Just as Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo had guessed, both of them were quite good swimmers.
Compared to the beautiful women playing in the shallow end of the pool, or the handsome men accompanying them, Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo were always together, moving freely in the pool like fish.
Swimming from one side of the pool to the other, and then from the other side of the pool back to this side.
After repeating this several times, the two took a short break in the shallow water.
"Xiao Huai, you are the girl with the best physical strength and endurance I have ever met."
If someone else had said this, Tong Xiaohuai might not have been happy, because most of the women others knew were gentle and weak.
But Yanbo is different. He has far more experience than his peers, and naturally, he has met many more people.
Moreover, although he rarely talks about his friends or social circle, for some reason, Tong Xiaohuai has this opinion.
I always felt that most of the people he came into contact with, whether men or women, were not ordinary people.
"Thank you for the compliment, but compared to you, I'm still far behind, aren't I?"
Tong Xiaohuai rarely admires someone to the point of prostration, but she truly does now admire Yan Bo.
Leaving aside his appearance, which is a gift from his parents, Tong Xiaohuai has yet to find anyone more outstanding than his peers in terms of academic knowledge, character, and physical skills.
She didn't know if this meant she was seeing things through love, but she was certain that she liked him much more than she thought.
"I don't think you're any worse than me. There are natural differences in physical abilities between men and women."
The two people who insisted on comparing their height during their morning exercise now see each other as incredibly impressive.
The two of them stretched and enjoyed themselves in the pool. After more than an hour, Yanbo suggested that they go back to rest.
Tong Xiaohuai rarely met someone who could swim with her and whose strength was no less than hers, so she was a little reluctant when Yan Bo said he had to go back.
"What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Yanbo reached out and pulled her into his arms. Even though she was wearing the most conservative one-piece swimsuit, it still concealed the fact that she had a good figure.
"I'm not tired, but we need to rest properly; we have plans for tonight."
As Yanbo spoke, his hand intentionally or unintentionally swept across the curve of her waist. Anyway, they were in the water, so no one could see.
Tong Xiaohuai stiffened and instinctively tried to break free from his embrace, but Yan Bo not only didn't let go, but instead tightened his grip, wrapping his arms around her waist and gently stroking her from her front to her back.
His movements underwater were already gentle, and with the added effect of the water, Tong Xiaohuai felt as if his movements were like a feather brushing against her skin, causing her to shudder again.
A strange heat surged through his body, spreading gradually from the point where his palm touched, and quickly coursing throughout his entire body. This unfamiliar sensation made Tong Xiaohuai feel uneasy.
"Let me go..." Tong Xiaohuai turned her head and glared at him, speaking through gritted teeth in a low voice.
She was shy, and even though she knew no one could see what he was doing underwater, she still felt ashamed of being treated intimately in public.
"No..." Yan Bo rarely acted like a spoiled child.
He rested his chin on her shoulder, his chest pressed against her half-naked back. His large hand caressed her from her lower back all the way up.
At first, there was a swimsuit between them, but later, he directly touched her bare back skin.
Tong Xiaohuai stopped trembling, but she seemed to have all her strength drained away, and leaned limply against his chest.
She was extremely frustrated. Her mind and reason desperately wanted to break free from his suspicion, but her body seemed to be hypnotized and controlled by him. She leaned against him completely, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Yanbo...didn't you...say you were going back...?"
Tong Xiaohuai wasn't afraid that Yan Bo would do anything inappropriate to her in the pool; in that respect, she trusted him completely.
But the thought of being intimate with him in front of everyone made her feel like her privacy was being violated, filling her with discomfort and shame.
So, with her remaining rationality, she reminded him that it was time to leave.
Her once soft and comfortable body was now stiff as a board. Yan Bo, sensing her intense unease, did not indulge her as usual. Instead, he tilted his head and rested it on her shoulder, his lips intentionally or unintentionally touching her earlobe, which was so red it looked like it was dripping blood.
"Yes...we're getting ready to go back!"
He said he would go back, but his actions contradicted his words.
Tong Xiaohuai's earlobe was touched once or twice by a warm object, and the hot breath sprayed on the back of her neck, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Even if she was naive, she could imagine how blood-boiling that scene was.
"Yanbo, don't play with fire!"
Tong Xiaohuai gritted her teeth and used all her reason to give a stern warning to the man who was clinging to her and acting recklessly behind her.
Sure enough, all men are scoundrels!
Yan Bo was still immersed in the romantic atmosphere he had created, but after being warned like this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, ruining his composure.
All romance vanished. He kissed the back of her neck, pushed her away, put his hands on her shoulders, and the two of them faced each other, gazing into each other's eyes.
"Girl, do you know what playing with fire is?"
Tong Xiaohuai glared at him, then raised her foot as if to kick him, but due to the resistance of the water, she only lightly rubbed against his calf as if tickling him.
"Young Master Yan, I am an adult. Please don't look at me like I'm a child, okay?"
Yan Bo smiled and reached out to ruffle her wet hair.
"Oh...I understand!"
I wonder who it is that doesn't even understand the concept of male self-control!
Surprisingly, they know about playing with fire.
However, even if Tong Xiaohuai hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have dared to go too far. After all, he had realized more than once that in front of her, his composure and rationality were as fragile as soap bubbles, easily bursting.
Tong Xiaohuai was annoyed by his grinning face and expression. She glared at him again, shook off his hand, and turned to swim towards the edge of the pool.
Yan Bo smiled and opened his arms, following the mermaid-like figure in the water.
Tong Xiaohuai, who had swum to the edge of the pool first, held onto the iron ladder and prepared to get out of the water.
A large hand rested on her arm, and a familiar voice came from behind her.
"You stay here for now, I'll get ashore first."
Tong Xiaohuai glanced at him, puzzled, but still obediently listened to him and stood quietly in the water.
Yan Bo braced himself against the edge of the pool with both hands and made a strong push to land easily on the shore.
She turned her head and smiled gently at Tong Xiaohuai, "Wait for me!"
Tong Xiaohuai rolled her eyes at him again, and Yan Bo raised an eyebrow dismissively.
