Almost Broke Her

Xiao Yuqian rested a towel on her shoulders and walked along the shoreline with Ma Haodong next to her. Ma Haodong took the chance and grabbed Xiao Yuqian's hand.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yuqian asked, trying to pull her hand back. But Ma Haodong gripped her hand tightly, not letting her go.

"No," Ma Haodong said and pointed at the waves. "What if you get swept away by the waves?"

"I know how to swim."

"Don't you know that most people who drown are people who can swim? Nie Zhenglan is a good swimmer, too, right? Look at how dangerous it was just now."

Ma Haodong's words actually managed to silence Xiao Yuqian. She tried shaking his hand off for a few seconds but it didn't work. In the end, Xiao Yuqian gave up and let him hold her hand.

They walked down the beach on the soft sand, hand in hand. As the sea breeze slowly grazed their faces, their hearts were warm.
