A glint of triumph flashed in Ye Shixian's eyes.
But in the next second, she felt her hand grasp nothing but air. Ye Chutang had somehow twisted her wrist and slipped free!
'Not good!'
Panic surged through Ye Shixian. She opened her mouth to scream, but it was too late. Her body lost its balance, and she tumbled uncontrollably toward the lake!
Ye Chutang suddenly cried out in alarm, "Shixian, be careful!"
Ye Shixian felt a tug at her sleeve and heard a dull thud from behind. But before she could react, she had already fallen into the lake.
The lake water instantly submerged her.
SPLASH—!
Hearing the commotion, everyone in the lakeside pavilion turned to look, and a series of shocked cries erupted.
"Heavens! Miss Ye fell into the water!"
"Someone save her, quickly!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Ye Shixian flailed wildly in the water as it flooded her mouth and nose, threatening to suffocate her. 'I can't swim!'
