The entrance to the water was in the form of steps, and it was easy to walk down the steps to enter the pool.
Chu Xiaoge was pulled along for several steps. When the water reached her calves, those feelings of panic overwhelmed her once again.
She stopped in her tracks, unwilling to go any further.
Shang Dongyuan naturally sensed her resistance and patiently coaxed her, "Move a little further in. Don't worry, I won't let you drown."
"I almost drowned just now." Chu Xiaoge pouted, a hint of defiance in her tone.
"Are you sure? You only swallowed a couple of mouthfuls of water." He recalled the recent incident, remembering her tearful breakdown, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Making a mountain out of a molehill."
Chu Xiaoge picked up on his disdain, and in her shame and anger, tried to shake off his hand.
But unfortunately, Shang Dongyuan reacted faster, grabbing her tightly and pulling her further in.
