Chapter 596: Rescue

Slowly, she became bolder and stopped swimming with the hoop. Gu Shaoting held her hand before her while she splashed the water with her feet.

Not far away, a group of young men and women were frolicking.

They were indeed young, with a hint of sophistication, probably out for leisure.

Among them, several girls were quite good-looking, but the one with the most attractive appearance seemed somewhat absent-minded, frequently glancing toward Shu Pan’s direction.

Of course, she wasn’t looking at Shu Pan but at Gu Shaoting. Such a handsome and patient man was indeed rare.

When the others saw this, they also praised him. “Wow, he’s so handsome.”

More and more people looked over, but Gu Shaoting and the others ignored them.

Indeed, that elegant and aloof demeanor was just captivating, making it hard for people to look away.

“What a combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman,” remarked one of them.

“The girl’s looks are just average,” commented the most beautiful and innocent-looking girl.

“She’s not bad, quite pure-looking, with a gentle demeanor. I reckon men would like that,” remarked her friend beside her.

“Hmph…”

“Let’s go play in the water. Why do you care so much about others?” Her friend pulled her toward deeper waters.

As she was somewhat absent-minded, she stumbled and fell when a wave suddenly crashed over her. The worst part was that her legs cramped up, and the water seemed to engulf her in an instant.

The face of the beautiful girl’s friend turned ashen, screaming desperately, “Help, Snow is drowning!” The surrounding people looked at each other, feeling hesitant because their swimming skills were just average.

Gu Shaoting had also noticed it. He asked Shu Pan to go ashore and then dived into the water.

“Shaoting, be careful.” Shu Pan reminded nervously.

Since Gu Shaoting was nearby, he soon arrived at the scene. Seeing the drowning girl, he swam over, hooking his arm around her upper body and then dragging her toward the shore.

As the rescue was timely, Snow regained consciousness shortly after reaching the shore. After coughing up a few mouthfuls of seawater, she was mostly fine, and nothing was serious.

The moment she opened her eyes and saw Gu Shaoting before her eyes, her lips curled up, and her heart thumped.

“Snow, are you alright? This gentleman has saved you.” Her friend’s voice was trembling from fear.

Snow’s eyes lit up. He was her benefactor!

She struggled to sit up and said gratefully, “Thank you for saving me.”

Seeing that she was alright, Gu Shaoting responded casually, “It’s just a small effort. Remember to pay attention to safety when playing in the water.”

“Shaoting, are you alright? You scared me to death.” Shu Pan felt that her soul had left her body and had yet to return.

Seeing the seawater engulf him had frightened her to the point of feeling weak in the knees.

“I’m fine, silly girl. Don’t you know how good my skills are?” Gu Shaoting comforted her gently. His swimming skills had reached the professional level.

Gu Shaoting put his arm around her shoulder.” Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go back.”

He left after saying that.

“Hey…” Snow wanted to say something, but Gu Shaoting and the others had already walked far away.

“I’m so angry.” Snow stomped her feet. She wanted to ask for his contact information so that she could thank him in the future, but she was interrupted by that woman.

Her friend knew her temper, so she dared not say anything.

“Snow, why don’t we go back as well? We’ll meet again if meant to be, and we can thank him then,” her friend suggested.

Snow thought about it and was no longer in the mood to continue playing. “Let’s go.”
