Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

After the boat sank to the bottom, the water level actually rose more slowly, probably due to the internal air pressure, plus the entrances and exits being blocked by silt from the lakebed.

However, the threat of death remained.

Bai Youwei supported Shen Fei's head, pushing upward with all her strength to keep him in a sitting position, so his head could stay above the water.

She was struggling to hold him up, cursing inwardly, feeling extremely irritable.

She shouldn't have said those things before entering the game.

What "who would you save if they fell in the water," what a load of crap! Now she and Shen Fei couldn't even wait for Shen Mo to rescue them, she had to figure out how to save Shen Fei!

The water level was already up to her neck, and there wasn't a sound outside.

She was a little worried, would that idiot Tan Xiao be able to tell left from right?

She was too rushed when she urged him just now, and didn't have time to tell him which left was which. If only she'd used the cardinal directions to specify the direction back then.

…But could Tan Xiao even distinguish between north, south, east, and west?

Bai Youwei's head throbbed even more when she thought of this.

In his unconsciousness, Shen Fei kept drooping his head, water flooding into his mouth and nose. Bai Youwei had an even harder time holding him up. She had to brace herself to stand up, holding onto the window frame with one hand and grabbing his hair with the other, pulling upward with all her might.

At a time like this, she couldn't worry about being too rough. She was a cripple who couldn't even stand steadily on her own, and now she had to support someone else. Heaven was really being unreasonable!

Bai Youwei was filled with resentment.

Bang!

A muffled sound traveled through the cabin. Startled, she immediately turned her head to look—

The water below was dark, and she could only see murky mud and water outside the window, with a few strands of dark-colored algae drifting by.

The banging didn't stop, but Tan Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

He had undoubtedly smashed the wrong window.

Bai Youwei felt a wave of despair in her heart!

This meant she had to rely on her own strength to drag Shen Fei to the window!

Of course, waiting for Tan Xiao to climb into the cabin himself to find them, and then drag Shen Fei out, wasn't impossible, but once the window was opened, the cabin would immediately be filled with water, and if they were delayed underwater for too long, Shen Fei would drown!

After all, not every player was like them, having eaten the fish brought by the guest from Spring, able to remain safe and sound underwater.

She had to get Shen Fei out as quickly as possible!

Confused and chaotic thoughts filled her brain. Bai Youwei gritted her teeth, enduring her irritable temper, and dragged Shen Fei by the collar toward the opposite cabin.

Moving underwater wasn't easy.

But fortunately, being underwater provided buoyancy, allowing her to barely manage to drag a large man.

She finally reached the passageway and heard a loud "Bang!" The window of the opposite cabin had been broken!

Water surged in violently!

In the torrent, Bai Youwei hurriedly grabbed the doorframe, but Shen Fei was swept away by the current!

Bai Youwei couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!!!"

…

Shen Fei was swept to the end of the passageway by the current, crashing into some miscellaneous objects. His consciousness was muddled, and he couldn't tell what they were.

He only vaguely knew that he was in the water, and it was very cold and dark all around…

Someone grabbed his hand.

He tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see who it was, but he could only see black algae, thin strands, entangled, drifting…

The touch was gentle and cold, real yet dreamlike.

Incredible.

And the suffocation intensified this dizziness…

He reached out and pushed aside the black algae, seeing a pure white dress, light as semi-transparent cicada wings, shimmering as the water rippled. His vision became increasingly blurred.

In the chaos, he was pulled out of the water.

Sunlight stabbed into his eyes.

His lungs burned.

He vaguely heard Shen Mo's voice, Yan Qingwen's voice, all kinds of voices…

Then, he lost consciousness.

…
