“I’ll teach you,” Gu Shaoting said without hesitation, taking Shu Pan to change into swimsuits.
“No, I’m scared,” Shu Pan refused, resisting. Just the thought of getting into the water made her feel weak.
“It’s a survival skill. There’s nothing wrong with learning. It could come in handy in the future,” Gu Shaoting persuaded earnestly. Learning to swim could help her in various situations.
“But…” Shu Pan hesitated, still feeling afraid.
“How about this? I’ll buy you a swim ring. You can play in the water with it first to get used to it,” Gu Shaoting suggested, noticing a shop nearby selling swim rings.
“Okay.” With a swim ring, Shu Pan could accept it. Getting into the water with it wouldn’t be so bad. She actually wanted to learn, but her fear held her back.
Gu Shaoting led Shu Pan to the small shop near the beach. Inside, there was a girl dressed provocatively, catching Shu Pan’s attention.
Ignoring the girl, Gu Shaoting casually looked at the swim rings in the shop.
The shop owner’s eyes lit up when she saw Gu Shaoting, thinking he was quite handsome. She approached him enthusiastically, completely disregarding Shu Pan beside him.
Unfortunately for her, Gu Shaoting didn’t spare her a glance. He simply pointed at a yellow swim ring and said, “I’ll take this one.”
The shop owner, trying to be flirtatious, said, “Sure thing.”
Handing the swim ring to Gu Shaoting, she smiled flirtatiously and asked, “Hey handsome, where are you from?”
“I’m here on my honeymoon with my wife,” Gu Shaoting replied coolly, unfazed by her attempts at flirtation. He had encountered such situations too many times before.
Feeling awkward, Shu Pan realized that the shop owner’s question wasn’t about their honeymoon.
After Gu Shaoting paid, he held Shu Pan’s hand and walked away.
Gu Shaoting had developed a habit of holding her hand whenever they went out. When Shu Pan asked him about it yesterday, he said he was afraid she might get lost in a foreign country.
As they walked away, Shu Pan couldn’t help but feel indignant. “That was too much, too audacious. I was standing right beside you, yet that shop owner dared to openly flirt with you!”
It’s fortunate that Gu Shaoting was not an ordinary person, with such good composure.
“Feeling jealous?” Gu Shaoting chuckled softly.
“Not really, just…” Shu Pan couldn’t find the right words.
But it was understandable. Anyone would get upset in such a situation. With someone openly flirting with her husband, could she really pretend not to notice?
Of course, Gu Shaoting wasn’t one to encourage attention from others, so the topic could be dropped.
“Let’s go, I’ll teach you how to swim.” Gu Shaoting led Shu Pan to change into a conservative one-piece swimsuit and headed towards the water.
There were many people vacationing on the beach, probably many of them here for their honeymoon, just like them.
Groups of people were scattered around, having a great time.
Shu Pan felt nervous when she saw the blue sea. She had once nearly drowned in the shallow area of a swimming pool, which was a humiliating experience.
Now, just touching the water made her apprehensive. After all, the water was too shallow for a swim ring. Gu Shaoting held her hand and guided her towards deeper water.
“Shaoting, I’m scared,” Shu Pan said when the water reached her belly button. She didn’t have the courage to go any further.
“It’s okay, I’ll support you. You can put on the swim ring now. Try to float and feel the pressure of the water,” Gu Shaoting patiently and gently instructed Shu Pan.
With Gu Shaoting by her side, Shu Pan gained confidence and slowly slid her hands across the water.
