Seeing the situation, Wang Yuan also sat down in the boat. When she saw Zhao Nuanyue struggling to stand and pole the boat, a hint of embarrassment crossed her face. She was older and taller than Zhao Nuanyue, yet she wasn't poling; she was letting Zhao Nuanyue do such a dangerous job. So, she picked up the Little Red Carp to keep it from bumping against the gunwale.
Zhao Nuanyue acted as if she hadn't seen a thing, continuing to pole the boat with all her might. Ignoring the fishing nets now, she did everything she could to head for the shore.
Zhao Nuanyue's slender body swayed with the rocking boat. She used nearly all her strength to pole it, and from the exertion, her face flushed red while veins bulged on her forehead and neck. However, the force of nature was too great. Zhao Nuanyue's small frame was no match for it, and after a strong gust of wind, the boat capsized.
