Chapter 140: Chapter 138: Professor Huo is Still an Athletic Champion

The one who jumped into the pool—was it Professor Huo?

A group of students froze.

Jiayi hadn’t been underwater for too long; along the way, he had slapped her cheeks twice, she spat out mouthful of water, coughed a couple times, and then became fully alert.

Huo Zhenyang lifted Jiayi up, swam to the edge of the pool with her in his arms, carried her ashore in a sideways embrace, silent all the while, but his handsome face was already frighteningly grim.

The Physical Education teacher hurried over, "Is Qin alright? It’s fortunate that Professor Huo was here."

Su Yan also ran over, helping Jiayi up and using a towel to wipe the water off her face, she asked concernedly, "Are you okay, Xiaoyi?"

Jiayi, still coughing, sat up, "I’m fine, just choked on a bit of water." She then sneaked a glance at the man beside her.

His shirt was soaked through from earlier, clinging tightly to his perfect physique, revealing the contours of his tensed muscles, his smooth lines, and his bronze skin.

Once he was certain that Jiayi was truly alright, he slowly got up, took a dry towel from a student, and in front of everyone, nonchalantly undid three buttons on his shirt, exposing his chest muscles that were barely hidden, as he slowly wiped the droplets off his hair and body.

Jiayi watched silently, and her mind was nearly overflowing with criticism—really now, showing off in front of all these buds of the motherland.

The girls nearby were already stupefied, having forgotten the drowning incident from minutes before, and intermittent uncontrollable low shrieks came through.

At this moment, who knows how many people wanted to be that towel in the man’s hands!

"My God, not only is Professor Huo amazing in class, but he’s also so good at swimming!"

"Not just swimming—I saw Professor Huo playing basketball the day before yesterday, hitting several three-pointers and a grand slam, even Shangguan Yao was outplayed!"

Beneath the sober and dignified appearance, almost godlike in stature, Professor Huo was actually a sports champion!

Jiayi scoffed, this uncle-level figure compared to the students, boasting about three-pointers and grand slams? He wasn’t afraid of throwing out his old back! That day’s basketball game was nothing more than good luck!

However, the uncle-level man turned his long gaze, his eyes flashed as he glanced at the girl, as if guessing what she was thinking. His hand slipped, and he undid another button, his half-exposed physique becoming even more seductive, provoking a few girls nearby to cover their faces and shriek in surprise.

The Physical Education teacher, seeing Jiayi was fine, breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Huo Zhenyang saying, "Letting a student who can’t swim go alone into the deep end, isn’t that a bit too irresponsible?"

His tone was indifferent, yet beneath that calmness, there was an indescribable chill like that of suppressed thunder and lightning.

The Physical Education teacher knew that this Mr. Huo was a guest professor personally invited by Principal Luo, whose status in the school was extremely high, who had also poured a lot of money into the school’s infrastructure, essentially Jinhua University’s god of wealth.

Before Mr. Huo began teaching Design Class Three, Principal Luo had gathered all the teachers of Class Three, emphasising again and again, that they must not neglect him.

Now, confronted with Huo Zhenyang’s question, the Physical Education teacher quickly called out to someone behind him, "Ye Shiman!"

Ye Shiman shuddered all over and walked over.

The Physical Education teacher berated, "You knew full well that Qin couldn’t swim, why did you still lead her to the deep end? Not only did you take her in, but when you saw a classmate drowning, you didn’t even try to pull her, instead you swam away? How can you be so irresponsible? If it weren’t for Professor Huo’s timely arrival, who knows what might have happened."

Ye Shiman had always been the darling of her teachers and had never been reprimanded like this before. Her eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears, feeling very wronged, "My daddy said that you shouldn’t try to save someone who’s drowning, otherwise you might get dragged down with them..."

Su Yan glared angrily at Ye Shiman. So you just watched Xiaoyi drown right in front of you, not lifting a finger to help?

Ye Shiman, appearing glamorous and capable in every aspect, was regarded as outstanding by both teachers and students. It turned out that her heart was so selfish!

The PE teacher looked at Ye Shiman with furrowed brows. "Ye, you have greatly disappointed me. When I asked you to help each other, it wasn’t for you to show off. With such an attitude, even if your swimming skills are extraordinary, you lack the true spirit of sportsmanship!"

Ye Shiman lost all face and hung her head, sobbing a few times, finally being persuaded to leave by some girls.

After the commotion subsided, the PE teacher allowed the rest of the students to continue practicing in the pool, then glanced at Jiayi. "Qin, why don’t you go back to the dormitory to rest? You can skip today’s class."

Jiayi stood up, removing the large bath towel and shook her head. "That’s alright, teacher. I’m fine, I can continue to practice."

She wasn’t so fragile. It was just a few gulps of water; she was fine now and certainly not about to go lie down.

Seeing her insistence and that she indeed seemed fine, the PE teacher didn’t persist in stopping her.

Just then, a deep male voice came from nearby. "I’ll help with the lesson."

While speaking, Huo Zhenyang glanced at Jiayi out of the corner of his eye. "There are too many kids who can’t swim but like to overdo it. I’ll personally tutor this student first, to prevent any more incidents."

The PE teacher was taken aback and then very pleasantly surprised. Although the previous incident was scary, it was a close call without danger, and the fear lingered. "To have Professor Huo join the class is more than we could ask for! Then, Professor Huo, please take good care of Qin."

A group of girls almost had the words "envious, jealous, hateful" written all over their faces!

Just by swallowing a few mouthfuls of water, they could get Professor Huo to personally guide them in swimming! If only they had known, they’d have preferred to pretend to drown too.

Jiayi bowed her head and walked down to the poolside, holding onto the railing.

Huo Zhenyang turned to the men’s changing room, changed into his swimming gear, and caused a stir among the girls when he came out.

The man’s bare, muscular upper body, dressed in a pair of tight swim trunks, his wide shoulders and narrow waist forming a perfect inverted triangle. His physique was even more flawless than those of sportsmen, and the prominent bulge in his trunks was enough to make one’s blood boil, almost causing a nosebleed!

Compared to the pale and somewhat wimpy complexions of most of Jin University’s male students, the man’s skin was a pure, sun-kissed bronze, masculine, smooth, taut, and defiant, exuding a regal air of domination.

He scanned the surroundings, set his target, and dived in, splashing water all around.

Jiayi, who was at the edge of the pool, got soaked, and before she could dry herself off, she felt someone swimming towards her.

The man emerged from the water, shaking his hair, water droplets hanging from his handsome face. His long arm circled underwater, pulling her by the waist and quietly moving her to a corner of the pool.

Jiayi took a deep breath, but his palm felt like an iron lock, confining her slender waist tightly underwater and not letting her move an inch!

Even if others looked over, they would only see them maintaining a certain distance on the surface, and they could even see ’Professor Huo’s’ kind smile on her face, unaware of how presumptuous the man’s ’salty pig hand’ was underwater!
