Bai Cheng'an stood up, wringing the water dripping nonstop from his body, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. If you want to take a bath, go home and use the tub! If you keep playing by the river and an accident happens, no one will be able to save you!"
The rambunctious children looked at each other, none of them particularly keen on nodding in agreement.
Bai Cheng'an's face turned stern, "What? Haven't you caused enough trouble today?"
At this moment, Bai Cheng'an was no longer seen as a timid and inept city dweller by the children, but as a swimming champion, a great hero who could save Erhu. So while they were not entirely obedient to him, they still held some respect.
"Erhu!" Bai Cheng'an called out Erhu's name directly, "You take the lead from now on. Keep an eye on these little buddies and make sure everyone stays away from the riverbank!"
Erhu scratched his head, "I... I also like to swim!"
"Fine, then I'll go tell your parents about what happened today!"
