Looking at the crystal clear water in the pool, Bai Yue'er hesitated and didn't dare to go in.
Xu Xiuwen sensed her nervousness and jumped into the water first. Then he stood in the water and stretched out his hand to the girl, encouraging her, "Hold my hand and come down. Don't worry, I'm here with you."
Bai Yue'er put her left hand in his, then lifted her left foot and moved closer to the water.
But just as my toes were about to touch the water, a memory of drowning in my childhood suddenly popped up from the depths of my mind.
Bai Yue'er suddenly retracted her foot, screamed and backed away, her face full of fear.
Xu Xiuwen was shocked by Bai Yue'er's reaction.
Noticing the frightened expression on Bai Yue'er's face, he instantly wondered if the girl had any bad memories of water.
He supported himself on the edge of the pool with both hands, jumped up and returned to the ground.
Xu Xiuwen slowly walked towards Bai Yue'er. The girl looked at his wet appearance and yelled, "Don't come over here, I don't want to go in the water!"
Bai Yue'er was extremely resistant to going into the water.
Xu Xiuwen immediately stopped where he was and did not move any closer.
Bai Yue'er retreated again and again until she hit the wall and had nowhere to retreat.
Her beautiful big eyes were full of fear at this moment.
Xu Xiuwen stood there and waited until the girl calmed down. Then he asked softly, "Yue'er, can I get closer to you?"
After a while, she slowly calmed down, and nodded after hearing Xu Xiuwen's words.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen walked over slowly.
After walking in front of the girl, he suddenly reached out and held Bai Yue'er in his arms. His big hands kept stroking the girl's back and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay."
Bai Yue'er leaned in his arms without struggling or resisting, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
After another ten minutes, the girl's sobbing gradually stopped.
Thanks to “朱颜血” for the reward of 500 Qidian coins.
Chapter 117 Accident
Xu Xiuwen slowly let the girl go.
He grabbed the girl's arms with both hands, bent down, put his head close to the girl, and looked directly into her eyes, "Yue'er, can you tell me why you were so scared just now? Do you have any bad memories of water?"
Xu Xiuwen's tone at this moment was extremely gentle, as if he was coaxing a baby to sleep.
Bai Yue'er became calmer and calmer as she listened to his gentle whispers.
Bai Yue'er stared into Xu Xiuwen's eyes, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
But Xu Xiuwen's eyes were firm and he refused to give in.
A few more minutes passed, maybe one minute, maybe five minutes.
Bai Yueer suddenly lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry, I remembered my childhood."
Xu Xiuwen continued gently, "Well, can you tell me about your childhood?"
Bai Yueer was silent.
When Xu Xiuwen thought she would not speak, the girl suddenly whispered, "There is a small river in our village. One summer, my two sisters asked me to go play in the water. I was unlucky and drowned as soon as I entered the water. My sisters were so scared that they ran to the shore. I struggled desperately, but my body sank little by little. Fortunately, Aunt Ge passed by and saved me."
After listening to Bai Yue'er's words, Xu Xiuwen could imagine the scene at that time.
Several young girls went to the river to play in the water. Bai Yue'er accidentally drowned. As a result, the other girls were afraid to stand on the shore and did not dare to get close.
When in the water, the little Bai Yueer must have felt very desperate.
Although he was rescued later, he still has a pang of attachment to rivers and ponds.
This explains why Bai Yue'er, a country girl, can't swim.
When Xu Xiuwen was a child, he would go back to his grandmother's house during the summer vacation. In the village where his grandmother lived, no one could not swim. As soon as summer came, they would go swimming in groups. It was hard not to learn how to swim.
After knowing the reason why she was afraid of water, Xu Xiuwen felt quite sorry for Bai Yue'er.
He gently held the girl in his arms and comforted her, "It's okay, these things are in the past. You won't drown again with me here."
A few minutes passed.
Bai Yueer said, "I'm fine, please let me go. After all, I'm your roommate's fiancée, and it's not good to hug each other like this."
After hearing what the girl said, Xu Xiuwen slowly let go of her hand.
Bai Yueer took a step back, tidied her hair with her hands, then looked at Xu Xiuwen and said, "Can you teach me how to swim next?"
"But aren't you afraid of water?"
Bai Yueer forced a smile, her eyes were serious: "But I have to take this step, after all, I still have to act, I can't stop learning because of fear, I can't affect the crew's filming progress because of me."
This is the truth, but Xu Xiuwen is still a little worried, "Are you really okay?"
Bai Yueer smiled and said, "I was not prepared just now, but I won't be prepared now."
Xu Xiuwen sighed, "Okay, do you want to take a break and study again?"
Bai Yueer shook her head. "No need. Time is tight. Let's study quickly."
After hearing Bai Yue'er say this, Xu Xiuwen had no reason to stop her.
He jumped into the swimming pool first, then stood in the shallow water and looked at Bai Yue'er.
The water in the shallow area was only one meter deep, barely reaching Xu Xiuwen's knees.
Bai Yue'er walked carefully to the edge of the swimming pool. She wanted to jump in like Xu Xiuwen, but she didn't have the courage. In the end, she chose to sit down and slowly put her legs into the water.
The cold pool water gradually flowed from the toes to the knees, and then to the thighs.
Bai Yue'er closed her eyes, supported herself on the ground with both hands, and jumped down.
Xu Xiuwen was standing right in front of her, and fearing that she would panic, he quickly pinched the girl's slender waist with his hands.
The slender waist felt great to the touch, but Xu Xiuwen's attention was not on that.
He steadied the girl and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Bai Yue'er had her eyes closed the whole time, and only opened them slowly after hearing Xu Xiuwen's words.
Her body was tense, but she had a sweet smile on her face, "I'm fine. It's not scary at all."
Xu Xiuwen did not expose her, but maintained this posture for two minutes. Feeling the muscles on the girl's waist gradually relax, he carefully let go of her hand.
Bai Yue'er's emotions gradually calmed down. She turned around in the water, then looked up at Xu Xiuwen and said with a smile, "I said everything is fine."
"Well, well done." Xu Xiuwen was generous with his praise.
When Bai Yueer heard the compliment, she was very happy, as if she was praised by her teacher.
"Okay, teach me how to swim."
"Okay." Xu Xiuwen nodded.
"First, feel the feeling of your whole body entering the water."
As he spoke, he slowly squatted down and submerged his entire body in the water, leaving only his head exposed.
Bai Yueer saw his movements and started to imitate them.
The water surface gradually covered the girl's waistline, chest, then the bony collarbone, and finally the slender pink neck.
Bai Yueer successfully sank herself into the water. She was very excited and shouted happily, "I did it."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he lost his balance and sank into the water instantly.
After the water submerged the head, it suddenly poured into the mouth, nostrils and ears.
Bai Yue'er panicked instantly, waving her hands around and flapping her legs, but she just couldn't stand still.
Xu Xiuwen did not expect the accident to happen suddenly, so he hurried forward and tried to help the girl up.
However, people who are not good at swimming will instantly lose their composure once they fall into water and will grab anything they can.
Not to mention that Bai Yue'er drowned when she was a child.
After feeling Xu Xiuwen's body, Bai Yue'er grabbed a life-saving straw and clung to him.
A struggle.
Bai Yue'er's final posture was with her two slender long legs exposed and tightly wrapped around Xu Xiuwen's waist.
Two white and tender arms also tightly embraced Xu Xiuwen's neck.
His head was pressed tightly against Xu Xiuwen's neck.
She was breathing heavily.
This posture was far more intimate than when she leaned in Xu Xiuwen's arms by the swimming pool, but Bai Yue'er had no time to care about that at the moment.
Xu Xiuwen remained in this position without moving until the girl calmed down again, and then said, "It's okay now, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xu Xiuwen was like giving Bai Yueer an injection.
A shot in the arm.
Bai Yue'er's heart was beating fast, but her emotions gradually calmed down.
