 Chapter 86: Are You Nervous?

"Do you not know how to swim?" Holding the steamer basket, Sheng Mingsi looked at her seriously and asked. "Nope." Jiang Chenchen reached out again to grab a small bun, only to have it pulled away once more. "?" She looked at him with confusion. Sheng Mingsi fixed his gaze, "Then let me teach you." He handed her a pair of chopsticks. Jiang Chenchen took them, and only then did he push the steamer basket towards her. It turned out he wanted her to eat with chopsticks. She used the chopsticks to pick up a hot dumpling, took a bite, and mumbled, "But I've missed a few days of classes, and I don't have time to learn." Sheng Mingsi frowned slightly, "Learning this is quick. Just set aside half an hour every day. If you're not too slow, you can learn it in half a month." "Alright." She seemed to focus more on eating and didn't pay much attention to this matter. For the first time, Sheng Mingsi personally taught her something. Selfishly, he hoped she would remember it forever. But with today's news, it seemed like there was no room for asking. That'll do. ... Behind Sheng Mingsi's residence, there was an outdoor private swimming pool as well as an indoor one. Jiang Chenchen didn't expect him to have such a complete set-up; he had everything. As a coach, Sheng Mingsi was quite strict, and with his excellent physique, Jiang Chenchen wasn't moved despite witnessing him in a swimsuit. However, his swimming figure was elegant and agile, like a beautiful fish. This made it interesting to watch. Squatting by the pool, wrapped in a towel, Jiang Chenchen held her phone and took a picture of him leaping out of the water. His black hair dripped with water, his eyes misted from the splashes, and he wiped them away with his hand, messing up his hair in the process. The slightly disheveled black hair, combined with his cold and handsome face, made his eyes, as dark as obsidian, stand out. The muscles on his taut body sparkled with water droplets, creating ripples in the water below. Although it was midwinter, he made everything around him look like a beautiful summer cartoon. Sheng Mingsi furrowed his brows slightly and walked toward her. "Are you taking pictures again?" "It looks great." Jiang Chenchen handed him the photo she had taken. "Take a look." "..." He reached out, pressing down his gaze, "Delete it!" His wet hand reached out but only touched the edge of the phone. Jiang Chenchen quickly withdrew it. She was fast, stepping back a few steps and holding the phone to her chest. "Don't delete it." Sheng Mingsi's brows deepened. "Why did you take this?" "It looks good." "Where... does it look good!?" "Don't you think so? I think it's good. Do you want to take a closer look?" She attempted to show him the photo, seeking approval. "..." Sheng Mingsi closed his eyes, completely giving up. Forget it, let her be. "Put down the phone and get in the water." He adjusted his expression, looking like a coach. Jiang Chenchen took off her towel, placed it on a lounge chair, locked her phone, and left it there. Walking to the edge of the pool, she hesitated a bit. She squatted down, looking up at him. Recalling the incident of falling into the water, there was a slight palpitation. Sheng Mingsi lifted his chin, "Come down; the water isn't deep." However, he reached out and helped her into the water. Jiang Chenchen got in, and the water was indeed shallow. The moment of uneasiness disappeared instantly. The pool water was comfortable, and she looked up at him. Sheng Mingsi let go of her hand, took a step back, and at the same time, beckoned to her. Sheng Mingsi let go of her hand and stepped back, simultaneously beckoning her with a gesture. "Come here." "Hmm?" Jiang Chenchen followed him, feeling the water level rising as she took each step. It reached around her chest when he finally stopped. "Start by practicing breathing in and out, like this, and then dive straight down." Sheng Mingsi demonstrated. "Now you try." Jiang Chenchen watched, then mimicked the movements a few times. After several repetitions, the last time she stayed submerged for a long time without resurfacing. Sheng Mingsi's heart tightened a bit. When he dove down, he saw her comfortably staying underwater. He had underestimated her ability to hold her breath. He gestured that she could come up. Jiang Chenchen finally surfaced. She opened her mouth, adjusting quickly with a few breaths. Sheng Mingsi looked at her with some doubt. "You've really never learned before?" For someone who had experienced being submerged in water, there might be some psychological burden, making progress slower. But she learned surprisingly fast. Jiang Chenchen nodded. "Today is my first time learning." "Once you're not afraid of the water, your progress will speed up." Originally, the plan was to learn for half an hour, but it extended to two hours. And then she learned it. Sheng Mingsi watched her, who was gracefully moving in the water. Though swimming breaststroke wasn't that attractive, he had chosen it initially to boost her confidence—perhaps he had overthought it. After getting tired, both of them got out of the pool. Sheng Mingsi reached out to help her up. When Jiang Chenchen walked toward him, she suddenly looked up. "Brother Ahsi, this is a good time for artificial respiration. Can I try it?" Sheng Mingsi stumbled for a moment, halting in his steps. He looked at her with a dark expression. "What did you say?" "Why do you want to learn this?" "I want to learn." But she didn't say why. Sometimes, Sheng Mingsi really wanted to knock on her head to see what she was thinking. But her face remained as usual, expressionless, and she didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. Was she really just learning artificial respiration? Jiang Chenchen approached him, asking earnestly, "Is it okay?" Her pure gaze made Sheng Mingsi realize he couldn't refuse. Perhaps he had overthought it. "How do you want to learn?" He spoke coldly, his face tense and serious. Jiang Chenchen spread out a towel. "Lie down." Sheng Mingsi: "..." How could she say something like that so casually? Fortunately, there was no one else here. Even if they did this, only the fool in front of her would know. He took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and then lay down. The last time they did chest compressions, he was still wearing clothes. This time, he was only in swim trunks... He had a tall figure, long legs, an excellent physique, and his skin was overly fair. Lying there, he was quite stiff. His entire face looked strangely awkward. Jiang Chenchen squatted down, pressing her hands against his chest, and asked, "Are you nervous?" Asked in this indifferent, expressionless manner, Sheng Mingsi was left bewildered: "..."
