Fang Jiyin couldn't swim.
Xie Shang let go, allowing her to sink into the water.
"Four..."
As she opened her mouth to call for help, pool water instantly filled her mouth and nose.
Xie Shang swam ashore and stood by the poolside, watching emotionlessly as the person in the water struggled.
Had Fang Jiyin not lied back then, he might have known of Wen Changling's existence, and then he could have met her earlier, and everything that followed would have changed.
"Four... brother..."
As the water engulfed Fang Jiyin's head, she reached out for rescue from Xie Shang.
Xie Shang looked on indifferently.
"You can't wear the hat of a 'savior' for so many years without any consequence, right?"
Fang Jiyin's struggles weakened, the splashes of water gradually calmed, and Xie Shang could clearly see her slowly sinking down.
"Xie Shang."
Xie Yanli's voice broke in inappropriately.
Yes, inappropriately.
Xie Shang looked at the still rippling water and felt somewhat regretful.
