The Canary that couldn't escape

Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Soaking in the Cold Pool

"Hah, if you don’t come up, just stay in the water for me! I don’t believe you can endure the bone-chilling cold and never come up."

Mo Ran was already shivering all over, he was right, she couldn’t stand the feeling of the bone-chilling cold.

But, she really didn’t want to go up, she was so afraid of him!

"If you go away, I’ll come up..." Her limbs were starting to stiffen, especially the injured arm, it hurt so much, an agonizing, bone-piercing pain.

Gu Yixuan let out a derisive laugh, "Do you think I would walk away?"

"If you don’t walk away, I won’t come up!"

"Then you stay in the water, as long as you come ashore, I won’t let you go!" Having said that, Gu Yixuan casually sat down with his legs crossed, even had Granny make him a cup of hot tea, and brought over steaming pastries.

He was clearly tempting her!

Mo Ran looked on, grinding her teeth, in fact, she was indeed somewhat tempted by the warmth of the hot tea.

But she needed to have dignity, she couldn’t go up even if it killed her!

So cold, she longed to curl up into a ball, hugging her body. But her arms and legs had to thrash in the water, or she would sink.

Her injured right hand was already numb, she could only swim with one hand, and several times, she sank down only to struggle back up.

The sky was without the sun, but the light was very bright and white, all she could see was the glaring white everywhere.

She couldn’t make out her surroundings, not even Gu Yixuan, she knew she was close to not holding on any longer.

She wanted to get to shore, she didn’t want to suffer like this.

Mo Ran unconsciously paddled towards the shore, little by little, slower even than a turtle crawling.

Finally can’t stand it anymore?

The corners of Gu Yixuan’s mouth curled into a hint of a smile, yet his eyes were cold.

For some reason, looking at the shore so close at hand, she just couldn’t get near it. Suddenly, her leg started to cramp, her complexion changed dramatically, her eyes widened in terror, but before she could scream out, she sank down.

More cold water poured into her lungs, preventing her from breathing.

Help—

She wanted to cry for help, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she swallowed more water, her consciousness scattering even more.

In the water, she could see Gu Yixuan standing on the shore.

Why wasn’t he coming down to save her?

No sooner had she thought this than she heard a splash, someone had jumped into the water.

She saw Gu Yixuan swimming toward her, his pristine white shirt spreading out in the water like a blooming flower, fluttering, drawing closer and closer to her.
