After everyone went into the water, Xia Yuan tried to move in the water for a while and soon mastered the skills of floating and swimming.
"Oh, it turns out that I learned it when I was a child, so I am still very skilled."
"Please put on your swimming cap. I feel like it's about to fall off. Let me help you fix it."
Mei Fang walked over in the water and moved Xia Yuan's swimming cap.
"It's really tiring to put my long hair up and wear a swimming cap..."
While Xia Yuan let Mei Fang fix it for her, she stared at Mei Fang's body.
whee…
She suddenly reached out and poked Mei Fang's chest, and Mei Fang shuddered and turned around.
"Oh my god, you are being a hooligan, aren't you?"
"Fang is so sensitive. I just touched it accidentally. It's not like I haven't touched it before."
"Did you do that accidentally?"
Xia Yuan stuck out his tongue and made a face at Mei Fang, "Well, I did it on purpose, what are you going to do to me? Can you give me some back?"
"Huh..."
In such an occasion, Mei Fang naturally did not dare to be too rude to Xia Yuan, but at this time Lin Youxi had already appeared behind Xia Yuan, lifted up Xia Yuan's ruffles, and then started to attack.
"Shall I avenge Ah Fang?"
Xia Yuan was startled by Lin Youxi's unexpected attack, and then began to howl:
“Ahahahaha Youxi, why are you always on Ah Fang’s side? You’re so annoying. Hahahaha, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong... Let’s practice swimming!”
The three of them were having a great time. At this time, Guo Yun came back from swimming for a while. Mei Fang was worried that she was bored alone, so she took the initiative to talk to her:
"Guo Yun, you seem to be a pretty good swimmer. Do you come here to swim often?"
"Well... because swimming is actually quite physically demanding, it's a highly recommended aerobic exercise, but I just finished a swimming lesson recently."
"Then your theoretical knowledge must be very complete, and you can teach me."
Mei Fang showed a distressed expression, "It's hard for me to even float naturally now."
"Well, this actually does require overcoming some psychological barriers. At the beginning..."
Guo Yun was just about to share her experience of learning to swim with Mei Fang, when she discovered that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were staring at her curiously from behind.
The strong desire to survive made Guo Yun reach out to Xia Yuanlin and Youxi, "Um... How about Yuanyuan and Youxi teach you?"
"It's okay, Yunyun. Since you just learned the system course, you can teach it to Ah Fang. I can also review it."
Xia Yuan didn't want to give Ah Fang the impression of being jealous, as that would make her look narrow-minded. At this time, Lin Youxi also nodded: "Let's share our experiences and teach Ah Fang how to swim. Maybe he can learn faster."
"Three of you are teaching one. You really treat me like a child!"
Mei Fang did not have the opportunity to learn swimming in his previous life, and beaches were not places he would often go to. The only friend around him was Zhang Ming, and he only played games. Later on, he had less and less time to learn swimming, and he had always been a landlubber.
Swimming is a survival skill. Even if there is no final exam, it would be good if you can learn it...
Guo Yun asked Mei Fang to first try to adapt to the feeling of breathing, from breathing on land to breathing on water and then to continuous breathing.
"It's important to master the rhythm of breathing. When swimming, don't think about having a nose. Get used to breathing through your mouth and don't be afraid when your nose touches the water. Um... yes, that's the rhythm..."
“Puff…ha…puff…ha…”
Under the guidance of Guo Yun, Mei Fang held Lin Youxi's hand and practiced breathing hard. So far, she feels in good condition.
"Not bad, not bad. Ah Fang is really great."
Previously, Mei Fang gradually developed a fear of swimming because he could not float in swimming class, but just now he controlled the breathing rhythm well, and he held Lin Youxi's hand steadily.
"That's it, very naturally, relax your body, stretch your arms and legs straight - Yuanyuan, don't use your hands to help Mei Fang, let him do it himself."
Guo Yun's guidance was very patient and professional. After trying several times, Mei Fang soon succeeded in floating naturally under Guo Yun's guidance.
"Great! Alfon succeeded!"
"It's not successful yet, Youxi needs to let go of my hand."
Under Guo Yun's instructions, Lin Youxi slowly let go of Mei Fang's hand, but she could feel that Mei Fang was pulling her very hard. Lin Youxi felt that this was not a solution, so she suddenly withdrew her hand and left.
Mei Fang, who lost her support, was like a baby who lost his mother in his cradle and immediately began to flutter his legs. Everyone went up to hold Mei Fang, but in panic, Mei Fang pulled off Guo Yun's shoulder straps and finally threw herself into Xia Yuan's arms.
Mei Fang's embarrassed posture amused the girls, but everyone took Mei Fang's face into consideration and no one laughed. Xia Yuan even considerately lifted Mei Fang up from the water, patted his back and said soothingly, "Huh... Look at how scared our brother Fang is... It seems we still need to practice a few more times."
Guo Yun blushed as she lifted up the shoulder strap that Mei Fang had nearly pulled off, then cleared her throat and continued, "It seems that Mei Fang is indeed quite afraid of the feeling of being in contact with buoyancy alone..."
Thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts and an afternoon of hard work, Mei Fang, whose progress had been slow, finally began to make some progress and was finally able to swim forward by himself.
Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang's happy expression as she swam forward and waved at them, and suddenly couldn't help but cover her face and mutter:
"I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm seeing my own child finally learn to walk, wuwu—"
"Come to think of it, when we were learning to ride a bicycle before, Ah Fang also worked so hard to teach us." Lin Youxi smiled at Xia Yuan, "Do you still remember what happened at that time?"
"Yes, of course I remember!"
Xia Yuan also smiled and responded, "I remember that because you were a slow learner, Ah Fang always followed you around, and I was jealous."
"After all, my sense of balance has always been poor, even when I was roller skating..."
Guo Yun leaned against the edge of the swimming pool, listening to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi telling stories from the past, and immediately became interested, "The Mei Fang in your memories is more like the deskmate I knew."
Xia Yuan nodded, "Indeed... When I was in junior high school, I always felt that Ah Fang was omnipotent, and I would always think of him first when I had anything to do."
"But it's not bad now, isn't it..."
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "No matter how outstanding Ah Fang is, he is still a person like us. He has his strengths, weaknesses, and fears. We have been relying on Ah Fang's company since we were young, and we can make up for his shortcomings and do things for him."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Guo Yun, "It's the same for you, Guo Yun. Your abilities are indispensable to Ximilu Studio and Ah Fang. However, you are only one person and cannot shoulder all the responsibilities. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yeah... I understand." Guo Yun looked a little guilty. "The progress of Cloud Journey is slow right now. It's because the art department can't keep up with the pace."
"If it's true that we don't have any classmates in high school who are interested in making games, then that's fine. We are now planning to set up a company and will recruit some artists. Of course, most of them will probably be newcomers with little experience..."
Xia Yuan immediately took over the conversation and said, "I saw that you did a good job in guiding Ah Fang just now. Maybe if you take this step and try to communicate more with people other than us, you will find that communication is not that scary, right?"
"Yeah... I understand..."
Guo Yun smiled and nodded. She actually felt a great sense of accomplishment from guiding Mei Fang just now. She had obviously said goodbye to her past self with low self-esteem, but she still had some time to get used to the real self-confidence.
“If I can recruit new artists, or if I have the opportunity to find someone at school that I feel like I can work with, I will… try to communicate more.”
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi unknowingly completed a growth interview with Guo Yun for Mei Fang, while Mei Fang was still immersed in the excitement of learning to swim.
I'm no longer a landlubber, quack quack, puff pu pu pu—
A mediocre swimmer is most likely to drown, and Mei Fang is in this state now.
