Chapter 43: Forty-third Night
"Let's make a bet first. Will something happen to your wrist today?"
"What's the bet? You decide. Just guess first."
Qiu Tingxu said while dangling his feet in the water.
Xu Yansheng glanced at the wound on his wrist and said, "If you lose, you will have to teach me how to swim."
"Nothing will happen to your wrist."
Qiu Tingxu was speechless for a moment, then hesitantly said: "So you have never learned to swim, then I can teach you even if you don't have to win!"
"Why waste a bet?"
Xu Yansheng just shook his head, "That's it."
Qiu Tingxu compromised, "Okay, what if you lose?"
Xu Yansheng: "Just decide."
Qiu Tingxu raised his eyebrows, "You mean you are very confident, are you sure you will win?"
"That's right. What if your word spirit technique has surpassed the world consciousness? Wouldn't that be a big disadvantage for me?"
Xu Yansheng walked to his side, looked at the still shimmering light blue water, then looked down at Qiu Tingxu who was so close... and his feet buried in the water.
Her body is well-proportioned, her skin is fair, and the occasional protruding cartilage is incredibly beautiful.
He moved his eyes to Qiu Tingxu's face without leaving any trace, and then he said lightly: "I'm not that powerful."
Qiu Tingxu thought about the ending of this world that his roommate had told him about, and fell silent.
He wanted to say: No, no, no, you are really that great.
But all this was just his guess. Even if he was 99% confident that the destruction of the world was related to Xu Yansheng, there was still a 1% chance that it had nothing to do with Xu Yansheng.
What if it really is just a coincidence?
He couldn't say anything, and couldn't directly put the responsibility for the destruction of the world on Xu Yansheng.
Besides, what was supposed to happen in the original plot has changed 360 degrees, and everything is still unknown. How can he be sure that Xu Yansheng will turn from a cannon fodder into a hidden villain?
What a mess! What he should consider is living in the present moment.
Qiu Tingxu slapped his head and said loudly: "Well, let's get back to the gambling game. I'll bet that something will happen to you today. If I win, you have to promise me one thing in the future, okay?"
"I'm not going to curse you, it's mainly because you've already chosen the option of nothing happening."
Xu Yansheng nodded: "Yeah."
Qiu Tingxu finally stopped soaking his feet, stood up to get a spare towel and wiped his body thoroughly.
His hair was messed up by him and stuck unruly on his forehead.
He didn't care at all and just picked up two handfuls at random, his brows and eyes clear.
"Isn't it three o'clock yet?"
Xu Yansheng was still standing by the pool, and without even looking at his phone, he said, "We're here."
Qiu Tingxu walked over and tried to pull him back, "What are you doing standing there? What if you fall into the water?"
Xu Yansheng lowered his eyes and looked at him holding his hand, then looked away for a moment and let him lead him.
Accidents always happen in an instant. There is a mysterious force competing with Qiu Tingxu for Xu Yansheng.
He couldn't pull him.
Soon Qiu Tingxu's hand was infected by a chill, forcing him to let go of Xu Yansheng's wrist.
Xu Yansheng was dragged into the swimming pool. The moment he fell into the water, the water splashed even wet Qiu Tingxu's cheeks.
He wiped the water droplets off his face blankly, but the cool water could not cover up the chillness on his body.
Then he seemed to wake up from a dream, cursed softly, and jumped into the water.
Xu Yansheng had just said that he couldn't swim, and now he was thrown into the water.
It's hard to deny the world's ill will towards him.
The swimming pool of this villa is very deep, at least 2 meters, so people who can swim don’t have to worry about drowning.
But for those who can’t swim, their limbs will basically be out of control after falling in.
Xu Yansheng is like the mermaid in the movie, the kind that can’t swim.
Just let yourself sink under the influence of gravity and kinetic energy.
It was obvious that it knew that the more it struggled, the more out of control it would become, so it wanted to wait until the sinking stopped and then float up naturally.
But he overestimated his ability to hold his breath and started blowing bubbles before he even floated up to the surface.
He was a little uncomfortable with opening his eyes in the water, but the world would be too dark if he kept his eyes closed, so he had to blink slowly to adapt to the intrusion of water.
The slightly long hair spread out in the water, and the picturesque face was completely exposed in the water, without any particularly nervous expression.
It’s like you don’t care about anything and whatever happens is just fate.
Indifferent.
If he had not clearly seen the figure of someone coming in the opposite direction from above, he could still remain indifferent.
Today, at this moment, he abnormally spread out his hands and stretched them upwards, as if to greet the rising sun, or to embrace hope.
His lips moved slightly, and finally suddenly formed an arc.
He is laughing.
Qiu Tingxu had no idea what he said.
I just knew he was smiling.
