The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

After a morning, she was able to hold onto the float and swim a short distance in the shallow water.

"I can swim!" She lifted her head from the water, her face covered in water. "Look, senior, I can really swim!"

"Hmm, you've improved." Lin Feng chimed in protectively, "Don't get cocky, take a break first."

Huo Siyu stood up from the shallow water and walked step by step towards the shore.

Water streamed down her body, completely soaking her light blue one-piece swimsuit, which clung tightly to her skin, its dark color clearly outlining the contours beneath the fabric.

Unaware of her own presence, she walked to the edge of the pool, raised her hand to gather her long hair to one side, and bent down to twist it.

With this bending over, her chest was immediately filled even more, and a snow-white mound almost squeezed out of her neckline.

Lin Feng was sitting on a bench when he casually glanced around and happened to see this scene.

The hand holding the water bottle paused for a moment.

In a split second, he calmly shifted his gaze to the distant water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and slowly took a sip of water.

"Senior, tell me about yourself."

Huo Siyu, wrapped in a bath towel, sat down next to him, but then felt awkward sitting there, so she simply moved to the edge of the pool, lay down, her lower body still submerged in the water, her legs gently swaying underwater, her hands folded on the edge of the pool, her chin resting on her hands, and tilted her head to look at him.

"I'm really curious." She counted on her fingers, "You can swim, you know finance, and you explain things better than our teachers. You're only a graduate student, how do you know so much?"

Lin Feng subtly moved to the side, finding a position where he could only see her profile.

"You'll naturally learn a little bit after spending a long time in society."

"You mentioned before that you went to work for a logistics company during college?"

"Yes, I'm working part-time while studying."

"What do you all do?"

"I did everything," Lin Feng said. "Loading and unloading, following trucks, watching the warehouse, and later, after I got to know it, I became a dispatcher."

"Are you tired?" She frowned, her tone suggesting that she was the one who was exhausted.

"I didn't realize it back then."

"Tell me about it!" She moved closer to him. "I've never seen anything like it before, it must be really interesting."

Lin Feng thought about it for a moment, and then actually told her something.

"It was my first time delivering goods in a truck. In the middle of summer, the truck was like a sauna. I spent the whole afternoon moving goods and got several blisters on my hands."

The boss treated me to boxed lunches that night, five yuan a serving. I squatted on the curb to eat, and guess what? I think it was the most delicious meal I've ever had in my life.

Huo Siyu's eyes widened in astonishment.

Five-yuan boxed lunches, calloused hands, and a train carriage like a steamer—these things were too far removed from her life.

"Then why did you stop doing it later?"

"I've been doing it all along," Lin Feng said frankly. "After graduation, I went back and worked for more than half a year, starting as a junior coordinator and working my way up to being able to manage a whole bunch of things."

"Then why did you come back to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"When you get involved in big things, you realize you don't have enough knowledge." He looked at the water. "So many people rely on you for their livelihood. If you give bad advice, you'll harm them. So I came back to brush up on my skills."

"Wow..." she said, resting her chin on her hand, "You can endure hardship and you know what you want. Compared to you, I'm practically a useless person."

"You're only eighteen, what's the rush?"

"So what do you want to do in the future?"

"Do something of your own," Lin Feng said calmly. "Make the logistics business bigger."

In his words, the top ten logistics empires in China became "the logistics business."

Huo Siyu listened intently, unaware of the details; she simply found it fascinating.

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end she couldn't resist and mustered up her courage.

"Then why are you working so hard..." Her voice trailed off, "...without anyone to keep you company?"

Lin Feng turned his head to look at her.

Her face flushed red, and she forced herself to finish what she had to say.

"I mean... if you're so great, how come you don't have a girlfriend?"

Lin Feng found it a little funny to see her looking shy yet determined to get to the bottom of things, and casually said...

"No," he said. "I've been too busy to meet anyone suitable."

Huo Siyu didn't reply. She leaned back on her arms, burying half her face, leaving only her eyes showing. But those eyes, which never hid anything, were secretly smiling.

"You and I are exactly the opposite."

After a while, she spoke in a muffled voice.

"My family is in Hong Kong, but my parents' business also extends to the mainland, with them spending most of their time in Shenzhen." She looked at the shimmering water. "They're always very busy. From childhood to adulthood, my family has only had our nanny and driver; we hardly ever see each other throughout the year."

"Originally, after graduating from high school, I wanted to study in the UK." She smiled, a hint of helplessness in her smile. "My parents disagreed, saying it was too chaotic outside, and they were afraid that I, a girl, would go astray, or get into trouble. After much persuasion, they finally sent me back to the mainland and insisted on arranging a driver to follow me every day."

As she spoke, she glanced subconsciously at the entrance of the swimming pool.

"I'm eighteen years old," she said softly. "In their eyes, I'm still that little kid who'll get lost."

"Being protected isn't all bad," Lin Feng said. "They're afraid of losing you."

"I know." She turned to look at him, "but I'm quite envious of you. You can go wherever you want, on your own. As for me, I have someone following me even when I go out."

"You're just not grown up yet," Lin Feng said steadily. "Once you can be independent, no one can stop you."

"Why is what you said different from what my dad said?" She rested her chin on her hand. "My dad just says it's too chaotic outside."

"It is indeed chaotic outside," Lin Feng said, "but you can't stay away from the outside world your whole life just because you're afraid of chaos."

Huo Siyu looked at him without saying a word.

A strand of wet hair slipped down from her ear and clung to her cheek. She reached out to brush it away but couldn't. Lin Feng naturally raised his hand and tucked the strand of wet hair behind her ear, gently wiping her damp earlobe with his fingertips.

"You'll get out," he said.

Huo Siyu's words caught in her throat.

She lay by the pool, her heart pounding. After a long while, she whispered, "Senior, I believe everything you say."

After practicing for a while in the afternoon, she was able to swim more than ten meters on her own with the help of the float.

"Come back tomorrow to reinforce your posture, and you'll be fine." Lin Feng packed his things. "Same time as always."

"OK!"

That night, Huo Siyu took a hot shower in her dorm, and after drying her hair until it was half dry, she sent him a message.

She typed and deleted, and finally sent out a very serious message.

"Senior, thank you so much for today. I probably wouldn't have dared to go into the water if it weren't for you. You taught me exceptionally well and were incredibly patient."

After sending it, she stared at the screen for a while, and then did something she had never done to any boy before.

She raised her phone, pointed it at herself, and took a picture.

In the photo, her hair is still a little wet, loosely draped over her shoulders. She is wearing a light-colored loungewear, has just taken a shower, and has little makeup on her face. She looks clean and gentle, and has a smile that she can't hide as she faces the camera.

I looked at that photo and hesitated for a long time.

She wasn't the type of girl who would casually send selfies to guys; her upbringing made her reserved. But she just wanted him to see her as she was now.

I took a deep breath, sent the photo, and immediately slammed my phone face down on the bed, buried myself under the covers, my face burning hot.

After a long silence, she secretly took out her phone.

Raymond Lam responded.

"Remember to dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold again."

The next line follows.

"You did well today, keep going tomorrow."

Below that is a very lewd expression.

Huo Siyu stared at that expression, stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, she covered her mouth and laughed, hugging her phone and curling up in the blanket. The uncertain joy in her heart was completely melted by his words of advice and his expression.

Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory on the other side, Lin Feng looked at the photo, his finger pausing on the screen for a moment.

The girl in the photo has a clean smile, with her eyebrows and eyes curved, and her canine tooth is faintly visible.

After looking at it for a few seconds, I realized I had been looking at it for a while, so I locked my phone and put it on the table.

The next day, Huo Siyu came to a realization.

She never wore that swimsuit again, which was a size too small and made her uncomfortable.

She changed into a white one-piece swimsuit.

White is the most selective color, but it also best accentuates the figure.
