Chapter 348 Persuading to Rest
"Sister Wan, why don't you take a break?" Xia Guoguo watched Ji Wan fall and get up again and again, feeling both admiration and heartache.
Ji Wan shook his head and panted, "Try a few more times."
"Why are you working so hard? We're just playing with clients, there's no need to take it so seriously." Xia Guoguo asked in confusion.
Ji Wan looked at the distant horizon with a determined look, "I've always done things this way. No matter what I do, I will give it my all. Especially now..."
Her voice lowered. "I want to prove to myself that I can surpass myself, both in my career and in my life."
Never be defeated.
Xia Guoguo was infected by her momentum and stopped trying to dissuade her. "Then let's continue."
After trying a few more times, Ji Wan seemed to gradually master some tricks.
On the fifteenth try, she finally managed to catch a wave, stood up quickly, bent her legs slightly, stretched her arms, and managed to maintain her balance.
"I did it." Ji Wan shouted happily, her surfboard gliding on the waves, and the feeling of becoming one with the sea made her heart surge.
"Be careful." Xia Guoguo suddenly shouted.
In front of Ji Wan, a bigger wave was coming towards him.
She didn't have time to react before a huge wave lifted her surfboard and threw her heavily into the sea.
The waves rolled, and Ji Wan was tossed to and fro underwater, unable to tell up from down for a moment.
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped into the water, grabbed her with strong arms and pulled her to the surface.
Ji Wan struggled to the surface and was about to thank his savior when he saw a familiar face.
"Chi Wenyan?" Ji Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chi Wenyan held her arm tightly, his eyes full of worry, "Are you okay?"
Ji Wan smiled and said, "I'm fine. There's no need to save me. I can swim." As she spoke, she floated on the water easily, proving that she was indeed safe and sound.
Chi Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little embarrassed, "I saw you being knocked over by the waves, and I thought you were in trouble."
"Thank you for your concern. I did manage to stand up just now, but the last wave was just too big." Ji Wan had a proud smile on his face, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Since you can surf, why don't we have a competition?"
Chi Wenyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure? You just learned to stand up."
“How do you know if you don’t try?” Ji Wan swam towards his surfboard, a challenging glint in his eyes.
Chi Wenyan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Shengyan Jing, throw my board over here."
On the shore, a tall man waved his hand and pushed a professional surfboard into the water. Chi Wenyan swam over, grabbed the surfboard, and returned to Ji Wan.
"What are the rules?" he asked, a hint of curiosity in his tone.
Ji Wan thought for a moment and said, "It's simple. Let's see who can stay on the wave the longest. Three rounds, and we'll take the best result."
Chi Wenyan nodded, "Deal."
The two of them paddled to different locations, waiting for the right waves.
Ji Wan's heart beat faster. She knew that this challenge was a bit risky, but deep down, she longed for this excitement and longed to challenge herself.
Soon, an ideal wave formed. Ji Wan paddled hard to keep up with the rhythm of the wave, and then stood up with a nimble movement.
This time, her movements were much smoother than before, and the surfboard glided steadily on the crest of the waves.
Not far away, Chi Wenyan also stood up. His movements were obviously more professional and calm. His body swayed naturally with the rise and fall of the waves, as if he had become one with the waves.
The two chased each other on the sea. Although Ji Wan was a beginner, she learned quickly and was able to imitate some of Chi Wenyan's movements and maintain her body balance.
Under the sunlight, the two figures outline graceful lines on the blue sea, like a pair of dancers on the sea.
It is particularly eye-catching and attracts people's attention.
On the coast, Xia Guoguo stared at the scene in amazement, "Oh my God, why is Sister Wan suddenly so powerful?"
Sheng Yanjing stood beside her, his eyes gleaming with admiration, "Your friend is very talented. It's rare to reach such a level in such a short time."
"Really? I thought she was too reckless." Xia Guoguo said in surprise.
Sheng Yanjing smiled. "Sometimes, recklessness is also a form of courage. Judging from her posture, although her technique is still very rough, her body balance and sense of rhythm are very good. Coupled with her courage and ability to learn, she is indeed a promising surfing seedling."
On the sea, the first round of competition between Ji Wan and Chi Wenyan is nearing its end.
Due to exhaustion, Ji Wan stayed on the wave for about thirty seconds before losing his balance and falling into the water.
Chi Wenyan glided easily for nearly a minute before jumping off the surfboard gracefully.
"1:0, I won." Chi Wenyan swam to Ji Wan's side with a slight smile on his face.
Ji Wan shook his wet hair unconvincedly, "There are still two rounds to go, don't be too proud."
The second round soon began. This time, Ji Wan, having learned from her first round experience, focused even more on maintaining balance and controlling her speed. She extended her time on the waves to forty-five seconds, a significant improvement.
But Chi Wenyan seemed to have some reservations, and easily stayed on the waves for one minute and twenty seconds, winning again.
"2:0." Chi Wenyan said calmly, but there was already a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Ji Wan took a deep breath and said, "In the final round, I will definitely surpass you."
The last wave was bigger than the previous two. Ji Wan hesitated for a moment, but decided to catch the wave. She paddled with all her might, then stood up smoothly and stood firmly on the surfboard.
This time, she found the feeling, her body swaying naturally with the rhythm of the waves, her arms spread out like a seabird spreading its wings.
The surfboard glided on the waves, getting faster and faster, and Ji Wan's face was filled with pure joy.
Chi Wenyan was watching her from a distance, with surprise and admiration flashing in his eyes.
He also stood up quickly, and the surfboard drew a graceful arc on the water, forming a beautiful picture with Ji Wan.
The sea breeze blew across their faces, the sunlight scattered golden fragments on the sea, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Ji Wan focused on the front, but she could see Chi Wenyan's figure out of the corner of her eye. Her agility made her yearn for it.
One minute... one minute and ten seconds... one minute and twenty seconds...
Ji Wan pushed his limit, staying on the wave for nearly one minute and thirty seconds before falling into the water due to exhaustion. Chi Wenyan, on the other hand, persisted for one minute and forty-five seconds, ultimately winning again with a slight advantage.
"3:0, I win." Chi Wenyan swam to Ji Wan and stretched out his hand.
Ji Wan held his hand and accepted the defeat calmly. "Indeed, you won beautifully, but I have surpassed myself, and that is enough."
