"GLUG GLUG GLUG..."
"Let—!"
"...GLUG GLUG GLUG..."
After a few times, he learned his lesson. He clamped his mouth shut, doing his best to stay afloat on the surface and snatching quick breaths whenever he got the chance.

Thinking he was about to be shoved underwater again, Lin Chen instinctively took a deep breath to hold it. The next moment, his vision went dark, and his cheek pressed against something incredibly soft.
Before he could even react, the pressure on his head lightened. His Hat Lamp had been knocked off by the struggling Erica.

Sensing something was off, Lin Chen slowly calmed down, but he could feel that the arms holding his head had no intention of letting go. They were still pressing his head forward.
'Holy shit?'
'Wait, this girl's collar zipper...?'

Back on the bamboo raft, Lin Chen and Erica sat facing each other.
