...
August, the weather ferociously hot, the air teeming with a simmering warmth that muddled the mind.
During the lunch break, Xia Jinyun and her colleagues left the hospital to buy a cup of slushie nearby to beat the heat.
After the purchase, just as she stepped out of the store, she saw a fire truck parked by the roadside.
Fu Yi's firefighter uniform was too conspicuous.
Unable to resist, Xia Jinyun approached, but by then Fu Yi had already stripped off his gear and leaped into the lake.
Her colleague exclaimed in astonishment, "Someone's drowning."
In the lake's center, one big and one small struggled desperately in the water.
Xia Jinyun had been working at the hospital for a while, had witnessed life and death, yet she couldn't help but hold her breath.
In a matter of life and death, who could stand by and watch a life ebb away?
