couldn't ignore it.
Xiao Youran swam directly to the deep water area, then climbed ashore from there. Song Siyu and Bai Yue'er didn't have her excellent swimming skills, so they could only climb ashore from the shallow water area and then run around the swimming pool to get to the scene.
Xiao Youran noticed An Shishi's appearance after she got ashore.
The latter had her eyes tightly shut, her face pale, and her mouth closed.
"Shishi, Wake up!"
Xiao Youran pushed An Shishi's arm, but she remained motionless.
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended her fingers under An Shishi's nose.
The next second, she exclaimed anxiously, "What should we do! Shishi isn't breathing!"
Song Siyu and Bai Yue'er just arrived, and their faces turned pale when they heard Xiao Youran's words.
An Shishi actually drowned!
She was swimming perfectly fine just now.
There's no time to think about why she drowned; the most important thing now is to rescue her.
Calling an ambulance now would definitely be too late; by the time it arrives, An Shishi would be beyond saving.
Xu Xiuwen feels guilty about An Shishi's drowning. Although it was her idea to have a competition, if he hadn't agreed, the situation wouldn't be like this now.
So Xu Xiuwen is more anxious than anyone else.
He looked at the three women and asked, "Who knows first aid?"
Xiao Youran shook her head. Although she had seen first aid on TV, when faced with an emergency situation, her mind went blank.
Bai Yue'er and Song Siyu are equally blank-minded about first aid.
Xu Xiuwen has indeed never encountered this kind of situation, but haven't you seen a pig running even if you hadn't eaten pork?
There are so many scenes in TV dramas of being rescued after drowning, I've seen them all.
Xu Xiuwen quickly said, "We need to start emergency treatment on Shishi right away. Who's going to perform artificial respiration and CPR?"
The girls looked at each other without saying anything.
Song Siyu said, "You should do it."
"Alright," replied Xu Xiuwen, not expecting any help from them.
He quickly assumed a posture with one leg kneeling on the ground and the other leg bent, while simultaneously directing the three women to help An Shishi up, with her abdomen pressed against his bent knee.
Then, one hand supported An Shishi's head, tilting her mouth downwards, while the other hand gently pressed on the girl's back.
An Shishi spat out a lot of water from her mouth.
He carefully placed An Shishi flat again, but the girl still didn't wake up.
He swiftly laid his palm horizontally on her chest, tensing his arms, ensuring his shoulder center aligned vertically with her chest. Utilizing the weight and muscle strength of his upper body, he pressed down on her chest repeatedly.
Following that, Xu Xiuwen raised the girl's chin and then pinched her nose with his hand, starting artificial respiration.
The three women beside him nervously watched Xu Xiuwen administer first aid.
After repeating the process twice, An Shishi finally took a breath and woke up.
Xu Xiuwen finally sat down softly on the side, heaving a sigh of relief.
An Shishi slowly opened her eyes, her gaze confused, as if unsure of what had happened.
The girls quickly explained the situation to An Shishi in a flurry of voices.
An Shishi, just waking up, looked pale, giving off a sickly, ethereal beauty.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen and said with watery eyes, weakly, "Master, thank you for saving me."
"You're okay, that's what matters. How do you feel? Do you need to be taken to the hospital?"
"I'm fine now."
An Shishi forced a smile.
Seeing this, the tension that had been hanging over everyone finally eased.
At this moment, Xu Xiuwen suddenly caught sight of An Shishi's lips.
When he was trying to save her just now, he was solely focused on the rescue and didn't consider anything else.
Now he noticed that An Shishi's lip shape was quite attractive, and her lips were plump and enticing.
An Shishi obviously noticed his gaze, seemingly realizing something, her face reddened instantly.
She looked away.
Xiao Youran didn't notice these details. She was too flustered just now, but now she suddenly remembered that Xu Xiuwen had kissed An Shishi while trying to save her just now.
Although I know it's to save someone, I still feel uncomfortable when I think about Xiao Xu kissing Shishi.
She knows she shouldn't be so petty. In that situation just now, neither An Shishi nor Xu Xiuwen wanted that to happen.
But she can't help feeling uncomfortable.
Song Siyu paid attention to the expressions of the few people.
Especially An Shishi, lying on the ground, her face pale with a touch of red, she felt something strange, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.
After An Shishi's near-drowning incident, everyone's mood for swimming was ruined.
Xu Xiuwen said to the three girls, "Youran, you and Song Siyu should take Shishi back to rest."
Xiao Youran nodded, then asked, "And you?"
Bai Yue'er also looked over.
Xu Xiuwen glanced at Bai Yue'er and said helplessly, "I have to continue accompanying Bai Yue'er to practice. Anyway, I have to make sure she learns how to swim before the next filming starts."
"Okay," Xiao Youran hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed.
Watching the three women leave, Xu Xiuwen immediately turned to Bai Yue'er and said, "Stop standing there foolishly, hurry up and continue practicing in the shallow water area. You must learn it today."
"I understand," Bai Yue'er replied softly.
Perhaps due to An Shishi's accident, it stimulated Bai Yue'er. In the following practices, her performance kept improving, and eventually, she could swim from one end of the pool to the other.
Xu Xiuwen, who had been wearing a cold expression all along, finally applauded, "Well done, keep it up like this, there shouldn't be any problem with filming."
Bai Yue'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiuwen had been wearing a cold face all along, which was really intimidating.
Xu Xiuwen felt it was getting late, so he said to the girl, "Let's go, let's call it a day for now."
"Okay."
The two of them got ashore and then walked back to the changing room to change clothes.
Once again meeting outside the swimming pool's entrance, Xu Xiuwen caught a glimpse of her and said, "Let's go, back to school."
By the time the two returned to Jiangling College, it was already 6 o'clock.
After swimming all afternoon, Bai Yue'er felt famished, her energy depleted.
Xu Xiuwen also feels hungry.
He looked at Bai Yue'er and said, "Yue'er, I'll make a call to Weiwei to ask if she has eaten. If not, I'll ask her to join us."
"Okay."
Xu Xiuwen took out his phone and started dialing Bai Yue'er's number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Weiwei, it's me."
"Xu Xiuwen, where are you guys? I'm coming to find you."
Xu Xiuwen was startled. Tang Weiwei sounded very anxious. Could something have happened?
After he told her his location, Tang Weiwei immediately hung up the phone.
Xu Xiuwen put down his phone and glanced at Bai Yue'er, saying, "Weiwei is coming to see us. Let's wait here for a while."
In less than five minutes, Tang Weiwei appeared at the north gate.
The girl looked around and quickly walked over when she saw Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yue'er standing by the roadside.
As she approached, she nervously said, "Sister Yue'er, Shi Xiangming is looking for you! He sent many messages asking where you are and even called, but I didn't dare to answer."
