As dusk enveloped the sky, the scenery over the lake was especially beautiful.

The two of them made their way onto the deck to admire the lake and mountain scenery of the capital. 

Su Xiaoxiao gazed at the fading sunset glow on the horizon. 

The rippling waves and the lush green mountains filled her with ease and delight.

“So this is what the capital looks like, it’s truly beautiful.”

She had been in the capital for nearly half a month. The farthest she had gone was the Duke Protector’s residence. 

Though the estate’s gardens were pleasant, they still couldn’t compare with the natural beauty of the lake.

She leaned her elbows on the railing, quietly savoring this moment of tranquility.

Wei Ting stood beside her, expressionless.

Su Xiaoxiao climbed up the railing and took a step. 

Instinctively, Wei Ting moved a little closer to her.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Wow, Wei Ting, look! There are fish!”

Wei Ting gave a light response: “Mm.”

Su Xiaoxiao added, “Were the fish we ate caught from this lake?”

Wei Ting replied, “They were caught from the opposite shore of the lake.”

The fish had long fled from this location since it was crowded and noisy.

To catch the plumpest and tenderest fish, one had to go to quieter spots.

Though Wei Ting appeared somewhat aloof, he responded to every one of Su Xiaoxiao’s remarks, even if his tone remained detached.

The breeze sweeping across the lake was slightly chilly.

“Ah-choo!” 

Su Xiaoxiao sneezed.

Wei Ting turned around and went back into the cabin.

Just then, not far away, a sudden loud splash echoed across the water, followed by panicked screams.

“Ah… oh no… someone fell into the water!” 

“Help! Somebody help, quickly!”

“Save me!”

Even the pleasure boat owner, who had been in the middle of gutting a fish, also heard the commotion. He rushed out, while still holding the kitchen knife in his hand.

They saw that the plump little girl, who had earlier acted delicate, complained, ‘I feel a bit seasick’, suddenly lifted her skirt, planted one foot boldly and heroically on the railing, and leapt forward with a thud, well, more like crashing… no, it was jumping into the water! 

The one who had fallen in was a young man.

She grabbed him in one swift motion and, as if tossing a sack, flung him back onto the deck of that pleasure boat.

“He is saved! He is rescued!”

Someone exclaimed in astonishment. 

Su Xiaoxiao had been an excellent swimmer in her past life, and this body wasn’t lacking in skill either. 

What truly weighed her down was the heavy gown she wore. Once drenched, it was several times heavier.

On the pleasure boat, a kindhearted man pointed at the figure struggling through the water and shouted,

“Quick! Quick! Hand that brave fellow a pole!”

Su Xiaoxiao, who always thought of herself as a delicate young maiden: “……”

It wasn’t their fault, really. Su Xiaoxiao had moved far too quickly. No one had seen her clearly at all. 

There had only been a resounding splash, and then the lake erupted in waves, causing the boat rocking violently. 

If not for Su Xiaoxiao tossing the drowning young man back onto the boat, the others would’ve thought another person had fallen into the water.

Su Xiaoxiao refused the bamboo pole!

Wei Ting certainly hadn’t expected that in the short time it took him to fetch a cloak from the cabin, someone would end up in the lake.

Fortunately, Wei Ting’s unquestionably strong.. 

With a light push of his toes, he skimmed across the surface like a seabird and scooped Su Xiaoxiao up.

The two of them landed on the deck of a nearby pleasure boat.

“Oh no— someone is dying!”

“Young man! Wake up, wake up!”

The kindhearted passengers on the pleasure boat crowded around the youth who had just been pulled from the water.

His face was deathly pale, his eyes shut tight, completely unconscious.

The boat owner quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly sent a worker to fetch a doctor from the clinic.

But the nearest clinic was a kilometer away. 

By the time they went and returned, who knew if they could still make it in time…

The boat owner was really frightened.

If a passenger on his boat died, how could he possibly continue his business in the future?

From the east side, another pleasure boat slowly approached.
