Chapter 39 Drowning's thoughts are purely evil, even perverted. ...
Qin Man looked up and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go back."
Jiang Xuchi liked to tease and flirt with her, but he never said he liked her.
Qin Man was absolutely fed up.
The only advantage of staying at Jiang Xuchi's house is safety.
The only downside is that the house is too big, and each room has its own bathroom, so once you go into a room you don't have to come out, so the two of them rarely see each other.
Although they live under the same roof, it feels like they're avoiding each other.
Qin Man lay listlessly on the sofa in the living room, looking out at the moon through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Qin Man pushed off with her foot, leaning back on the sofa. She looked up and saw Jiang Xuchi just coming out of the bathroom.
His hair was dripping wet, he was wrapped in a bath towel, and a towel was draped around his neck.
"His physique is top-notch," Qin Man wondered. "Does he maintain a regular fitness routine to have abs and smooth muscle definition?"
Compared to her, she was soft and lacked any sense of strength or beauty.
"What are you thinking about after staring at it for so long?" Jiang Xuchi asked.
"..." Qin Man came back to her senses, "You just went swimming?"
"Um."
"I want to swim too."
"It's on the rooftop. You can order swimsuits from them." Jiang Xuchi said, drying his hair, before turning to leave.
Qin Man wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by. "I have a swimsuit, but I can't swim. Can you teach me?"
"Dancing during the day and swimming at night, aren't you tired?" Jiang Xuchi couldn't help but tease Qin Man, seeing her proactive attitude. "What are the benefits of me teaching you?"
"I was lured here by you, and I'm incredibly bored." Qin Man reached out and pulled the towel off his neck, pointed to the bath towel wrapped around his waist, and said, "Find me something to do, or I'll reach out and pull this."
Jiang Xuchi reached out and pinched her chin. She was lying on the sofa, looking up at him. His hand, which was pinching her chin, easily gripped her throat.
"Threatening me with something like this, they have some nerve."
Qin Man looked up. "Will you teach me or not?"
"teach."
Qin Man changed into her swimsuit and went to the rooftop outdoor pool.
She bought the swimsuit for taking photos and only wore it once. It had a waist tie that accentuated her elegant figure.
However, the outdoor pool was dimly lit, which prevented her from showing off herself and also made it impossible to see Jiang Xuchi's stunning muscles.
That was a miscalculation.
How deep is the water?
"It's 1.5 meters here, and 2.1 meters over there."
"It's so deep, you could drown me if you were over there." Qin Man sat on the edge of the pool and splashed water onto her chest.
She had two swimming lessons when she was little, and the coach told her to splash water first to get her body used to it.
But the water was too cold, and she splashed it for a long time but refused to go in.
"You're only 1.5 meters tall, you won't drown."
As Jiang Xuchi finished speaking, Qin Man felt a tremendous force behind her and was suddenly pushed into the water.
She screamed in fright, choked on water, and became increasingly panicked, flailing her arms and legs wildly, feeling as if her body was about to sink.
thump--
She saw Jiang Xuchi jump down.
Qin Man quickly hugged Jiang Xuchi's shoulders, but he lifted her up by her bottom with both hands, like he was holding a child, with half of her body exposed.
Phew, we're safe now.
"I already said you're 1.5 meters tall, so just stand firmly on your two feet, right?"
Jiang Xuchi was still laughing at her.
Qin Man was so angry that she hit him on the back several times until her hand hurt, and said, "I can't swim! People who can't swim will drown no matter how shallow the water is!"
Jiang Xuchi kept provoking her: "Teaching you to swim is the fastest way. Otherwise, would I have to coax you into the water like a child?"
She imagined the scene; it was so cheesy, something Jiang Xuchi wouldn't do.
"Then put me down quickly."
Jiang Xuchi listened to her and immediately let go. Qin Man didn't notice and fell into the water with a splash.
"you!"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the shore and steadied herself for a long time.
Jiang Xuchi had already gone swimming. After finishing a lap, he came back, lifted his goggles, and asked her, "Did you see the movements?"
It's pitch black; it would be strange if you could see anything.
"...Couldn't you have just installed a light?"
"Normal people generally don't swim in the middle of the night, nor do they teach beginners to swim in the middle of the night."
“I know,” Qin Man muttered, “you’re not a normal person.”
Jiang Xuchi smiled.
He reached out and put his arm around her waist with practiced ease. She was used to this position and naturally leaned towards him along the water.
It was all due to the buoyancy of the water; she suddenly moved very close to him, their thighs touching and their waists almost touching.
"You really never learned to swim?" Jiang Xuchi was skeptical. Qin Man had so many classes since she was little, how could she have missed swimming lessons?
"Why would I lie to you?" Qin Man said. "I didn't like that swimming coach when I was a kid, and I only went for two lessons before I never went again."
Actually, when she was little, she disliked the coach's physique and always felt that he would sink if he went into the water.
There are suspicions that if she were to drown, the coach would be unable to save her.
So she refused to go again.
Looking back now, such naive and arrogant thoughts are exactly like what she would have had when she was a child.
“Come on, let me teach you how to float.” Jiang Xuchi pushed her away a little. “Hold my hand and try to float.”
Qin Man placed her hands on his, imagining herself as a float, but she couldn't float no matter what she did.
"Straighten your legs."
"...Gurgle."
Jiang Xuchi immediately scooped her up, saying, "I told you to straighten up, why are you curled up like a shrimp? No wonder you're heavy."
Qin Man tried several more times, and just when she finally felt the buoyancy, she couldn't help but curl up or tense up so she couldn't float.
Her movements were unsteady, and she kept sinking. Every time she sank, she panicked and her body tensed up, causing her to sink even faster. Jiang Xuchi had to pull her out.
After several attempts, Qin Man angrily slapped the water's surface, splashing water everywhere. "I'm not learning anymore, it's too tiring, I can't even float."
"I haven't even said anything yet," Jiang Xuchi said sarcastically. "You can't even float, that's unusual, you're not that heavy."
Qin Man glared at him.
She decided to stop playing with him and braced herself against the edge of the pool to get out.
"ah!"
Her ankle was suddenly grabbed, pulling her back into the water. She choked on several mouthfuls of water, and finally managed to stand up, looking at Jiang Xuchi's hateful face.
"Jiang! Xu! Chi!"
Her instinct was to grab Jiang Xuchi, but he kicked off and slipped away like a fish.
...Why does he become so annoying at times like this?
Qin Man couldn't catch up, of course. She couldn't swim and could barely move in the water, so she turned around and continued to push herself upwards.
As she was about to get ashore, she stood on tiptoe and fell back down. "...Jiang Xuchi, I have a cramp."
She was truly panicked now; she didn't know whether to stretch her legs out or curl them up, and helplessly clung to the edge of the pool.
Jiang Xuchi looked at her pitiful appearance and said, "You haven't even started swimming yet, how come you have cramps?"
Stop talking nonsense...
Jiang Xuchi swam to the edge of the pool and went ashore. He walked over to Qin Man and pulled her ashore with both hands.
"It hurts!"
"Bear with it for now." Jiang Xuchi picked her up horizontally. She was indeed very light. Girls who practice dance usually control their weight, and she seemed even thinner than before.
Qin Man gasped in pain, buried her head in Jiang Xuchi's neck, and said fiercely, "I'm never learning to swim again."
Jiang Xuchi chuckled twice, picked her up and placed her on the recliner, then knelt down and touched her calves.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Rubbing, aren't you having a cramp?"
He reached out and forcefully bent her legs, rubbing her calves in circles.
Qin Man let out a relaxed breath, and the pain gradually subsided as he moved.
...
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Xuchi stood up, took out an inflated pink flamingo swimming ring from the side and threw it in front of her, "I'm going to swim a couple more laps. If you want to play in the water, put this on."
"..."
Qin Man was a little unconvinced, so she actually put on a swimming ring and went into the water again.
She had just lain down when Jiang Xuchi, who was not far away, suddenly swam over and forcefully pushed her swim ring.
Amidst screams, Qin Man floated less than half a meter away.
She was slow, but she was terrified.
"What's the panic? Are you afraid it will overturn?"
"Don't push me into the deep waters, Jiang Xuchi!"
Jiang Xuchi ignored her completely. Lying on the swimming ring, she was like a fish on a chopping board, only able to nervously hug the flamingo's neck and let him lead her to the deep water.
He, on the other hand, swam around two more laps as if he were a fish in water.
Qin Man tried to paddle back to the shallow water on her own, but Jiang Xuchi always brought her back.
"Just stay here. You won't drown if you're holding onto the swim ring. Why are you so nervous?"
Qin Man: ...Who do you think I'm afraid of?
Next, Jiang Xuchi swam his swim, while Qin Man paddled nervously in the deep water.
After a while, Jiang Xuchi swam over and grabbed her swim ring. "You can't swim back even after paddling for a long time. Let me do it."
Qin Man looked at him, a mischievous urge welling up inside her.
She reached out and hugged Jiang Xuchi's neck, leaning forward and pressing her down onto him as they sank to the bottom of the water.
Qin Man seemed somewhat familiar with water, as she didn't panic and start flailing her arms and legs. She held Jiang Xuchi down, rarely seeing him in such a flustered state.
For a moment, she even understood Jiang Chenyao a little; who wouldn't want to see him get angry later?
Just imagining it makes me feel great.
The oxygen in her lungs was instantly drained, and in the instant she was suffocating, her neck was hooked, and Jiang Xuchi's kiss pressed against her, surrounded by bubbles.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Qin Man lay on the shore coughing. She had already suffered twice from going into the water, and she would probably never be able to go back to water again in her life.
After coughing, she looked up at Jiang Xuchi.
She knelt on the ground, while Jiang Xuchi stood, only able to look up at him.
He was looking down from above, so his expression was not visible.
This Jiang Xuchi is purely evil and even perverted.
"You've really gone too far." Qin Man wiped her mouth, feeling extremely wronged; her lips were swollen from biting them.
Jiang Xuchi laughed nonchalantly, reaching out to brush her wet hair, which clung to her shoulders, and said, "You look really ugly like this."
"Is there not a single kind word you can say?"
"No," Jiang Xuchi said through gritted teeth, "What are you afraid of? Were you trying to die just now?"
Qin Man lowered her head: "Isn't it because of you..."
"I'm really impressed by you."
Jiang Xuchi managed to control his emotions, scooped her up with his hand, and pulled her into the house.
Qin Man obediently let him pull her into the bathroom, where the showerhead was turned on and warm water poured over her head.
The contrast between hot and cold made her shiver.
"You need to reflect on your actions properly," Jiang Xuchi said, then slammed the door and left.
