Chapter 99 - She Wanted to Go Swimming

Chapter 99: She Wanted to Go Swimming

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not jump into the water immediately. Instead, she sat by the pool and stuck her feet into the pool to get used to the temperature. After that, she jumped in with a plop.

Lu Wanggui, who had always been calm, finally felt his heart racing for the first time. The splashes from her jumping into the pool wet the bottom of his pants. Lu Wanggui suddenly regretted it, he should have let her stay at Teacher Yang’s place today. At least Teacher Yang did not have a swimming pool for her to swim in.

Now, he was like a parent, nervously staring at the children playing in the swimming pool.

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know Lu Wanggui’s thoughts. She swam around the pool like a mermaid, occasionally showing off her swimming skills, such as breaststroke, butterfly stroke, freestyle…

Every time she changed to a different style, Lu Wanggui’s temples would suddenly twitch. In the end, he really did not know what to do. He gently coaxed her, “Good girl, it’s late. Let’s go back to sleep.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not listen and continued to swim happily in the pool.

But after a while, she was tired. Reality proved that one could not swim for long after drinking. After only ten minutes, she was exhausted. Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that her calf seemed to be cramping. She had just frowned when Lu Wanggui, who was standing by the pool, noticed it. He knew that this would happen and jumped in the water and swam in her direction.

A strong arm scooped her up and the two of them emerged from the water. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s small and delicate face was wet. There were water droplets on her long eyelashes. She looked pitiful.

However, in the next second, she burst out laughing and approached him without any scruples. “Thank you for saving me.”

Lu Wanggui was afraid that she would fall into the water again, so he subconsciously hugged her waist. The distance between the two of them was very, very close.

The moonlight was bright above their heads, and there were only the two of them in the pool.

Lu Wanggui was about to speak when he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan extend her fair and slender arms and hold his face with both hands. Lu Wanggui froze.

Alcohol always causes trouble. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s brain was not working properly, and she had lost her usual rationality and restraint. In her mind, the man in front of her was nameless. She did not know him, nor did she care who he was, it was just that this person’s appearance and temperament unexpectedly fulfilled her aesthetic criteria.

She could not wait for the things she liked, she had to take them.

In a lifetime, there were too few things that one truly liked. Therefore, once she found the things that she truly liked, she had to get her hands on them. This was Xiang Xiaoyuan’s principle as a person.

Xiang Xiaoyuan, who had been in a few relationships, was naturally not a novice when it came to flirting with men. She would never directly express her interest, nor would she directly make a move.

For example, at the moment…

She brought her face closer bit by bit. When she felt his hot breath, she suddenly stopped when the tip of their noses were about to touch.

She raised her head slightly, and her bright eyes curved into a crescent. She smiled, and the water droplets slid down her forehead to the corner of her eyes. Then, they flowed down like mermaid tears.

A dark light surged in Lu Wanggui’s eyes.

As the saying went, alcohol emboldens a person. Without rationality, she revealed her true form. She regarded the man in front of her as her prey. When their eyes met, she did not avoid it at all. She was passionate and bold.

Lu Wanggui was still staring at her deeply. Perhaps his gaze was too focused, he forgot to let go of the big hand that was wrapped around her waist.

He stared at her silently. There was an indescribable look in his eyes, but he did not take it any further.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was not discouraged.

In the few relationships before she transmigrated, there were also a few men that she pursued. However, her approach was different from others. She would not take the initiative to express her interest, instead, she would slowly seduce the man who might not have much interest in her. Then, she would actively pursue him.

Life was too short. Who knew when an accident might happen? Naturally, she wanted to do what she wanted when she was alive.

To Xiang Xiaoyuan, this kind of intimacy between a man and a woman was the most vivid and memorable. When they were really together, the intimacy between a couple was boring.

Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly withdrew from Lu Wanggui’s embrace and tried to stabilize her body. She turned her head and asked, “It’s still early. Let’s play a game.”

Lu Wanggui remained silent.

Xiang Xiaoyuan pouted. “Are you mute?”

Lu Wanggui opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s late. It’s time to rest.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at him in surprise. “Why do you need to rest? People shouldn’t think about rest all the time. They will sleep after they die. Sleeping now is a waste of time.”
