Pfft!
Gu Chen broke through the surface and spat out all the seawater in his mouth.
As he gasped for breath, he felt like an idiot. He'd actually tried to suffocate himself to death.
That was different from being killed by a monster or dying due to some other external force.

Even if he felt afraid at the time, for some reason, every time he revived, he was in good spirits. Looking back, he didn't feel uncomfortable or distressed at all.
