"Don’t be afraid! I’ll save you!" Ji Chuan leapt into the water.

Yan Huan was also unable to swim, furiously paddling in the water.

Seeing Ji Chuan reaching out to pull her, she hastily shouted, "Save Yangyang first! He’s still small!"

"Don’t worry! I’ll get both of you out!"

Luckily, the spot where they fell into the water was close to the boat, so Ji Chuan didn’t exert much effort to rescue them.

"Are you both okay?" He took off his shirt, wringing it out as he asked.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Ning Chenyang spat out water, frowning, "This water tastes awful! So stinky!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I told you to hide, and now look!" Yan Huan glared angrily at Ning Chenyang, "Look at our clothes, all soaking wet, what are we supposed to do?"

"How can you blame me? It’s that boat that crashed into us." Ning Chenyang pointed at the small boat not far from them and shouted, "Are your eyes not working? Do you even know how to steer a boat?"

"I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!" The person who had knocked over their boat kept apologizing to them, "I’m truly sorry!"

"What’s the use of saying sorry now? What were you doing earlier?" Yan Huan frowned, wringing out the water from Ning Chenyang’s clothes as she spoke.

"They were probably scared silly just now." Ji Chuan waved at the people on the boat, "It’s okay. Just be more careful! It’s a good thing nothing serious happened, or it would’ve been big trouble!"

"Oh, oh! Alright, really, I’m so sorry!"

"These clothes are so uncomfortable all wet! I’m not going to wear them, I want to take them off!" Ning Chenyang shouted, unhappy with the wet clothes sticking to him, insisting on taking them off.

The early summer sun was warm, and the breeze was gentle, so there was no worry of catching a cold.

"Let’s head back. I’ll row the boat to shore." Ji Chuan glanced at Yan Huan’s wet dress, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

She was wearing a white dress, and with it soaked like this, the outline of her undergarment was perfectly visible, even the color showing through.

Yan Huan caught Ji Chuan’s fleeting glance and the faint smile on his lips, looked down at her clothes and immediately understood the reason for his smile.

A flush of red swept across her face, and she whispered, "Pervert!"

Ji Chuan chuckled quietly, "One glance makes me a pervert?"

"Hmph! Turn your head away, don’t look at me!" Yan Huan gave him a glare.

"What are you guys talking about?" Ning Chenyang looked at the two of them puzzled, "Who’s the pervert?"

"Why do kids have to be so curious about everything!"

"Why do kids have to be so curious about everything!"

The two replied in unison.

"Fine, I won’t ask." Ning Chenyang obediently closed his mouth, but perked up his ears to listen more intently.

In no time, the boat reached the shore.

After being blown by the wind and dried by the sun, their clothes were not as wet, though still a bit damp.

As they got off the boat, Yan Huan suggested, "Shall we go eat? I know a place that makes great braised fish, both Yangyang and I, this little foodie, love it! I’m sure you’ll love it too."

"Okay. Whatever you guys want." Ji Chuan said, his mood lightened as he watched Yan Huan’s beaming face.

"Great. Let’s go!" Yan Huan grasped Ning Chenyang’s little hand and started forward.

Ji Chuan followed behind the two, and suddenly, his gaze fell on the small red flower blooming on the back of Yan Huan’s white dress.

He paused slightly in surprise and called out, "Yan Huan, wait!"
