Afternoon
Swimming Class
Each class is equipped with four professional swimming coaches, and the homeroom teacher provides accompaniment.
After the homeroom teacher finished taking attendance, everyone boarded the school campus bus and headed towards the swimming pool.
"Do you all know how to swim?"
On the bus, Su Cheng asked Wang Guancong who was sitting next to him.
"Yes, I learned it a long time ago," Wang Guancong replied, suddenly feeling puzzled, then realizing something and quickly added, "You don't know how to swim, do you?"
He remembered that Su Cheng had passed the entrance exam, and there were no such high-end classes like swimming outside.
"Of course I know how to swim, how could someone from the countryside not know how to swim?"
Su Cheng shook his head. Climbing mountains and swimming in rivers were things he often did as a child.
He mainly wanted to ask about the process of this swimming class.
This was his first time attending one.
"Actually... I don't know how to swim,"
However, Gao Ye next to him timidly spoke up, his expression extremely awkward.
Su Cheng was surprised upon hearing this. He remembered that Gao Ye was a direct admission student, having studied at Flame City Private Academy since childhood.
Fortunately, Wang Guancong seemed to understand Su Cheng's confusion and explained, "This guy has been afraid of water since he was a kid. He always found excuses not to attend swimming classes before."
"I see."
Su Cheng nodded. Now that swimming was an advantage in high school, Gao Ye had no choice but to reluctantly attend this time.
"Um... Su Cheng, could I ask you for a favor?"
Gao Ye said with difficulty, his eyes flickering, as if he had some unspeakable request.
"What is it?"
Su Cheng looked at him, curious.
"It's just that during class, students like me who don't know how to swim will be trained separately by the coach. If I'm trained alone, it's a bit..."
As Gao Ye spoke, his face turned even redder.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll train with you later."
After hearing Gao Ye's words, Su Cheng quickly agreed.
Gao Ye's meaning was very clear: being alone was embarrassing, but being with someone else made it less so.
Su Cheng was actually quite good at swimming; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to save someone from drowning.
"Why do you have to drag Su Cheng into this?"
Wang Guancong, who was listening, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"It's fine."
Su Cheng waved his hand.
"You're really helping me out a lot."
Hearing Wang Guancong's words, Gao Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, then thanked Su Cheng again.
"Alright, then the three of us will do it together."
Wang Guancong finally decided to accompany Gao Ye to swim.
When the bus arrived at the swimming pool entrance, everyone filed in.
It's worth mentioning that boys and girls were separated for the class.
It was a bit of a pity, though, as they couldn't see the class beauties in swimsuits.
I wonder what Li Guanqi, the emotionless beauty, would look like in a swimsuit?
Soon after warming up, the three of them were pulled by the coach to a special pool to get familiar with the water.
"Splash splash~"
"Huh?"
Just as Su Cheng entered the swimming pool, he heard someone playing with the water next to him. Turning his head, his pupils suddenly contracted!
In the pool next to him, a graceful figure was sitting there, kicking the water with her feet. Her posture looked quite cute. As he turned his head, her movements also stopped abruptly, and she stared straight at Su Cheng.
Su Cheng swallowed hard, staring stupidly at this figure!
The girl was wearing a conservative low-cut swimsuit, her chest bulging, and her lower body wrapped in a tight one-piece, revealing a stretch of snow-white, long legs.
Her originally long, straight black hair was tucked into a swim cap, and she had swimming goggles hanging on her head, but they couldn't hide her exquisite features.
Her face was as delicate as a work of art, with a high nose bridge, pink lips slightly curled up, and big, bright eyes that seemed like a pool of autumn water.
Her face was still expressionless, but her gaze kept scanning Su Cheng, eventually resting on his abdomen.
This was none other than Li Guanqi.
"Don't think you can sneak over here just because you have a low presence!"
Su Cheng felt a surge of shame in his heart. After all, being so boldly observed by a beautiful girl was quite embarrassing!
But Li Guanqi showed no intention of avoiding it, still staring at Su Cheng's abdomen.
Gao Ye, seeing this, curiously leaned over, following Su Cheng's gaze, only to find nothing, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Su Cheng quickly came to his senses and turned his head to look at the deep end of the pool, no longer daring to look at Li Guanqi.
Because this was a swimsuit beauty that only he could discover.
"Look over there."
Suddenly, Wang Guancong pointed to a few figures not far away, and Su Cheng also turned to look.
Two female classmates were being taught by a female coach.
Su Cheng wasn't familiar with these two female classmates.
However, these two women occasionally glanced at her.
And they even whispered to each other.
Seeing this, Su Cheng's face darkened, but he also understood.
It turned out that students who couldn't swim, regardless of gender, would be in the same pool. No wonder he saw Li Guanqi.
Hmm, probably Li Guanqi couldn't swim.
"Don't think you can escape the coach and sit here resting just because you have a low presence!"
Su Cheng's heart was full of complaints.
Just now, Li Guanqi deliberately made a sound to get his attention.
Now that he had noticed her, she sat silently with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Alright, alright, look over here!"
Suddenly, the coach called out.
This made the three of them withdraw their gaze, refocusing on the coach.
“Come on, first get into the water, and I'll teach you how to hold your breath.”
The coach clapped his hands.
"Huh?"
"What?"
“Are you suffocating?”
The three of them showed shocked expressions.
I said it wrong, it's "holding one's breath."
Seeing their reactions, the coach couldn't help but laugh and scratched the back of his head to explain.
"Oh, oh, oh~ so it's holding one's breath!"
Su Cheng immediately understood.
"No, my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable."
However, Gao Ye looked terrified, clutching his stomach and said painfully.
"You little rascal, still pretending, huh? I've had a very deep impression of you since before!"
The coach directly came to Gao Ye's side and pressed down on his shoulder.
"No, coach, I really have a stomachache. I need to go to the bathroom first!"
Gao Ye quickly explained.
"Your homeroom teacher specifically told me to give you special attention!"
After saying that, the coach turned to look at Su Cheng and Wang Guancong: "You two are here to accompany him, right?"
The two nodded but didn't speak.
You two can move freely, I'll train this kid alone.
After saying that, the coach dragged Gao Ye towards the edge of the pool.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Gao Ye's face immediately turned ugly. He struggled but couldn't break free, eventually being pushed into the water.
He flailed in the water, choking and unable to catch his breath, helplessly crying for help: "Help! Someone, please help me!"
He desperately slapped the surface of the water, hoping someone would notice.
"?"
Su Cheng and Wang Guancong saw this scene and were immediately stunned. The water depth was only at the waist.
"Su Cheng, Wang Guancong, help!"
Gao Ye immediately shouted loudly.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."
Su Cheng was startled by his shout and then said, "Um, you can try standing up."
A few girls in the distance were stunned and then covered their mouths, giggling.
Finally, the coach got into the water and helped him stand up: "You little coward!"
"My god, this water is too deep!"
After standing up, Gao Ye also felt a bit embarrassed. He looked around with a sense of grievance.
The two of them exchanged glances and decided to just play by themselves. So they ignored Gao Ye's complaints and turned to prepare for swimming. Su Cheng subconsciously glanced around.
He found that Li Guanqi was gone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he jumped into the water and swam underwater for a while. Just as he was about to surface for air, he found someone else diving next to him.
Hmm, it was Wang Guancong.
Then, after snorkeling for a while, the two of them reached the edge of the pool, touched the bottom, and then jumped up to turn around, continuing to return.
Those around them were doing the same.
"You're really amazing!"
Su Cheng surfaced first, and his first words were to praise Wang Guancong.
But he was still not as good as him.
After all, his six stamina wasn't for show!
However, the next second, he was stunned.
The person who surfaced wasn't Wang Guancong; he was actually nearby using the dog paddle to play in the water.
The person who surfaced was Li Guanqi!
She stood beside him like a blooming lotus, water droplets falling on her, making her swimsuit accentuate her graceful curves even more.
At this moment, the two of them were incredibly close, close enough for her to clearly see Li Guanqi's beautiful eyes, the thick lashes beneath them, and the dark pupils within. Water droplets trickled down his face, falling onto his eyes, causing his eyelashes to quiver slightly.
What made it even more intense was the intertwining of their breaths, their eyes locked, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.
