Freezing to the bone.
Dong Xuebin had suffered terribly today. Having been in the icy water for so long, the needle-like pain piercing his bones was far worse than being shot. But thinking that he had to save that little boy no matter what, that he could not let the boy's mother down, strength filled his entire body.

Only when he saw the boy cover his mouth and cough up water did Dong Xuebin stop using reverse on him and apply it to himself again, desperately swimming back with him.
