Chapter 184: Sniper Learn!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A trip to the pool had three of them blus.h.i.+ng. Only Xiang Huai remained calm as though nothing had happened.
Just as Xue Xi was about to suffocate, Xiang Huai released her. The two of them climbed out of the water and stood up straight to speak.
Xue Xi frowned. “You don’t know how to swim?”
Xiang Huai nodded. “Mhm. Are you going to teach me?”
Xue Xi silently complained in her heart. Indeed, he did not know anything other than dating. He was just a gigolo!
She sighed and comforted him. “Don’t feel inferior. Learn well.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
Xue Xi continued to ask, “But why did you kiss me just now?”
Xiang Huai fell silent for a moment. Little kid, you really don’t have any romantic cells. To think that you would ask such a question. However, Xiang Huai, who was already prepared to speak, slowly said, “I was almost out of breath. I wanted a mouthful of air from you. I saw that this was how it’s done on television shows. I just needed a breath.”
“Is that so?”
Just now, the other party had sucked away all the breath in her mouth, so she did not feel anything. But even after she’d heard his explanation, she was still a little confused. “Is this alright?”
Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the little kid say, “Let’s do it again. Help me vent my breath. I’ll see if I can replace yours.”
“…Okay.”
There was a smile in Xiang Huai’s eyes. He then saw Xue Xi sink into the water, and he too…
Half a minute later, the two of them came out of the water again. Xiang Huai asked, “Did you feel it?”
Xue Xi shook her head. “No.”
Xiang Huai held her shoulders, preparing to resume their activities in the water. “Let’s continue, then.”
“…”
Even after several tries, Xue Xi still did not manage to exchange breaths. In the end, she stood up straight and said, “The television is full of lies!”
Xiang Huai: “Yes, little kid. Are you going to teach me how to swim next?”
Xue Xi: “…Sure.”
Following that—
“Don’t hug my waist!”
Xiang Huai: “I’m afraid of drowning. It’s too scary in the water. I feel too insecure.”
“…”
“If you relax, you’ll float.”
“I can’t relax in front of you.”
“…”
When Qin Shuang and Cen Bai heard the various words, their awkward expressions became even more awkward. After a while, Cen Bai asked, “Are you still afraid of water?”
Qin Shuang shook her head. “No.”
Cen Bai smiled and said in a low voice, “Let’s go up and rest for a while.”
“Sure.”
The two of them walked out of the pool. Qin Shuang’s eyes were glued to Cen Bai. Cen Bai said, “Let’s go to the rest area outside to wait for them.”
“Ah, alright, alright.” Qin Shuang, who was engrossed in his beauty, followed behind Cen Bai.
After leaving the swimming pool, they had to take a hot shower and change clothes before going to the lounge. Qin Shuang had taken two steps to follow him when Cen Bai suddenly stopped and looked at her. “Student, do you want to shower with me?”
Only then did Qin Shuang realize that she had actually followed Cen Bai into the male changing room!
Fortunately, the pool was booked today. Otherwise…
Qin Shuang rushed out with a red face and entered the female changing room.
When the two of them had been leaving, they’d informed Xue Xi. Xue Xi then taught Xiang Huai for a while. But he still could not learn how to swim. He was always afraid whenever he entered the water and would hug her tightly. Seeing that, she sighed. “Let’s end it here today!”
She brought Xiang Huai to the side and climbed out of the pool. Just as Xue Xi was about to go change, Xiang Huai suddenly grabbed her arm, causing her to turn around and b.u.mp into his chest.
Both of them were dressed very scantily. When they b.u.mped into each other, Xue Xi could feel his body turning cold. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the man say, “Little kid, it’s Sat.u.r.day today. We won’t meet tomorrow.”
Xue Xi: “…So?”
Xiang Huai lowered his head. “You made me strictly abide by the love agreement. This is the kiss for this week…”
He had just finished speaking when he kissed her.
…
…
During her shower, Xue Xi rubbed her swollen lips in frustration.
She had said that she would kiss him once a week, but she had never expected that a single kiss could last for such a long time!
By the time she had finished showering and arrived at the lounge, she saw Xiang Huai dressed in a black s.h.i.+rt. The hem was tucked into his belt, making his waist look even better.
Xue Xi subconsciously stared at him for a while before retracting her gaze. She then tried her best to drive away the image that flashed across her mind. It was as if her fingers could still feel the lines of that waist…
No, no…
Hence, when Qin Shuang rushed to her, she heard Xue Xi mumbling softly. When she listened carefully, she realized that the other party was memorizing the essay. “…If you do not climb a high mountain, you will not comprehend the highest of the heavens; if you do not look down into a deep valley, you will not know the depth of the earth; and if you do not hear the words handed down from the ancient kings, you will not understand the greatness of learning…”
Yes, this sentence was too right. It was as though she did not look at Huai’s waist. She did not know that a man’s waist was so beautiful… No, what was she thinking?
Xue Xi shook her head and recited another poem. “Ill.u.s.trious name my royal sire hath found. When Sirius did in spring its light display. A child was born, and Tiger marked the day. When first upon my face my lord’s eye glanced…”
Qin Shuang: “…”
The four of them had lunch together. In the afternoon, Cen Bai asked, “What’s your schedule?”
Xue Xi: “I want to go back and do my exercise questions.”
Cen Bai and Xiang Huai turned to look at Qin Shuang in unison.
Qin Shuang, who had recently been infected by Xue Xi, also nodded. “I also want to go back to study. The college entrance examination is coming soon!”
In order to have a chance at entering the Capital Film and Television Academy and get closer to her brother, she had to work harder!
Cen Bai and Xiang Huai: “…”
Hence, the two of them could only send the two girls back home.
That afternoon, the two girls studied in Xue Xi’s room. With Xue Xi leading her, Qin Shuang gradually entered a flow state.
She was way behind in her homework, but fortunately, her foundation was still there. Now that she was working hard, her results for the college entrance examination should not be low.
At 9 PM, Xue Xi, who had already formed a habit, picked up her phone and prepared to play games.
Bot’s game design was very good. Not only was it a test of one’s skills, but it was also a test of one’s scheming. Xue Xi was already at the level of a king, and every game she played was very interesting. It also made her want to conquer and learn.
Although Wild King had already warned her, Xue Xi felt that the country was so huge. Would she really come across a user called Sweetheart just by playing a game?
However, she didn’t take into consideration the sources of information in the eSports scene.
Having just matched up for a round and after choosing the character she wanted to play, she entered the game. The moment she entered, she saw her teammates posting it on the public chat. Even the opponent could see a line: “This is Learn. The four of us won’t move. You guys can just push ahead. After this round, everyone can take screenshots to get a hundred yuan from Sweetheart!”
Xue Xi: “?”
She frowned in displeasure.
There was no doubt that she had lost this round.
