Fleeting Midsummer ✔(COMPLETE)

Chapter 30: Swimming Instructor

Fang Yuke drew back the corners of his lips into a smile. His pitch black pupils emitted bright rays of light.

Over the weekend, I rushed to the swimming pool as if I were going on a date. Because of hives, last week, I had taken a break from the swimming classes. I had quite a bit of regret: My attire gradually widens to the point of no return, and I am so helpless that nothing can be learned.

TLN: The last line is a poem...so like the sorta rhyming-ness? XD If you guys have something better for the poem part, pls do comment :) The "attire widens" part refers to how she can't fit into her clothes anymore probably because she's getting skinnier, and the 2nd part is obvious.

I asked Fang Yuke: "Why do you think that people have to learn breaststroke?"

Fang Yuke replied: "Because breaststroke can help you exercise and lose weight."

I felt this answer could force me into soaking in the swimming pool for a while.

You motherf*cker! The water in the swimming pool was always so cold. I freezed until I shook uncontrollably, and we still hadn't begun to swim before I started beating the return drum [3].

.........

Fang Yuke asked: "Do you know how to float?"

I felt it was beneath my dignity to do so. Even though I didn't know how to swim, hadn't I got along well nicely? Could it be that even my floating had issues? I immediately said, "I will show you some floating now."

I closed my air and entered the water, sticking out my butt, as I slowly let my two legs leave the ground. After floating for a few seconds I got up and watched him.

Fang Yuke crossed his hands and watched me: "Did you float?"

......

I could only reenact it all again.Fang Yuke expressionlessly said, "Basically, it would appear that there's no difference between you and a floating corpse that has just been thrown into a river."

Bah humbug.....

Fang Yuke grabbed my hand and directed me: "After a while I will take your hand and walk forwards. Make your body taut, and try to make your body feel parallel to the swimming pool surface. Remember, it's parallel, not like Jackson's moonwalking dance [4] that leans forwards 45 degrees."

I held my breath again and entered the water, both of my hands fiercely clutching Fang Yuke's hands to make my two legs leave the surface. After I felt a period of time had passed, I got up and asked him: "Is it okay now?"

Fang Yuke lifted his hands that had been pinched red by me out of the water, and laughed: "Do you plan to have give birth in the water? Even though you're a little heavy, you have to imagine that your body is very light and graceful, almost weightless¬--"

I cut him off: "In what way was I heavy? Why do I have to imagine? I'm already weightless."

"Right right right. Don't they say women are made out of water? Just pretend like you're returning to your home. Don't be so afraid of water. Maybe you're naturally a mermaid princess."

This was about right. I submerged myself into the water and slowly relaxed, allowing Fang Yuke to lead me forwards slowly. Through my goggles, I saw Fang Yuke's slender and perfectly straight legs walking backwards step by step. Julie had said that people with hair on their legs would have more requirements or needs. Hehe. Fang Yuke indeed----
