In the bedroom, Ye Huang awoke at some point, unnoticed.
He was sitting on the carpet, his ears standing up, listening intently to the conversation outside the door.
Lance still wanted to celebrate Bai Xiao's birthday?
Ha, wishful thinking!
Year after year, there would be him, Ye Huang. Everyone else, step aside!

The next day, Ye Huang formally began teaching Bai Xiao how to swim.
Bai Xiao was extremely reluctant, dressed in a long-sleeved swimsuit, with swim shorts extending to her knees.
Twisting her hands nervously, she said, "Ye Huang, do I have to learn? Look at me, a designer, not an athlete. Let's not bother, okay?"
"No, we're not going back to Songcheng until you learn," Ye Huang said, warming up.
In comparison to Bai Xiao's fully covered outfit, Ye Huang, clad in only a pair of swim shorts, looked quite exposed. The two of them standing together produced a very... inharmonious image.
