Two teenagers, who admired the same person, jumped into a river in an attempt to test the boy's feelings.
The classmates from a secondary school in Guangan city of Sichuan province believed that the boy would save the person he loved first.
But unexpectedly, the boy Li Xiongzheng – also their classmate - ran away.
Zhang Feng, 14, and Jiang Yun, 16, were on holiday after finishing their junior high school examination.
On Thursday, the girls bumped into each other at the riverbank and had a chat.
And at this juncture, Li showed up.
The girls immediately confronted Li and asked him to choose between them. The boy remained silent.
Zhang Feng then came up with an idea. She suggested that both of them should jump into the river to find out who Li would save first.
Jiang Yun agreed and seconds later, both of them were in the Lingxi river.
Passers-by and two policemen on their rounds, who saw the girls struggling in the water, rescued them.
The boy, who was in fear, ran away.
Realising their mistake, the girls apologised and promised the cops not to repeat the act.
