I'm in Wuha, and the whole internet is shipping me and Song Yuqi as a couple.

Jiang Che didn't say anything.

He simply turned his head slowly, his gaze calmly falling on Chen He.

There was no anger or turmoil in his eyes; they were as calm as the sea before a storm.

Chen He felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but he still tried to keep a straight face.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It's just playing a game; isn't it normal for there to be some physical contact and accidental injury?"

Jiang Che ignored him and instead looked down at Song Yuqi in his arms, speaking very softly.

"Were you scared?"

Song Yuqi shook her head, wiped the water droplets from her face, and glared at Chen He with a hint of anger.

"He went too far."

"Hmm," Jiang Che responded, his tone devoid of emotion, "It was quite excessive."

He released his hand from Song Yuqi's waist and took half a step back.

"Wait here for me a moment."

"Some scores need to be settled gradually."

After saying that, he turned around and, like an arrow released from a bow, silently submerged into the water.

Only a small ripple remained on the water's surface.

Before Chen He could react, he felt the large white goose beneath him suddenly sink.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force came from underwater, flipping him and his mount upside down.

"ah--"

Chen He let out a scream as he was plunged upside down into the water, with only his legs flailing helplessly outside.

The next second, Jiang Che's figure burst out of the water beside him, still holding the water gun that had just belonged to Chen He.

He nimbly climbed ashore, walked to the edge of the pool, and pulled the trigger on Chen He, who was still struggling in the water.

A powerful jet of water shot precisely into Chen He's face.

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Chen He had just poked his head out to catch his breath when he was drenched, choking and bringing tears to his eyes.

"Jiang Che! You attacked me from behind! You have no sportsmanship!"

Jiang Che continued firing expressionlessly, the water jets chasing Chen He's head, giving him no chance to look up.

Deng Chao watched from afar, his heart pounding with fear, yet at the same time feeling incredibly relieved.

"See that? That's how top predators hunt. Elegant, so incredibly elegant."

Lu Han sipped her juice and nodded in deep agreement.

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit."

The live stream room was already filled with "hahahahaha".

[Awesome! So awesome! I could watch this a hundred times!]

Jiang Che: I don't usually hold grudges; if I do, I settle them on the spot.

[Chen He: I feel like my intelligence and dignity have been washed away by this jet of water.]

Now the whole country knows, so please don't disturb Lyricist's love life.

Jiang Che had had his fill of playing, so he casually threw the water gun on the ground and jumped back into the pool.

He swam to Song Yuqi's side, as if he hadn't been the cold-blooded "assassin" just moments before, and his face regained its gentle expression.

"Okay, let's continue."

Song Yuqi looked at Chen He, who was still questioning his existence in the water not far away, and then at Jiang Che, who looked completely innocent in front of her. She couldn't help but laugh.

She found herself increasingly enjoying watching him effortlessly dominate the scene.

"You looked so handsome just now," she whispered.

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, his mood noticeably improving.

He supported her waist again, helping her regain her balance in the water.

"Where were we in the lesson?"

"Learned...how to float."

"Okay, now let's learn how to breathe."

Jiang Che adjusted his posture and hugged her from behind.

This posture is even more intimate than when we were face to face.

His chest pressed tightly against her back, and his warm breath brushed against her ear as he spoke.

"Relax your body, put your head in the water, and slowly exhale through your mouth until you see bubbles."

"Then turn your head to the side and inhale."

Song Yuqi's cheeks instantly burned, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

This isn't teaching her to swim; it's clearly testing her cardiopulmonary function.

She could clearly feel his strong arms wrapped around her waist, with an irresistible force.

She could even smell the pleasant scent on him, a blend of sunshine and pool water.

"Focus." Jiang Che's voice rang in her ear, tinged with laughter.

Song Yuqi calmed herself down and forced herself to focus on swimming.

Following Jiang Che's instructions, she submerged her head in the water and slowly exhaled.

As she watched the strings of bubbles rise before her eyes, her nervousness strangely vanished.

Then, she tried to turn her head to the side and take a deep breath.

"Yes, that's it, very well done."

Jiang Che's praise greatly boosted her confidence.

She began to repeat the action over and over again, and gradually, from being stiff at the beginning, she became more and more skilled.

Jiang Che patiently stayed by her side, providing her with the most stable support with his own body.

Deng Chao and Chen He had given up on being third wheels and were now lounging on deck chairs on the shore, watching the "teaching scene" unfold.

"If we had been this patient back then, wouldn't we be in relationships by now?" Chen He remarked with a touch of emotion.

Deng Chao rolled his eyes.

"You? You can't even take care of yourself, and you want to take care of others?"

"How come I can't take good care of myself?"

"Who used my toothpaste as face wash in the middle of the night at the hotel last time?"

Chen He: "..."

The viewers in the live stream were amused by these two clowns again.

[This is amazing! Aside from Jiang Che and Song Yuqi, everyone else on this show, "Five Ha," is just there to provide laughs.]

[Chao Ge and He Ge, a pair with a love-hate relationship.]

Why do I suddenly feel sorry for them?

With Jiang Che's protection, Song Yuqi was able to swim a short distance on her own.

She turned around excitedly, wanting to share her joy with him.

"Jiang Che, look! I can..."

She turned her head, and her lips brushed against his cheek perfectly.

A soft, warm touch.

All the sounds around seemed to disappear.

Song Yuqi's eyes widened suddenly, and the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.

Jiang Che also paused.

He could clearly see her individual eyelashes trembling slightly, and he could see a beautiful pink blush quickly spreading across her fair cheeks.

The pool water rippled, and sunlight shone on the surface, scattering into golden spots.

The atmosphere instantly changed.

"Cough cough cough—"

A deafening cough shattered the tranquility.

Deng Chao jumped up from the deck chair, pointed at the two people in the pool, and looked shocked.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"

Chen He also joined in the commotion.

"In broad daylight! Under the clear blue sky! You two actually... actually kissed while teaching swimming!"

Lu Han silently raised her phone and turned on the recording function.

Song Yuqi's face flushed red, turning as red as a boiled shrimp.

She hurriedly broke free from Jiang Che's embrace and turned to run towards the shore.

Jiang Che, however, quickly grabbed her wrist.

He looked at her flushed ears and chuckled softly.

"Why are you running?"

"I didn't run away!" Song Yuqi stubbornly insisted, not daring to turn her head.

Jiang Che didn't argue with her. He used a little force in his arms and picked her up horizontally.

"Ah!" Song Yuqi exclaimed, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.

He carried her and walked steadily ashore.

Deng Chao and Chen He on the shore were dumbfounded.

[Ahhh, I'm dead! Jiang Che's boyfriend power is off the charts!]

Please, let's get married now! I'm willing to pay 9.9 yuan for the civil affairs bureau!

Jiang Che placed Song Yuqi on the recliner, picked up a dry bath towel from the side, and wrapped her up completely.

He casually dried his hair, water droplets sliding down the ends and disappearing into the nape of his neck.

"Alright, that concludes today's swimming lesson."

He glanced at the sky; the sun was already beginning to set.

Just then, the loudspeaker in the villa courtyard suddenly came on, and it was Wu Zheng's familiar yet irritating voice.

Good afternoon, dear guests.

"To make your experience even richer, the production team has decided that you will have to cook dinner yourselves."

Wu Zheng's barely suppressed laughter came over the radio.

Enjoy your meal, everyone.

Chen He was the first to jump up.

"What the hell?"

Deng Chao also realized what was happening.

"Does Wu Zheng mean we have to start our own fire and cook for ourselves?"

Lu Han sighed.

"The most crucial thing is that we don't even have any ingredients."
