Lin Gantang carefully stepped into the water, a bit nervous, her pretty face tensed.

Wen Yanqing noticed and came over, extending his hand to lead her, “Afraid of water?”

Lin Gantang gripped his hand tightly, “Mhm.”

“To learn swimming, you can’t fear the water. First, get to know how to be in the water and learn to control your breathing,” Wen Yanqing explained succinctly.

Lin Gantang pursed her lips and nodded.

“I’ll support you — try lifting your feet off the ground to feel the water’s buoyancy,” Wen Yanqing said.

Lin Gantang slowly tried.

But she couldn’t relax to feel it; instead, she only felt her body starting to sink, her heart immediately panicked. And Wen Yanqing in front of her was like a life-saving piece of driftwood; she instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, unwilling to let go.

Wen Yanqing was suddenly embraced fully.

Her body pressed tightly against him, his firm chest filled with the soft touch of her front.

A slight restlessness stirred in Wen Yanqing’s heart.

He steadied Lin Gantang’s waist, comforting her, “Don’t be afraid, the water won’t go over your neck.”

Given the situation, Wen Yanqing decided to help her eliminate her fear. Thus, he did not mention teaching her to swim, instead accompanying her to frolic in the pool, getting her used to being enveloped by water.

With her feet on the bottom of the pool and Wen Yanqing by her side, Lin Gantang gradually relaxed.

She didn’t want to give up, and after a while, she took the initiative to learn how to hold her breath; naturally, Wen Yanqing complied.

Lin Gantang remembered the method Wen Yanqing taught her, steeled her heart, closed her eyes, and submerged her head in the water, trying to hold her breath underwater.

However, at that moment, despite having made sufficient mental preparations beforehand, the fear still hit her fiercely. The suffocating pain in her chest, the feelings of helplessness and panic she once experienced underwater, wrapped around her like a net from heaven and earth.

That dark sea surface, the icy sea water, she slowly sank to the sea floor, losing her life.

The scenes she had once experienced flickered one by one in her mind.

She violently splashed the water and was then forcefully pulled up.

Wen Yanqing held her tight, Lin Gantang’s hair clung to him; her lips were pale, breathing heavily.

There was a fragile beauty.

But Wen Yanqing had no time to appreciate it, his furrowed brow overflowing with concern.

He realized Lin Gantang’s fear of water was deeper than he had imagined.

“Let’s not learn anymore,” Wen Yanqing wrapped his arms around her, “if it scares you.”

There was still a faint trace of fear in Lin Gantang’s eyes as she bit her lip and said softly, “I need to learn. What if I fall into the water and no one saves me?”

A needless pang of pain struck Wen Yanqing’s heart.

He couldn’t pinpoint why it hurt, especially since she was standing right there before him.

He spoke in a gentle tone, “Okay, we’ll learn. We’ll take it slow, no rush.”

Lin Gantang rested on his shoulder, feeling a bit disheartened.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She had thought that learning to swim would be easy, but now she didn’t even dare to let go of Wen Yanqing’s hand, how could she learn?

“You’re too tense, let’s just soak in the water today, take it step by step,” Wen Yanqing suggested, all romantic notions gone, replaced with concern as he asked.

Lin Gantang nodded.

The lesson didn’t go well today, and before long, the two left the pool.

Wen Yanqing picked up a towel from the shore to wipe the droplets from her face, then wrapped it around her, “You go change first, I’ll swim a few more laps.”

Lin Gantang went inside to bathe and change, and when she came back out, she sat on a white lounge chair by the poolside, watching Wen Yanqing glide through the water.

The pool water rippled, his well-defined body appearing and disappearing beneath the surface.

Standing firmly on the shore, Lin Gantang was no longer fearful, propping her chin as she admired him.

The phone beside her rang, over and over, as if urging her to pick it up.
