Chapter 993

Once again, the activation.

Lin Ye cast a glance at the lake water, and before long, he saw the situation beneath the surface.

A figure was right in the midst of it.

"Qiong,"

Lin Ye did not hesitate at all; he immediately jumped into the water, moving his hands to swim toward the girl's location.

A moment later,

He held the girl with one arm while swimming with the other, dragging her to the shore.

"Qiong, Qiong..."

At this moment, the young girl's face was deathly pale, her eyes tightly shut, as if she had lost all signs of life.

Too late?

No.

"Don't die,"

Lin Ye immediately found the correct position, placed his hands on the girl's chest, adjusted his posture, and began CPR.

Compression,

And compression again.

Afterward, he immediately leaned down and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the girl's lips.

At this moment, Lin Ye had absolutely no thoughts of experiencing the softness of the girl's lips.

Once, twice,

Repeating it over and over.

After the third time,

Finally, accompanied by a 'puchi' sound, the young girl's body reacted; she spat out a mouthful of water, followed by more choking sounds as she coughed continuously.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

To Lin Ye, this sound was like the music of the heavens.

He had made it in time.

He had saved Qiong and brought her back.

If he had been even a few minutes later, it would likely have been beyond saving.

"Hoo..."

Lin Ye slowly exhaled, his right hand patting the young girl's back to help her soothe the extreme discomfort of drowning.

Finally, after a few minutes, Qiong gradually regained her senses; from the extreme cerebral hypoxia and fainting to the slow recovery of her consciousness now,

Her pupils gradually began to see the current situation clearly.

"Big brother..."

Her voice was very soft, yet it was filled with astonishment.

"Is this... heaven?"

Her brain was still very groggy, and her consciousness was not yet sufficiently clear.

In Qiong's view, Lin Ye was already dead, and she was already dead too.

When dead people meet, it should be in heaven; it certainly wouldn't be in hell!

Lin Ye couldn't help but smile; how did this place become heaven?

"This is the human world."

"Eh!"

Qiong let out a sound of confusion.

"You didn't die; you were saved by me, Qiong."

With her brain slowly turning and her ability to think restored, Qiong finally understood the current situation.

"Big brother, big brother..."

She looked up at the man before her.

The memories forgotten in a corner surfaced in an instant.

"Wuwuwuwu..."

Regardless of her own drenched appearance, the silver-haired girl rushed directly into Lin Ye's embrace, hugging him tightly.

The sound of wailing rose, and sobbing continued.

In reality, this was Lin Ye hearing the girl's crying, but Lin Ye was already quite familiar with it.

In the Dungeon World, he had heard the girl's crying more than once.

This sound, while making his heart ache and feel distressed, also left him with many emotions.

Lin Ye stroked the girl's wet hair, finally patting her back gently to alleviate her inner anxiety and agitation.

"I'm here,"

"I'm fine,"

"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's Tutu, I, I didn't stop Tutu..."

Qiong felt extremely guilty; if she had been able to successfully stop the rabbit, it would not have led to Lin Ye falling into the danger of death at all.

Lin Ye spoke gently, "It's alright, it's already over, don't think too much."

"But..."

"Be obedient, the matter is already over, you must not think too much."

Under Lin Ye's semi-forceful request, Qiong nodded slowly.

"Achoo..."

Suddenly, Qiong sneezed twice.

Having stayed in the water for quite some time, the young girl was now drenched all over, and her body was still continuously losing heat.

"Get up, I'll take you back."

Lin Ye was also drenched, but compared to the young girl, his situation was much better.

He didn't feel any coldness at all.

"Eh, I... um."

Kasugano Sora finally nodded and agreed to Lin Ye's request.

A few seconds later,

Lin Ye was walking on the return path, and a cute silver-haired girl was clinging to his back.

Kasugano Sora looked at Lin Ye's profile from time to time, and also observed the passersby from time to time; every time a passerby cast a glance over, she would always shyly lower her head, deeply afraid of seeing that strange look that assumed she and Lin Ye were dating.

Shy, the young girl's shyness was spreading.

Along the way, the two's drenched appearance did indeed attract the attention of many passersby on the street, but no one said much.

A dozen minutes later,

Lin Ye carried the girl back to the Kasugano family's private residence.

Entering the residence, Lin Ye carried the girl directly to the shower room.

"Qiong, you go take a bath first to warm up your body,"

"Um, I, I'll go get clothes first,"

"Alright,"

The young girl's feet touched the ground, but after two steps, she was unsteady and about to fall; Lin Ye reacted in time, striking like lightning to catch the falling girl.

"I'll go get your pajamas for you."

Afterward, he helped the girl to the shower room.

'Hualala...'

Lin Ye turned on the showerhead, and at the same time, the bathtub began to fill with water.

Qiong needed to take a bath to warm up her body.

The little girl was on the side, not making a sound, just looking at Lin Ye from time to time; she also noticed Lin Ye's drenched appearance, and Hirano guessed that Lin Ye must also be very uncomfortable and feeling unwell right now.

"Alright, you take a shower first,"

"Big brother,"

This time,

The tone in which Qiong spoke was very normal,
