Chapter 83: Summer and Such ⑤
The next day, the students of Class 10 were all very excited, looking forward to physical education class. After two classes where they were distracted, the anticipated physical education class finally arrived. Everyone happily gathered on the sports field and, under the guidance of the physical education teacher, completed the mandatory warm-up exercises.
Then, led by the teacher, they entered the indoor swimming facility. Since it was just their class, the boys and girls became very excited and chattered amongst themselves, heading to their respective changing rooms to put on the swimsuits they had prepared.
Nie Qiu and Huang Yan put on their swimsuits, feeling quite excited. Nie Qiu pulled Huang Yan to stand under the shower, rinsing off some water. She looked at the screaming Huang Yan and said, “Rinse off before going in. Let your skin and body adapt first. We still need to do a warm-up later, so you won’t get a muscle cramp.”
Huang Yan pushed her hair, which the shower had wet and was now falling onto her forehead, back. She wiped her face with her hand and said, “You didn’t tell me beforehand, you startled me.”
“Let’s go! Let’s go out! Everyone else is already out.” Nie Qiu extended her hand. Huang Yan took Nie Qiu’s hand and, together with Nie Qiu, walked out of the changing room barefoot. As soon as they exited, Nie Qiu and Huang Yan heard high-pitched female screams.
Nie Qiu and Huang Yan looked up simultaneously. They saw several girls who often played with Bai Ya standing by the swimming pool, looking infatuated as they watched Li Kai swimming underwater, their screams erupting one after another.
“What are you looking at?” Peng Yu Yang emerged from the changing room, wearing a pair of tight, dark blue swim trunks. He looked at Nie Qiu and Huang Yan. Upon seeing Nie Qiu’s slender, fair legs and the curved figure revealed by her tight one-piece swimsuit, his face instantly flushed. He immediately shifted his gaze, following Nie Qiu and Huang Yan’s line of sight towards Li Kai swimming in the pool. For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. “Are you looking at Li Kai?”
“Yes, yes! Peng Yu Yang, look at Li Kai. How is his freestyle swimming?” Huang Yan turned to look at Li Kai and asked with a smile, “Isn’t he very handsome?”
“Just so-so!” Peng Yu Yang pouted dismissively, but inwardly he had to admit that Li Kai’s swimming posture was very standard. Due to his physique, it also appeared very graceful. He looked at Nie Qiu unwillingly, “Nie Qiu, what do you think?”
Nie Qiu shrugged. “It’s nice to look at, but you can’t eat it.” She had to admit that Li Kai’s swimming style was not much different from that of a professional athlete. Moreover, both his looks, physique, and personality were quite attractive to girls his age. However, Nie Qiu was more rational and not one to be infatuated, so she simply stated her objective opinion.
Peng Yu Yang’s body stiffened at her words, and his ears turned red. “………… I’m going to swim.” Without waiting for Nie Qiu and Huang Yan’s reply, he jumped into the water with a ‘plop’ and started swimming.
“I didn’t realize,” Huang Yan said, looking at Nie Qiu with a smile. “I didn’t expect Peng Yu Yang, with his scrawny build, to swim so well.”
Indeed, although Peng Yu Yang was a bit thin, his swimming posture was good. Nie Qiu smiled and shouted, “Peng Yu Yang, Huang Yan says you swim very well. Huang Yan……… Mmph!” Nie Qiu was about to continue speaking when Huang Yan covered her mouth.
Huang Yan blushed and said coquettishly, “Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let’s go swimming too!”
Nie Qiu nodded. Hearing Nie Qiu’s words, Peng Yu Yang swam to the edge of the pool, rested his hands on the edge, and asked, “Nie Qiu, what did you just say? I couldn’t hear you in the water.”
Nie Qiu giggled, covering her mouth. Under Huang Yan’s glare, she smiled and said, “We said you swim very well.”
“Really?!” Peng Yu Yang’s face lit up with joy. He stared at Nie Qiu, as if to confirm, and asked, “Nie Qiu, are you telling the truth? I swim well?”
Nie Qiu swayed her body and nodded. “Yes! You swim very well.”
Peng Yu Yang’s face turned a little red, and his words became involuntarily clumsy. “Then… then do you guys want to come down and swim?”
Huang Yan stood aside, suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable. Peng Yu Yang’s gaze was focused solely on Nie Qiu, as if everyone else was just background.
After swimming for a while, Li Kai felt a little tired. He swam to the edge of the pool, grabbed the railing, and got out of the water.
“Li Kai, are you tired? Do you want some water?” Bai Ya walked up to Li Kai with a bottle of mineral water and asked with a smile.
“Alright! You kid, you’ve improved again.” Luo Xu emerged from the water and also came ashore.
Zhang Haiyang placed two towels on the ground and asked with a smile, “How about you two have a competition?”
Luo Xu and Li Kai took the towels, wiped the water from their hair, and draped the towels over their shoulders. Li Kai walked to the side and sat down. Luo Xu glanced at Bai Ya and then sat down next to Li Kai with Zhang Haiyang.
Bai Ya stood awkwardly in place, holding the bottle of mineral water.
After swimming for a while, Wang Chao Lei and Ma Xin also came ashore. Wang Chao Lei took the towel handed to him by Zhang Haiyang and said with a sly grin, “Hey, hey, hey, look at which female classmate is wearing a nicer swimsuit today?” Boys their age were very curious about girls. Not to mention they had all watched some pornographic films together, but they had also discussed which girl was pretty.
So, after Wang Chao Lei asked, the group sitting together all looked up and scanned their surroundings. They were all just students, so their swimsuits were relatively conservative. The boys were uniformly in swim trunks or beach shorts, and most of the girls wore one-piece swimsuits that resembled dresses. Only Bai Ya wore something like a bikini.
Bai Ya did attract some attention, but for a group like Li Kai’s, who had seen plenty of bikini-clad beauties at the beach, Bai Ya’s attire wouldn’t catch their eye.
“Hey, what do you think of that one?” Zhang Haiyang’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly pointed into the water. “That purple one, the one that looks like a carp.”
The gazes of the group, which had been searching the swimming pool, suddenly shot into the water, drawn by that splash of purple. The purple shimmered in the water. Because it was an indoor pool, the fluorescent lights cast a bright sheen on the skin, making it look crystal clear.
“I didn’t expect anyone to wear a tight one-piece swimsuit,” Ma Xin murmured, stunned by the sight. “Who is that?”
Li Kai and Luo Xu immediately recognized that the person swimming in the water was Nie Qiu. Although they knew Nie Qiu wasn’t particularly good-looking and had a few shiny pimples on her forehead, they couldn’t take their eyes off her at that moment. Hearing Ma Xin’s words, they snapped back to reality, coughed simultaneously, and simultaneously reached for the mineral water bottle placed in the middle. When they felt each other reaching for the same bottle, they both retracted their hands, and the mineral water bottle fell to the ground.
