38. Let's have a try

  The sound of water echoed, Li Yifan emerged from the water and climbed ashore. The sunlight of a summer afternoon shone on his body through the frosted glass of the top floor of the swimming pool.

  Slightly immature, slender figure, but the muscle lines can already be seen, the muscle groups are not as thick as those muscular men on TV, but they are also angular and distinct, initially formed, from a distance, it is possible to experience a three-dimensional sculptural beauty.

  Yue Ling was quite skilled in the arts, music and painting, she was good at everything. At this time, she saw Li Yi Fan who had just come out of the water, his soft semi-long hair stuck to his forehead, a star face already taking shape, his slender physique, angular muscles distinct. If the phrase "out of the water lotus" could be used to describe a man, she thought of using it on him. At the same time, Yue Ling felt a slight flush and had an urge to ask him to be her painting model.

  Wang Huan, who was already sitting on the shore, looked at Li Yifan's eyes at this time, and his eyes were full of appreciation. Indeed, this guy did not disappoint his expectations. Just now, he seemed to have made no effort in the second half, but even so, he only took about a minute to swim 100 meters. If he had used all his strength, he would definitely be able to swim within a minute. Now looking at this guy's physique, he really has great potential in sports.

  Yue Ling and Wang Huan looked at Li Yi Fan with that kind of gaze, while Gao Jun Zhe on the side was watching intently, his heart burning with anxiety. Originally, he had invited Yue Ling to play, wanting to show off his swimming skills in front of her, but now even Dong Qi Chang, the best swimmer among their group, had been surpassed by Li Yi Fan. How could he still have the face to go down to the pool and swim? Wouldn't that just be going to humiliate himself?

  On the other hand, Dong Qichang also felt very uncomfortable. Yizhong is a school that attaches great importance to the comprehensive development of moral character, intelligence, physical education, and labor skills. The physical education classes in other schools are generally perfunctory, but Yizhong is different.

  Next year, after everyone enters the second semester of high school, swimming lessons will be held at Yizhong. Dong Qichang thought that with his excellent swimming skills, he would definitely attract attention and stand out from the crowd. However, with the appearance of Li Yifan, he suddenly felt a sense of being overshadowed.

  Thinking of the other's cunning, and the overbearing manner of that one ride to dust, Dong Qichang felt very frustrated. When he was about to launch a counterattack at half-time, he found that the opponent had already turned back. He had been desperately chasing after him, even using 120% of his strength, but in the end, he still lost. This kind of helplessness, this kind of powerlessness, really felt unbearable.

  Xuexi is now the dark horse in our class, and even in sports, my strongest swimming was stepped on by him. Even the girl I've had a crush on for a long time seems to have a good impression of this guy, what's going on? Why?

  Dong Qichang and his gang, who were just proudly arrogant, have now been completely extinguished by Li Yifan's brilliant performance. They, who had just lost money, are now a bit disheartened.

  In fact, the tens or hundreds of yuan are nothing to them. What they're not used to is the feeling of losing money, especially to someone from an ordinary and humble family background.

  If it were in peacetime, they might have taken various means to shirk their debts, and even beat him up recklessly, but with Wang Huan's strong appearance just now, and Dong Qichang and Gao Junzhe's attitude towards Wang Huan, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

  A group of people obediently handed over the lost money to Wang Huan's hands, and when handing over the money, Gao Junzhe still wanted to show off his gentlemanly demeanor as much as possible.

  "Here, this is the money we lost from our bet. By the way, Wang Huan, are you free later? I heard that the buffet on the third floor of the Kaylesky Hotel is not bad, why don't we go together and have a meal, my treat."

  At this time, Wang Huan was smiling and counting the money handed over by Gao Junzhe, as if he was a money-loving person, but he seemed to have not heard what he said.

  Gao Junzhe saw Wang Huan ignoring him and knew he couldn't invite him, so with a slightly awkward expression, he turned around, shrugged at Dong Qichang, and then decided to leave.

  Today they were ruined by Li Yifan and had no interest in swimming anymore. They decided to go straight to the third floor for a buffet.

  "Is it just going to end like this?"

  Unexpectedly, just as Gao Junzhe turned around, Wang Huan suddenly spoke up.

  "What? Is there anything else?"

  Gao Junzhe thought Wang Huan had changed his mind, planning to go with them to eat buffet, but unexpectedly, Wang Huan's next sentence made his face turn extremely ugly.

  "You guys, are you going to keep your promise to Li Yifan's bet? Don't tell me you can't afford to lose?"

  Dong Qichang handed over 100 yuan to Li Yifan with a sullen expression, and then left without looking back with Gao Junzhe's group. Coming to Kailaixi today and running into Li Yifan was really unlucky.

  "Li Yifan, are you interested in playing a game of gamble?"

  Wang Huan smiled and looked at Li Yifan, who waved a handful of red and green banknotes in his hand. At this time, Chen Peng was already a bit stunned. Yifan, you little devil, really have good luck! It's worth noting that Wang Huan is usually easy-going, but it seems she never showed any special favor to the boys in class before.

  "How to gamble?"

  Wang Huan's face is very distinctive, but when she smiles, it's especially beautiful. Against her wheat-colored skin, those few snow-white teeth look particularly pretty.

  "Let's have a competition, if you win, all this money will be yours."

  Wang Huan waved the wad of cash he had just won in his hand.

  "Hehe, what if I lose?"

  Li Yihuan smiled slightly, with a physique like ancient Greek sculpture and that angular face, which added a lot of points to Li Yihuan. Wang Huan couldn't help but admire the calmness and composure of the smiling youth in front of him.

  Even someone like Gao Junzhe and Dong Qichang, who are notorious bullies on campus, would feel a bit uneasy when they see themselves. But this guy in front of me is so calm and composed, I don't know if he's born with a thick nerve or has a short circuit in his brain. But it's exactly this that makes him particularly interesting.

  Isn't this natural and equal attitude exactly what you hope those boys can achieve? If it were those who, as soon as they see themselves, would think of their own background and become timid and cautious, then I wouldn't be interested in them anyway.

  "If you lose... hmm... I heard that the buffet on the third floor is quite good."

  "Haha, it seems like all the conditions are especially favorable for me, I couldn't think of any reason to refuse you."

  Li Yifan thought for a moment and understood Wang Huan's kindness.

  If it weren't for people who didn't understand Wang Huan, they would probably think that she had set such conditions because she had a crush on Li Yifan. However, as someone who had been through similar experiences, Li Yifan knew that this girl was just a sports enthusiast and only wanted to have a simple competition with him in the swimming pool.

  "Let's start!"

  As Chen Peng gave the command, two people simultaneously jumped off from the starting platform and plunged into the swimming pool. As soon as they entered the water, Li Yifan found that Wang Huan had already rushed to her front. Her swimming posture was very beautiful, with her body rapidly moving up and down, just like a beautiful seal.

  This time, Li Yifan swam very hard, he was at a disadvantage in the first half, and desperately chased after, until the second half of the sprint, he relied on the natural physical advantage of boys to catch up, and pulled Wang Huan behind him, reaching the finish line first.

  At first, he still had some thoughts of letting up, but later on, he involuntarily stirred up the desire to win, and only then did he start to go all out. However, Wang Huan's swimming skills still gave him a big shock.

  "You swim really fast."

  Wang Huan came over from the water and spoke very sincerely to him.

  "You're not bad at swimming either. To be honest, if I didn't have the advantage of a naturally good physique, I think it would've been really difficult for me to win against you."

  Li Yihua spoke the truth, but it made Wang Huan look at him with even more surprise. This boy didn't become complacent and arrogant like other boys after defeating him in the swimming pool. He was calm and sincere, a rare quality for someone of his age.
