Luo Ziling reacted immediately, but he was still a step too late.

By the time he reached Ouyang Huihui’s side, she had already fallen into the lake.

“Help,” Ouyang Huihui couldn’t swim, and as she struggled desperately, she had already swallowed several mouthfuls of water between her struggles and cries for help.

And because of her struggling, she drifted towards the center of the lake.

Luo Ziling, although he could swim, didn’t recklessly jump into the water; instead, he quickly climbed onto a nearby willow tree.

He hooked his legs around a branch that sloped toward the lake surface, then let his body hang down vertically and stretched out his right hand to grab Ouyang Huihui’s flailing arms. The entire process was very fast, and all movements were executed in one smooth sequence.

After seizing Ouyang Huihui’s arms, Luo Ziling exerted a bit of strength and lifted her out of the water, then reached out to encircle her waist and hoisted her up in his arms.

Ouyang Huihui, who was terrified, suddenly felt a great force lifting her from the surface of the lake, hoisting her into mid-air, which scared her to death. Instinctively reaching out to grab anything, as Luo Ziling wrapped his arms around her waist, she clung tightly to Luo Ziling’s body, refusing to let go at any cost.

After holding on to Luo Ziling, Ouyang Huihui burst into loud crying.

Having lifted Ouyang Huihui, Luo Ziling used the strength of his legs and waist to pull himself up. Bearing the combined weight of themselves, at least over 200 pounds, Luo Ziling still managed to straighten up with relative ease using the power of his legs and waist.

Ouyang Huihui was clinging so tightly to him that his movements became somewhat restricted. He whispered a few commands, asking Ouyang Huihui to let go of him first.

But Ouyang Huihui ignored the request and clung on even tighter.

“Hey, let go of me first, we’ll talk once we’re down. People are going to start gathering around soon,” Luo Ziling whispered into Ouyang Huihui’s ear, “If you want the whole school to know about your embarrassing fall into the lake, then keep holding onto me like this.”

These words promptly took effect, as Ouyang Huihui’s grip on his arms loosened a little.

Luo Ziling seized the opportunity to pry her arms open, then with one arm still around her, he deftly climbed down from the tree.

But Ouyang Huihui, still shaken, hadn’t fully recovered. As Luo Ziling awkwardly let go of her, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the ground.

The reason why Ouyang Huihui had fallen into the lake, in addition to not watching where she was stepping and missing her footing, was also because she was wearing a long dress. Stepping on the hem of her dress, she lost balance and fell into the lake. If she hadn’t stepped on her dress, she might not have fallen in.

Ouyang Huihui, overly frightened and weak, sat down on the ground after being released by Luo Ziling and couldn’t get up again.

“Luo Ziling, you bastard, why aren’t you helping me up?” After struggling a couple of times to no avail, and seeing the state she was in made Ouyang Huihui both angry and annoyed; murderous thoughts crossed her mind, “You’re driving me crazy.”

Luo Ziling looked around and decisively scooped up Ouyang Huihui, then dashed towards a dimly lit area without any hesitation. People had already noticed the commotion and were heading their way.

If they lingered any longer, their embarrassing moment would undoubtedly be witnessed and would become the talk of the town in no time.

Suddenly being picked up by Luo Ziling, Ouyang Huihui let out a shout, then quickly wrapped her arms around Luo Ziling’s body. Fearing another fall, she squeezed herself tightly into his embrace once she had hold of him.

Luo Ziling’s clothes were also wet from Ouyang Huihui.

It was only the end of September, the weather was still a bit hot, and they had gone out while it was still light, so Luo Ziling had only worn a shirt without a jacket. Both of their clothes were soaked, which felt peculiar.

Clinging to Lin Lan in the rain and rushing back to his place hadn’t felt like this.

Mainly because back then, Lin Lan was unconscious, wasn’t desperately squeezing into his chest, nor was she holding onto him. And they both wore enough clothes, so even when wet, they couldn’t feel each other’s body heat.

Finally reaching a dark and deserted spot under the trees, Luo Ziling, panting heavily, set Ouyang Huihui down.
