Xu Xiuwen gently released the girl's hands.
He held onto her arms, bent down, and brought his head close to hers, looking directly into her eyes. "Yue'er, can you tell me why you were so scared just now? Do you have any bad memories related to water?"
At this moment, Xu Xiuwen's tone was extremely gentle, as if soothing a baby to sleep.
In his gentle whispers, Bai Yue'er's emotions became calmer and calmer. Bai Yue'er stared into Xu Xiuwen's eyes, with a hint of pleading in her gaze. But Xu Xiuwen's eyes were firm and unyielding.
Several minutes passed, maybe one minute, maybe five minutes.
Bai Yue'er suddenly lowered her gaze and said softly, "I'm sorry, I remembered something from my childhood."
Xu Xiuwen continued gently, "Hmm, can you tell me about your childhood?"
Bai Yue'er fell silent.
When Xu Xiuwen thought she wouldn't speak, the girl suddenly whispered, "There's a small river in our village. One summer, my two sisters called me to play in the water. I had bad luck and drowned as soon as I got in. My sisters were scared and ran to the shore. I struggled desperately, but my body kept sinking. Fortunately, Auntie Ge passed by and saved me."
After listening to Bai Yue'er's words, Xu Xiuwen could imagine the scene.
Several young girls went to the riverside to play in the water. Bai Yue'er accidentally drowned, and the other girls were too scared to approach, standing on the bank.
In the water, young Bai Yue'er must have felt very hopeless.
Although later rescued, this experience left a shadow on her regarding small rivers and ponds.
This explains why Bai Yue'er, a rural girl, doesn't know how to swim.
When Xu Xiuwen was a child, during summer vacations at his grandmother's house in the village, there was hardly anyone who couldn't swim. In the summer, they would all swim in groups, so it was difficult not to learn.
Knowing her fear of water, Xu Xiuwen still feels quite sorry for Bai Yue'er.
He gently embraced the girl and comforted her, "It's okay, all those things are in the past. With me here, you won't drown again."
After a few minutes.
Bai Yue'er said, "I'm fine now, please let me go. After all, I'm your roommate's fiancée. It's not appropriate to hold each other like this."
Xu Xiuwen heard the girl's words and slowly released his hand.
Bai Yue'er took a step back, ran her hand through her hair, and then looked at Xu Xiuwen, saying, "Next, will you teach me how to swim?"
"But aren't you afraid of water?"
Bai Yue'er forced a smile, her gaze serious, "But I have to take this step after all. I still have to act. I can't avoid learning just because of fear, nor can I let it affect the progress of the film crew."
"That's true," reasoned Xu Xiuwen, but he still couldn't help but worry, "Are you really okay?"
Bai Yue'er smiled and said, "I wasn't prepared just now, but I'm ready now."
Xu Xiuwen sighed, "Alright, do you want to take a break and then continue learning?"
Bai Yue'er shook her head, "No need, time is already tight, let's just hurry up and practice it."
Hearing Bai Yue'er say this, Xu Xiuwen had no reason to stop her.
He took the lead in jumping into the pool.
Then he stood in the shallow water area, looking at Bai Yue'er.
The shallow water area was only one meter deep, barely reaching Xu Xiuwen's legs.
Bai Yue'er cautiously walked to the edge of the pool. She wanted to jump in like Xu Xiuwen, but lacked the courage.
In the end, she chose to sit down and slowly put her legs into the water.
The icy pool water gradually spread from her toes to her knees, and then to her thighs.
With her eyes closed and hands on the ground for support, Bai Yue'er took the plunge.
Xu Xiuwen stood before her, afraid she would panic, and quickly grasped the girl's slender waist with his hand.
The delicate feeling of her waist in his hand was excellent, but Xu Xiuwen's attention was not on that.
He supported the girl steadily and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Bai Yue'er kept her eyes closed until she heard Xu Xiuwen's words, then slowly opened them.
Her body was tense, but she had a sweet smile on her face.
"I'm fine, actually, it's not scary at all," she reassured.
Xu Xiuwen didn't expose her, but maintained this posture for two more minutes, feeling the muscles in the girl's waist gradually relax before cautiously letting go of her hand.
Bai Yue'er's emotions gradually calmed down.
She spun in the water, then looked up at Xu Xiuwen and said with a smile, "I told you it's okay."
"Good job," Xu Xiuwen praised generously.
Hearing the praise, Bai Yue'er was as happy as if she had received praise from a teacher.
"Okay, teach me how to swim."
Xu Xiuwen nodded.
"First, try to feel the sensation of your whole body entering the water," he said as he slowly crouched down, submerging his entire body in the water, leaving only his head above the surface.
Bai Yue'er saw his movements and followed suit.
The water gradually spread over the girl's waistline, chest, then her prominently defined collarbones, and finally her slender pink neck.
Bai Yue'er successfully let herself sink into the water. She was very excited and happily exclaimed, "I did it."
But as soon as the words fell, without standing firm, the feet lost support directly, and the person instantly sank into the water.
As the water submerged the head, it rushed into the mouth, nostrils, and ears.
Bai Yue'er panicked instantly, flailing her hands wildly, her legs kicking incessantly, but she couldn't stand steady.
Xu Xiuwen also didn't expect the sudden accident, hurriedly taking a step forward, wanting to help the girl up.
However, someone who can't swim, once they fall into the water, will instantly lose their composure and grab onto anything they can.
Not to mention that Bai Yue'er had almost drowned when she was younger.
After feeling Xu Xiuwen's body, Bai Yue'er clung to him as if she had caught a lifeline, entwining herself around him.
A tangled embrace.
Bai Yue'er's final posture was with her slender legs wrapped tightly around Xu Xiuwen's waist.
She tightly wrapped her two white and tender arms around Xu Xiuwen's neck.
Her head was pressed tightly against Xu Xiuwen's neck.
She was breathing heavily.
This posture is far more intimate than leaning against Xu Xiuwen's arms by the pool before, but Bai Yue'er is too preoccupied to care at the moment.
Xu Xiuwen maintained this posture without moving until the girl calmed down again, and then said, "It's okay now, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xu Xiuwen was like injecting Bai Yue'er with a dose of reassurance.
A strong heart needle.
Bai Yue'er's heartbeat was very fast, but her emotions gradually returned to calm.
She suddenly realized that her actions with him were too intimate, but for a moment she dared not let go, fearing that if she left his body, it would be like just now.
Bai Yue'er is not only beautiful, but also has an excellent figure.
Being pressed against himself like this, Xu Xiuwen is a young man full of energy.
Although he knows it's not right, his body is excited, and he can't control himself.
He really wants to quickly make Bai Yue'er let go and get away from her.
But it's a bit difficult to do so at the moment, as Bai Yue'er is holding onto him too tightly.
He could only constantly think of other things to divert his attention, trying to calm himself down.
The water was swaying.
Xu Xiuwen's body also swayed with the push of the water waves.
As a result, Bai Yue'er's cheeks became redder and redder.
In the end, the shy emotion overwhelmed the fearful emotion.
Bai Yue'er took the initiative to release her hands and feet, like a startled deer, hurriedly moving away from Xu Xiuwen.
Seeing Bai Yue'er getting off him, Xu Xiuwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly turned around, his back to the girl, like trying to hide something.
"Um, take your time to get used to it."
Bai Yue'er also caught a glimpse of it, her face flushing red.
She dared not look again, quickly turning away in another direction.
