Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 139 - 137 Drowning

It seems that ever since their meal at the revolving restaurant, Liang Anya has been pursuing Jiang Pinhao even more relentlessly.

Jiang Pinhao’s fair and handsome face inexplicably flushed with a hint of embarrassment, adamantly denying, "Not at all."

As if that were true.

Teasingly, Jiayi commented, "All right, if there’s nothing going on, then when I see her later, I’ll just mention I saw you..."

Only then did Jiang Pinhao raise the white flag, "Please don’t say anything."

A graceful couple, avoiding the crowd and chatting while occasionally laughing, looked perfectly matched in both appearance and temperament, like a pair of beautiful people that made passersby unable to take their eyes off them.

But to the man not far away, the sight was exceedingly irritating.

Huo Zhenyang’s brows furrowed with displeasure as his dark eyes grew heavier.

Didn’t she say she had nothing to do with that pretty boy? Didn’t she say that Jiang Pinhao and Liang Anya were the real couple?

So what was he seeing now?

You could say he was domineering or you could say he was overbearing, but when it came to this little thing, he simply couldn’t stand a speck of sand in his eyes, wishing that all men beside her, other than himself, would just disappear!

Their relationship as fiancés had not been formally called off; it wasn’t over just because she threw away her engagement ring and ran off to another city!

A woman engaged to be married, getting intimately close with a young teacher—was that really okay?

Lucky for him, he had managed to become a guest professor at Jin University. If he hadn’t come, would this girl have been even more brazen?

——

The afternoon sports class was swimming, and Jiayi and Su Yan prepared their swimsuits and goggles, heading to the university’s swimming pool full of excitement.

By the time they arrived, the swimming pool was already buzzing with noise, as many students had changed into their swimwear and entered.

Jin University’s swimming pool, built years ago by a returned overseas Chinese who invested heavily, was constructed to international standards, with both a deep pool and a shallow pool, and spectator stands two stories high on both sides.

The sports teacher led the students of class three into the water, and splashes blossomed across the swimming pool.

Once Jiayi entered the swimming pool, she leaned on the poolside railing, barely moving in the shallow area.

"Xiaoyi, can’t you swim?" Su Yan asked.

Jiayi indeed wasn’t very good at swimming; the last time on Suwang Island, thinking he was drowning, she jumped into the sea and nearly drowned herself.

At the thought, her expression shifted inexplicably, filled with a multitude of emotions.

All her memories up to now had been tied to that man; though he was gone, the memories couldn’t just be washed away at will.

Now, that man had reappeared in her life... Was she truly destined to never escape him?

The intermittent waves surged over, hitting against her body and pulling Jiayi back from her reverie. At that moment, a large wave "smack" crashed towards them, bringing a strong impact that drenched both Jiayi and Su Yan!

At the same time, exclamations of admiration arose from their classmates:

"Ye Shiman is so impressive!"

Ye Shiman, wearing a light purple one-piece swimsuit, had just dived off the platform next door and swam towards the opposite edge with a perfect freestyle stroke. Then, with a graceful turn, she swam back like a flying fish, broke through the water’s surface, like a lotus rising from the water!

"Wow!" Another round of amazement followed.

Under Ye Shiman’s leadership, the other students started to spread out and swim in the pool. As arranged by the gym teacher, they generally adopted a buddy system, with those who could swim helping those who couldn’t.

Noticing Jiayi hadn’t started, the gym teacher asked, "Qin student, why aren’t you swimming?"

Su Yan said, "Teacher, Xiaoyi is not very good at swimming."

The gym teacher shook his head, "That won’t do; there’s a swimming component in the final exam for physical education. Besides, you can’t avoid things just because you’re afraid; everyone goes from not knowing to knowing. Is there any student who can help Xiaoyi?"

Ye Shiman turned her head and smiled sweetly, "Teacher, let me teach Xiaoyi how to swim."

The gym teacher immediately responded with a smile, "Good. Then, Ye student, you will be responsible for helping Qin student. Qin student, follow Ye student to learn the basics of floating and positioning. It’s easier to learn how to swim when you have someone guiding you."

Jiayi glanced at Ye Shiman, hesitating for a moment.

Seeing her reluctance, Ye Shiman snorted inwardly, "Xiaoyi, my daddy sent me to learn swimming at a swim club since I was little and every year my daddy and mommy take me on vacation to island nations. What, you still don’t trust my swimming ability?"

Jiayi understood that Ye Shiman’s offer to teach her wasn’t sincere; she always liked to curry favor with the teacher.

It was just like the last time with Huo Zhenyang’s European Design Aesthetics class, where Ye Shiman led everyone to the front row, making others follow, or else it seemed like they were opposing the teacher.

But since the gym teacher had suggested it, Jiayi didn’t protest further. She paddled the water a couple of times and swam slowly forward. Soon after, Ye Shiman followed.

As they swam, Ye Shiman grew faster, like a mermaid set free in the water.

Jiayi started to fall behind and felt her feet could no longer touch the bottom, which meant they were entering the deep section.

Jiayi pulled up her goggles and called out softly, "Ye Shiman, the water is too deep, let’s go back."

Ye Shiman surfaced, turned around and smirked, "Xiaoyi, don’t be such a coward; it’s not that deep! How can you learn to swim if you don’t go into the deep section?" She swam back gracefully and gave Jiayi a push forward, "Besides, the teacher asked me to make sure I teach you."

The buoyancy in the water made it nearly impossible to turn around easily. Pushed by Ye Shiman, Jiayi slid forward with the current, not knowing how far she went until she tried to put her foot down and found no bottom—she had slid into the deep section.

Startled, she moved her arms to break through the waves, trying to surface, but the deep pool made it hard to get up. In her panic, she swallowed several mouthfuls of water and, under the struggle, her toes seized in a cramp!

Ye Shiman also realized something was wrong with Jiayi and was shocked!

She had thought Jiayi was pretending when she seemed afraid to keep swimming, so, feeling annoyed, Ye Shiman had pushed her with force, not expecting to actually send her into the deep section—and now Jiayi appeared to be drowning!

Jiayi was only a few steps away in front of her, and Ye Shiman could easily have swum over to pull her up.

But at that moment, Ye Shiman was frozen, as if petrified with fear. Especially seeing the hands rising and sinking on the water’s surface turned her pale; she couldn’t recover and instead turned to swim toward the shore, "Teacher, it’s not good—Xiaoyi is drowning—"

A panic ensued by the shore as they looked toward the deep section—

Just then, a tall, majestic figure rushed toward the poolside from the entrance with the speed of thunder and, before anyone could clearly see him, had already jumped into the pool!

The water in the pool churned violently, rolling up waves of white foam.

In no time, the man had lifted the girl and was swimming toward the edge of the pool.
