Chapter 216 Shen Jin Teaches Yan Yu to Swim

Yan Yu had thought he would be able to take a picture with Shen Jin, but it was ruined by these tomb raiders.

Finally, the photo was taken.

The tomb raiders were still laughing.

Yan Yu could only smile at them, then got up to look at the photos that had been taken.

The photos are actually pretty good, but it would be even better if those random objects could be removed.

Yan Yu looked at the photo, smiled slightly, then picked up the camera and walked over.

At this moment, a bold bird flew to Shen Jin's shoulder. Shen Jin looked at the bird and smiled.

"Is there anything to eat? Let's give it some." Shen Jin looked at the bird for a while, then looked up at Yan Yu.

"Yes, yes, yes," Yan Yu replied quickly.

Then, Yan Yu immediately went to get a piece of bread and fed it to the bird.

Other birds also flew over, but dared not approach Chen Jin, instead circling around him, particularly afraid of people.

"Look, they don't dare to come over and eat," Yan Yu said, looking at the birds that wanted to fly over but didn't dare to.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin looked up at the birds and found that they indeed dared not fly over.

"What should we do then?" Shen Jin asked, looking at the birds.

Yan Yu thought for a moment, then pinched off some breadcrumbs and placed them on a rock.

"Let's walk a little further away and see if they'll come over to eat," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

“Okay.” Shen Jin paused for a moment, then nodded.

Then, the two birds retreated a short distance together, and only the bold bird followed them, while the rest of the birds remained circling in the same spot.

Shen Jin and Yan Yu watched the birds from a distance.

"Why aren't they coming over yet?" Shen Jin asked Yan Yu in a low voice.

"They'll be here soon," Yan Yu replied, then shouted to the tomb raiders, "Get out of the way, don't scare the birds."

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, the tomb raiders who were observing the birds all turned to look.

“You all think we shouldn’t scare them, right? If we scare them, they’ll fly away and then we won’t be able to catch them.” One of the tomb raiders said to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu's brows immediately furrowed.

"Catch them?" Yan Yu asked in confusion.

"Yes, we can catch them and roast them, they'll smell delicious," the tomb raider continued.

Upon receiving this answer, Yan Yu was both amused and exasperated.

"Can you guys please stop eating everything?" Shen Jin said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

“Haha, I’ve never eaten this kind of bird before. I really want to try it and see what it tastes like,” another tomb raider replied.

"Hey, stop eating! Move aside!" Shen Jin waved his hands repeatedly, signaling them to move aside.

After chatting with Shen Jin for a while, the tomb raiders laughed and moved aside. Even after they moved aside, they continued to discuss how to eat the bird and which method to use, which was quite an eyesore.

Shen Jin and Yan Yu ignored their words and focused on watching the birds, waiting to see when they would come over to eat the breadcrumbs.

The tomb raiders had left, and the area was now empty. There was no one there. After a while, a few birds flew over and tried to eat the breadcrumbs.

"Look, it's coming over." Yan Yu said to Shen Jin with a smile when he saw a bird flying over.

Shen Jin looked at the birds and laughed along.

After a few birds tried it, other birds gradually flew over and scrambled to eat the breadcrumbs.

After the birds had tasted the sweetness, they were no longer afraid of Shen Jin and flew over to eat the breadcrumbs. Shen Jin and Yan Yu then fed them the breadcrumbs together.

After feeding all the animals, the group prepared to continue their journey.

"Actually, this place is really beautiful. I'd like to stay a little longer." As they were about to leave the valley, Shen Jin looked back at it and said with emotion.

"Yes, it looks nice, but we can't stay there forever," one of the tomb raiders replied with a smile.

Hearing his words, Shen Jin turned around and smiled.

“That’s true.” Shen Jin replied with a smile.

Yan Yu listened to Shen Jin's words, thought for a long time, and then walked to Shen Jin's side.

"Keep going, there will be even better scenery ahead," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, before Shen Jin could even speak, the other tomb raiders began to agree with him.

“Yes, Yan Yu is absolutely right. There will definitely be places more beautiful than this place in the future,” one of the tomb raiders agreed.

Yan Yu nodded in agreement.

Shen Jin smiled, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The group quickly crossed the valley and continued walking forward. No one seemed to want to stop and rest, as if they would never get tired.

Yan Yu was worried that Shen Jin would get tired, so he offered to carry Shen Jin several times, but Shen Jin refused each time.

Finally, one of the tomb raiders couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't worry, Ah Jin isn't that delicate."

Hearing what the tomb raider said, Yan Yu lowered his head and remained silent.

Shen Jin was also a little embarrassed and didn't want to talk.

"What do you know? Yan Yu is just feeling sorry for him." Another tomb raider immediately spoke up and scolded the tomb raider who had spoken earlier, and even slapped him on the head.

As he spoke, the tomb raider turned to look at Yan Yu: "Right?"

"Hmm," Yan Yu responded softly.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's response, everyone was taken aback. Shen Jin pursed his lips and remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, all the tomb raiders burst into laughter.

Hearing their teasing laughter, Yan Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, while Shen Jin was completely speechless and too lazy to say anything more.

Fearing that Shen Jin would be angry, Yan Yu quickly chatted with the tomb raiders, trying to change the subject: "You guys are so good at climbing mountains and crossing valleys, and you know a lot about wilderness survival. Do you do this kind of thing often? You guys seem really skilled."

Yan Yu felt that these people were like they knew everything, and that they could survive even if they were thrown into the most dangerous environment.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, the tomb raiders all laughed.

"That's right. We used to travel all over the country every day, just like now, but many times it was even more dangerous than it is now," a tomb raider said with a laugh.

Yan Yu blinked and looked at them.

"Are you all like this?" After a while, Yan Yu asked.

He was indeed somewhat curious about these things.

“Actually, some of us used to work in the city, living a monotonous life from nine to six every day. It gets boring after a while,” the tomb raider continued.

Hearing his words, Yan Yu nodded.

He remembered this from before; a tomb raider had told him that not all of them were professional tomb raiders, some had joined later.

"Anyway, we've gotten used to this kind of busy life now, and it feels pretty good. It allows us to have some different experiences."

“Yes.” Yan Yu nodded: “Sometimes it is really exciting. There are some things that I have never seen before. They are very novel and I feel that it is really good.”

Moreover, Shen Jin seemed to enjoy traveling around with them, seeing the scenery in different places.

If he had the chance in the future, he really wanted to travel the world with Chen Jin and see all the beautiful scenery in the world.

"What fun places have you guys been to before?" Yan Yu thought for a moment and then asked again.

Yan Yu was quite interested in where they had gone before.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, the tomb raiders laughed.

"Haha, you and Ah Jin really have a tacit understanding. Ah Jin used to ask us this question too." A tomb raider said to Yan Yu with a smile.

Yan Yu didn't understand why they were laughing at first, but after hearing what they said, he immediately understood.

Yan Yu subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Jin, but Shen Jin immediately looked away when his eyes met Yan Yu's.

"Why are you looking at me? I was just asking out of boredom," Shen Jin said.

Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu withdrew his gaze and said nothing.

"If you're talking about the places we've been to before, there are countless," one of the tomb raiders began to reminisce about the past.

Seeing that they were about to start speaking, Yan Yu quickly turned his gaze to them, ready to listen carefully to what they had to say next.

"The one that left the deepest impression on me was in a large desert in Africa. We were crossing the desert when we encountered a storm," the tomb raider continued.

Upon hearing the word "storm," Yan Yu listened even more attentively.

"Back then, it seemed like we were all blown away." The tomb raider thought back on the past and recalled.

"Did you find it later?" Yan Yu asked hurriedly.

After asking the question, Yan Yu felt that it was somewhat redundant. If they hadn't found it, how did they end up here together?

"Haha, then we must have found it, after all, we're so in sync." Another tomb raider ran over and hooked his arm around the first tomb raider's shoulder.

Yan Yu listened to their words and found them truly amazing.

They had really been through a lot before, and none of those were things he had ever experienced before.

Afterwards, the tomb raiders kept telling Yan Yu about their past experiences, and Yan Yu listened attentively, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Yan Yu listened for a long time and learned that they had been to many places, including many dangerous ones. Compared to those places, this place was nothing.

"Hahaha, doesn't that sound tempting? Do you want to go?" Finally, one of the tomb raiders asked Yan Yu with a laugh.

Yan Yu was indeed engrossed in listening and smiled.

"I'd like to go, but it's very dangerous, isn't it?" Yan Yu replied with a smile.

"What does it matter? We're here. We'll take you there later. With us around, there won't be any danger," the tomb raider replied with a smile.

As he spoke, he patted his chest, looking confident and assured.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Yu simply chuckled faintly.

He really didn't know what the future held, nor did he know what his plans were.

No matter what, he was determined to be with Shen Jin from now on. Even if Shen Jin didn't want to forgive him anymore, he would shamelessly pester Shen Jin.

“Ah Jin would definitely enjoy going out with us too.” The tomb raider looked at Chen Jin again and said, “Food.”

Upon hearing his question, Yan Yu also turned to look at Shen Jin.

Shen Jin smiled and replied, "Yes, it's very interesting to be with you guys."

Yan Yu stared intently at Shen Jin with his dark eyes, then smiled as well.

No matter what Shen Jin wants to do in the future, he will definitely be there for him.

The tomb raiders smiled and continued walking forward. Yan Yu stayed by Shen Jin's side without saying a word, just keeping him company.

Before long, everyone saw a waterfall, which was very spectacular, with large swathes of white water coming into view.

Looking at the waterfall in front of him, Yan Yu was completely stunned.

"Wow, this waterfall is amazing!" A tomb raider rushed forward and pointed at the waterfall, exclaiming.

Shen Jin smiled and took a few photos with his camera.

He had never seen such a magnificent waterfall before. Now that he saw it, he suddenly recalled the poems about waterfalls written by the ancients, and felt that they were so vivid.

"This island really has everything," Shen Jin remarked as he took photos.

This island really gave him a lot of surprises.

After taking a few pictures of the waterfall, Shen Jin took the camera down and handed it to Yan Yu. Yan Yu took the camera, completely bewildered, not understanding what Shen Jin meant.

"Take a picture of me here to prove I was here," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu immediately realized what was happening.

"Okay, okay," Yan Yu nodded in response.

After handing the camera to Yan Yu, Shen Jin stepped back a little and made a peace sign with the waterfall as a backdrop.

Even though it was just a simple peace sign, Yan Yu still thought Shen Jin looked exceptionally good on camera. Looking at Shen Jin, Yan Yu couldn't help but smile slightly.

Just as he was about to press the shutter, a tomb raider suddenly snatched the camera from Yan Yu's hand, and Yan Yu was stunned for a moment.

"I'll help you with the fear." The tomb raider chuckled, holding a camera.

With that, the tomb raider pushed Yan Yu directly toward Shen Jin: "Go over there."

Yan Yu was pushed and steadied himself. He then turned around and looked at the tomb raider with a bewildered expression.

The tomb raider kept winking at Yan Yu, signaling him to go over and take a picture with Shen Jin.

Seeing the tomb raider's expression, Yan Yu immediately understood and quickly walked over to Shen Jin, standing next to him: "Um, can I take a picture with you?"

Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, and immediately became so nervous that he dared not speak.

"Go ahead and take the picture." Shen Jin quickly looked away from the camera and did not refuse Yan Yu.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately laughed happily, and the tomb raider also smiled.

While Yan Yu was smiling as he looked at Chen Jin, the tomb raider quickly snapped a photo, which turned out to be surprisingly warm and harmonious.

"Alright, alright, you two, move closer. The camera is only so big, how can it fit two people?" The tomb raider, intending to bring the two together, shouted at them.

Shen Jin remained standing in place without any remorse. After hesitating for a while, Yan Yu slowly approached Shen Jin, who did not say anything.

"No, no, it still can't fit. Get closer, Ah Jin, come closer, quick." The tomb raider looked at the lens, which was big enough, and continued to lie through his teeth.

Although Shen Jin was unwilling, he had no choice but to move closer to Yan Yu since he had already been called out by the tomb raiders.

Seeing Shen Jin approaching, Yan Yu immediately became extremely nervous.

The tomb raider then smiled and took several photos of the two of them.

After the shoot, Shen Jin showed no interest in the photos, but Yan Yu held the camera and looked at them over and over, looking very happy.

Now he finally has a photo with the forest.

While everyone else was admiring the waterfall, Yan Yu was looking at the photos.

At this moment, one of the tomb raiders suggested, "The water here is so nice, why don't we go down and take a bath? We can also play in the water."

Everyone agreed with his suggestion.

After they were about to get into the water, someone asked, "What about Yan Yu? He can't swim."

As the last syllable of those words faded, everyone turned to look at Yan Yu, who immediately felt embarrassed.

Everyone knows he can't swim, but he kept it a secret for so long.

Shen Jin turned to look at Yan Yu, then said, "Then you can stay on the shore."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately became displeased.

Everyone can go down and play with Shen Jin, but he can only watch from the shore. This won't do, absolutely won't do.

“I want to go down too,” Yan Yu said.

“But you can’t swim,” Shen Jin replied directly.

"Then teach me, you said you'd teach me to swim last time," Yan Yu replied to Shen Jin without hesitation.

If he learns to swim, he can accompany Shen Jin whenever Shen Jin wants to go into the water. Otherwise, Shen Jin always goes into the water with others, and he can only watch from the shore.

Moreover, Shen Jin would often tease him about this, and most importantly, he wanted to hang out with Shen Jin.

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin felt somewhat helpless, but did not refuse: "Then come down with me."

Yan Yu nodded vigorously in response and followed Shen Jin.

The tomb raiders were all surprised to see that Shen Jin had actually agreed to teach Yan Yu how to swim.

They had initially thought that Shen Jin wouldn't be able to teach Yan Yu and were even prepared to offer to teach him themselves. However, now that they knew Shen Jin would be with him, they no longer needed to worry about Yan Yu drowning, since Shen Jin's skills were so good.

The group arrived at the foot of the waterfall, and Shen Jin led Yan Yu to a distance away from the waterfall.

“It’s relatively safe here, so let’s study here,” Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.

"Okay." Yan Yu nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go down," Shen Jin continued.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu hesitated, unsure whether he should go down.

The water here looks quite deep. Although Chen Jin is there and he won't be in any trouble, it would be very embarrassing if he sank as soon as he went in.

"Huh? Should we go down now?" Yan Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"How can you learn if you don't go down there?" Shen Jin was speechless.

Yan Yu scratched his head awkwardly.

"Then..." Yan Yu started to say something.

Shen Jin saw through Yan Yu's thoughts and said directly, "Don't worry, the water here isn't deep."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu felt immediately embarrassed.

"Then I'll go down," Yan Yu said quickly.

After saying that, Yan Yu quickly went into the water. The water was not very deep, but it still reached his chest. Once in the water, Yan Yu was afraid to move around, fearing that he would drown.

Shen Jin also went into the water and came to Yan Yu's side.

"Let's swim down and see?" Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.

"Huh? But I don't know how to swim." Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu suddenly became a little nervous.

He had no idea how to swim; at most, he would just thrash around wildly, and in that situation, he would almost always drown.

"Relax your body, let yourself float, and then swing your arms and legs rhythmically, understand?" Shen Jin patiently explained to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu hesitated for a while, then gently shook his head.

He genuinely didn't understand.

Seeing Yan Yu shake his head, Shen Jin felt helpless. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Yan Yu was incredibly stupid, completely hopeless. He had explained it so clearly, yet Yan Yu still couldn't understand.

“Then I’ll demonstrate for you, and you can watch carefully,” Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu nodded in agreement.

So, Shen Jin swam around in the water to demonstrate for Yan Yu.

"Did you see it clearly?" Shen Jin stopped, returned to Yan Yu's side, and asked.

"Yes, I understand." Yan Yu nodded in response.

Shen Jin nodded: "Then you give it a try."

Yan Yu hurriedly responded and carefully tried to make his body float. Then, imitating Chen Jin, he splashed water a couple of times with his hands.

After swimming for less than two seconds, Yan Yu sank to the bottom.

"Ugh!" Yan Yu exclaimed in surprise and took a big gulp of water.

Just as he choked on his breath, Yan Yu was immediately lifted up and steadied himself.

This feeling gave him a lot of security. Shen Jin was right beside him, which made him feel especially at ease. He had just sunk down when Shen Jin immediately rescued him. This feeling was really great.

"You were a little uncoordinated just now. Don't panic, take it slow, and try again," Shen Jin said, helping Yan Yu regain his balance.

Seeing Shen Lin's patient demeanor, Yan Yu couldn't help but smile, feeling particularly happy inside.

"Okay." Yan Yu nodded in response.

Yan Yu then tried again, and this time it sank again.

This time, Shen Jin seemed to have known that Yan Yu would sink, and before Yan Yu could even choke on his own water, he had already lifted Yan Yu up.

"Your method was wrong again. Did you even look carefully?" Shen Jin asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu immediately tensed up.

"I read it carefully," Yan Yu replied quickly.

He had indeed studied it carefully, but he just couldn't learn it. Yan Yu didn't know what to do. He felt as if his limbs were completely out of coordination.

“Then I’ll demonstrate it for you again. See if there’s any difference between what you did and what I did,” Shen Jin said.

Yan Yu nodded quickly: "Okay, I will definitely watch it carefully this time."
