"I choose to save myself."
As soon as this answer came out, not only did the teachers responsible for scoring freeze, but even the hosts guiding the candidates in the examination hall were taken aback.
To confirm the answer, the host repeated into the microphone, "Your physical strength is only enough to save one person. Please make your choice as quickly as possible."
Candidate number 1002 was unequivocal, "I choose to save myself."
"You can save one person."
"I've saved them, that person is myself."
"Apart from yourself, you can save one more."
"I can't swim, so I can only save myself."
In the spectator stands outside the examination area, Cheng Bingxin opened her mouth in surprise and after a moment, she elbowed Yue Linger in the waist.
"Linger, I think he makes sense. If you can't swim, you really can only save yourself."
Yue Linger immediately retorted, "You think he makes sense, then you can go find a boyfriend who can't swim in the future."
