Chapter 1213: Chapter 1214: What?
Lin Yifan’s heart raced; it was his first ti holding a mber of the opposite sex with no defined relationship, and his emotions were understandably complex.
Li Xiangi, leaning against Lin Yifan’s chest, could clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat.
She secretly rejoiced, surprised that this guy who feared nothing could actually be shy, it was quite unexpected.
“Big fool!”
She couldn’t help but tease.
“What?”
Lin Yifan’s body had been tense, his mind blank, so he didn’t hear clearly what Li Xiangi said, only vaguely hearing her voice.
“Nothing!”
Li Xiangi secretly rejoiced, not sharing her excitent with Lin Yifan.
Since they were quite close to the seaside, Lin Yifan quickly stepped into the ocean.
Once he reached a suitable water depth, he put down Li Xiangi, letting her lie face down to float on the water’s surface.
Li Xiangi tiptoed a bit shyly, not daring to comply.
Lin Yifan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Li, is it the water depth or the waves that make you afraid to lie face down?”
“Neither,” Li Xiangi answered.
“Then what is it?” Lin Yifan asked.
“Can I lie on my back?”
“Do you want to learn backstroke? If so, that’s okay too,” Lin Yifan responded.
“Backstroke?”
“What’s up, Miss Li, do you want to learn backstroke or so other type of swimming?”
Lin Yifan asked curiously, unsure why Li Xiangi was hesitating.
From his tone, it was clear Lin Yifan was quite impatient. If she didn’t give a clear answer soon, he might not teach her.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiangi gritted her teeth and decided to practice swimming, answering, “I want to learn both.”
Lin Yifan hadn’t expected this answer from Li Xiangi; if she wanted to learn both, why was she so hesitant? Was she treating him as an outsider?
Considering how overthinking was pointless, he suggested, “Learn other types of swimming first, then backstroke won’t be hard, so let’s start with freestyle.”
“Okay! I’ll follow Mr. Lin’s instructions,” Li Xiangi replied obediently.
This made Lin Yifan pause, surprised at how obedient Li Xiangi had suddenly beco, which was indeed rare.
“Alright then, lie face down and float on the sea surface. I’ll hold your stomach later so you won’t sink.”
“Alright!”
Li Xiangi did as Lin Yifan instructed, relaxed her body, lay face down on the sea surface, lifted her head, and waited for Lin Yifan’s next direction.
Lin Yifan supported Li Xiangi.
The buoyancy greatly alleviated the gravity, and he didn’t need to use much effort to hold her up.
Li Xiangi was eager to learn swimming, not wanting to pause even for a mont.
“Alright! Alright!”
After calming down, he gave the next instructions.
“Now let’s teach you the upper body swimming. Upper body swimming is very simple, first with your right hand, move across the surface, then switch to your left hand, then right hand again, and keep alternating.”
Li Xiangi followed Lin Yifan’s instructions, but her actions didn’t match the effect he intended.
What she did was high-frequency dog paddling, frantically splashing at the water surface like an inexperienced animal flailing in the water.
Lin Yifan shouted, “Stop!!!”
“Did you learn that action from soone?”
“That’s how Xiao Qing swims! She’s super fast usually!” Li Xiangi replied.
Every sumr when it got unbearably hot, Xiao Qing would always go swimming at the pool.
Although she didn’t swim often, Li Xiangi frequently watched Xiao Qing swim from the chairs by the shore. Over ti, Xiao Qing’s moves left a strong impression.
So when she heard Lin Yifan’s instructions, she thought of those moves, thinking she was absolutely right.
“Pfft!”
Lin Yifan couldn’t suppress his laughter, then explained, “The correct swimming technique isn’t like that, the speed of switching hands should be slower, at the rate you’re going, you’d be exhausted in minutes, not even talking about long-distance swimming.”
“Really? Then what’s the correct way to swim?”
Li Xiangi was slightly embarrassed, not expecting to ss up right away.
Actions speak louder than words, so Lin Yifan demonstrated to Li Xiangi personally.
Li Xiangi stood in the sea, not wanting to miss a single fra of Lin Yifan’s demonstration.
After watching, she realized how ridiculous her mistake was.
“Did you learn it?”
Lin Yifan swam back to ask.
“Learned it!”
Li Xiangi answered confidently.
“Then swim once more for to see!”
“Okay!”
Then, Li Xiangi followed Lin Yifan’s previous swimming style imdiately.
