☆、Seventeen、A Landlubber Falls into the Water (2219 words)
Li Yaxi followed Feng Zihao into the classroom, and then the classroom fell silent instantly. Zhan Xiaoyu shouted at Li Yaxi, "Li Yaxi, what kind of monster are you from?!"
Li Yaxi blinked in confusion, her expression incredibly cute. "The moon, didn't we come from the moon together? You forgot, isn't your catchphrase 'I will destroy you in the name of the moon'?"
It took her a few seconds to process what Li Yaxi had said. She said "you" three times in a row, but then she couldn't continue and sat back down in her seat, feeling dejected.
Li Yaxi was about to tease him a bit more when the homeroom teacher walked in. A while later, she learned the reason why Zhan Xiaoyu had acted crazy so early in the morning: he had gotten first place in the grade again.
Feng Zihao looked at him with pride in his eyes, while Zhou Yang was extremely gloomy. During the three months that Li Yaxi was away, he buried himself in books every day, hoping to take this opportunity to beat Li Yaxi. Although it was a bit unfair to win, the result... how could he not be frustrated? Moreover, Li Yaxi was more than ten points ahead of him! His resentment grew even stronger. Li Yaxi, what planet are you from?!
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Although B City was much cooler than W City, Li Yaxi was still so hot that she lay on her desk, not wanting to move. Feng Zihao found it amusing that Li Yaxi was practically sticking her tongue out to cool down; why was this little one so afraid of the heat! When the sports committee member announced that the next PE class would be at the swimming pool, the whole class erupted in excitement.
Some students even shouted, "Teacher, you are so humane, you are practically our God!" For those who are about to enter their second year of high school, time is no more than that of the third year, and it is a race against time.
Li Yaxi sighed inwardly. Swimming class… he'd rather soak in the spiritual spring in his space. The water outside was dirty, and the boys were all covered in sweat, like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Li Yaxi had a severe case of mysophobia when it came to these things, so he absolutely refused to go into the water later.
When Li Yaxi came out after changing into her swim trunks, everyone was utterly stunned. Her entire body was incredibly fair, and even under the bright sun, her skin tone was so even it looked like she hadn't tanned at all. Everyone present had a chest that was paler than their arms, and thighs that were paler than their calves. But Li Yaxi wasn't just fair-skinned; she also had an exceptional figure. She was very thin, but not bony; her muscles were clearly defined, especially her flat yet slightly toned abdomen, the subtle lines of which aroused a physical reaction in some people. Her legs were also fair, long, and straight. Not to mention the men, at least no woman's legs could rival hers.
Feng Zihao was stunned for a few seconds before quickly wrapping himself in a large bath towel. He wasn't so generous as to show off his precious possession to others.
Wrapped in a bath towel, Li Yaxi glanced around listlessly. Sigh, they were all young, muscular bodies; except for a few, there wasn't much to see. Those few included Feng Zihao, of course. Years of training, coupled with Li Yaxi's daily apple feeding, had given him a tanned, glowing complexion and a very masculine, upright physique. Li Yaxi particularly liked his small eight-pack abs—not the overly prominent kind, but rather possessing a youthful, sunny freshness.
Of those present, only Feng Zihao could probably compare to Li Yaxi in terms of figure. Even Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhao Yi, who also trained every day, were a step behind. Who told them they didn't have apples?
Their class had swimming lessons with students from Class 3. There was a girl in Class 3 with a fantastic figure; even in high school, when everyone is still developing, she was already so stunning, giving a glimpse into her future potential. Crucially, her face was also quite beautiful. If it weren't for Li Yaxi, that alien creature, that girl's skin would be the envy of everyone.
Li Yaxi, sitting by the flower bed, nudged Feng Zihao next to her. "Hey Zihao, look at that girl! What's her name again, she's from Class 3? I heard she's the school beauty, wow, she has a really nice figure."
Following Li Yaxi's directions, Feng Zihao looked over. Hmm, her figure is quite good. Very good. He added her to his list of people to be kept away! Especially since Li Yaxi actually praised her and knew she was the school beauty, this made her even more important!
As for Li Yaxi, she was quite satisfied with Feng Zihao's expression. He certainly wasn't interested in girls, but that didn't mean other girls weren't interested in him. That so-called school beauty had probably cast her gaze on Feng Zihao for the umpteenth time. He could compete with other men, but with women… he really couldn't bring himself to steal a man from a woman; it would be too embarrassing. It was better to isolate him as soon as possible.
Knowing Feng Zihao as he did, if he were to show interest in any woman, that person would undoubtedly be categorized as an enemy by Feng Zihao. Excellent, nip any budding romance in the bud, leaving no survivors!
Feng Zihao harbored even deeper resentment towards Li Yaxi, who still had her eyes on that girl. This wasn't an official road, and she had walked back and forth more than ten times. Wasn't this blatant seduction?
When Feng Zihao saw that Li Yaxi even wanted to ask her for her phone number, he glared at her mercilessly. Very well, she stopped bothering Li Yaxi and the world became much quieter.
The teacher gave a brief explanation of swimming techniques and precautions, then let everyone have free time. Since the pool wasn't big and there were many students, he figured nothing would happen as long as he was watching. Once dismissed, Li Yaxi found a shady spot to rest.
"Oh, is our Li Yaxi a landlubber? Why is she just lying here flat? Why don't she go into the water and have some fun?"
He looked up at Zhan Xiaoyu, who was teasing him, and raised an eyebrow. "That's right, I'm a terrible swimmer, so what? You think you're a great swimmer? Why didn't you win a medal at the Olympics? Even a bronze would be fine."
Finally, he found a place where he could surpass Li Yaxi, but unexpectedly, in an area he was unfamiliar with, she still managed to refute him without giving him a chance to speak. "Hmph! Fine, I won't argue with a landlubber like you. Come on, let me teach you how to swim." With that, he pulled Li Yaxi towards the edge of the pool.
Li Yaxi quickly broke free from him, "Stop it, I really won't swim, I was wrong, okay?"
He hadn't even done anything yet, and Li Yaxi was already admitting her mistake—this was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence! Seeing his determined expression, as if he absolutely refused to go into the water, she stopped teasing him. "What? You're not afraid of water, are you? A man should overcome his fears. I'll teach you, I really won't tease you."
Li Yaxi shook her head. "I don't want to. It's filthy. Look at that pool. It doesn't look like a swimming pool at all. I only see a pot of dumplings cooking in it. I'm not going to join in the fun."
Li Yaxi was about to walk back when Zhou Yang and a boy walked over. "Xiaoyu-ge, Yaxi, why aren't you guys going swimming?"
Just as they approached, before Zhan Xiaoyu could even speak, the boy who had come with Zhou Yang suddenly slipped and fell, accidentally pushing Li Yaxi, who then fell into the swimming pool without warning.
