Liu Chen had only wanted to play a joke, but he hadn't expected Qin Lu to be so frightened that her face turned ashen, and she choked on several mouthfuls of water. Seeing this, Liu Chen hurriedly pulled her in front of him and breathed air into her mouth in one breath.
Qin Lu had been struggling in panic initially, but when she recognized it was Liu Chen, she gradually calmed down. Receiving the breath from his mouth, Qin Lu felt herself becoming much more comfortable.
Liu Chen opened his arms and cradled Qin Lu in his embrace; she lay still like a kitten seeking shelter in front of Liu Chen. With a powerful kick of his legs, Liu Chen propelled them towards the surface.
Lin Xueting was still crying from fear when something suddenly burst out of the water, startling her so much that she forgot to cry.
Upon closer inspection, she saw it was Liu Chen coming up, supporting the limp body of Qin Lu.
