Knee deep in trouble (3)

Zhiyuan sucked in a mouthful of air and dived underwater. He kept a clear view ahead as he swam in the depths.

Xinyi... Xinyi, where are you? Please don't make me scared like that. Please you cannot leave me, Xinyi…Don't this to me.

He searched everywhere but he couldn't see her. He was running out of breath and just at that time, he saw her dress fluttering in the water at a distance. There he saw faintly floating.

Zhiyuan swam faster and faster as he rowed his arms back and forth. As he finally reached her side, he quickly grabbed her in his arm and hung her on his shoulder. Without wasting any time, he swam upwards towards the surface, carrying her.

Zhiyuan climbed out and reached the shore. He gently put her down on the bedrock, their entire bodies dripping with water.
