【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Pin'er stepped into the water timidly. The temperature in the pool was just right and she didn't feel cold at all. At first, she just walked around holding onto the pool wall, and gradually the water led her to the center of the pool.

Pin'er held his hand tightly, and then let go of her hand that was holding on to the wall of the swimming pool. Shui Rong led her for a while and slowly completed the warm-up.

Shui Rong began to teach her how to swim, and the first step was to teach her how to hold her breath.

First help her put on the swimming goggles, then demonstrate to Pin'er, bury her head completely in the water, relax her body and let it float on the water.

Ten seconds later, Shui Rong stood up, raised his head out of the water and opened his mouth to breathe.

"Just practice the moves I did just now. You can open your eyes after entering the water, and then you won't be afraid." After Shui Rong said this, he treated himself as a human handle, let Pin'er hold his hand, and began to practice.

Pin'er was a little timid at first, and it took her several attempts before she dared to put her head into the water. Shuirong gently encouraged her and asked her to relax.

When her head was able to get into the water, her body could not float. Shui Rong had no choice but to let her hold onto him with one hand while he used the other hand to guide her leg movements.

"Relax your body and stretch your legs!" Shui Rong didn't know whether she could hear what he was shouting on the water.

Under Shui Rong's patient guidance, Pin'er gradually mastered the essentials and her body slowly floated up. She was so happy that she forgot to raise her head to breathe and began to choke on the water.

Shui Rong quickly pulled her up, let her lie on him, patted her back, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Pin'er coughed a few times, shook her head, and a trace of shame appeared on her face.

Shui Rong smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, it's always difficult to learn for the first time, let's try again."

This time, Pin'er tried harder to follow Shuirong's instructions, and finally successfully completed holding her breath and floating.

Shui Rong praised: "Well done! Next, let's try the arm movements." He demonstrated as he spoke, and Pin'er observed carefully and then imitated him.

Pin'er learned very quickly, so Shui Rong let her practice on her own for a while. Then he went ashore to get some water for Pin'er to drink. But when he came back, he saw Pin'er still practicing holding her breath. This time, she seemed to have been holding her breath for a long time. Shui Rong jumped into the water immediately and scooped her up. When he scooped her up and looked at her again, he was so scared that he almost couldn't stand still. He saw that her face was pale and her lips had turned dark purple.

Shui Rong immediately pulled her into his arms and patted her on the back. Then he reminded her:

"Take a breath quickly and adjust your breathing."

Pin'er didn't feel anything, but was a little surprised to be picked up suddenly. She just wanted to try how long she could hold her breath. Shui Rong was making a fuss!

"You scared me to death!" Shui Rong said this after a long time.

"What's wrong? I just want to try how long I can hold my breath." Pin'er said aggrievedly.

Shui Rong immediately became stern:

"We are learning swimming, not diving. You only need to hold your breath for ten seconds. I will teach you how to breathe later. You don't need to hold it for a long time." Shui Rong didn't dare to say anything more serious. He wanted to say that her lips were purple just now, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he didn't say anything else.

After that, he followed Pin'er closely and never dared to leave her side.

Shui Rong patiently taught her how to breathe, his eyes full of expectation and doting. The way Pin'er studied hard was the most beautiful scenery in his eyes.

Her arms were waving uncoordinatedly, so he smiled and held them, paddling with her. Their heartbeats seemed to play a harmonious melody in the water, and the time of teaching her to swim became incomparably wonderful.

Under Shui Rong's careful teaching, Pin'er gradually mastered the breathing technique.

"Wow, I did it!" Pin'er shouted excitedly.

Shui Rong looked at her happy expression and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Now, let's try swimming a distance." Shui Rong said softly.

Pin'er was a little nervous, but she still plucked up the courage to bury her head in the water.

She tried hard to recall the movements Shui Rong taught her, paddling with her hands, kicking with her legs, and swimming forward in rhythm with her breathing.

Although she didn't swim very far, it might be due to the lack of strength in her limbs, but for Pin'er who was trying swimming for the first time, it was already a huge improvement.

Shui Rong swam to her side and praised: "You are really talented."

A proud smile spread across Pin'er's face, and she felt that she was one step closer to learning how to swim.

Lai An had been standing by the pool for a long time. He did not dare to speak, fearing to disturb their practice. It was not until Shui Rong noticed him and nodded to him that Lai An said loudly:

"Third Master, lunch is ready."

Shui Rong realized that it was already noon. As the saying goes, time flies when you are busy. He had no choice but to lead Pin'er to swim towards the stairs. Shui Rong was like a fish, swimming very far without much movement. Pin'er followed behind with standard movements, but only swam a short distance.

When she swam to the stairs, Shui Rong was already waiting on the shore. He reached out his hand to pull her ashore, and then they went to change their clothes.

Last night, Pin'er asked Zijuan to prepare a small toiletries bag for her, which contained shower gel and body lotion in small dispensing bottles, a tube of sunscreen, and a small bath towel.

Pin'er was afraid that Shui Rong would get anxious after waiting for too long, so she changed her clothes and walked out. As expected, Shui Rong was already waiting at the door of the guest room, and when he saw her come out with wet hair, he pulled her back to the guest room without saying anything.

"Didn't Lai An prepare a hair dryer for you?" Shui Rong asked as he walked in. He remembered telling Lai An last night that the little girl had long and thick hair, so he must prepare a hair dryer.

"It seems like there was, but I was afraid you would wait impatiently, so I just wiped it. It's not dripping anymore." Pin'er answered in a low voice.

"I'm not in a hurry, let me blow dry my hair first. The air conditioner is on high outside, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." When he said this, he had already found the hair dryer and took Pin'er to sit on a chair in the room. He found a socket nearby, plugged it in, turned on the hair dryer, and adjusted it to a suitable temperature and wind speed.

His fingers gently ran through Pin'er's hair and he carefully moved the hair dryer closer. The warm air blew past her and Pin'er could feel Shuirong's attentiveness and care.

"Is it too hot?" Shui Rong asked softly, looking intently at Pin'er's hair.

Pin'er shook her head gently, "Just right, thank you."

Shui Rong's movements were gentle and skillful, as if he was treating a precious treasure. He carefully dried each strand of hair, leaving them without a trace of moisture. Time seemed to stand still, with only the hum of the hair dryer and the sound of their heartbeats intertwined. Pin'er felt Shui Rong's care, and her heart was filled with warmth and happiness.
