Chapter 97 Shaken
From Xie Wenyu's angle, she could just see a small, irregular, light red birthmark on her waistline.
It looks particularly attractive against her fair and delicate skin, just like the red bean filling peeking out from a soft and glutinous rice cake.
It makes people want to... take a bite.
Xie Wenyu helped her slowly into the water.
The swimming pool is kept at a constant temperature, so it's not cold when you jump in suddenly.
But Yu Zhi subconsciously shrank back, and was gently hugged by Xie Wenyu.
"Zhizhi, are you cold?" Sheng Jiayi jumped down. "My body is warm, so you won't be cold if I hold you."
Yu Zhi shook her head, "I'm not cold, don't worry about me."
She looked again and said, "Where's Zhiyu? Isn't he coming?"
"Brother Yu..." Sheng Jiayi thought about Qiao Zhiyu's condition today and hesitated, "It seems he won't come."
He was the one who informed Qiao Zhiyu about this matter, but at that time the other party did not express whether he wanted to participate in this activity.
Although Sheng Jiayi felt bad when he saw his brother was hurt in love.
But in the end, I am more fortunate that there is one less strong competitor.
So he didn't try to persuade the other party, but started thinking about how to make himself look sexier when the time comes.
He actually figured out a solution.
Sheng Jiayi didn't bring swimming trunks on this trip, so he went to the shopping area inside the hotel to buy them.
There were many styles of men's swimming trunks, and he glanced over some of the conservative and baggy ones with disdain.
Finally, I stopped at the tightest pair of stretch fabric swimming trunks.
Sheng Jiayi decisively checked out and went out, but ran into Xie Wenyu who also came to buy swimming trunks.
He hid the shopping bag in his hand behind him and said, "Are you here to buy something too? There are many styles in there. The one the model is wearing is pretty good."
Xie Wenyu raised his eyebrows and looked over, and found that the model was wearing a conservative two-layer swimming trunks.
The inner layer is tight for swimming, and the outer layer is loose to provide privacy.
"Which one did you buy?" He turned his gaze back to the bag in Sheng Jiayi's hand.
Sheng Jiayi said dryly, "It's the one the model is wearing. Trust me, it's the right bag!"
"Okay, then I'll buy that one too." Xie Wenyu agreed.
Sheng Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, then hurried away with a guilty conscience.
Then the two of them came to the swimming pool in advance.
As soon as the bathrobe was taken off, Sheng Jiayi complained like a deceived villain: "Didn't you buy that one?!"
Xie Wenyu glanced at the other man's swimming trunks, wearing the same style, with a hint of meaning. "Didn't you buy the same style?"
Sheng Jiayi: ...
He could only touch his nose awkwardly and pretend that nothing had happened.

In the swimming pool.
Xie Wenyu is teaching Yu Zhi how to swim.
He is a very good teacher with a gentle temper and good teaching methods.
He gently supported Yu Zhi's body, making sure she wouldn't sink, and then patiently corrected her movements.
Only after she was able to swim a few meters did Xie Wenyu's hand gradually move away from her lower abdomen.
He stealthily moved his fingertips to the light red birthmark that he wanted to bite, and rubbed it twice inadvertently.
Everything was just as he had envisioned when he suggested going swimming.
Except for Sheng Jiayi who swam two laps in a showy manner and then came to Yu Zhi to ask for praise, and then showed off his chest and abdominal muscles too obviously.
After Yu Zhi successfully swam a circle slowly, she looked up and found that—
Qiao Zhiyu came up at some point.
However, he didn't seem to have any intention of swimming. He sat on a lounge chair in his daily clothes, looking at the people in the swimming pool with a serious look.
Yu Zhi met his gaze, but did not greet him as she did before.
After swimming down, Qiao Zhiyu still didn't say a word, as if he had completely become a background board.

Rest the next day.
Several people had dinner together in the hotel restaurant.
Recently, Yu Zhi often has the robot deliver food to her room, and only comes out to eat occasionally.
After finding a seat and sitting down, I saw Wei Yuan walk in.
Ever since Xie Wenyu and the others treated him like a thief last time, Wei Yuan never took the initiative to contact her in person again, and only sent her a few messages.
However, given Wei Yuan's personality, it is likely that his identity is not suitable during the league and he does not want to affect her.
Since they happened to meet, Yu Zhi also greeted him with a smile.
Wei Yuan walked over with a smile, but saw Chen Wang wiping Yu Zhi's hands intimately, and then peeling shrimp for her.
It has clearly gone beyond the scope of normal communication.
And he keenly noticed that after just two days of not seeing each other, there seemed to be a big change between Chen Wang and Zhi Zhi.
The two of them became more intimate and familiar with each other, as if... they had already done something more intimate than this.
Not only that, Xie Wenyu and Sheng Jiayi next to them also became a little different.
If I were to use a metaphor, it would be like two male peacocks, dressed up in gorgeous colors and competing with each other, spreading their feathers vigorously in order to attract a mate.
These thoughts flashed through Wei Yuan's mind in a mess, and he walked towards Yu Zhi without stopping.
But after a few words, he left in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The plan that I had made in my mind before began to waver as if it were hit by an irresistible landslide.
If... if Zhizhi really fell in love with the teammate she spent every day with, then it seemed like he had no way to deal with it.
They were younger than she was, had more time to spend with her, and could pursue her passionately.
But he could only hide these shameful thoughts with difficulty, like a gambler at the end of his rope, placing all his hopes on the intelligent computer to be kind enough to match Zhizhi with him.

The day of the individual competition, where the top 4 will be played, has finally arrived.
In addition to deciding the top two spots today, the two losers will also compete for third place.
It is still a random draw on site.
The teachers and students of the Central Military Academy were all waiting nervously for the announcement of the matching list.
If the three students from the Central Military Academy had not made it to the semi-finals, they might not have been so nervous.
But the fear is that if Qiao Zhiming really wins the championship by defeating three opponents, the Central Military Academy will lose face.
At least in the next few years, they will not be able to hold their heads up in front of the Empire's First Military Academy.
"Xie Wenyu versus Qiao Zhiyu."
"Qiao Zhiming versus Chen Wang."
The announcement sounded in time with the list on the big screen.
The teachers at the Central Military Academy who knew Chen Wang's strength were relieved, but the audience on Starnet started discussing it.
[Is Chen Wang from the Federation's Shen family? Why haven't I heard of him before?]
[Back upstairs, he's not from the Shen family, he's from a commoner family.]
Qiao Zhiming was very lucky, facing the weakest of the three. The two stronger ones were about to fight and consume each other.
[It won't cost anything, it must be just another civil war for show.]
[Hey, I feel like Chen Wang is pretty good... He seemed to win his previous matches pretty easily...]
[That's because the opponents I faced were worse. I only got through the 7-to-4 round due to a bye. Making it to the semifinals was pure luck!]
