Chapter 162 "If you want to kiss me, just do it. I won't refuse..."
Gradually, under Ji Huaishen's truly professional guidance and her unyielding spirit, Wen Duo really found some feeling.
The water waves gently supported her. Wen Duo held her breath and stretched her limbs carefully.
Once, twice... She actually floated up with the help of buoyancy and was able to paddle a few times clumsily, like a mermaid baby who went into the water for the first time, with immature but extremely serious movements.
Although her posture could not be called graceful and she was even a little flustered, at least she was no longer the "koala" that had to cling tightly to Ji Huaishen to survive.
"Yes, that's it. Open your arms a little more... Well, my dear is so smart."
Ji Huaishen's voice was filled with an approving smile, and his eyes were always fixed on her. There was not only the professional scrutiny of a coach, but also a deeper, burning light of pride in her.
The joy of success was like little bubbles, bubbling in her heart and boosting her courage.
She slowly slowed down her movements and turned to look at the man who had been protecting her. Her wet eyes gleamed with eagerness.
"I want to try it myself."
Ji Huaishen frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face:
"You just learned it, so it's better to practice it again."
Wen Duo snorted, pouting her red lips slightly, with a little stubbornness:
"I'm going to try it myself!"
Ji Huaishen is too good at pretending. Who knows whether he wants to continue taking advantage of him or is really worried about him.
Ji Huaishen saw Wen Duo insisted on swimming by herself, thought for a moment and finally agreed:
"Okay, I'll be right next to you."
He retreated to the side helplessly, but his body remained in a posture ready to protect at any time, and his eyes followed him closely.
"Yeah~"
With permission, Wenduo felt like she had received a pardon.
She took a deep breath, turned her head, looked straight ahead, and imitated the movements she had just practiced, paddling and kicking with her hands and feet.
Everything went smoothly at first, but after swimming two or three meters, her rhythm was disrupted, her body suddenly sank, and the fear of her mouth and nose being submerged in water made her panic, and her hands and feet became a mess.
"Woo——!" The feeling of suffocation from choking on water came over me.
The little confidence that had just been built up was instantly shattered by the cold pool water.
The feeling of falling out of control made her heart stop, and panic wrapped around her like vines.
The expected suffocation did not last.
Just as she was panicking, a strong arm instantly wrapped around her waist, easily brought her out of the water, and locked her tightly in a solid and warm embrace.
Wen Duo was still in shock, and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Ji Huaishen's neck tightly, hanging on him like a koala.
“Cough! Cough cough…”
He was coughing violently, with tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He looked both pitiful and heartbreaking.
"Are you okay? Are you scared?"
Ji Huaishen patted her back gently, with a hint of fear in his voice:
"It's my fault. I let go too early."
His big hands gently patted her back, and the heartache and self-blame in his tone were so real, as if what she had just experienced was not just a minor choking, but a life-and-death disaster.
Wen Duo recovered her breath and shook her head:
"I...I'm fine."
She whispered, wanting to let go, but her legs felt a little weak due to the shock just now, so she continued to hold on.
Relying on his body temperature and strength, the fear was slowly dispelled.
But what followed was deep disappointment:
“I thought I had learned it…”
The voice was muffled, with a barely perceptible cry.
Everything was fine when he was supporting me, why did it stop working once I left him?
Ji Huaishen noticed Wen Duo's disappointment and whispered encouragement:
"It only took half an hour and I was able to swim a few strokes. I'm much better than many people."
Wen Duo's eyes lit up:
"Really?"
Ji Huaishen nodded: "Really."
Then, he said with a barely perceptible resentment:
"You learn so quickly... When you really do learn it, are you going to kick me away and swim away?"
Wen Duo was stunned. She didn't expect him to say that. The slight grievance and shock in her heart suddenly turned into a kind of subtle sweetness.
She glared at him coquettishly and said stubbornly:
"Of course! Who told you to just... act like a hooligan and not teach properly?"
"Then I regret it."
Ji Huaishen tightened his arms and whispered into her red ear with a hot breath and a startling temptation:
"Let's learn slowly and for a lifetime, okay?"
"You wish!" Wen Duo hit him.
Seeing that Wen Duo was in a good mood again, Ji Huaishen said:
"Still learning?"
"Learn! Teach me quickly!" Wen Duo rekindled his fighting spirit.
She's so smart, she'll definitely be able to learn it!
"Yes, sir." Ji Huaishen agreed immediately.
Wen Duo became more and more devoted to her studies. She would occasionally make small mistakes and he would catch her in time. His strong arms were always there when she needed them, and she felt more secure than ever before.
She gradually gained courage and her movements became smoother and smoother.
Before she knew it, she had swum a long distance in a crooked manner under his protection.
"Ji Huaishen! Look! I think I can do it!"
After a successful breath, she turned her head excitedly, her wet hair sticking to her cheeks, her eyes surprisingly bright, as if filled with tiny starlight, showing him her joy and achievement without reservation.
Ji Huaishen followed closely behind, keeping within reach.
At this moment, his heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile that was pure joy without any gloom.
He suddenly reached out and gently pulled her towards him.
Wen Duo unexpectedly bumped into his arms and looked up in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
Ji Huaishen looked at her deeply, his eyes burning with too many emotions surging in them.
Pride, admiration, and a deep affection that almost drowned her.
He raised his hand and very gently smoothed away the wet hair stuck to her cheek. His fingertips accidentally brushed across her tender cheek, causing a shudder.
"nothing,"
His voice was incredibly low, carrying a certain alluring power:
"I just suddenly wanted to kiss you."
Having said this, he paused and asked:
"May I?"
Wen Duo's pupils dilated slightly, and the heat that had just faded from her cheeks surged back again.
"If you want to kiss me, just do it. I won't refuse..." Wen Duo said with a pout.
Ji Huaishen chuckled and lowered his head to kiss Wen Duo's lips.
