My Dear Baobao

About a month ago,David Blaine failed in bid to hold breath for more than 8:58, which is the current world record. He have held breath for more than seven minutes, however, which is also a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for ordinary people like us.
Recently, my girlfriend, who I call Baobao, found herself good at breath holding. For weeks, we went to swim pool almost everday. Swimming skill was so difficult for her that she gave up this sport finally and focused on her breath-holding show.
Yesterday she asked me to count time when she held her breath,with her body underwater and hair floating on water. She had told me that she could last one minute at least, I didn't believed it for I can't hold my breath for more than 40 seconds.
But she did it, 60 seconds passed and she was still underwater without any guesture suggesting an end. People aroud noticed her and stopped to watch her.
I got excited and ten seconds later, I shouted to her:"1 minutes and 10 seconds." She didn't response, and her hair was floating on the water.
I continued to count, and another 10 seconds passed, nothing new, not even a single bubble.
When it reached 1 minute and 30 seconds, there was no bubble yet, and Baobao had kept the same posture for 1:30. I felt a little upset, I asked her
"Hey?"
No answer.
"Hey, are you okay?"
No answer either.
I decided to pull her out, she refused, but I insisted, she gave up and I told her"You have held your breath for 1 minute and 40 seconds,man."
