I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

Twelve o'clock in the morning.

Su Youzi closed her laptop and went downstairs.

The villa was unusually quiet, with only the gym at the end of the first-floor corridor still lit up.

Su Youzi pushed open the door.

Duan Xingye turned around abruptly and saw Su Youzi standing at the door in her pajamas, looking like a frightened little rabbit.

"You...how did you get here?"

Duan Xingye hurriedly put down the dumbbells and grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat off his body haphazardly.

Su Youzi never expected to stumble upon such a sensual scene.

Duan Xingye's muscular physique looked even more alluring in the dim light, especially his eight-pack abs, which made her want to reach out and touch them.

She unconsciously swallowed, but her eyes swept over his abs with feigned composure.

He feigned disgust and said, "Exercising shirtless? Are you being indecent?"

Duan Xingye was left speechless by her sudden accusation, shaking his head helplessly.

"Princess Su, I'm always the only one here at this hour. Who's being indecent here?"

"If you're going to exercise, why are you taking off your clothes?" Su Youzi crossed her arms and looked at him warily.

"I..." Duan Xingye was speechless for a moment, "It's hot."

He had a towel around his neck, and suddenly laughed.

"Are you here to find me?"

Su Youzi was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting the purpose of her trip because of her good looks, and asked, "You can swim, right?"

"Of course," Duan Xingye nodded.

"Teach me how to tread water," Su Youzi said matter-of-factly, without any hint of asking for help.

Duan Xingye glanced at her and said sourly, "There will be plenty of men willing to teach you tomorrow."

Su Youzi knew, of course, that as soon as she spoke, those men would swarm toward her like sharks smelling fish.

But...

The thought of those men possibly touching her waist or grabbing her hand made her feel disgusted.

"Are you going to teach me or not?" Su Youzi frowned and glared at him.

"Teach me, teach me, teach me." Duan Xingye put on a helpless look. "I'm going to change into my swimming trunks."

Su Youzi secretly glanced at Duan Xingye, and the image of him wearing swim trunks, revealing his muscular physique, flashed through her mind.

Her cheeks immediately flushed crimson.

No, no! What are you thinking!

She quickly shook her head, trying to shake off the inappropriate images in her mind.

"So domineering? You won't even let me change my clothes." Duan Xingye walked to her side and tilted his head to look at her.

"Huh?" Su Youzi was stunned for a moment, her face turning even redder. "Change, I'll go change into my swimsuit too."

Su Youzi returned to her room, opened her suitcase, and found it full of all kinds of bikinis.

There was no other way; this was the only swimsuit available.

She changed into her swimsuit, put on a bathrobe, and went downstairs.

We arrived at the swimming pool.

Duan Xingye was already sitting on the recliner playing on his phone. When he saw her arrive, he put his phone aside.

What's your swimming skill level?

"I can do the breaststroke, but I can only swim to the end; I can't tread water."

“Treading water is very simple.” Duan Xingye glanced at Su Youzi’s fingers. “How are your fingers?”

"Nothing's wrong at all," Su Youzi said nonchalantly, while taking off her bathrobe and placing it on the recliner.

Duan Xingye was stunned when he saw her appear in front of him in a sexy swimsuit.

The swimsuit perfectly accentuated her shapely figure, and her fair skin seemed to glow under the lights.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?" Su Youzi noticed his burning gaze and gave him a coquettish glare.

"Ahem..." Duan Xingye coughed awkwardly and quickly looked away. "Don't you have any normal swimsuits?"

Su Youzi sighed, her heart filled with despair, and said:

"No, they're all bikinis. The thought of wearing them tomorrow is a bit of a hassle, but I don't have time to buy a swimsuit."

Duan Xingye frowned.

Walking to the poolside, I said, "Let's warm up first."

The two warmed up by the pool for a while.

Duan Xingye went into the water first and said, "The water temperature is okay, not too cold."

Su Youzi walked to the edge of the pool, put on her swimming goggles, and carefully entered the water.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here with you," Duan Xingye said gently, then reached out his hand, gesturing for Su Youzi to take it.

Su Youzi hesitated for a moment, but still offered him her hand.

Duan Xingye's hand was warm and strong, giving her a strange sense of security.

"Is it cold?"

Su Youzi shook her head, "It's alright."

"Dive into the water and watch how I tread water." Duan Xingye treaded water with ease.

Su Youzi took a deep breath and plunged into the water.

The cool pool water enveloped her body, bringing a slight shiver.

She opened her eyes, and everything underwater became bizarre and surreal, but Duan Xingye's figure was clearly visible.

He was floating in the water, relaxed and at ease, as if he were one with the water.

The water rippled gently, outlining his strong and smooth muscle lines. From his broad shoulders to his lean waist and powerful thighs, every part of him exuded masculine strength, making Su Youzi blush and her heart race.

"What are you looking at!" Su Youzi quickly shook her head.

She thrashed about in the water for a while, but couldn't find her balance and ended up choking on several mouthfuls of water.

"Cough cough cough..." Su Youzi surfaced in a disheveled state, wiping the water off her face.

Duan Xingye couldn't help but laugh as he watched her struggle in the water.

"Who told you to thrash around over there? Come here, come over here."

As he spoke, he swam toward the middle of the pool, his broad shoulders creating graceful ripples on the water's surface.

Su Youzi hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and bravely swam towards him.

However, she overestimated her physical strength, and halfway through the swim, she tried to stand up but couldn't touch the bottom.

"Duan Xingye, I... I can't touch the bottom of the pool," Su Youzi cried out in a panic, her voice trembling with tears.

Upon hearing her voice, Duan Xingye immediately turned and swam back, scooping her into his arms. "How could you be so clumsy? It's only 1.5 meters deep here. You can stand up."

Su Youzi instinctively reached out and hugged his neck, pressing her whole body against his.

"No, I can't stand up."

The warm touch of their skin made Duan Xingye's breathing quicken.

He quickly tried to let go of her.

Su Youzi hugged him even tighter, her voice trembling with tears, "Do you want to drown me?"

"Su Youzi, are you an octopus?"

Duan Xingye let out a low growl, his body tensing instinctively, a surge of heat rushing to his head.

This girl is so good at hugging; her soft parts are pressed tightly against him, making it hard for him to ignore her.

Su Youzi's mind went completely blank at that moment.

What octopus!

She was almost drowning!

"I don't care, I'm scared, you, you don't move..." She clung tightly to Duan Xingye's neck, afraid that if she let go, she would sink.

Duan Xingye felt like she was about to strangle him.

This girl looks thin and weak, but she's actually quite strong.

"Let go first, and I'll teach you how to tread water. I promise you won't drown."

He tried to make his tone sound calm, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed his unease.
