Chapter 1597 Nearly drowned when I was a child

Gu Nuoer didn't plan to respond to him for the time being.

Let brother Siming wait for a while.

She concentrated on taking care of Zhang Yuanyi in her arms.

Zhang Yuanyi's face was pale, and although she was covered by the boat canopy, she could still feel the rocking of the boat's hull.

She leaned into Gu Nuoer's arms, her body stiff.

"Yuanyi, would you like some water?" Gu Nuoer lowered her long eyelashes and asked in a gentle tone.

Zhang Yuanyi shook her head, her big almond-shaped eyes filled with panic.

Gu Nuoer could see that she was very scared.

Zhang Yuanyi leaned on her shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm afraid of water..."

Gu Nuoer blinked her long eyelashes.

Afraid of water?

She smiled softly, her appearance was stunning.

"Are you afraid because you don't know how to swim?"

Zhang Yuanyi shook her head slightly, her eyes darkened with a hint of panic.

"As a kid... I almost drowned."

When she was four years old, she took a boat trip on the lake.

However, the ship leaked and sank!

Zhang Yuanyi still remembers that the lake water that usually seemed calm on the shore quickly spread over her head.

She kept struggling, but the clothes on her body were very heavy, dragging her to the bottom of the lake!

The water rushed into her mouth and nose, choking her and making her unable to breathe!

At that moment, Zhang Yuanyi felt that someone was holding her throat, and she lost the strength to struggle.

If the accompanying guards had not swam over to rescue her in time, she might have died that summer.

After returning home, Zhang Yuanyi fell seriously ill due to fright.

The Zhang family also became frightened because they almost lost their daughter.

Until she was seven years old, Zhang Yuanyi was raised in a boudoir and could not go out.

The fear of nearly drowning as a child has always haunted her.

When taking a bath, even if you are standing in the tub, two maids should stay with you.

When I see rivers and lakes like this, I always want to stay away from them.

Zhang Yuanyi said in a muffled voice: "Last time I saw Sister Xie falling into the lake, I thought she must be very scared, so I found someone to rescue her."

"But now that I think about it, not everyone is as useless as me. They are so afraid of water that they get scared when they see rivers."

She drooped her little head, completely losing her lively and playful look from the past few days.

"I almost delayed my sister on her way, I'm sorry."

When Gu Nuoer heard what she said, she felt a little distressed.

She held Zhang Yuanyi in her arms like a biological sister.

"Yuanyi, don't say that. There's nothing shameful about being afraid of water. You're just afraid of encountering danger again."

"Each of us has something to be afraid of. For example, I am afraid of..." Gu Nuoer thought for a while and then said: "I am afraid of the howling wolf."

"Like Hu Ni, he is afraid of cocklebur. Just watch if you don't believe me."

After Gu Nuoer finished speaking, she turned her head in the direction of Hu Ni and pretended to be amazed: "Hu Ni, why do you have a cocklebur on your head!"

Hu Niben was leaning against the canopy of the boat and was distracted. Hearing the words, he suddenly jumped up.

"Where is it! Where is it! Help me take it off!"

In the past, when he could not transform into human form, he would run in the woods.

If you're not careful, a few cockleburs will stick to the fox's fur.

It made him feel itchy and prickly every time he lay down.

But at that time, I had no hands and couldn’t reach my back, so I had to lean on the big tree to get down!

Even though he has become a human now, Hu Ni still hates this thing.

Seeing him waving his hands crazily, Gu Nuoer and Zhang Yuanyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Only then did Hu Ni realize that he was being tricked.

"You two teamed up to tease me!"

After being relieved by Gu Nuoer, Zhang Yuanyi's expression softened a little.

The boat continued to move down the current, and the boatman's eyes glanced at Gu Nuoer from time to time.
