Jian Ran watched the little girl already in the water, unafraid and on her own, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, enjoying the little girl's playful demeanor.

Jian Ran tried to pull back her hand, but Gu Mochen, who was not far off, moved faster. With agile swimming strokes, he approached, reached out his large hand to grasp Jian Ran's small hand, and with a slight force, Jian Ran was helplessly tipped forward.
