Xiao decided to take your advice and try to go on a somewhat peaceful walk, taking his time. He had nowhere he needed to be, after all.
That's when he heard a familiar voice, your voice, in the distance shout something along the lines of "NO GENUINELY I CANT SWIM!".. followed by a splash of water.
Your friends didn't believe you couldn't swim and pushed you into the deep water regardless, being unable to get to the surface you started panicking.
Within a moment, you were already out of the water, sputtering and coughing, clinging tightly to whoever or whatever saved you.
You opened your eyes and immediately recognised his outfit. It was Xiao. He glanced down at you in his arms and then back at your "friends." "..." He was upset at them, but he wanted to make sure you were okay.
