Chapter 235: They Didnt Simply Come Here to Learn Swimming

To successfully pass the end-of-term swimming exam, Mei Fang needed to intensify his swimming practice. He talked to Guo Yun about the gym’s swimming pool, and she invited them to try out the pool where she was working out.

Guo Yun mentioned that the swimming pool offered a free first visit, and if they liked it, they could get a membership.

The gym was conveniently located near Jiangcheng NOHS, so after discussing it with Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, they decided to give it a try over the weekend.

The day before, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi went to a nearby mall to pick out swimsuits together, one of the few occasions Mei Fang didn’t join them. He took advantage of their absence to enjoy some single-player video games at home.

On Sunday, after a meal, the trio headed to the gym where Guo Yun was working out.

Mei Fang had noticed that Guo Yun’s family situation had improved recently. In middle school, she had been quite frugal, but her spending and tastes had noticeably upgraded since high school, indicating a significant improvement in her family’s financial status.

Guo Yun had been looking forward to this first meet-up after their New Year gathering for quite some time. She arrived at the gym early and greeted them enthusiastically at the entrance.

“Long time no see!”

“It’s been nearly half a year.”

Having seen Guo Yun’s determination during last year’s gathering, Xia Yuan wasn’t too surprised by her physical transformation. Guo Yun was no longer even remotely overweight.

She was wearing a crop top under her jacket, revealing a bit of her midriff. Faint muscle definition could also be seen on her abdomen.

Xia Yuan smiled and patted Guo Yun’s shoulder, “I could recognize you immediately this time. Your figure looks amazing now, you even have abs!”

“Ah, this... it’s not really abs yet, still a long way to go,” Guo Yun replied modestly.

Lin Youxi asked, “Guo Yun, now that your figure looks great, how long do you plan to keep training?”

“Well... I used to think about ending this “torture” soon, but now it’s become more of a hobby. I can’t sleep without working out for at least an hour a day. Let’s talk inside.”

Guo Yun led them into the gym, warmly greeting the resident trainer and explaining the purpose of their visit. The trainer was enthusiastic, inviting Mei Fang and the others to look around and use all the facilities, including the swimming pool.

“Wow, are those photos of you, Yun Yun? Looks like you’re quite famous at this gym.”

Guo Yun noticed where Mei Fang was looking and quickly ran over in panic to block the view, waving her hands.

“Don’t look too closely! These photos look like mugshots, they’re pretty bad.”

Mei Fang answered reluctantly, “It looks good... but it’s a bit too revealing.”

“Why are you saying the same thing as Yuan Yuan?” Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang, “She said this swimsuit doesn’t look like something a high schooler would wear.”

“It really doesn’t. It’s too mature!”

“So that means you don’t like it?”

“That’s definitely not what I meant!”

“What are you guys talking about? You’re not badmouthing me, are you?”

At this point, Xia Yuan also walked over, and Mei Fang immediately activated his balancing skills to praise Xia Yuan:

“Of course not, we were just talking about how your swimsuit is also——”

From Mei Fang’s perspective, looking at Xia Yuan, and seeing her up close was quite different from seeing her from a distance, where the ruffles didn’t seem as significant. Up close, it felt like the grandeur of standing atop a peak, taking in a panoramic view.

Although Mei Fang had experienced this many times, the concealed beauty wrapped in ruffles had a certain charm, much like the proverb “not knowing the true face of Mount Lu, only because one is within the mountain.”

“Also? Also what? Ah Fang, don’t just stop halfway——”

Noticing Mei Fang’s intense gaze, Xia Yuan felt both pleased and annoyed. She lifted her leg as if to kick Mei Fang and said, “Stinky Ah Fang, where are you looking?!”

Lifting a leg by the poolside is quite dangerous. The lifeguard blew his whistle repeatedly at Xia Yuan, startling her. She slipped and nearly fell into the pool, but Lin Youxi grabbed her arm while Mei Fang stood up and held her leg, preventing any mishap.

They didn’t simply come here to learn swimming today, did they?

Guo Yun understood that much.

But, I do have my own selfish reasons as well...

Just looking at Mei Fang made her very happy.

Especially the summer-exclusive version of Mei Fang.
