"She's awake, she's awake."
"Just spit out the water, and it's fine. Thank goodness, thank goodness, she's alright."
"Miss Lin wasn't watching where she was walking, how did she end up falling into the pond? She almost dragged Miss Shi down with her."
"Miss Shi is quite foolish too. You can't swim, what were you thinking jumping in to save someone? If it weren't for Scholar Ying and Scholar Qin passing by, both of you could have died!"
"You've survived, but you ought to think about what to do next now. Being held by a man like that, there has to be an explanation," someone added.
"What else can you do? Isn't this perfect? An unmarried man and woman, both talented and beautiful; it's a perfect match, isn't it? They're quite the pair."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people started to join in the teasing.
But someone else whispered, "But I heard Miss Lin likes Scholar Ying, and it was Scholar Qin who saved her."
