Chapter 207: Learning to Swim
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hai Tang was a little worried that Gu Yun would be sad. After all, Gu Yun had already wet his clothes in the water to teach her and was waiting for her in the water. It was not good for her to suddenly change her mind.
However, Hai Tang was truly a little afraid. In her last resort, she gritted her teeth and moved closer to the pool, trying to comfort Gu Yun.” Gu Yun, listen to my explanation. I didn’t mean to trick you into going into the water…”
Gu Yun sighed softly. Without waiting for Hai Tang to finish speaking, he stretched out his two long arms and passed them under her armpits, scooping Hai Tang into the water.
“I… Ah!” Hai Tang was racking her brains to explain to Gu Yun when her body suddenly jumped into the water and she subconsciously screamed.
Seeing that Hai Tang was still screaming after being carried into the swimming pool, Gu Yun had no choice but to press her whole body into his arms and hug her. He said helplessly,” Stretch your feet. The water is not as high as you.”
After a wave of coldness passed through her body and she entered a firm and warm embrace, Hai Tang realized that she was perfectly fine in the water and had not drowned.
Gu Yun helped her to stand firm in the water. Then, he lowered his head and leaned closer to her.
Hai Tang stood up straight in the water and could still breathe with her head above the water. When she thought about how she had wanted to escape because of this depth, Hai Tang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She turned her head away, embarrassed to look at Gu Yun.” Uh, it really doesn’t seem to be deep,” she replied.
In order to regain her dignity, Hai Tang said awkwardly,”l’ve never learned how to swim. I’m afraid…” It’s very normal!”
“Yes, that’s right.” Gu Yun did not expose her but answered obediently.
Gu Yun held Hai Tang’s hands and led her underwater for a few laps. When Hai Tang felt that her body had adapted to the temperature of the pool, Gu Yun said,” I’ll start teaching you how to swim. I’ll swim one lap for you to see.”
As he spoke, Gu Yun brought her to the side of the pool and gestured for her to hold the armrest by the pool. He was about to let go of Hai Tang’s hand to demonstrate.
However, the moment Gu Yun let go, Hai Tang felt that she had no support or sense of security in the water by herself. When the waves moved, her face turned pale and she subconsciously leaned towards Gu Yun.
Hai Tang clung to Gu Yun’s body like an octopus. When she felt Gu Yun’s body stiffen, Hai Tang quickly got off him again. However, she still grabbed his hand and said softly,” Don’t let go of me. I’m a little scared.”
It was rare to hear Hai Tang’s coquettish and soft tone, and Gu Yun’s heart immediately softened a lot.
Although he knew that he had to let Hai Tang swim alone in the water without relying on the help of others to truly learn how to swim, in order to teach her, he had to be ruthless and let go.
But when he saw the pleading look in Hai Tang’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel pity for her.
“Okay, I won’t let go of you. I’ll hold your waist. Try this action first.” Gu Yun said gently.
Then, he began to support Hai Tang while teaching her how to swim.
Under Gu Yun’s protection, Hai Tang felt much safer and gradually began to learn how to swim.
Gu Yun had once attended a swimming class taught by a professional swimming teacher. He remembered the posture and key points of strength when swimming very clearly and taught them all to Hai Tang.
Hai Tang learned very seriously. With Gu Yun’s help and occasional correction, she was actually able to splash around in the water very quickly.
“Gu Yun, look, I can swim on the spot for a long time now!” Hai Tang waved her hands and feet as she said happily.
This time, the feeling she felt when she swam was much better than the previous times when Gu Yun held her and let her swim on the spot.
“Impressive.” Gu Yun nodded and praised.
“Although I’m still far from being able to swim properly, I think…” Hai Tang said cheerfully. She realized that once she grasped the correct key points of exerting force, swimming in the water was not tiring at all.
“Didn’t you notice that I wasn’t holding you just now?” Gu Yun interrupted her and said with a smile.
Only then did Hai Tang realize that Gu Yun’s hand, which had been on her waist to stabilize her and assist her, had unknowingly loosened.
In other words, she was completely relying on her own swimming movements to float on the surface of the water.
Hai Tang was shocked and almost choked on a mouthful of water. She quickly steadied her body according to what Gu Yun had taught her..
