He Xuan

(You are Shi Qingxuan)

You insisted on going on the mission together with He Xuan, Hua Cheng, and Xie Lian. However, everything went wrong. You unexpectedly got separated from Hua Cheng and Xie Lian and ended up in the water—so quickly that you didn't even have time to realize the transition from a sweet conversation with Xie Lian to the icy water. He Xuan didn't lose his cool and moved forward, and you followed him.

— Are you sure this is the safest path, He Xuan?

— Yes. Otherwise, we'd have to swim in a coffin, like those two.

— Is it deep here? You wouldn't let it go.

— Enough.

— Are there any dangerous creatures?

— No more dangerous than I am.

— And... You didn't have time to finish before He Xuan interrupted you.

— That's enough. Are you scared or something?

— Of course I'm scared! Why are you even asking! If I get sucked into this abyss, only my hands and feet will be left! And you'll be sobbing: "My poor Qingxuan! Why did I drag him in there?"

— You panic-monger, have you forgotten who you're talking to? I am, for one thing, Black Water. If I want you to sink, you'll sink; if I don't, you won't.

— I actually don't know how to swim!

— Then why did you tag along with me?

— You wouldn't have taken me with you any other way, He Xuan!

— And I wouldn't have... Hold onto me from behind.

— Can I hold on from the front?

— No. How am I supposed to see the way, Shi Qingxuan?

— W-well, alright...

You grabbed onto his shoulders.

— How long do we have to swim? you asked He Xuan.

— About ten minutes.

— Ten minutes?! God, why is this happening to me?!

— Look, if something bites your leg, the main thing is not to struggle, otherwise they'll swallow you whole. He chuckled.

— Aaaaah! You idiot! you whined.

— Don't be afraid. No creature would dare swim near me. Well, is that better now?

— It's cold. And you're cold.

— Well, I am a demon.

— How much longer? You whined again.

— We've only just started.

— He-xiong, I'm scared!

He gave you a peck on the cheek.

— And what else? You switched moods instantly.

— When we arrive, on the shore.

— You're so cruel, He Xuan!

And you swam on.
