âNo, itâs very nice.â Gu Yun came back to his senses and praised sincerely.
Then, he remembered that Hai Tang didnât seem to like him showing his body. He just rolled up his sleeves and walked to the side of the pool.â Come over.â
Hai Tang looked at the swimming pool that was as big as a swimming stadium. Her heart was a little itchy, but when she walked to the side of the pool and looked into the water, her legs went weak again.
âHow, how deep is this water?â Hai Tang swallowed her saliva and asked. âThis side is 1.6 meters deep. You can even stick your head out when you stand up. That side is 1.8 meters deep. Itâs not even as tall as me.â Gu Yun said. Hai Tang hesitated for a while and wanted to put the big swimming ring on her body, but just as she put it on, the swimming ring slid from her waist to the ground.
This swimming ring was too big for her.
Seeing this, Gu Yun picked up the swimming ring and threw it into the swimming pool. He explained,â This is specially used to play with water. It canât be used as a life-saving tool.â
âThen what should we do? Iâll go back and get a small one.â Hai Tang hesitated.
â You donât have to take it. Iâll protect you.â Gu Yun waved his hand and said.
He took off his shoes and walked slowly into the water along the steps beside the swimming pool.
Gu Yun was wearing a pair of thin and light sports pants today. He was wearing a holiday shirt. He did not take off his clothes when he entered the water.
Soon, Hai Tang saw that Gu Yunâs clothes were completely wet and stuck tightly to his body. The folds of his clothes seemed to appear according to the direction of his muscles. There was a contrast between abstinence and temptation.
Hai Tangâs eyes widened. She really wanted to ask, wouldnât Gu Yun feel uncomfortable when he went into the water with his clothes on?
However, on second thought, she felt that if she deliberately mentioned this matter, she would be suspected of hinting at Gu Yun to take off his clothes. It would seem that she was too indecent, so she still kept her mouth shut.
The 1.6 -meter-deep pool water only reached Gu Yunâs chest. After he entered the water, he moved his body briefly and walked to the side of the pool. He reached out his hand to Hai Tang and said,â Come down. Iâll catch you.â
âAlright.â Hai Tang obediently walked to the edge of the pool and squatted down, wanting to jump into the water.
However, just as she stretched out her foot to tap on the water, she quickly shrank back and said nervously,â Aiya, the water feels so deep!â
Gu Yun stood straight in the water. When he heard Hai Tang say that the water was deep, he felt helpless.
âTake your time. Thereâs no hurry.â Gu Yun comforted her.
Hai Tang mustered up her courage again and imitated the swimming stance of the sports channelâs swimming players on television, wanting to jump into the water gracefully.
However, just as she made a preparatory move, she decided to retreat.
âGu Yun.â â Iâm afraid of water,â Hai Tang said weakly with a sad face.â How aboutâ¦â I donât want to learn anymore.â
âItâs normal for people who canât swim to be afraid of water. Itâs because youâre afraid of water that you want to learn how to swim.â Gu Yun said seriously.
Seeing Hai Tangâs expression of wanting to retreat, he said seriously,â If anything happens, knowing the skill of swimming will keep you alive.â
With that, he extended a hand to Hai Tang.â Iâll pull you down. Be brave.â
Hai Tang bit her lip and looked at Gu Yunâs outstretched hand. Out of trust in him, she still placed her hand on Gu Yunâs palm.
âIâll drag you down with me.â Gu Yun said.
When she felt a force pulling her into the water from Gu Yunâs hand, Hai Tang felt an inexplicable sense of panic, as if she would be drowned in the water in the next second.
She subconsciously broke free from Gu Yunâs hand and moved her body backward to hide.
After she reacted, Hai Tang covered her face in embarrassment.â Iâ¦â Iâm not learning anymore! Gu Yun, donât worry about me!â
âAre you really not going to learn?â Gu Yun said in a deep voice.
âIâm not learning anymore.â Hai Tang said with certainty.
âJust because youâre afraid? You donât trust me?â Gu Yun asked again. â Not really. I just donât trust myself. Iâm afraid of drowning.â Hai Tang said without a care.
âYes.â Gu Yun stood in the water and looked at Hai Tang, who was moving further and further away from him.
Hai Tangâs fear of water had already surpassed the excitement of learning to swim. Atter hearing that Gu Yun seemed a little unhappy, she quietly opened a gap between her fingers and peeked at Gu Yunâs expression through the gap.
Gu Yunâs helpless and helpless eyes met hers..
