This Shouldn't Cost Someone's Life, Right?

He Xinnuo swam and swam, repeatedly without stopping.

At the start, there were still people who were keeping count of her rounds.

By the end, there was no one else who was doing so for her anymore. She did not know how long it had been—it seemed as though she was already done with 1,500m; yet, it seemed as though there were still a little more to go as well.

She had just wanted to stop, but the voice of Boss Lei nagging drifted by her ear the moment she slowed down slightly.

She was so tired that her vision was starting to get blurry, the fatigue causing her body to feel as though it was about to break down as she sank downward. It was only through her greatest efforts that she had managed to remain afloat as she swam ahead.

She did not know why...Just why in the world did she have to suffer as such?

Wasn't this just a single Lu Yanchen?

There were tons of people with money and status out there. Why did she just have to fight with Shi Guang over Lu Yanchen?

He Xinnuo was in regret right now.

If she were to continue swimming, that would most likely spell the end of her swimming career.

No...She had to stop right now.

However, at this point, she wasn't the one who could determine if she wanted to stop anymore.

Lu Yanchen…How was this someone whom she could afford to offend? He was the only one who could call for the stops right now.

At this point, she was just totally confused, unable to comprehend just where in the world she had gone wrong.

Clearly, Lu Yanchen did not like Shi Guang; she could tell that Lu Yanchen DETESTED the latter.

But, why was she the one being messed around by Lu Yanchen instead? She tried her best to recall about how things had come to this point, but just could not figure out what she did that could have offended him.

At this point in time, shouldn't Shi Guang be the one who should be tormented instead? Why did he have a grudge against her instead?

'Damn it! Just where in the world did I go wrong? Could I have been...set up by Shi Guang instead?'

Nearly there, this should be nearly 1,500m by now. But, just as He Xinnuo wanted to get out of the waters, the voice of Boss Lei came by once more, hurrying her to go faster and faster...

Lap after lap, no one knew how many laps there were by now as the entire training hall fell into a deep silence while everyone watched the waters with bated breath.

He Xinnuo's energy was depleting really quickly, such that it could no longer sustain her to continue swimming anymore.

And, the scarier thing was that she had discovered that one of her calves was convulsing, hurting as though she had a cramp. It didn't take long before her entire body starting trembling out as well.

As a mouthful of water filled her throat, she lost her ability to remain afloat and sank down. Grabbing around frantically, she screamed out, "SAVE ME! S-SAVE...!"

This was something big right now. However, there was no one who dared to enter the waters to save her…

…Not even Wu Xing.

Wu Xing was watching for Boss Lei's mood, while the latter was watching for Lu Yanchen's.

Seemingly ignorant of everything, it was as though Lu Yanchen had seen nothing as he continued drinking his own tea.

Just as He Xinnuo had finally lost any bit of ability to even struggle and was sinking down into the depths of the waters, Lu Yanchen finally put down his teacup. "This person is going to drown. What are you guys still standing around for?"

The moment his voice came forth, Wu Xing rushed over and dove right into the waters to save her.

As for Boss Lei, he could finally heave a sigh of relief—he was truly afraid that this would have cost her life!

Just as He Xinnuo thought that this was the end for her, someone hugged her from the back and pulled her all the way up to the water surface.

The moment she could even breathe, she started bawling out in tears.

By the time she came to...she saw a man as beautiful as a God standing beside the pool. Even though he was wearing his home clothes, the aura he exuded forth was one of class. 

The faint smile on his face was colder than a winter's breeze.

"You can't swim anymore?" He asked.

Breaking out into a shiver, He Xinnuo could feel a sense of fear being repressed down onto her by this nobleman.

With trembling lips, she could not help but reply with a single word, "N-No."

Lu Yanchen then narrowed his eyes slightly, "Continue then!"
