The bent Osmanthus in the Moon Palace (4)

Sihwa was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zian's perfunctory attitude. She simply withdrew her hand and let him swim by himself. Anyway, he would not drown to death at least for the time being.

"Also, since you knew that you could swim out from the tangent direction, why didn't you say so earlier?" She asked aggressively,"are you trying to embarrass a beautiful girl like me?"

Zhang Zian had to clarify this issue.

When people were in danger, their first reaction was always to act according to their instincts. If you fell into the vortex, your first reaction would be to swim away from the center of the vortex. Everyone would do that. Even if a physicist fell into the vortex, his first reaction would be the same, provided that the physicist knew how to swim and not drown.

Zhang Zian was no exception. When he suddenly realized that he was trapped in the vortex, he was also in a panic. All he could think about was to escape in the opposite direction, the faster the better.
