Ye Wenyu felt extremely uneasy, as if she were sitting on pins and needles, with a chill running down her back as if a ferocious beast might attack her at any moment. Her original intention of learning to swim vanished. She even felt a bit resentful towards Lin Tingfeng. What was wrong with Lin Tingfeng, who was always so reliable? Why did he bring her to the Lin family mansion to learn to swim? There are so many swimming training institutions outside, couldn't he have just picked one? If she had known he was going to bring her to the Lin family mansion to swim, she definitely wouldn't have come.

well--

Ye Wenyu pondered for a moment, slowly dangling her legs in the water, hesitant to get in. Ripples spread across the icy blue pool before her. It was hot, and she really wanted to cool off in the water, but she felt uneasy, worried that something bad might happen at any moment.

Lin Tingfeng waited in the water for too long. When he saw her wearing the bikini he had bought for her, revealing her long arms and legs, she looked like an elf who had fallen to earth. His heart was gently stirred.

She seemed to be lost in thought, her head raised, her small face tilted upwards, sometimes looking at the deep blue sky, sometimes at the trees around her.

Lin Tingfeng smiled slightly, then quietly slithered under the water like a deep-sea fish, until he reached Ye Wenyu's side. He then reached out, grabbed her small foot with lightning speed, and pulled her forcefully.

"Ah—" Ye Wenyu was caught off guard and was suddenly pulled into the water. She cried out in surprise and realized that she was already in the water. Lin Tingfeng hugged her from behind, gently supporting her body, and said to her tenderly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Ye Wenyu's body bobbed up and down, and she choked on some water. Lin Tingfeng comforted her and told her to relax in the water. Slowly, her little face floated up out of the water, and Lin Tingfeng pulled her in the water, letting her practice moving her arms and legs.

Gradually, Ye Wenyu felt like a fish in the water, experiencing the joy of swimming. She laughed and said to Lin Tingfeng, "Wow, swimming is really fun!"

Lin Tingfeng laughed. Seeing how beautiful and charming she was, he immediately wanted to pamper her. He said to her, "Come on, I'll carry you across."

He swam to her and, like a child, let her lie on his back. Then, like a deep-sea fish, he let her ride on his back and swam quickly to the other side of the pool.

It was incredibly fast, as if it were a real beluga whale.

Ye Wenyu gripped his bare back tightly, but his back in the water was like a big fish, impossible to hold onto. She felt excited and flustered at the same time, shouting happily as she lay on his back, hooking her arms tightly around his neck.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, the evening breeze blew gently, and the water around them shimmered with silver light. Ye Wenyu could only hear her own laughter and screams, as well as the splashing sound of Lin Tingfeng swimming. She was amazed; everything was so beautiful and joyful, it felt like a dream.

Lin Tingfeng carried her on his back and swam back and forth tirelessly many times until Ye Wenyu, worried that he was too tired, said breathlessly, "That's enough, that's enough. I don't have the strength to hold on to you anymore."

Lin Tingfeng stopped and gently circled her in the water, carefully supporting her on the surface to prevent her from sinking. Water droplets dripped from the tips of Ye Wenyu's hair; they were from the pool water she had gotten into while swimming, from her excitement. She smiled, her eyes crinkling as she gazed at Lin Tingfeng. Overjoyed, she leaned over and gave him a deep kiss.

Lin Tingfeng was stunned, a sweet feeling welling up inside him. He smiled gently and then returned her kiss with deep affection.

The two embraced and kissed in the water.

She didn't know how much time had passed. Ye Wenyu was immersed in the wonderful feeling of the kiss when she suddenly heard a soft, cold snort, like a thunderclap. She immediately looked up and saw a white shadow flash by. The bushes not far away seemed like lurking beasts. Accompanied by a rustling sound of wind, she trembled with fear.

Lin Tingfeng hugged her tightly and asked her anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Ye Wenyu nestled into his arms and whispered to him, "Tingfeng, someone was watching us! I'm scared, I want to go home."

Lin Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately became alert. Seeing that she seemed genuinely nervous and not lying, he quickly carried her ashore, changed her clothes, and took her back to their home.

Ye Wenyu remained silent throughout the journey, staring blankly out the car window like a soulless doll. She was certain that someone was spying on them, but she wasn't sure who it was.

The Lin family's old house was indeed a place that terrified her.

It wasn't until they returned to their home that Lin Tingfeng turned on the room light, and the warm orange light, like moonlight, filled the entire room. Only then did Ye Wenyu feel at ease. She composed herself, slowly went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on a white bathrobe, and sat on the sofa in the living room, lost in thought.

The TV was showing her favorite Korean drama, but tonight, because she was preoccupied and frightened, she couldn't watch it anymore.

Who could be the person spying on them?

Lin Tingfeng also came out after taking a shower, wearing a black bathrobe with the collar loosely exposed. He saw Ye Wenyu, who was standing there like a puppet, looking dazed and confused, and couldn't help but worry. Just now at the Lin family's old house, she suddenly became filled with fear and clung to him, saying she wanted to go home. After that, she behaved differently than usual, as if she had really been frightened.

Lin Tingfeng walked to Ye Wenyu's side, reached out and touched her forehead. Fortunately, her temperature was normal; she wasn't sick. He sat down on the sofa next to her and asked her with concern, "Did you really see someone else?"

Even now, he still finds it hard to believe that anyone would be bold enough to offend him.

Ye Wenyu finally pulled her thoughts back from their flight, which had been drifting away like a kite. She turned around to face Lin Tingfeng and nodded gently. The fear in her heart was beyond words.

Lin Tingfeng was stunned. He believed that no one would dare to peep at him while he was swimming in the old Lin family mansion. Today, someone actually dared to peep at his woman while she was swimming. This was simply unbelievable.

Therefore, he slowly asked Ye Wenyu, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Ye Wenyu's face was pale. She shook her head to indicate that she hadn't seen wrong. The night was eerily quiet. The clock on the wall had a long minute hand that moved slowly, and you could hear the "tick-tock" sound. The short hour hand, however, seemed to be asleep, motionless on the clock face.

Lin Tingfeng was taken aback and began to take the matter seriously. He held Ye Wenyu's chin, looked into her eyes, and asked her nervously, "Do you know who it is? Who is spying on you?" His heart was in his throat.

Ye Wenyu's heart raced. She turned her face away from Lin Tingfeng's hand and lowered her head, afraid that the tension in her big eyes would arouse Lin Tingfeng's suspicion. To be honest, although she only saw a white shadow, she was almost certain that it was Lin Tingxuan.
