Although Ji Wei was scared, she forced herself to remain calm.
Mo Qian's flight had departed sometime after 4 PM; by now, he was probably nearing Japan. No one had noticed her disappearance, so she had to attempt self-rescue!
Ji Wei searched herself and quickly realized that her phone and wallet were indeed missing.
She tried to steady herself and crawled to the edge of the boat, attempting to paddle with her hands.
The small wooden boat swayed unsteadily. After paddling for what felt like an eternity, Ji Wei had only managed to move about two meters. The lake was enveloped in thick fog, making it impossible to see her direction or tell whether she was paddling toward the shore or deeper into the lake.
Before long, Ji Wei's strength ran out, forcing her to stop.
This wasn't a sustainable solution.
