"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.
