Chapter 39 Strict Management Type, Pampering Type, Encouraging...
Yesterday's "a bit long" resulted in Jin Huan almost being late.
Zhong Yan called her several times in the morning, but she kept opening and closing her eyes. Zhong Yan was a little helpless, since this had never happened before.
It seems he's been exercising too much, while she hasn't been exercising enough.
After all, he was lying on his stomach in a precarious position, like a wall that would collapse at the slightest touch.
Having reached this conclusion, Zhong Yan could only pull the person out of the blankets, change their clothes, and carry them to the bathroom to wash up.
Only after the toothbrush was handed to her could she finally open her eyes, and she immediately buried herself in Zhong Yan's arms and acted coquettishly: "I'm so tired, I don't want to go to school."
Zhong Yan gently rubbed her head and leaned close to her ear: "It's my fault... Do you really not want to go?"
Jin Huan suddenly looked up, staring at him with an innocent expression.
Ah... Why didn't anyone try to persuade her? Isn't it bad to spoil someone like Zhong Yan too much? Jin Huan wants to take back her previous assessment of him as a daddy. He's not the strict management type at all; he's the spoiling type.
What if we really raise a child? With Zhong Yan's personality, wouldn't we spoil him rotten?
Zhong Yan freed one hand to catch the water: "Isn't our little Bao able to crawl all the way to school?"
Zhong Yan knew her, of course. She couldn't get up because she was really exhausted, not because she didn't want to go to school. With her seriousness about studying, she would have continued to crawl even if her legs were broken.
This description left Jin Huan speechless. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything to refute it for a long time. She asked Zhong Yan to put her down and quickly washed up.
So I didn't have time for breakfast, I just stuffed a sandwich and a bottle of milk into my bag and rushed to the garage.
Concerned about her condition, Zhong Yan personally drove her home.
Jin Huan, feeling completely drained, leaned back in her chair, half-closed her eyes, and looked at Zhong Yan sadly, saying, "Teacher Tan said yesterday that today's task is very heavy."
Zhong Yan: "So?"
Jin Huan said, "So my condition might not be up to par, and I'll be dragging everyone down."
Zhong Yan sighed softly, "That's my fault."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I won't do that again."
"No." Jin Huan opened her eyes, and as soon as she spoke, she realized that her reaction was too strong. She took a step back awkwardly and murmured softly, "I can do it when I'm on vacation."
It's great that you like it so much... You don't hide your feelings, you just say what you want.
Zhong Yan really likes this.
The car stopped at the school gate. Jin Huan picked up her bag and was about to get out of the car when she paused, turned around, and quickly kissed Zhong Yan on the cheek.
"See you tonight." Jin Huan glanced at the time, her face already displaying an "Ahhhhh" emoji. Even if she had no energy left, she was determined to keep going.
The warm, moist air lingered on his face, and Zhong Yan's eyes relaxed as he looked in the direction she left, feeling as if a thread in his heart had been pulled away by her.
.
In the height of summer in July, wedding preparations are underway.
Jin Huan was completely clueless about wedding preparations. She didn't understand the procedures and ceremonies involved. After asking her aunt at home, she gained some clarity.
But Zhong Yan wouldn't let her worry too much.
With him around, she basically doesn't have to worry about anything.
Zhong Yan will arrange everything properly.
After the last group meeting, the summer break of my second year of graduate school, which was known as the darkest period of my life, began.
Some students are taking doctoral entrance exams, others are taking civil service exams, and still others are doing internships and trying to get job offers. They seem to be wavering between continuing their studies and entering the workforce.
She is still thinking about what kind of life she wants to live in the future.
In mid-July, Zhong Yan finished his project and had a few days off, so he took Jin Huan to a mountain villa.
Jin Huan wasn't quite sure how many properties Zhong Yan owned in the southern part of the city. The villas there were excellent for escaping the summer heat, and Zhong Yan often stayed there for a while during the summer.
There's a resort area here with beautiful scenery. Even in this sweltering heat, the temperature is a few degrees lower than in the city center, making it a comfortable place to escape the summer heat.
The villa has a swimming pool. Zhong Yan specifically told Jin Huan that he could teach her to swim, so Jin Huan bought several swimsuits before coming.
She learned to swim when she was very young, when she was still in elementary school. The school had swimming lessons, and Jin Huan followed along with everyone else. She was a little afraid of water, and while swimming, she was kicked by one of her classmates, which caused her to fall into the water and swallow a lot of water.
In fact, we were swimming in shallow water at that time. When we stood up, the water was only up to our waists. But people would still panic if they were suddenly submerged. As a result, Jin Huan was the slowest to progress and could only doggy paddle by the end of the course.
After that, I basically didn't touch water anymore.
It's all a dark history.
Jin Huan is also very careful when choosing swimsuits.
She wasn't too bothered by the heat and preferred to wear long sleeves and pants even in the summer. She especially disliked wearing revealing swimsuits, so her first choice was a two-piece swimsuit: a fully covered top and a skirt that reached above her knees, revealing only her waist and calves.
Jin Huan hesitated, then sent the document to her aunt for her opinion.
Fang Shuyun said that, looking at her dressed like that, people who didn't know her would think she was a Muslim.
After much deliberation, Jin Huan prepared another item.
A white, strappy camisole with plenty of skin showing gives off a gentle and feminine vibe.
Jin Huan was describing her experience learning to swim in elementary school to Zhong Yan, and picked up two swimsuits to show him: "Which one do you think is better?"
Zhong Yan carefully examined the two swimsuits in her hands.
Zhong Yan's gaze lingered on her left hand, and he slowly smiled, "Jin Huan, what's this? Is it Muslim clothing?"
Jin Huan frowned: "My aunt said the same thing."
"Then I'll change into this." Jin Huan made the decision immediately, took the white camisole and went inside to change.
Jin Huan tied her hair into a high bun, changed into a tank top, and came out. Her skin was already fair, and the straps crossed from her back, highlighting her beautiful shoulder blades. She had a well-proportioned figure and her skin was radiant and glowing. In the past six months, the parts that should be plump had become even more voluptuous. She stood there in her tank top, and she could attract people like crazy without doing anything.
The sunlight shone on the back of her neck, making the downy hair gleam golden.
Jin Huan ran to the edge of the pool, sat down, and dangled her feet in for a bit. The joy of playing in the water immediately came to her.
What child doesn't love playing in the water in the summer?
The swimming pool is simply a paradise for fun.
Zhong Yan was replying to a message, so Jin Huan called out to him again, "Daddy, look!"
Zhong Yan then looked up.
Zhong Yan smiled helplessly: "Is it that fun?"
Fun.
Of course it's fun!
It would be even better to play with Zhong Yan at night.
Zhong Yan went into the water first, helped Jin Huan down, and let her swim a bit on her own first.
Let's see how far they can swim.
Speaking of this, Jin Huan was very proud. She was not a landlubber. After all, the skill she learned as a child was something she would always have. She grabbed the edge of the pool, her legs slowly floated up, and then she let go to show Zhong Yan.
She can float, she can float.
Zhong Yan looked at her without urging her, and waited for her to float for a while before saying, "Then try swimming."
At this point, Jin Huan became a little embarrassed. Her terrible, dog-paddle-like swimming technique was something she couldn't show Zhong Yan; it would be utterly shameful. She paused, shook her head, and said, "You need to teach me."
Zhong Yan knew exactly what she was thinking. He smiled and said gently, "Our Jin Huan is so smart, she learns everything so quickly, doesn't she?"
It can learn to play by itself in just a few tries and knows how to find what feels comfortable; it's incredibly smart.
What's this called? Loan-style education. It instantly elevates Jinhuan to that level.
Jin Huan nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, of course I'm smart."
Zhong Yan grasped her wrist, gently pressing his fingertips against her wrist bone, and told her to learn the most basic breaststroke first.
She already knew the basics, so now she needed to learn the frog kick. Zhong Yan explained the key points of the movement to her, and then helped her practice the leg movements.
Bring your legs in, kick and squeeze, then take another breath, then bring your legs in again and kick and squeeze.
With Zhong Yan by her side, Jin Huan became much bolder. She forgot all the terrible memories of being kicked and only felt the joy of playing in the water and the excitement of learning to swim the breaststroke.
His legs were kicking the water with all his might.
If this happened outside, people would call him a "brat" for making such a scene.
Zhong Yan simply watched her, seeing her movements becoming smoother and smoother, even her breathing became a seamless sequence, so he tried to slowly loosen his grip.
As soon as he let go, Jin Huan felt as if she had lost her footing. The floating sensation she had just felt vanished instantly, and a sense of panic washed over her. She was so frightened that she clung tightly to his neck, pressing herself against him in fear: "What are you doing?"
Zhong Yan sighed helplessly, but still subconsciously patted her back to comfort her: "If you don't let go, you'll never learn."
Jin Huan's arms were still wrapped tightly around his neck. Although she knew this, Zhong Yan was her sense of security. As long as he was supporting her, it was okay. So she wrapped her arms around his neck and shook her head vigorously.
He shook his head like a rattle.
Zhong Yan looked down at the top of her dark head. He didn't say anything, but there was a deep sense of helplessness in his eyes. If Jin Huan was going to throw a tantrum like this, he really couldn't do anything about it. He could only pat her back and continue to coax her.
"How about we try a few more times and I'll slowly loosen up?" Zhong Yan whispered in her ear, "Little Bao, be a good girl."
Jin Huan was still hugging his neck, but she separated slightly, staring at him for a long time before blinking.
Her gaze swept over his lips. His lips were rather thin, which made him appear aloof, but when he kissed someone, he could be both gentle and forceful, conveying a deep range of emotions through his lips.
Zhong Yan let her watch for a while, then he said in a low voice, "I'll let you kiss me for a while once you've learned how... not now."
Zhong Yan patted her head: "Then let's continue."
Jin Huan could actually start swimming as soon as she recalled some of her past memories, but her swimming posture needed to be standardized and corrected. When she stopped making a fuss and started to put in all her effort to learn, she was very fast. Even when Zhong Yan let go, she could swim for a while on her own.
Zhong Yan stood guard beside her.
Jin Huan happily showed him what she had learned, her eyes crinkling with laughter, as if she were asking herself if she was good enough. Zhong Yan gazed at her gently, his eyes full of understanding.
Even if his posture wasn't very graceful and he didn't swim very far, what he meant was, "That's great, that's already great."
It's great to be able to let go, and it's great to be able to swim.
"Would you like something to drink?" Zhong Yan draped a bath towel over himself and went to the poolside. "I'll go get you something to drink."
Jin Huan was indeed a little thirsty, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Orange juice."
Zhong Yan agreed, telling her to be careful while swimming alone, or come and rest for a while while he went in first and would be out soon.
Since no one lives here permanently, only the housekeeper comes regularly to take care of things. Food and drinks are replenished a few days in advance. Zhong Yan took orange juice from the refrigerator, then took a bottle of wine, and then came out.
When I returned, I didn't see Jin Huan.
No one agreed.
Zhong Yan frowned slightly. He called out again, but still no one answered.
Zhong Yan's heart was already gripped. He turned his gaze to the pool and saw that the water in the center seemed to be bubbling. Apart from that bubbling area, the rest of the water was unusually quiet.
His gaze sharpened, his expression turning incredibly tense. A rare sense of panic washed over him, like a tightly woven net. In an instant, almost instinctively, Zhong Yan put down what he was holding and jumped right in.
