She took another small step back, which caused her to fall into the river. With a splash, the shock and panic made Ning Qiluo forget how to swim for a moment after falling into the water. She struggled in the water for a while before running out of strength and gradually calming down.
But the calm was only temporary.
The river was flowing downstream, and she was already quite a distance from the bank, the river carrying her further and further downstream...
Ning Qiluo didn't calm down for long before she panicked again.
But then she heard a splash and saw that Sheng Changxiu had wheeled her wheelchair to the riverbank and jumped into the river.
"Sheng Changxiu, are you... insane...?"
Ning Qiluo spoke indistinctly.
I tried to float a little higher so I could regain my strength and slowly swim back to shore.
She was just startled by suddenly falling into the river, which is why she drifted downstream and didn't have time to swim back to the shore.
Now that she's regained her senses, she has to save herself.
She hadn't really hoped that Sheng Changxiu would make a call for help for her. It was more likely that Sheng Changxiu would just stand by and do nothing. If she died, Sheng Changxiu would definitely be the happiest person.
Because Sheng Changxiu hated her, Sheng Changxiu had always hated her.
But she didn't expect that Sheng Changxiu would also jump into the river.
The chill enveloped her limbs, but even with her legs restricted, Sheng Changxiu was still able to swim towards Ning Qiluo.
"Grab me, Ning Qiluo, hold on tight."
The water submerged the two nostrils and throat.
The body, exposed to cold water, gradually became stiff.
Ning Qiluo instinctively grabbed Sheng Changxiu, and her words were complete and clear: "When you came down to save me, did you call Qiu Jin?"
"No," she answered immediately.
Ning Qiluo almost drowned.
"Actually, I can swim across by myself. If you come down to save me, you'll only get yourself in trouble, won't you? I don't want to feel guilty or owe you anything."
"Shut up!"
"..."
At this moment, Sheng Changxiu pried her hands off, "Then swim by yourself."
As soon as she let go, Ning Qiluo's body floated downstream. She whimpered in fright, but Sheng Changxiu grabbed her again: "If you don't want to be swept away by the river, and if you don't want the Qi family to retrieve your body from the river, then hold on tight to me."
Ning Qiluo was so frightened that she grabbed Sheng Changxiu tightly.
When they reached the shore, the two were exhausted.
Ning Qiluo went ashore first.
It was Sheng Changxiu who helped her get ashore. She had all four limbs intact, so getting her ashore first made it easier to pull her back up.
Ning Qiluo believed it and struggled to climb ashore.
When she turned back to pull Sheng Changxiu, she only saw her hair about to sink into the water. She reached out to pull her but couldn't. She screamed hysterically, "Sheng Changxiu! Sheng Changxiu, come up! Don't joke with me!"
"Sheng Changxiu, come to the surface quickly, it's so cold in the water."
"Sheng Changxiu!"
Ning Qiluo's voice became hoarse from shouting, but the water was slowly returning to calm, and there were no more ripples to indicate that the person underwater was still moving, not even a single bubble rose to the surface.
Ning Qiluo panicked completely.
Ignoring the fact that he had exhausted himself swimming over there, he fell back into the water with a splash and sank.
The water completely submerged her throat, making it impossible for her to breathe or exert any strength. Her body continued to sink, and her vision was murky in the water. She tried her best to see clearly.
My body was stinging from the cold river water.
This river is an essential passage for both the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to pass through.
