Li Jinghang felt himself sinking relentlessly. He flailed his arms in the sea, struggling to swim upward.
But he was too slight, like an ant trying to shake a tree in the treacherous sea currents, it was far beyond his capability.
When his last bit of strength was exhausted, his body continued to sink.
He felt regretful.
There was still so much he hadn't done.
Just as the boy was slowly closing his eyes, he felt someone grab his hand, pulling him up.
He forced his eyes open, doubting what he saw.
The man didn't say anything when his mum begged him to save him.
He thought Huo Sichen had decided not to choose him.
The man's strength was already overdrawn. It's never easy to save someone in the sea, not to mention the weather was bad and the waves were huge today.
But after catching the boy's hand, he held onto him tightly, not allowing him to disappear again from his sight.
Exhausting his last breath, he finally pulled the boy out of the sea surface.
