After being forcibly dragged into the water, Gu Chenxi let out a scream and then, like a koala, wrapped her arms and legs tightly around Kong Liu, clinging to him for dear life.
Fortunately, this was the shallow end where her feet could touch the bottom. If it were the deep end and Gu Chenxi was clinging to him this desperately, Kong Liu wouldn't have been able to swim and would have sunk right along with her.
A little tip:
People who are afraid of water or drowning will instinctively grab onto anything nearby while in the water. Therefore, when you see someone drowning and have no protective gear, never rashly jump into the river to save them. The best solution is to throw floating objects or a tow rope to the person in the water.
