Even the system was speechless at the original plot, remaining silent for a while before continuing:
[In the original storyline, although Xie Chen retired and changed careers, he still loved swimming and had a standard competition-level swimming pool at home, where he would go swimming from time to time.]
One day, while swimming, his old foot injury flared up again, and his calf cramped in the water. No one was around to help him.
He sank into the water, and when he surfaced, he was already dead.
Even in 748's adorable voice, you could sense his indignation.
What utter rubbish was the original plot?!
This is just as absurd as Gu Jixing dying from a cold in the previous small world.
If the protagonist can't handle the villain, he'll have the villain die in an accident.
How can two consecutive small worlds be so absurd? No wonder cannon fodder is needed to stage a comeback to correct the absurdity of these small worlds!
748 kept complaining to himself.
After hearing how the villain died in the original story, Fu Bai's gaze darkened, and he couldn't help but look into the water.
In the water, Xie Chen's legs were straight and powerful, and the splashes of water he kicked up helped him swim faster and more steadily.
His legs are still intact, and he can stand on the world's highest podium with him.
Xie Chen was clearly born for the pool and for competition. If one day he can no longer return to the competition, no longer ride the waves with other athletes, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it, right?
Fu Bai's legs, which were submerged in the water, gently rubbed against Xie Chen's legs, revealing her tenderness.
Xie Chen looked at Fu Bai with slight surprise, and met Fu Bai's eyes. He instantly understood the emotions in Fu Bai's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Fu Bai, I'm fine."
These words came out of his mouth, as if to comfort her, and also as to tell Fu Bai the truth about his physical condition.
Fu Bai put his arm around Xie Chen's neck, without any sentimentality, and said, "Xie Chen, I want to see you standing on the highest podium. I want to witness you win an Olympic gold medal with my own eyes."
Xie Chen wanted to hug Fu Bai back, but his raised hand froze in mid-air because of Fu Bai's words.
After a while, he seemed to regain his strength, hugged Fu Bai tightly, and nodded reassuringly: "Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Bai smiled and planted a kiss on Xie Chen's neck.
Their intimate posture in the water could not escape the eyes of those on the shore.
"Chen Lan?"
Seeing Chen Lan staring blankly at the pool, Xiao Shaojun frowned slightly and called out her name.
Chen Lan snapped out of her daze and turned her head away, embarrassed. "Excuse me, Teacher Xiao, what did you just say?"
“I remember I just told you,” Xiao Shaojun said with a straight face, “Don’t be so polite with me, just call me by my name.”
His tone sounded somewhat displeased because Chen Lan ignored his words.
Chen Lan seemed oblivious to his misunderstanding, but still readily agreed, saying, "Then I really won't stand on ceremony with you, Shao Jun?"
Xiao Shaojun slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "Mm."
Chen Lan looked at the swimming pool again.
The people who had been embracing had separated. After teaching Fu Bai the basic swimming stroke, Xie Chen continued to teach him the butterfly stroke.
This was the first time Chen Lan had seen patience and gentleness in Xie Chen. He frowned, then suddenly turned to Xiao Shaojun and asked, "Shaojun, can you swim?"
Xiao Shaojun: "I know a little, but I'm not good at it."
Chen Lan: "If I remember correctly, the next recording location is at the beach, right? If it's at the beach, it's better to know how to swim just in case."
Xiao Shaojun understood and was about to say that he could teach him when Chen Lan continued, "Let's go ask Xie Chen for advice. He's a world swimming champion!"
After saying that, Chen Lan walked towards Xie Chen and Fu Bai.
After taking a few steps, seeing that Xiao Shaojun hadn't followed, she turned around and called out to him, "Shaojun, aren't you going? It's a rare opportunity to learn swimming from a world champion!"
Now that things have come to this point, Xiao Shaojun naturally has no reason to refuse.
Having won the Best Actor award, he perfectly concealed his unhappiness and went to find Xie Chen with Chen Lan.
When they arrived at the poolside, Fu Bai had just emerged from the water after swimming back and forth with Xie Chen.
The pool water slid down his face, which was slightly flushed from exercise. The moment he emerged from the water, he looked just like a mermaid living in the water, surfacing to tempt those sailing on the sea.
Xiao Shaojun was stunned when he saw Fu Bai.
For a moment, I couldn't recall that there was such a good-looking person in "Expired Lover".
Chen Lan didn't notice Xiao Shaojun's unusual behavior. His gaze naturally fell on Xie Chen, and he invited him in an admiring tone, "Xie Chen, could you teach us how to swim?"
After asking the question, he looked at Xie Chen expectantly, but he was already certain that Xie Chen would not refuse him in front of the camera.
Xie Chen didn't even look at Chen Lan, and said directly, "Sorry, I'm in Fu Bai today."
Chen Lan's smile froze, as if she couldn't believe Xie Chen would reject her.
Fu Bai leaned on Xie Chen's shoulder from behind, satisfied with Xie Chen's answer. He breathed into Xie Chen's ear and said, "I'm tired, let's go upstairs."
Xie Chen: "Okay."
Fu Bai smiled at Chen Lan: "Sorry, we've had enough fun, we'll be leaving now."
After a pause, Fu Bai suggested, "There are swimming coaches at the swimming pool. If you want to learn, you can ask them to teach you."
Finally, he said something exactly like Xie Chen in a provocative manner: "Xie Chen belongs to me today."
Chen Lan's smile faltered, his expression stiffening as he said with a dim gaze, "Fu Bai, do you have some misunderstanding about me? If it's because of Zheng Siyu, I'll go back and persuade him to get along with you properly."
Fu Bai chuckled and said frankly and openly, "I really don't like you."
No one expected Fu Bai to say such a thing while being filmed. If it airs, people will definitely criticize him.
However, the next second, Fu Bai said something even bolder: "Who told you to covet the person I've set your sights on?"
Chen Lan was on the shore, while Fu Bai was in the water.
Although Chen Lan was clearly the one looking down at him, Fu Bai's raised head and the mocking look on his lips exuded an imposing aura, making Chen Lan appear somewhat timid and hesitant in comparison.
Fu Bai ignored Chen Lan and hooked Xie Chen's chin with his finger: "I'm tired, carry me to change my clothes."
Xie Chen: "Okay."
He first led Fu Bai ashore, and then bent down in front of Fu Bai.
Fu Bai didn't stand on ceremony with Xie Chen, jumping onto his back and wrapping her long, slender legs around his waist.
Xie Chen caught Fu Bai steadily with a backhand.
At the same time, 748’s slightly smug child’s voice rang in Fu Bai’s mind.
[Hey! I just secretly scanned Chen Lan's body, and guess what I found?]
[The aura of a heartthrob!]
Chen Lan is actually blessed with a "heartthrob" aura!
No wonder so many people in the original story were infatuated with him, even willing to bang their heads against walls for him!
