The person on the shore screaming like mad, already scared enough to faint, wasn't that Xu Miao, who they had met on the train?
But who was the one in the pond?
Watching the figure in the pond sinking and floating, nearly submerged, Jiaojiao couldn't care about anything else. She screamed for help at the top of her lungs. It didn't matter who was in the pond—this was a human life at stake!
Ruan Jie could swim. He often swam in the river back in the countryside to catch fish. Upon seeing this, he didn't overthink; as he ran to the opposite side, he pulled off his heavy clothes and shoes and, just when the person in the pond started to sink completely, plunged headfirst into the water.
A winter pond could kill someone. The moment Ruan Jie jumped in, he shuddered violently, momentarily frozen stiff in the icy water.
