That's... Xiao Yuan!
Ren Chuqing's heart chilled as she saw Xiao Yuan, his hands bound, his body continually sinking. It seemed as though he made no effort to struggle, simply allowing himself to sink further down.
Had he already drowned? Or was he still conscious?
Desperately thinking, Ren Chuqing tried hard to swim towards Han Chuyuan.
But the dark currents and the waves in the sea made her efforts almost futile.
Fortunately, Han Chuyuan wasn't too far from her to begin with, and the surging waves instead pushed him closer to her.
Nearer... closer!
When Ren Chuqing finally caught hold of Han Chuyuan, her entire body was trembling.
Perhaps... this was her only chance to save Xiao Yuan!
Struggling, she supported Han Chuyuan, trying hard to swim towards the surface of the sea.
Human strength sometimes seems so powerless before nature, as if all one's energy were pounding against cotton.
