Chapter 284 Don't tell me you can't swim!
Health? That's an anxiety for middle-aged people; young people only care about sugary drinks and the thrill of binge-watching TV shows all night.
Don't talk to young people about health. Can someone who's healthy even be called young?
Because they are young, they can be unrestrained. Barbecues with alcohol, staying up all night, and watching countless movies are all common occurrences at this age.
Not long after, a bright figure walked through the bustling crowd and headed precisely towards the juice shop.
Tang Yanning wore an exquisitely designed white lace-trimmed dress, the hem of which swayed lightly with her steps, revealing her fair and shapely calves.
She wore light makeup, her long hair was loosely tied up, and a few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks. In the afterglow of the setting sun, she seemed to have a soft-focus filter on her.
As she walked, she attracted the gazes of countless lecherous old men, but she kept her eyes fixed on them. In her usually bright and lively eyes, only the figure standing at the entrance of the juice shop was clearly reflected at that moment.
She had liked him since her first year of high school, but she never expressed it and always treated him as a close friend.
"Hehe, Yezi! Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Tang Yanning stopped in front of him, her smile dazzling. She pointed to the signboard and said, "What would you like to drink? It's on me today!" Her tone was familiar and generous.
Ye Fan looked at her, then glanced at the several heartbroken old lechers around them, and couldn't help but laugh: "No, I invited you, of course it's on me. What would you like to drink?"
Tang Yanning didn't hesitate and pointed to the menu: "I want that! Watermelon juice!"
Ye Fan smiled knowingly and said to the clerk, "One glass of watermelon juice with ice, and one... um, fresh orange juice, please."
He knew that Tang Yanning loved the refreshing sweetness of watermelon juice.
"Ye Zi understands me best!" Tang Yanning smiled, her eyes crinkling like a satisfied little fox.
Her vivaciousness and outgoing nature are just a facade; she possesses a clear sense of propriety.
She can be passionate and sweet to those she likes; but to those she doesn't like, even if she's all smiles and laughter on the surface, there's always a layer of icy distance between them in her heart.
The two of them, holding refreshingly cold juice, strolled aimlessly along the tree-lined paths of the campus. The orange-red sunset cast dappled light and shadows through the gaps in the leaves.
They each shared some fun things that had happened to them recently.
However, in Nanjing in September, the evening heat was still thick and sticky.
The icy juice was quickly emptied, and the sweltering heat from the playground, carrying with it the restless energy of youth, made people start to sweat slightly, and the sticky feeling lingered.
As Tang Yanning passed by the school's top-notch national-level swimming pool, she slowed her pace.
She looked up at the modern blue and white building, her eyes sparkling with eager anticipation.
She suddenly turned her head, gave Ye Fan a sly once-over, and then nudged him lightly with her elbow: "Hey, Ye Zi!"
"Um?"
"It's so hot," Tang Yanning pointed to the swimming pool, a playful smile playing on her lips, "Shall we go swimming?"
Her eyes were clear and open, carrying a pure invitation and a longing for coolness.
Ye Fan was taken aback: "Huh? Swimming?"
His gaze followed her finger to the top-notch swimming pool.
This place is so nice, I haven't really experienced it yet.
"Yeah, it's hot, perfect for swimming!" Tang Yanning nodded vigorously, with a hint of encouragement.
She pointed to the students dressed lightly going in and out of the swimming pool entrance: "Everyone's going! Come on, come on!"
Looking into Tang Yanning's bright, expectant eyes, feeling the stickiness on his body, and then looking at the building that resembled a cool oasis in the heatwave, Ye Fan's hesitation vanished instantly.
Seeing the expectant look in Tang Yanning's eyes, Ye Fan nodded: "Alright, let's go swimming then."
The two bought basic swimwear, swim caps, and goggles at a shop near the entrance of the swimming pool.
Ye Fan acted quickly, changing into a simple pair of black swimming trunks, putting on a swimming cap and goggles, and carrying a towel before walking into the main pool area.
The pool was indeed bustling with people on the weekend.
The azure water shimmered, splashing everywhere, and laughter, splashing sounds, and the occasional whistle of the lifeguards mingled together.
Boys and girls in colorful swimsuits were either swimming hard in the lanes or playing and frolicking in the shallow water, their youthful hormones filling the moist air.
Ye Fan found a corner and stood against the pool wall, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I finally saw a familiar little head peek out from the exit of the changing room.
Tang Yanning crossed her arms and hunched her shoulders, like a little rabbit that had wandered into a pack of wolves, and slipped in somewhat awkwardly.
She wore a relatively conservative one-piece swimsuit with a dark blue base and white stripes on the shoulder straps and chest. Although it provided a lot of coverage, it perfectly outlined her tall, well-proportioned figure.
A slender waist, long, straight legs, and... well-proportioned breasts that appear even more rounded and full under the swimsuit.
Her fair skin seemed to glow softly under the bright pool lights, and her delicate face was flushed with a shy blush, exuding a charm that blended purity and allure.
The moment she appeared, it was as if she had her own spotlight effect.
Splash! A boy in the next lane who was swimming hard looked up and choked on water, coughing awkwardly.
The boys who had been splashing around in the water froze instantly, their eyes glued to her. Even the lifeguards instinctively straightened their backs.
Some girls' gazes were much more complex, carrying envy, scrutiny, and a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.
If Pei Yi'an was a bright and flamboyant sexy beauty, then Tang Yanning at this moment possessed a fatal attraction that was both innocent and unaware of her own, instantly arousing a strong protective and possessive desire in almost all the males present.
Tang Yanning felt extremely uncomfortable under the intense gaze of everyone, and her cheeks flushed even more.
As if she had found a lifeline, her gaze quickly locked onto Ye Fan. She lowered her head and hurried through the crowd, walking straight to his side and standing close to him, as if this would shield her from those burning gazes.
Seeing her desperate attempt to hide herself, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile: "What? You've never been to a swimming pool?"
Tang Yanning nodded vigorously, her voice barely audible, "Yeah! I used to go to water parks to play on water slides, I've never been to a proper swimming pool like this before."
She instinctively shrank closer to Ye Fan, seeking protection.
Ye Fan remembered that he hadn't been to a place like this with her during high school, and then a crucial question came to mind. He looked down at her and asked, "Can you swim? Don't tell me you can't?"
Tang Yanning raised her small face, her eyes flickering with a hint of embarrassment at being exposed, and admitted in a soft voice, "Oh dear! I just don't know how!"
Ye Fan: "..."
