"Wasn't it supposed to be a class reunion? Why are we here?" Su Jin unconsciously moved closer to Zheng Lin, afraid of accidentally slipping into the water.
She was terrified of water.
The feeling of suffocation after falling into the sea is something she will never forget.
Now, in the middle of the night, I often dream of falling into the sea and dying. Sometimes when I look up at the starry sky, I feel like I'm about to lose weight and fall.
Zheng Lin saw that her legs were a little weak, so he reached out to support her. "I didn't know they changed the party plans at the last minute. If you don't want to..."
He looked up and said, "Once you've changed into your swimsuit, let's go to the restaurant upstairs. I think you must be hungry, so let's grab something to eat first."
Su Jin obediently hummed in agreement twice.
It was rare to see Su Jin not arguing with him. Zheng Lin held her hand tightly, escorted her to the door of the room, and then let go.
"Should I wait for you here?" Zheng Lin asked, leaning against the wall.
Inside the room, Su Jin was changing into a swimsuit. "No need, you go catch up with your old classmates. I'll ask Lei Lei to come and keep me company."
She said she had already called Leilei.
A short while later, Song Leilei, who had changed into her swimsuit, came to knock on the door. Zheng Lin had just left when she arrived.
"Xiao Jin, I'm here," Song Leilei said.
By the pool, the young master of the Liu family was drinking champagne with several old classmates.
"Were those two brought by Xu Jingzhi?"
"Of course, Young Master Zheng is used to being alone. Whenever a woman appears by his side, it's always Xu Jingzhi who brings her."
"Xu Jingzhi really caused me a lot of trouble back then."
"Then let's strike while he's unaware."
A group of men with unhealthy minds got together and talked about everything they should and shouldn't have, even discussing how they could take advantage of the situation.
Accompanied by Song Leilei, Su Jin walked around the pool, hugging the wall, and went straight up the steps.
Zheng Lin was catching up with Xu Jingzhi, but his eyes kept glancing at the restaurant above.
"I still remember that time, we threw firecrackers into Liu Man's pocket and blew him into the hospital. My mom dragged me to the hospital to apologize to him. I immediately knelt down." Xu Jingzhi also lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Zheng Lin: "That was you. Ever since that incident, I've felt that you've been too impulsive."
Xu Jingzhi: "We can't just not get revenge, can we? That Liu Man not only had people beat me up, but he also made you miss your exam. You can tolerate this, but I can't."
They were close friends in college, but later got into a fight because of a disagreement and lost contact with each other.
Xu Jingzhi felt a pang of sadness as she recalled these events.
My old brothers are probably not coming back.
Xu Jingzhi is impulsive and reckless, but Zheng Lin thinks things through more deeply.
Xu Jingzhi had no idea what Zheng Lin had done to Liu Man later.
“I couldn’t stand it either.” Zheng Lin smiled at Xu Jingzhi and flicked his cigarette ash. “That’s why the Liu family almost went bankrupt later.”
Xu Jingzhi almost dropped the cigarette he was holding in his mouth. "...What do you mean by this? You weren't the one who framed the Liu family back then? I heard that the Liu family's important confidential information fell into the hands of the enemy overnight. I even admired that unsung hero for a time."
Zheng Lin fell silent, staring only at the restaurant above.
Xu Jingzhi flicked away the cigarette butt and looked up as well.
"Then why did you come here today?" Zheng Lin withdrew his gaze. "Aren't you afraid of Liu Man's revenge?"
"I'm scared, but my family can handle me. I'm here because I have things to do. If I don't like him later, I'll give him a few more firecrackers."
Zheng Lin smiled without saying a word, sensing that things weren't that simple.
In the restaurant, Su Jin looked at the dishes, shook her head, and pinched the fat on her stomach. "I've gained weight recently. If I eat any more, I'll turn into a pig."
Looking at Su Jin's figure, which was just right, Song Leilei said, "Sister, you're not fat. Don't be like Versailles."
"You forgot, the second round of auditions is coming up soon. If you're overweight, you won't look good on camera at all, which will be a big disadvantage."
"That's what they say, but people need to eat. Last time we had a light meal, I got hungry very quickly, and I get anxious when I'm hungry." Song Leilei complained, pouting, "Guess what happened when I got back? I ate a midnight snack at two o'clock in the morning."
That sounds really awful. What was supposed to be a day for losing weight has turned into a day for gaining weight.
Su Jin remained steadfast in her resolve, ordering only a salad and watching Song Leilei devour meat.
Seeing a girl eat so much for the first time, Su Jin was a little worried about Song Leilei's future in the entertainment industry. "Leilei, take it easy. How about I take you to the gym later?"
This place has a poolside water party area, as well as restaurants and a gym. However, most people just stay by the pool below, having fun with friends, and very few people come to this kind of place to work out.
Upon hearing about exercise, Song Leilei immediately ate two more bites of meat. With the meat still in her mouth, she mumbled, "No, I want to go swimming. Swimming can help you lose weight!"
Su Jin: "......"
Swimming is a nightmare.
Although Su Jin was afraid, she still risked her life to accompany her sister. After they finished eating, the two went to the poolside.
Su Jin made the biggest concession, putting on a swimming ring and pointing to the one-meter-wide pool, saying, "Let's go swimming in there."
Song Leilei looked at her sisters, all fully armed, and was speechless for a moment, "..."
Despite the one-meter-wide pool, Su Jin still found it difficult to move. Three minutes later, her feet were still tentatively touching the ground.
Song Leilei, who was already submerged in the water, called out to her, "Ling, hurry up, then you won't be afraid. The more you hesitate, the more afraid you will be."
"That's true." Su Jin was in a dilemma, so she could only slowly squat down, touch the ground with her hands, and test the water little by little with her toes.
Five minutes later, her legs went numb from squatting, so she sat down on the ground and shook her head frantically, "No, sister, I can't keep you company. Why don't you play by yourself?"
Su Jin was completely unaware that someone was approaching from behind. By the time she realized it, several men had already surrounded her.
Young Master Liu jumped into the water with a splash and then grabbed Su Jin's wrist, saying, "Brother will teach you how to swim."
"Need not."
Su Jin rejected him, but he still dragged her along.
The ground was slippery from the wetness, and being dragged along by a fat, big-eared man, I had absolutely no strength to resist.
Seeing this, Song Leilei, who was swimming on her back, swam over while shouting, "Let go of me! -- Xu Jingzhi!! Xu Jingzhi!!!"
Xu Jingzhi looked towards the source of the sound upon hearing it and exclaimed, "Haha, Song Leilei, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Zheng Lin's gaze also fell upon the swimming pool. Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and he ran over.
Xu Jingzhi was completely bewildered. Song Leilei was calling him. What was Zheng Lin running off to, and why was he running so fast?
He had never seen Zheng Lin run so fast. In his memory, Zheng Lin was always very calm, the kind of person who would remain calm even if his house was on fire.
This is......
He finally saw where Song Leilei was swimming, let out a shout, and ran over.
