After changing her clothes, Su Ruan dipped her foot into the water and halted. She had not expected that the water would be cold.
"Sister Ruan, come over quick." Ma Yu Xi waved her hands before she lay on the water, floating.
Su Ruan did not make any move. At this time, she was still adjusting herself to the water temperature.
"Don't tell me that you are scared of the water?" Ma Wei asked as he appeared from behind her. He walked around the truck and finally pulled out a big donut floater. It was big and a little childish. Looking at it made her speechless.
"Here." Ma Wei handed the floater to her. "This is for you."
Su Ruan had thought that it was strange when Ma Wei was sneakily hiding behind the truck. She had thought that her cousin was changing his clothes. It turned out that he was pumping some air into the floaters.
"I bought this from the town center after knowing that you cannot swim," Ma Wei continued.
The corner of her lips twitched. Su Ruan did not know whether she should feel insulted after seeing this big floater.
"Cousin Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I know how to swim. The last time, it was an accident."
"Just take this. For safety."
In the end, Su Ruan grabbed the floater and entered the water. Although she could swim, playing with the floater was fun as well.
After splashing waters with the cousin, Su Ruan began to forget that a certain someone had told her that he was going to come and see her.
A familiar vehicle stopped not far away from Ma Yu Xi's pickup truck and Long Fei and his cousin, Long Yu Heng alighted.
Ma Yu Xi was the first to notice their presence. She wiped the water off her face and tugged at Su Ruan, who was sitting on top of the floater.
But perhaps, her movement was too sudden and she had used too much strength. Because of that, the floater turned and Su Ruan fell into the lake.
Su Ruan did not expect that she would fall into the water. Although the water was not that deep, Su Ruan inhaled some water into her mouth and grew panicked.
Just as she had thought that she was going to drown again, someone had lifted her body out of the water. She coughed and struggled, but then, her body was pulled close into the person's embrace.
"Sister Ruan!" Ma Yu Xi looked at her cousin with her face paled. She did not think that her move would make her cousin fall into the water and almost drowned again.
Just now, Ma Yu Xi was the closest to Su Ruan. However, before she could help her out, someone had moved quicker than she did.
"Su Ruan!" Ma Wei was at a distance away from the girls. When he heard the loud splash, he quickly turned around and was shocked to find that Su Ruan was not on the floater.
Ma Wei ran over to Su Ruan's side to check on her. As he approached, he finally noticed the tall man beside his cousin. His eyes widened in surprise when he finally recognized that man. "Young Master Long?"
Su Ruan sucked in a deep breath and coughed again. Her throat was painful after swallowing some water. She listened to the man's instruction to breathe slowly. As Long Fei patted her on her back, Su Ruan was finally able to breathe properly.
"Su Ruan, are you alright?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Ruan gradually calmed down. She looked up and was stunned to see the man in front of her.
Her mind was a little dizzy, probably because of the lack of oxygen.
It took her a while to convince herself that she was not dreaming. Realizing that she had almost drowned in the water again made her embarrassed.
Just now, she had told him that she know how to swim. However, she fell into not-so-deep water and he had pulled her out.
Who would have thought that she had shown an embarrassing side of her in front of Long Fei? Suddenly, Su Ruan had this urge to hide.
"Let's go out first," Long Fei said. His expression turned serious. It could be seen that he was worried about her.
Su Ruan nodded. Before she could take a step, Long Fei had already carried her out of the water and she was too stunned to do anything.
Long Yu Heng approached them and handed over a towel. He watched as Long Fei wrapped the towel around Su Ruan's body and wondered just when did the two's relationship had made a progress?
He had a feeling that something had happened between them when he was away in Capital City. But what was it? Long Yu Heng was curious but could only suppress his curiosity in front of the others.
Su Ruan hugged the towel around her body tightly. When she looked up again, both Ma Yu Xi and Ma Wei stood in front of her with worried looks on their faces.
"Sister Ruan, I'm sorry. It was my fault," Ma Yu Xi apologized.
If it was not for her sudden movement, Su Ruan would not fall into the water and almost drowned again.
As she recalled what was about to happen, Ma Yu Xi was filled with guilt.
"It's alright. It wasn't your fault. I should be careful as well," Su Ruan said.
Ma Yu Xi bit her lower lips. Although Su Ruan did not blame her, Ma Yu Xi still felt guilty. However, other than apologizing, there was nothing else that she could do.
"Young Master Long," Ma Wei spoke. It was the first time that he had spoken to the man face to face. Therefore, he was very polite. "I have to thank you for saving my cousin. I heard that the last time, it was you who had rescued my cousin when she fell into the water."
"You don't have to thank me. Coincidentally, I was around. I could not just watch when I see someone fell into the water."
Ma Wei turned to his cousin and frowned. He grew frightened when he recalled how Su Ruan had fallen into the water again. "You are really careless.. Even with a floater, you can still fall into the water."
