Long Qiu dodged, landing in the middle of the river like a leaf from a willow; the surface of the water was not disturbed in the slightest.
She looked down at her shoes curiously. Although she was standing on water, there was no undulating feeling underneath her soles. The surface she stepped on felt as even and steady as solid ground.
"Teehee!"
The girl was elated. Bolting to a sprint, she was a distance away in no time, making only the faintest splashing sound as she trod on water.
"Qiu Qiu, wait for me!"
Xiaojin, who had been standing on shore, was eager to follow suit. She dashed out as Long Qiu did, but sank right into the calf-deep river like a flopping poodle. Water splashed everywhere.
"Sh*t! How does it work again…"
Brandishing her arms, she twisted this way and that. Fortunately, she adjusted in time and rose out of the water again. Long Qiu turned around and chuckled. "You are not doing it right. See, it should be like this…"
