My mind went completely blank for a moment.
When Song Xizhi was panting heavily, the man slowly raised his body to let her breathe for a while.
The man's hoarse voice whispered in her ear, "When I saw you jump into the lake without hesitation, I knew I hadn't loved the wrong person."
Song Xi was taken aback, not expecting him to say that: "Don't you think it's a stupid thing for me to jump into the lake to save a cat?"
Almost no one could understand her. Granny Wu didn't understand, and although her master didn't say it, he didn't understand either.

"When I met you in the icy lake, I could tell that your strength, swimming ability and intelligence would continue to support you, and that even without me, you would eventually be able to swim ashore."
"You won this battle."
"You will be invincible."
