It's a human being!

When Zhou Zhou said this, he was actually prepared for the other party not to believe it.

After all, these things are all his own words, and Jin Ci can't see what he can see, so it's normal to be a little suspicious.But whether the other party believes it or not is one thing, and whether he says it or not is another. Zhou Zhou still has to live with his conscience.

Unexpectedly, Jin Ci looked at him for a while, and then nodded: "I believe you."

Jin Ci rubbed his soft black hair, his long eyes drooped, with a hint of tenderness: "So what should I do?"

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the other party to trust him so much, and to listen to his opinion, which instantly made his little heart thump, thump, and couldn't stop being happy.

After realizing the true appearance of the world, you may have a different feeling when you face the people you were familiar with before.after all now

"This... If you are worried, why don't I go with you?" Zhou Zhou blurted out, looking at him with bright eyes, "Can I go?"

Jin Ci didn't speak, but rubbed his head again.

Zhou Zhou felt like being treated like a dumpling.

Although Jin Ci's expression remained unchanged, he could subtly feel that the other party was in a good mood from the other's actions.

"It's okay, it's just a banquet, I can go alone. If something really happens, you can come and help me." Jin Ci finally withdrew his hand, "I've already fed the dumplings, let's go first."

"Ah, yes." Zhou Zhou watched the door close in front of him, his ears felt a little hot.

Think about it calmly, in fact, what you said just now is a bit funny.

People like Jin Ci shouldn't need him to accompany him, right?I was really worried too much.

Zhou Zhou touched the tips of his ears and smiled.

Although he rationally knew that Jin Ci might not ask him for help, Zhou Zhou still checked his phone from time to time during the day to see if there was any new news, for fear that he might not see the distress message sent by Jin Ci in time.

"Zhou Zhou, have you changed it yet? The physical education teacher is urging you!" Xiaoyuan, a classmate, shouted.

"Oh ok ok, I'll be here soon!" Zhou Zhou took a last look at his phone and put it in his locker.

From this physical education class, it is time to go into the water and learn to swim.

The physical education teacher is a young man with a fit body, and he speaks full of arrogance. Every time he is exercising intensely in class, a pair of khaki dog ears pop out of his head, and a yellow and white dog tail flicks behind his buttocks. Reminds me of the dog in Tom and Jerry.

"Okay, let me ask first, how many people in this class can swim?"

In the queue, hands were raised clattering.

"Eh... I can't see clearly, how about this, raise your hand if you can't swim."

Zhou Zhou raised his hand and suddenly felt that the surroundings were too quiet.He looked around, in the huge queue, he was the only one raising his hand alone, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Zhou Zhou: ...

He just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Cough cough cough, um, okay, I get it. This classmate who can't swim is called Zhou Zhou, right? Don't worry, I have taught so many students. Every year, there are always one or two who can't swim, and they all succeed in the end. He passed the exam." The physical education teacher tried to comfort him, and Zhou Zhou's face burned even more.

Every year, just one or two?

Zhou Zhou originally thought that not being able to swim was not a big deal, but when he was the only one who couldn't swim, the sense of embarrassment that overwhelmed him was a bit suffocating.

Why can everyone swim?

Zhou Zhou was a little depressed.

After the warm-up exercise, the physical education teacher demonstrated a few moves: "Now let's learn breaststroke first, come on, watch me watch me!"

Xiaoyuan stood by the pool, wagging her dog's tail impatiently: "I know, I know, I will! Teacher, watch me swim!"

With a plop, Xiaoyuan jumped headlong into the pool, jumping cheerfully from one end of the pool to the other. That posture, coupled with ears and tail, really has nothing to do with frogs.

"Wait, stop! Are you breaststroke, huh? You are dog planing! Come back!" the physical education teacher shouted.

Xiaoyuan came back aggrieved, and compared movements with the physical education teacher.

"Teacher, this breaststroke is so difficult to learn. You can swim anyway. Isn't it good for a dog paddle? Do you look down on a dog paddle... Aww!"

The physical education teacher slapped his head hard.

"This is an exam, do you want to get credits?"

Madoka is good.

The physical education teacher turned his head to look at Zhou Zhou, touched his scalp, and softened his tone: "Zhou Zhou, you should practice holding your breath first. I will teach these bastards first, and then I will teach you alone."

Zhou Zhou nodded: "Okay."

He walked to the other side by himself, sat by the pool for a while, watched the lively scene of a group of people jumping around, and compared himself to being alone, and sighed.

He is the only one who can't swim. He has to learn to swim quickly so that he can play with everyone.

Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes, got up and went into the water, took a deep breath, and buried himself in the water with his eyes closed, following the image he remembered from his physical education teacher.

The constant-temperature pool water instantly overflowed the top of the head, and all the surrounding sounds were cut off, as if in another world.This feeling has been felt before, but the water was so cold that people were caught off guard when it came up.

The feeling at this moment seemed to overlap with that at that time, as if he had returned to the scene of the camping day, when he suddenly fell into the lake, fear and helplessness almost invaded all his rationality.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and there was nothing in front of him, a vast azure blue, without that familiar figure, without the hands that were holding him firmly, and without that large golden fish scale that was so beautiful that it made one lose one's mind.

Nothing at all.

There was a splash of water.

"Zhou Zhou? Classmate Zhou Zhou, are you okay?" The physical education teacher hurried over, knelt down and looked at him with concern.

Zhou Zhou's complexion was a little pale, his wet hair was softly pasted behind his ears, and the water dripped down his delicate jaw into the pool water.He took a few breaths violently, wiped his eyes, shook his head and said, "I...I'm fine, Teacher Gou."

As soon as he spoke, his voice was extremely soft, with a subtle tremor.

Teacher Gou said softly: "Don't be too nervous. You have no swimming experience before. You may not be used to it at first. Take your time. You don't have to hold your breath for so long. The next test is in a month, and there is more time."

Zhou Zhou calmed down, gripped the side of the pool tightly with his fingers, and nodded: "Got it."

At the end of the physical education class, everyone happily flocked to the locker room.

"Zhou Zhou, how are you doing?" Xiaoyuan ran over shaking her head.

Zhou Zhou said embarrassedly, "I just started to practice holding my breath."

"How long can you stay shut?"

"Two...about 40 seconds." Zhou Zhou blinked guiltyly.In fact, he lied. In this class, he could hold his breath for 20 seconds at most and couldn't help but come out, but if he really said it was only 20 seconds, it was too embarrassing to say it.

"40 seconds, it's not bad!" Xiaoyuan patted him on the shoulder carelessly, and suddenly approached, "Would you like me to teach you how to swim, I can swim very well!"

"Hahahaha Xiaoyuan, don't misunderstand your son. The teacher said to take the breaststroke test, but your dog didn't get back after correcting for a whole class, so don't hurt anyone!"

"Go, go, what's wrong with the dog planer? The dog planer can swim as well, and I can plan very fast..."

Xiaoyuan ran after that classmate all the way, Zhou Zhou smiled and opened the locker.He first looked at his phone, and Jin Ci's WeChat was quiet, and no new messages came.

Zhou Zhou stared at the screen for a while, lowered his eyes, put down his phone and began to change clothes.

When I returned to the apartment at night, the living room was deserted and dark.Zhou Zhou stood at the door for a long time before he remembered that Jin Ci seemed to have said that he was going to a banquet today, so he probably would come back later.

He fed the dumpling and went to the bathroom with his clothes in his arms.

There is a bathtub in the bathroom, which is usually not used on weekdays.He stood in front of the bathtub and thought for a while, then turned on the switch and filled the bathtub with water.

The heat was steaming, and the vision became hazy, and everything in front of him blurred the boundaries.

Lying in the bathtub, Zhou Zhou relaxed his body and gradually emptied his mind.He couldn't help but think of the scene in swimming class.

I still have to overcome it, there is still one month before the exam, so I have to learn how to swim quickly.

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath and sank into the bathtub.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... ten seconds, 11 seconds...

Zhou Zhou tried his best to hold his breath, counting silently in his heart, and heard voices coming from outside in a trance.The sound was so vague that one was not sure if it had really sounded.

There was a splash, water splashed everywhere, Zhou Zhou couldn't hold it anymore, he got up from the bathtub, limply lying on the edge of the bathtub, panting.

In the quiet bathroom, only the sound of slow running water and slight panting can be heard.

Zhou Zhou inexplicably felt that the bases of his ears were hot. He wiped the water from his eyelashes, subconsciously raised his eyes, and couldn't help being stunned.

The bathroom door opened at some point, and Jin Ci stood there with his head slightly tilted, his long and deep eyes looking over through the mist, which made his heart skip a beat.

He walked over slowly, falling into his ears step by step, Zhou Zhou suddenly became a little nervous for some reason, and instinctively sank into the bathtub.

"Day Day." Jin Ci leaned down and called him in a low voice, Zhou Zhou's shadow was reflected in his obsidian eyes.Zhou Zhou smelled a faint aroma of wine on the other party's body, lingering and intoxicating, even the air was burning with heat.

"You are here." Jin Ci looked at him.

Zhou Zhou had an inexplicable feeling of being caught, and pursed his lips, a little unsure if the other party was drunk.

Jin Ci's slender fingers plucked the wet ends of Xia Zhouri's hair, and then slid down the side face to the white chin.He looked at Zhou Zhou carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled: "What were you doing just now?"

Zhou Zhou only felt that the place touched by the other party was scorching hot. He was naked while the other party was fully dressed, facing each other in the steamy bathroom. This scene was weird no matter how you looked.His mind was in a mess, he couldn't help but look away, and replied obediently: "I'm... I'm practicing holding my breath."

"Practice holding your breath?"

"Yes." Zhou Zhou took a deep breath, tried his best to let himself ignore the heat in his ears, and tried to speak in a normal tone, "Because the physical education class will take a swimming test, and I can't, so now I have to practice from holding my breath."

Jin Ci smiled lightly, and the heat blew past his ears a little itchy.

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but look up, the light above his head reflected fine gold in Jin Ci's eyes, like the dazzling brilliance in the deep sea, it was shockingly beautiful.

He heard Jin Ci whisper: "Can't swim, I'll teach you."
