It was autumn. The river in the middle of the night was very cold. When she fell into it, Leena seemed to have returned to the nightmare of her childhood.
When she was a child, she went swimming with her brother. Her brother was a lot older than them and was in his teens. He didn't play with them. When he went into the swimming pool, he played alone. When he met a few beautiful girls, he played with them, completely ignoring her and other brothers. So she played with her little brother. Later, when her little brother's ball drifted to the middle of the water, he kept crying. She yelled a few times. At that time, there were not many people in the swimming pool, and few people paid attention to her. She swam there tentatively with a life ring around her waist.
At first, the ball was not far away from them. Leena thought that even if she couldn't swim, she could catch the ball with the life ring on. However, the ball drifted farther and farther because of the water wave. Her brother was young and crying hard, so Leena took the risk of swimming over. She didn't expect that she would fall into the deep water. She struggled for a while, but no one noticed her and she sank.
That memory was Leena's nightmare. It was the first time that she was so close to death. She cried desperately, but she could only drink water. When she opened her eyes, she saw that people were far away from her. She reached out to grab, but she could not catch anything, and the life ring had long been lost. It gave you hope, but you couldn't get it. In the end, you were still going to die. She struggled and struggled until her hands and feet cramped. But no one came to save her. She was desperate, and the sense of suffocation became more and more serious. At last, she finally lost her strength.
The current feeling was very similar to that of the past. The difference was that the river was very cold, and the surroundings were very dark. She could see nothing, and she felt more desperate than before.
Leena had lost her mind. She just felt that she was going to die. She might be dead soon! The only thing that could give her a little strength was that Carlson held her tightly. He had never let her go. He held her waist and they fluctuated with the wave together. However, besides holding her tightly, Carlson did not have any strength, either. The two of them could not emerge from the water for a long time. Instead, they sank deeper and deeper.
Leena also held him like holding a life-saving straw. At last, she had lost all her strength and closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt someone touching her face, lifting her chin, and then putting two soft lips on her lips. Carlson was blowing air into her mouth.
Leena had already been suffocated, but suddenly she felt a little oxygen coming. So she hugged Carlson and breathed the air from his mouth. That breath, with a unique smell, passed into Leena's body, and also imprinted in her heart. At that time, the situation was very chaotic. The only thing she could feel was the breath of Carlson, which was also the most unforgettable memory in her heart. After so many years, the most unforgettable thing occurred to her was the kiss from Carlson.
She didn't know how long she had inhaled. Holding her face in his hands, Carlson gave her his breath for free, but the oxygen was not enough. In the end, Leena fainted. She couldn't remember the rest clearly.
She had always thought that she would die, because she clearly felt that Carlson couldn't swim either. Two people who couldn't swim fell into the water together. The water was so cold and rapid in the late night. Who could save them? But she still saw the sunshine.
Leena was awakened by the light. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the deck. The sun was shining above her head. It was bright and dazzling. Compared with the darkness, the dazzling sunshine was so wonderful. The wind was blowing, and the boat was moving slowly.
She kept looking at the sky until her eyes were stimulated to shed tears. Then she closed her eyes silently. Was she dreaming? How could she see the sun and feel the warm breeze? Was she dreaming or was she still alive?
"Are you awake? "Someone was talking around. Leena opened her eyes again and moved her eyes slightly. She saw that Carlson was sitting next to her and looking down at her.
