"Ready?"
Gong Ruini listened to the voice and felt increasingly terrified and creepy. She regretted not saying earlier that she’d go out to play with Erya.
Originally, she thought that Zhao Guangran was unreliable in every way, and no matter how much he fussed, he wouldn’t get Gong Tao and the others’ agreent for him to teach her swimming.
But unexpectedly, at the crucial mont, her own brother popped up. She didn’t know what he said to Gong Tao and the others, but the final result was they authorized Zhao Xuran to teach her swimming.
Zhao Xuran seed pretty reliable, but Gong Ruini was still worried in every way. Zhao Xuran had already asked many tis, and she was all sorts of flustered.
She knew very well that this area should be the shallowest around. Just seeing a few kids aged two or three playing inside, she could tell the depth.
"What exactly are you freaking out about?" Zhao Xuran couldn’t understand. Hadn’t he told Gong Ruini about the depth here? Why was she still so scared?
Zhao Guangran was swimming back and forth near them repeatedly, just to see what Gong Ruini looked like when she entered the water. But he didn’t know how many tis he had swum back and forth, and Gong Ruini stood stubbornly at the edge without going in.
What made Zhao Guangran feel even more amused was, "Ni Zi, don’t let your legs shake like that."
Zhao Guangran was proudly laughing, feeling delighted to have finally discovered sothing Gong Ruini either couldn’t do or was afraid of.
"Look at the kids around you." Zhao Xuran also wanted to laugh. To soone who didn’t know, it would seem like Gong Ruini was being forced into sothing difficult, when it was just entering a shallow water area for swimming.
Gong Ruini knew the water wasn’t deep here and that people around were watching her make a fool of herself. She should be a bit more courageous.
But sigh, never mind. Gong Ruini closed her eyes. Anyway, Zhao Xuran had demonstrated earlier that the water wasn’t deep, and even little kids were playing there. There was no reason she couldn’t manage.
As soon as she got in, Gong Ruini choked on a few gulps of water. Hey, what’s going on with this guy? Didn’t he say he would protect her?
Just as Gong Ruini was about to stand up and ask Zhao Xuran what was going on, she felt pressure from above, "Kick your legs, move your hands."
Zhao Xuran wouldn’t let Gong Ruini stand up. "You wouldn’t be worse than the little brothers and sisters around you, would you?"
Zhao Xuran had thought about using a gentle way to teach Gong Ruini how to swim, but seeing her stalling right before entering the water, he changed his mind.
Zhao Xuran worried that teaching Gong Ruini in a gentle manner might make her more spoiled, so he decided to use the thod he originally used to teach Zhao Guangran how to swim.
"No way." Gong Ruini was shocked. This guy, no matter how sneaky, at least used to cover it up.
How co today he didn’t even pretend, and just intended to let her splash around like this?
"Don’t worry, even if you cramp, you won’t drown. You’ve got two days. If you’re not good at it here, in two days when you move to an area deeper than your height, you’ll be even more scared." Zhao Xuran calmly pointed out that this was a beginner task and that it would be upgraded in two days.
No way, Gong Ruini really wanted to curse. Who learns swimming in just two days? Even if it’s just the beginner moves, doesn’t she know they are pretty hard to learn?
"Don’t waste ti, swim faster." Zhao Xuran yelled fiercely at Gong Ruini.
"Instead of complaining, why not improve your skill?"
"You said that, didn’t you, Ni Zi?" Zhao Xuran used the words Gong Ruini often used to motivate Zhao Guangran to now motivate her.
Of course, Gong Ruini rembered those words. Didn’t she often use them to comfort Zhao Guangran whenever he wouldn’t stop complaining?
She never expected those words to co back to her today. Cry, she had to cry.
No matter how ugly Gong Ruini’s facial expression was, Zhao Xuran had no intention of giving in. "You didn’t just use those words to provoke Zhao Guangran, did you?"
"Didn’t you think that it might actually suit you too?"
The reason Gong Ruini said those words in the first place was to provoke Zhao Guangran. How was she supposed to know that one day, she would have to learn sothing so difficult herself?
"Don’t stop, you’re in the water anyway, it doesn’t matter if you sweat."
"Speed up, swing your arms."
"Use force with your feet."
"Gong Ruini, you didn’t skip your als, did you?"
Gong Ruini was really about to cry. She had already been in the water for so long, and she had kicked her legs and waved her arms many tis. How could she still have any energy left?
Even though she ate quite a lot, after all that exercise, sorry, Gong Ruini could already hear her stomach growling.
"Brother Xuran, I’m hungry." Gong Ruini slowly swam to Zhao Xuran’s side, speaking pitifully.
"How long have you even been swimming? I saw you just started making so progress. Keep going." Although Zhao Xuran kept finding fault with Gong Ruini, he was actually quite satisfied with her progress.
Although she drank a few gulps of river water, if nothing unexpected happened, she should be fine swimming in a slightly deeper area the day after tomorrow.
Zhao Guangran was inwardly delighted, humming happily. Let’s see if Gong Ruini still looks down on us, thinking we would do sothing to her.
Always claiming that big brother is more reliable, co on, big brother was the one who taught him to swim. How could he not know about big brother’s way of teaching swimming, which was quite harsh?
Push the person into the water and just watch from the side. As long as there wasn’t any major issue, he would quietly watch from the bank without any intent to intervene.
As for how many gulps of river water were consud, Zhao Guangran could recall big brother’s innocent face at the ti saying, everyone drinks a few gulps when learning to swim.
Humph, and to think Gong Ruini thought she was different, that big brother would treat her gently. She never expected him to have such a strict attitude too.
"Ni Zi, why are you hungry? Didn’t you drink a few gulps of water? Haven’t had enough yet?"
"If you’re hungry, you can just lower your head and drink all you want."
There’s no way Zhao Guangran would miss the chance to ridicule Gong Ruini, showing off as much as he could from the sideline.
Gong Ruini was filled with anger. Knowing Zhao Guangran was unreliable, she never expected Zhao Xuran to be just as unreliable.
Humph, even if she couldn’t deal with Zhao Xuran, doesn’t an she couldn’t handle Zhao Guangran.
Angry and fuming, Gong Ruini stood up and prepared to march towards Zhao Guangran. If she didn’t teach Zhao Guangran a harsh lesson, this little brat wouldn’t realize why the flowers are so red.
"What, what are you doing?" Zhao Guangran wasn’t worried at all.
"Big brother, Ni Zi is breaking the rules, she’s standing up."
Zhao Guangran laughed triumphantly and quickly told on her to Zhao Xuran. Humph, did she forget she was supposed to be learning how to swim, not standing up whenever she wanted?
"Gong Ruini, you’re in the river now, not on the shore. You should be swimming," Zhao Xuran said solemnly.
Zhao Xuran had no intention of warning his little brother about his reckless behavior or reminding him. Didn’t Zhao Guangran know how narrow-minded Gong Ruini was? Right now there’s no way she could properly fight back, but once she had the chance, would she let Zhao Guangran off the hook?
However, any warning now would be pointless. Previously, this kid had already taken so many risks, swimming back and forth and provoking her.
Argh, outrageous, knowing she swims poorly, yet saying such things. Humph, never mind, if I can’t teach you a lesson in the river, there’s still the shore.
