Weilan took a deep breath again, small beads of sweat on her delicate nose, which made her appear to be enduring great hardship.

Lu Hechen looked at Weilan with a touched expression, a trace of admiration in his eyes as he gripped her hand tightly.
Weilan's eyes were glistening as she said, "Even if the ship capsizes, I want to rescue everyone on board, to prevent them from falling into water, but never letting them drown. That's what we need to do. Brother Hechen, you must help me with this."
