"Hmm!" Ruan Weiwei only felt an irresistible force coming from her ankle that instantly changed the direction, causing her original trajectory of rushing towards Qin Yuzheng to suddenly deviate.
Time seemed stretched and distorted.
She watched Qin Yuzheng's cold, handsome face, which was so close to her, quickly move away and spin in her sight.
She waved her arms in vain, trying to grab something, but only caught cold air.
His body completely lost control and he fell straight towards the sparkling, bottomless blue swimming pool next to him.
“Plop——!!!”
The huge sound of falling water was like thunder, violently tearing the tranquility of the swimming pool area! The water splashed up into the sky, like a huge, embarrassed white lotus exploding!
The freezing cold pool water suddenly rushed in from all directions and poured into the mouth, nose and ear canals.
Ruan Weiwei was caught off guard and was choked to the point that her vision went black and the air in her lungs was rapidly squeezed.
She was like a shrimp thrown into boiling water, struggling in vain, uttering intermittent, heart-wrenching coughs and screams:
“Cough! Cough cough cough! Help… Help! Help… cough…”
This sudden change startled several guests in the distance. They all stood up and looked over in surprise and confusion.
Qin Yuzheng remained firmly seated on the recliner. From the moment Ruan Weiwei fell to the moment she landed in the water, the entire process happened in a flash.
He didn't even move an inch, not even his eyes showed a ripple, as if what was happening before his eyes was just a ridiculous farce that had nothing to do with him.
Those deep eyes swept across the struggling figure in the swimming pool calmly, as if sweeping across a piece of falling duckweed.
As for Qin Yuheng, the moment Ruan Weiwei fell into the water, the bright and innocent smile on his face was instantly replaced by a perfect look of astonishment and concern.
He even subconsciously took a small step back, as if he was also frightened by this sudden accident.
"Oh my God!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief and worry. He immediately ran to the edge of the swimming pool, squatted down, and reached out his hand to Ruan Weiwei who was struggling in the water.
His tone was anxious and full of "kindness": "Miss Ruan! Are you okay? Why are you so careless! Quick! Grab my hand!"
Ruan Weiwei was choking to death in the water, her consciousness was a little fuzzy, and she only saw a hand reaching out from the pool, like a life-saving straw.
Instinctively, she struggled with all her last bit of strength, trying to catch it.
Qin Yuheng's hand was stretched out long and steady. However, just as Ruan Weiwei's fingertips, delicately painted with nail polish and wet with moisture, were about to touch him—
His outstretched hand retracted slightly in a very "natural" and unnoticeable manner.
It was this slight, almost imperceptible retraction that allowed Ruan Weiwei's fingertips, which she stretched out with all her strength, to just glide across his palm.
"Ah!" Ruan Weiwei missed her grasp and lost her balance again due to inertia. She choked on a large mouthful of water and thrashed even harder, her eyes filled with despair and confusion.
"Oh! Be careful! Don't be anxious!" Qin Yuheng's tone became more anxious, his brows furrowed, as if he was extremely worried about her safety, and the "rescuing" hand reached forward again.
His voice was so gentle that water could drip out of it: "Don't be afraid, Miss Ruan, relax! Hold on to me! Take your time!"
His voice was like a tranquilizer, carrying a soothing power.
Driven by the pain of choking on water and the instinct to survive, Ruan Weiwei struggled again to get closer to the edge of the pool and grabbed the hand that was so close to her.
This time, Qin Yuheng did not hold back.
His fingertips touched Ruan Weiwei's slippery and cold wrist steadily and very gentlemanly. However, just when he seemed to be about to pull her up with force——
His wrist slid downwards with great skill, like a swimming fish.
His fingertips slid along the inside of Ruan Weiwei's wrist, causing a strange itch, but without exerting any upward force!
At the same time, his body's center of gravity seemed to "inadvertently" lean back slightly!
This subtle change in force and angle made Ruan Weiwei, who had just gained some strength and had half of her body barely out of the water, feel a downward force!
"Hmm!" She groaned, and her body leaned back uncontrollably again.
“Plop!”
There was another louder splash! The water splashed high again, and even a few drops of cold water splashed onto the instep of Qin Yuzheng's feet at the edge of the pool.
Ruan Weiwei sank completely! This time, she almost lost the strength to cough. She felt the cold water like countless steel needles, piercing her skin and nerves.
Despair and a huge anger at being fooled made her body colder than the pool water.
"Oh no! Why did it slip again!" Qin Yuheng cried out in annoyance, his brows furrowed even tighter, his face full of self-blame and worry, as if he really failed to rescue the victim.
He immediately turned around and shouted to the two muscular lifeguards in black uniforms who were rushing over from a distance, "Quick! Come and help! Miss Ruan accidentally fell into the water! Pull her out! Be careful!"
Two well-trained security guards quickly jumped into the water and professionally and efficiently pulled Ruan Weiwei, who was already half-fainted and limp from the water, and dragged her to the edge of the pool by her arms.
At this moment, Ruan Weiwei looked as disheveled as a rag doll that had just been pulled out of the water.
Her carefully styled curly hair was wet and stuck to her pale face, her eye makeup was smudged, leaving a black patch, and her lipstick was smudged, sticking to the corners of her mouth and chin.
The white bikini was soaked in water and clung tightly to her body, outlining her curves but also revealing some unnatural wrinkles and tear marks on the edges of the fabric, making her look a bit cheap and messy.
