System: Master Your Life-Chapter 555 - 134: Swimming Routine with Xia Xiyao and Rong Xiyi (Part 3)
So the next day, both Rong Xiyi and Xia Xiyao looked in great spirits, as the two girls chatted incessantly about trivial matters.
Xu Lin, being strong and healthy, also looked refreshed. However, for a normal guy, he probably wouldn’t look too energetic, no matter how young, because beauties to men are like a bottomless pit that can drain their energy completely.
After having breakfast in the morning,
the three of them headed to a private swimming pool.
After Xu Lin paid, they could enjoy six hours here, with a sumptuous lunch provided, and they could eat as much fruit as they wanted, with several kinds available.
This private swimming pool was quite upscale, with over a dozen pools inside.
The price was not cheap either. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
For Xu Lin to rent it for six hours, it cost a total of ten thousand.
The pool Xu Lin and his friends were in was a leisure pool, 25 meters long, 12 meters wide, with a depth of 1.35 meters.
The pool wasn’t big, but for the three of them, it was more than enough.
While Rong and Xiyao were still changing clothes, Xu Lin took it easy.
Considering guest privacy, there was no surveillance here. Besides, it’s an indoor pool, and with the door closed, they could do as they pleased.
So unlike Xia Xiyao and the others who went into the changing room, Xu Lin just casually changed into his swimming trunks beside the pool.
Previously, Xu Lin had acquired a "swimming proficiency" skill, but hadn’t gotten the chance to use it yet.
Now the opportunity had arrived.
Xu Lin jumped directly into the water, swimming from one end to the other, moving as if he were a fish, feeling quite at ease.
"Awesome!"
It was indeed the first time Xu Lin felt that swimming could be so enjoyable.
The water was cool, and with his skill, he was like the best swimmer in the world, not exaggerating to say he moved like a fish in water.
Moreover, Xu Lin’s physique was atypical; his swimming speed was exceptionally fast, unbelievable to most.
The men’s short-course 25-meter freestyle world record was 10.31 seconds. Xu Lin hadn’t calculated it, but he suspected his 25-meter swim time was under 10 seconds.
It was indeed the case, as Xu Lin’s 25-meter swimming speed was just over 7 seconds.
Unbelievable, really.
You’re so incredible, why not shoot for the stars? Why not bring glory to the nation?
Xu Lin didn’t think too much about it; he swam in various styles for several minutes in the pool.
Finally, Xia Xiyao and her friend came out of the changing room.
Both of them wore swimwear akin to their usual underwear.
"Actually, we didn’t even need to buy swimwear yesterday; just bring our underwear over. Do you see any difference from our usual wear?"
Xu Lin couldn’t help but tease.
"Xu Lin, what do you know?"
Rong Xiyi snorted.
In a particularly good mood today, she said, "Xu Lin, teach me to swim!"
Xu Lin: "Get in yourself."
"Xu Lin, is the water cold?"
"Not cold, it feels alright."
Today was April first, with daytime temperatures peaking at thirty degrees.
Summer had arrived.
Xu Lin: "Come in, I’ll teach you to swim. The water isn’t deep, don’t worry."
"Oh, oh!"
With some apprehension, Rong Xiyi entered the pool.
"Yaoyao, come in, hurry!"
Once Rong Xiyi was in the pool, she quickly called Xia Xiyao to join.
"Coming!"
Xia Xiyao, already knowing a bit of swimming, joined in too.
"Can you swim?" Xu Lin asked her.
"A bit, but I swam when I was little, and I haven’t swum in a long time, so I’m not too sure now."
Xia Xiyao looked longingly, also wanting Xu Lin to teach her to swim.
"You both can join, and I’ll teach you together."
Xu Lin: "Also, wear your goggles."
"Wearing them!" Both girls said in unison.
For more than half an hour, Xu Lin was busy teaching them to swim. Xia Xiyao, having a foundation, was able to swim freely soon after, but Rong Xiyi struggled, needing a long time to learn basic skills like breathing while swimming.
In the end, Xu Lin taught her for over an hour until she could barely swim on her own.
But Xu Lin still kept a close watch on her, as well as on Xia Xiyao.
Despite the water being only 1.35 meters deep and both girls standing taller than the water level, shallow water can still be dangerous, and many who drown in water can supposedly swim.
While Xu Lin, with his "cheats", could play however he wanted, the girls were just ordinary people, so Xu Lin was cautious.
"Xu Lin, I can swim now!"
Rong Xiyi swam a lap back, excited.
"Barely!"
"Hmph!"
"Yaoyao, let’s swim together!"
"Okay!"
Then, the two girls began playing on their own.
Xu Lin also swam nearby.
Unlike them, he didn’t need to breathe normally; he just completely submerged, staying underwater about 70 centimeters deep. Xu Lin found he could hold his breath for over seven minutes, allowing him to do whatever he wanted underwater during that time.
Partway through, Xia Xiyao and her friend worried since Xu Lin hadn’t surfaced for so long, almost thinking something happened to him.
"Xu Lin, why didn’t you come out for so long? You scared me!"
Xia Xiyao patted her chest, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Exactly, not a peep," Rong Xiyi glared at Xu Lin.
"You can’t view me through the lens of a normal person. The strongest man on earth is right in front of you!"
Rong Xiyi: "Hmph!"
Xia Xiyao didn’t say a word, just had a reflective look in her beautiful eyes.
Even though Xu Lin booked six hours, in the end, they only stayed four hours.
After having lunch, they left, and since they didn’t stay the full six hours, the swimming pool refunded part of their money.
In the afternoon, Xu Lin accompanied them to play trampoline.
This activity was quite popular, enjoyed by both kids and adults, especially among girls or couples. And it’s incredibly fun, even more thrilling than trying the typical attractions at amusement parks. Plus, for a simple couple’s date, bouncing on trampolines beats going shopping or watching a movie any day.
In the blink of an eye, it was five in the afternoon.
After saying goodbye to Xia Xiyao and the others, Xu Lin headed to Jiangdu University.
Actually, Xu Lin hadn’t seen Yu Xinyan in over a month, the last time being just before the New Year.
Time flies, sometimes faster than you realize.
However, at eighteen, Xu Lin wasn’t quite aware of the concept of time.
"Having a lot of girls around seems like a bit of a hassle, today with this one, tomorrow with another."
Standing at the gates of Jiangdu University, Xu Lin sighed, sending Yu Xinyan a message to say he had arrived.
Next to him was a supercar, an older model, owned by a young man puffing on an e-cigarette.
"Bro, I feel you. Having too many women can be bothersome, just like me. Every day is a different girl; do you know what that feels like?"
"I’m all ears," Xu Lin replied.
"Like this car parked at the university gate, in half an hour, at least thirty girls will ask for my contact information, while over a hundred fall for me but don’t dare approach. Students are quite shy, but those who’ve been in the workforce and know how tough it is to earn money go wild. I don’t even know the names of the girls around me," the young man lamented.
"Buddy, can you understand that feeling with your little two-wheeler?"
Clearly, the young man was trying to put Xu Lin down, attempting to let Xu Lin taste the fiercest competition among men for a little self-satisfaction.
"I think I can somewhat understand, but I have a picky taste and don’t settle for just anyone. For instance, I have six criteria for girls," Xu Lin retorted, implying the guy had no discerning taste.
"Which six don’ts?"
The young man puffed on his e-cigarette, quite interested.
Xu Lin was tall and handsome, genuinely good-looking.
Among men, there are three types of alphas: the wealthy or powerful; the extremely handsome, who never lack beautiful women pursuing them; and the all-around warriors, with wealth, looks, and a strong core.
The young man belonged to the first type, Xu Lin to the second.
Male competition is fierce and straightforward, igniting on sight.
Xu Lin laughed lightly, "No to anyone shorter than 1.7 meters, no to figures less than a C, no without curves, not a stunner, no if lacking a good education, no if lacking moral integrity."
"This isn’t a wishing well!" the young man laughed.
"Are you out yet?" Xu Lin sent a voice message to Yu Xinyan.
"Xu Lin!"
Just then, Yu Xinyan, carrying a backpack, came running excitedly.
"Xu Lin, I’m here!"
"Get in the car," Xu Lin said.
"Oh, who’s that person? Do you know him?"
"Idiot, showing off his old supercar to me," Xu Lin replied.
The young man: ...
