"What...?"
Watching Shi Wuxie emerge from the changing room, Shen Lang's eyes widened, as did the dozens of other men and women swimming in the pool. They were all too stunned to utter a word.
Shi Wuxie, who had been wearing a white Hanfu with waist-length black hair tied with a white ribbon, looking like a classical beauty, was now gone. The white Hanfu had vanished, and her hair was up.
Shi Wuxie had changed into a purple, sexy women's swimsuit, transforming from a classical beauty into a stunning bikini-clad woman.
Shi Wuxie's figure was the most perfect Shen Lang had ever seen on a woman, even more so than Wang Yuyan. Her curves were in all the right places, her legs were long and slender, her skin was fair, and she had not an ounce of excess fat. Her body was not merely a body, but a perfectly sculpted work of art.
No one had ever seen such a sexy and beautiful woman. The men and women in the pool froze in shock, their breathing quickening.
Even Shen Lang hadn't expected Shi Wuxie to suddenly change her style so dramatically, becoming so beautiful, so sexy, and so captivating.
She was graceful and noble as a classical beauty, and modern and alluring as a sexy woman. Truly, she was a siren.
As Shen Lang and the others in the pool marveled, Shi Wuxie put on a pair of swimming goggles and walked to the ten-meter diving board. She stood with her legs together, performed three warm-up stretches on the board, and then leaped off. In mid-air, she spun three times before her body splashed into the pool.
Shi Wuxie was 1.75 meters tall and weighed 49 kilograms. However, the splash she created upon entering the water was even smaller than the ripple from a coin dropped into the water.
This scene stunned Shen Lang and everyone else in the pool.
"Is this woman really not an Olympic swimming champion?"
Everyone held their breath, the same question echoing in their minds.
However, after entering the water, Shi Wuxie's performance once again astonished Shen Lang and everyone else.
As soon as Shi Wuxie hit the water, she became like a mermaid, swimming with an incredibly elegant and beautiful stroke all the way to the 150-meter mark.
Then, without even pausing to catch her breath, Shi Wuxie swam back.
Swimming 300 meters in one go, when Shi Wuxie emerged from the water, she still retained her pure and elegant demeanor, making every man in the pool's heart skip a beat and every woman feel inadequate.
"This woman is simply perfect, perfect to the extreme."
Everyone silently marveled.
After her swim, Shi Wuxie got out of the pool, walked to a nearby lounge chair, and lay down. She then addressed Shen Lang, saying, "You wanted to swim, didn't you? Why haven't you started?"
"I..."
Shen Lang had been quite confident in his swimming and had wanted to show off in front of Shi Wuxie. But after seeing her performance, he immediately lost the desire to embarrass himself.
However, Shen Lang knew that if he showed any fear, Shi Wuxie would definitely mock him.
So, Shen Lang went to the side, bought a pair of swimming trunks and a pair of sunglasses.
After changing into his trunks and putting on his sunglasses, Shen Lang, unlike Shi Wuxie, did not jump from the diving board but slowly entered the water.
Once in the water, Shen Lang swam to the other side using a breaststroke and then returned in the same manner.
Shen Lang swam a decent number of laps, about a dozen, until he felt his energy depleted. He then got out of the pool and lay down next to Shi Wuxie.
"Shi Wuxie, you said you lived in Wuhou Mountain, right? How come your diving posture and swimming technique are more standard and perfect than an Olympic women's swimming champion?"
Shen Lang couldn't figure this out and asked curiously.
"I learned it from watching TV. What, is it very perfect?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Shi Wuxie smiled and replied.
"Learned it from watching TV?"
Shen Lang scoffed at this answer. If everyone could learn to this extent just by watching TV, there would be no need for swimming coaches, and everyone would be a swimming champion.
However, Shen Lang knew Shi Wuxie wouldn't tell the truth. So, he waved at a hotel attendant. When the waitress approached, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Get me a glass of iced orange juice, please."
After saying that, Shen Lang looked at Shi Wuxie and asked, "Would you like some juice?"
"I don't want juice, just a bottle of pure water will do."
Shi Wuxie replied with a smile.
"Certainly, please wait a moment."
The waitress nodded and turned to leave.
Two minutes later, the waitress returned with a tray, placing a glass of iced orange juice and a bottle of pure water on the small table between Shen Lang and Shi Wuxie's lounge chairs.
Shen Lang took a sip of the iced orange juice, feeling refreshed. He stood up and walked towards the pool, then dove in.
On the back of Qiulong Mountain, there was a lake called Jianshen Lake. Ever since he arrived, Shen Lang had been swimming in the lake with Wolong and the others. Shen Lang was an excellent swimmer, as natural in the water as a fish.
Shen Lang dove underwater and swam to the other side in one go, then turned around and swam back.
Normally, with Shen Lang's swimming skills, there would be no problem. However, at this moment, both of his legs cramped simultaneously, causing him to lose strength and sink.
The pool had four water levels: 1.5 meters, 1.6 meters, 1.8 meters, and 2.5 meters.
Shen Lang was currently in the deepest part, at the 2.5-meter level, and there was no one nearby.
His legs cramped, causing intense pain. His flailing hands were useless. He sank rapidly, water filling his lungs. He struggled desperately, but to no avail.
However, the people nearby didn't notice anything was wrong with Shen Lang. They assumed he was just playing around and didn't pay much attention.
After all, Shen Lang had just swum back and forth a dozen laps without any issues, clearly an expert swimmer. Drowning was out of the question.
Thus, Shen Lang gradually sank, like a hook, to the bottom of the pool.
Having swallowed too much water, Shen Lang's consciousness began to blur, eventually fading into a blank.
Shen Lang had calculated everything, but he never could have imagined that his end would come from swimming in a pool, cramping, and drowning.
How ironic.
"This guy is acting strangely."
Shi Wuxie, who had just taken a sip of pure water, looked up at the pool. She noticed that Shen Lang hadn't surfaced for a long time. After waiting for a while without seeing him, her expression changed slightly. "Don't tell me this kid is drowning?"
At this thought, Shi Wuxie's expression changed. She put down her water and quickly dove into the pool, then submerged to check on Shen Lang.
Soon, Shi Wuxie saw Shen Lang lying unconscious at the bottom of the pool, having drowned.
Seeing that Shen Lang's condition was unknown, Shi Wuxie's face became grim. She sped up and swam towards Shen Lang.
Thirty seconds later, Shi Wuxie reached Shen Lang. She grabbed his arm and began to pull him up, intending to lift him out.
However, the moment Shi Wuxie grabbed Shen Lang's arm, he seemed to be stimulated. He suddenly woke up, grabbed Shi Wuxie tightly, and cried out, "Mom... water... Little Seven is afraid of water... Where are you... Quick, save Little Seven... Little Seven is so scared..."
