Chapter 572: Since When Have I Asked for Shares? (1)
Her damp hair was stuck to her body. Her fair shoulders that were exposed above the water seemed to glow under the sunlight. The way she looked when she yearned to step out of her comfort zone while also being as timid as a mouse was so adorable.
Si Zhengting’s lips curled into a smile as he slowly approached her.

Having grown up in Beijing, she was one of those Northern landlubbers. In actual fact, she was very interested in swimming.
It was just that she had never had the chance to go to a swimming pool due to her family’s circ.u.mstances. Furthermore, the Northern parts of the country were especially p.r.o.ne to droughts. Hence, she had not had the chance to learn swimming.
The only chance she had was in high school. The school had offered swimming lessons. However, there was a male perverted teacher who loved to touch girls, so she barely attended those lessons.
However, not knowing how to swim did not hinder her determination to swim!
Among the housekeepers, she found someone who was from the Southern part of the country and knew how to swim to teach her swimming, and she was in the water now!
“Madam, try holding your breath and stretch out your arms so that you can float. We need to learn how to float first…”
Zhuang Nainai complied and stretched out her arms, but she was still holding on to the sides nervously. “Am I too heavy? Why can’t I float?”
The housekeeper couldn’t help but laugh. “Your body is too stiff. You need to relax. Take another deep breath. Madam, you have to let go of the sides! How can you relax when you are holding on to it so tightly?!”
“No, no, no. What if I drown when I let go?” Zhuang Nainai answered so confidently that the housekeeper was speechless.
Thereafter, she began playing in the water while being extremely careful.
The housekeeper, who was standing at the pool deck, noted that she was just playing with water and not actually swimming!
Then, Zhuang Nainai suddenly heard the housekeeper say, “Mr. Si.”
She turned around to see Si Zhengting standing at the pool deck, staring at her with his dark eyes and an unpredictable expression.
Zhuang Nainai grinned at him. Si Zhengting glanced at her. “You want to learn swimming?”
Zhuang Nainai nodded immediately. “The family doctor said that I shouldn’t just sit around all day even though I’m pregnant. It would be best if I can do a little bit of exercise. Swimming is good too.”
Si Zhengting acknowledged her words nonchalantly before saying, “Let me teach you.”
Let him teach her?
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes lit up as she beamed. “Sure, sure!”
Si Zhengting shot the housekeeper a glance and the housekeeper scurried off.
Only the two of them were left at the swimming pool. Si Zhengting walked toward the changing room while Zhuang Nainai started to play with water in boredom. When she turned around again, she saw Si Zhengting walking out with a bare torso as he was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks.
She was completely dazed.
This was the first time she had seen him like this so clearly in the day and particularly while she was in high spirits.
She could not help but notice that Si Zhengting’s body seemed more alluring as compared to five years ago.
Five years ago, he was still a teen, so his body was slimmer. However, now, his evenly sculpted abs looked perfect. After he splashed some water on himself, the water droplets slid down, following the lines of his body. He was definitely one of those people who looked slim with clothes on but toned with clothes off!
Zhuang Nainai stared at him intently. Smitten, she couldn’t help but swallow and think about how lucky she was.
While she was still in a trance, she heard a splash. Thereafter, she watched as he swam toward her agilely. When he reached her side, Zhuang Nainai could feel the water around her flowing vigorously.
