Chapter 49 Swimming Pool Incident

  Because of an ice cream, Tang Xiaoyu began to pay special attention to Fang Qing. She even refunded her train ticket and called her father to say that she would stay at the Wen family for a few more days.

  Wen Ling was unhappy when she heard the news, but Wen Ning was fine, as he just treated it as a way to appease the child. But Wen's mother was very excited. After all, the Tang family worked in the province, and having a good relationship with them would only benefit her son in the future.

  It happened that Wen Ling and her friends had finished their exams and it was summer vacation, so Wen's mother asked the siblings to take Tang Xiaoyu around the county.

  But Tang Xiaoyu was used to the scenery of big cities, and in her opinion, this backward small town was really nothing to see. After walking around for several days, she finally asked Wen Ning to take her swimming.

  Tang Xiaoyu had liked Wen Ning since she was a child and vowed to marry Brother Ning when she grew up. Although she had told Wen Ning about it before, Wen Ning's attitude showed that he didn't take it seriously at all.

  But Tang Xiaoyu wasn't worried. After all, there weren't many girls as beautiful and talented as her. As long as she stayed by Brother Ning's side, he'd fall for her sooner or later.

  But now, Fang Qing's appearance finally made her feel a sense of crisis.

  This girl, Fang Qing, was not only beautiful but also kind. No matter how much she challenged her, she always smiled calmly and patiently solved her problems. What worried her most was Brother Ning's attitude. She had never seen him so gentle with anyone other than her. She wanted to see who this Fang Qing was!
  Seeing Wen Ning carefully pulling Fang Qing into the water from a distance, Tang Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer. She ran over and broke their clasped hands. "Brother Ning, didn't you say you were going to teach me how to swim? Shall we start? Oops, Fang Qing, are you okay?"

  Fang Qing had barely stepped into the pool when Tang Xiaoyu pushed her away. She stumbled back a few steps and fell into the pool, choking on a mouthful of water. Fortunately, a nearby girl pulled her up, and she was fine.

  Although Fang Qing was annoyed, she couldn't say anything seeing Tang Xiaoyu's innocent face. She waved her hands weakly and said, "No, it's okay. You guys go have fun. I'll adapt myself."

  Wen Ning wanted to come over to check it out, but was dragged away by Tang Xiaoyu.

  Fang Qing lay on the shore and coughed for a long time before returning to normal. Seeing others swimming freely in the water, Fang Qing was really envious.

  She was a landlubber and had wanted to learn to swim for a long time, but never had the chance. This time Wen Ling asked her to come along, and she was delighted and determined to learn it.

  People who learn to swim must first learn to float. Fang Qing recalled the books she had read in the past two days and tried to float by herself by sticking to the edge of the pool according to the methods mentioned above. However, swimming is not a math problem. Even if her brain knows how to do it, it is difficult for her limbs to coordinate. Fang Qing tried many times but couldn't float.

  Just as she was feeling discouraged, a young man approached her. "Hello, do you need help? You can't learn like this. It's better to have someone lead you. Just like them, you learn faster and it's safer."

  Fang Qing turned around and saw that every beginner had a dedicated instructor beside them, teaching them how to float, how to breathe, and correcting their movements. Fang Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She seemed a little different, huddled in a corner of the pool practicing alone.

  Seeing Fang Qing seem a little embarrassed, the young man smiled brightly, revealing his adorable little fangs. "If you don't mind, I'm free right now, so I can teach you. It's better than just figuring it out on your own."

  Fang Qing was surprised by the young man's easygoing nature and smiled gratefully. "Will this be too much trouble for you? I'm not very good at sports, so please don't get angry later."

  The young man was distracted by her smile and quickly jumped into the water without hearing what she said. "Hey, it's okay. No one is born with the ability. Come, grab this board and follow my instructions."

  Seeing the young man's trusting eyes, Fang Qing suddenly felt confident. He carefully grabbed the float in front of him, took a deep breath, and dived into the water.

  Fang Qing could only see the young man's feet, and his voice, transmitted through the water, gradually let go of his nervousness and awkwardness, and slowly adjusted to the water. As the young man swam deeper, Fang Qing felt himself floating. Excited and confident, he followed the boy's instructions and tried to slide his feet, making small movements through the water.

  Seeing her rapid learning, the young man quietly stepped aside, letting her try paddling forward using both her hands and feet. After paddling for a while, Fang Qing actually managed to swim quite far. She smiled excitedly, "Thank you so much! I actually learned it."

  The young man suddenly couldn't bring himself to look directly at Fang Qing, who was like a lotus emerging from the water. He coughed and turned his head away. "It's okay, you're smart. Just practice a few more times, and I'll teach you how to breathe, and you should be able to do it."

  Fang Qing nodded, took a deep breath, and dove back into the water.

  Watching this from afar, Wen Ning frowned. He felt the young man's gaze at Fang Qing on the shore was too direct, and Fang Qing was actually smiling at him. Didn't she know her smile could be misinterpreted?

  Watching Tang Xiaoyu swimming effortlessly beside him, Wen Ning felt he could withdraw. Fang Qing's previous moves were far from perfect, and he needed to correct them.

  Just as he was about to ask Tang Xiaoyu to practice on her own, a scream suddenly came from not far away. Wen Ning turned around and saw Fang Qing, who had just been swimming on the surface, struggling in the deep water!

  It was bad!

  Wen Ning let go of Tang Xiaoyu and dived into the water, swimming towards the splashing water.

  At the same time, the young man also noticed Fang Qing's abnormality and quickly jumped into the water. As soon as he swam to the front, he saw a handsome man holding Fang Qing up. The man took a look at him and quickly took the man back to the shore.

  The young man felt a little guilty and hurried back to the shore.

  Wen Ning carried Fang Qing to the shore, placed her on his knees, and pushed her hard with his knees a few times. Fang Qing spit out a large mouthful of water and then began to cough violently.

  Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief and patted her back gently until Fang Qing's breathing returned to normal. He took the blanket handed over by the person next to him, wrapped her tightly, picked her up and put her on the bench on the shore.

  Looking at the frail Fang Qing, Wen Ning couldn't understand why he was so angry and couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson, "How are you? Are you feeling better? You said you were a beginner, yet you dared to swim into the deep water? You're so brave! You didn't see anything, and yet you got into such a big trouble. You're amazing, Fang Qing..."

  Fang Qing was also a little scared at this time. Seeing Wen Ning's serious face, she could only lower her head and listen to the lecture honestly.

  Hearing the commotion here, Wen Ling hurried over. Seeing Fang Qing's pale face, she was shocked. She squatted down and held Fang Qing's cold hand, asking repeatedly, "Qingqing, are you okay? How did you choke on the water? You scared me to death! Brother, didn't you say you would teach Qingqing to swim? How did you let someone choke on the water?"
