The downpour showed no sign of stopping, and Xu Chaomu's hair was completely drenched. She closed her eyes, her face covered with droplets of water, afraid to open them.
Her inner fear was magnifying bit by bit, but Shen Chi's voice undoubtedly gave her great comfort.
However, after a while, there was still no movement.
Had she imagined it, or had he left?
"Shen Chi... Shen Chi, I'm here... Shen Chi..." she yelled with all her strength, pleading for him to come and save her quickly.
The faint rain mixed with the salty tears streaming down her cheeks, indistinguishable from one another. All around was desolation, like the primal screaming of the primordial universe.
The water level rose higher and higher, engulfing Xu Chaomu's limbs. Xu Chaomu didn't know if she could hold on any longer; her legs were already giving out.
She couldn't swim.
By the time Shen Chi was completely soaked by the downpour, he finally spotted Xu Chaomu.
