Followed

17.

The sun hangs high, and the sea breeze rolls the waves playfully. The tide has risen and fallen several times, and it is cool on the legs.

Wen Er was forced to go forward, the sea water was almost up to his knees, and he took a step forward, but he could not step on it to the bottom, so he refused to continue no matter what.

Bie Xu half-supported him behind him, and found that his palms were covered with sweat, but his back felt chills. He didn't expect him to be so scared.

"What are you afraid of? You're still wearing a swimming ring."

Wen Er also felt that he was too embarrassing, closed his eyes and made up his mind, took a big step forward, swept the water with both arms without any teacher, and successfully floated up.

So Bie Xu let go, ready to swim forward and teach him face to face.

Wen Er suddenly lost his support, jumped twice in a panic, and let out a cry.

Bie Xu hurriedly grabbed him firmly, holding the swimming ring with the other hand, moved it little by little, and floated in front of Wen Er in a half circle.

When Wen Er regained his composure, he saw Bie Xu hugging the little yellow duck's neck, resting his chin on the little yellow duck's head, smiling playfully at him.

"Why are you so afraid of water?"

"I don't know either." Wen Er shook his head in shock.

The children's version of the swimming ring is really small. Fortunately, Wen Er is on the thin side, so he squeezed it in to fill up the space.

Bexu's swimming skills are very good, dragging him in front of him unhurriedly, and can talk to him while turning his head.

Wen Er has been floating in the sea for a long time, and he is no longer as scared as before. He was trapped in the swimming circle and wanted to move his body, twisting left and right, but he couldn't stretch.

"Do you want to learn to swim by yourself?" Bie Xu threw out a temptation at the right time.

Looking at Bie Xu stretching freely in the water, Wen Er was a little moved.

"We can go there." Bie Xu pointed to the shallow water beach in the distance.

"...All right." Wen Er didn't hesitate too much, gritted his teeth and agreed.

He has always wanted to learn swimming, but he didn't find the opportunity. At this moment, Bie Xu is willing to teach him patiently. What reason is there to refuse?

Besides, when traveling, I am most afraid of four words - come and come.

A group of people gathered on the shallow water beach, mostly children, and their parents.

Bie Xu led Wen Er to swim there, attracting a lot of attention, especially the cute little yellow duck pinned to Wen Er's waist.

The two walked ashore, Wen Er was sullen, quickly untied the swimming ring, poked Bie Xu's shoulder, and said softly, "Let's put this back first."

Bie Xu smiled sullenly and agreed: "Okay."

The two put the swimming ring back in the trunk, and once again came to the beach, Wen Er began to hesitate again.

Bie Xu heard him murmuring beside him: "Don't panic...There's nothing to be afraid of...It's okay, you can..."

Wen Er was still secretly cheering himself up over and over again, when his hand was suddenly held.He hurriedly turned his head, Bie Xu held his hand tightly again.

"Do you believe me?" Bie Xu asked seriously.

"I believe." Wen Er responded without hesitation.He closed his eyes and took a deep breath after a while, "Let's go!"

Bie Xu led them to an area that was neither deep nor shallow, and the sea almost reached the lower abdomen.

"Let's start with floating. I'll show you a demonstration." He motioned Wen Er to hold his hand tightly, stretched his long legs, and floated up naturally.

Wen Er pulled him nervously, Bie Xu poked his head out of the water and said easily, "Look, it's very simple."

After demonstrating the general idea, Bie Xu stood up and motioned for Wen Er to try.

"Take a breath, relax, extend your arms and legs, and feel what it's like to be in the water."

Wen Er took a deep breath anxiously, closed his eyes tightly, and waited until most of his anger was exhausted before he dared to bury his face in the water, but his legs stubbornly held on to the ground.

"Hey—stretch your legs!" Bie Xu squatted down and yelled in his ear.

Wen Er couldn't hear what Bie Xu was yelling, and tried his best to control that breath.Unable to hold back any longer, he raised his head suddenly, a splash of water splashed, and Bie Xu's face was splashed.

"Don't be too nervous, I'm not pulling you."

Bie Xu shook his head, saw Wen Er pinching his nose uncomfortably, and wiped it on his face.

Wen Er was startled, his nose twitched, and the blocked water choked into the air duct.He immediately bent down, coughing beside him until the sky was dark.

Bie Xu hurriedly patted him on the back, giving him comfort.

Wen Er slowed down for a long time, the end of his eyes and the sides of his nose were slightly red, he blinked from time to time, and rubbed the skin around his eyes vigorously with his hands, his face looked fragile and pitiful.

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay," Wen Er wiped the corners of his eyes again, "It's just that I didn't get used to it at first."

"Don't rub it, it's all red." Bie Xu grabbed his wrist and tapped under his eyes, causing Wen Er to close his eyes reflexively, the wet eyelashes drooped down, touching Bie Xu's fingers, trembling It bounces back.

Bie Xu only felt a slight itching in his fingers, and that subtle itching went down his arm and went straight into his heart.

He withdrew his hand and asked calmly, "Continue?"

Wen Er nodded, took the initiative to hold his hand, took a deep breath, and buried himself in the water again. After a while, his feet gradually loosened.

"Cough cough—cough cough—" Unfortunately, before he floated up, Wen Er choked on a big mouthful of water, hurriedly kicked on the ground, covered his mouth and coughed continuously.

Bie Xu comforted him: "It's okay, just try a few more times."

After about half an hour of touching, Wen Er was finally able to float successfully.

Bie Xu changed his position and stood beside him, guiding him in paddling.

"Like this, kick your legs out, then slide your hands to the sides, poke your head out to take a breath, and then repeat the steps just now."

Bie Xu stroked gracefully twice, swam to Wen Er's side, and carefully dismantled his movements.

Wen Er gasped and floated on the water, trying to paddle according to the method taught by Bexu, but he was in a hurry and completely lost the point.

Bie Xu watched him struggle in the water, huffing and thumping for a long time, but still not moving.

Wen Er drank seawater from time to time, his mouth was bitterly salty, his mouth was dry, and his throat burned all the way.He exhausted most of his strength, and his eyes were so sore that he couldn't open them. He tried to pour the water out of his ears on his side, and swayed from side to side, but his head was still swollen.

"Are you still swimming?"

"Swim!" Wen Er was very firm, sniffing, and replied in a low voice.

Again, still not much better.

Seeing his movement, Bie Xu suddenly bent down and grabbed Wen Er's ankle, pulling him to paddle a few times.

Wen Er was so startled that even when he kicked his legs, Bie Xu held him firmly and suppressed him.

"You feel it."

When Wen Er heard Bie Xu's voice lowered, he thought he was angry, and obediently surrendered control of his body, feeling embarrassed for his overreaction.

He couldn't see Bie Xu standing beside him, he was already in a preoccupation with his imagination.

This kind of teaching was very effective. After touching his ankles, Bie Xu held hands, and finally supported Wen Er's waist. Watching him wave his hands and kick his legs, he looked pretty decent.

Except for the still hasty breathing, Wen Er can already be counted as a good swimmer.

The two of them tossed in the water for several hours, and when they got ashore, their skin was wrinkled from the soak, and Wen Er had already lost his strength and his whole body was weak.

Bie Xu bought him a cup of coconut juice, and Wen Er held it in his arms and drank it. He frowned for a long time and said, "It's not sweet."

"is it?"

"Really, it's not as good as the one I bought in the square last time."

Hearing that he remembered the details clearly, Bie Xu smiled happily.

Wen Er took another sip, and passed the coconut juice to Bi Xu's mouth, "If you don't believe me, try it."

This time, it is different from the cup in the square, with only one straw.

Wen Er didn't know if he didn't realize this problem, or didn't care at all, like a bullied child complaining to his parents, he ran right in front of him, asking for an explanation, and blinked, looking at him expectantly, hoping Parents are in the same camp as themselves.

Bie Xu took a sip from his hand, but he didn't taste the taste, but it was quite sweet in his heart.

He said casually: "This is not in the tropics, maybe the coconuts are not authentic."

Wen Er reluctantly accepted this explanation, his throat was so dry that it was about to smoke, and he drank it in two or three gulps, regardless of whether it was sweet or not.

The hotel is nearby, and Biesu is rich and powerful, so he directly booked a sea view suite. Wen Er put down his luggage and rushed to the window to enjoy the view.

"Today is too tired, go to bed early, there will be a bonfire party tomorrow night."

Stars appeared in Wen Er's eyes again, and he was very much looking forward to the arrival of the next day.

Bie Xu studied the menu at the table for a while, dialed the internal number, and ordered two dinners.

After a while, a waiter pushed the dining car and rang the doorbell.Wen Er hurried over to open the door and welcome people in.

This suite comes with a small terrace, a wrought-iron dining table with rattan seats, and an exquisite candle holder, which perfectly meets the needs of candlelight dinners.

The waiter lit the candles, laid out the napkins, lifted the cover of the silver plate, bowed gracefully, and motioned for the two to eat.

The sun is fading, the moon has not yet come out, and the faint starlight can already be seen in the sky.

Bie Xu didn't ask for wine, but touched Wen Er's coconut milk with the soup, which was extraordinarily smoky and romantic.

The two ate the food in a leisurely manner. Bie Xu didn't like to tear apart the crabs, so he put all the crab legs aside.

Wen Er's eyes moved, and he asked, "Don't you eat crabs?"

"It's troublesome."

Wen Ermo was silent, and handed him the crab legs he had disassembled: "I haven't moved yet, so you can eat my portion if you don't mind."

Bie Xu was slightly taken aback.

In his opinion, exchanging food is considered ambiguous, but if one ignores sexuality and considers it purely from the perspective of friends, it is nothing special.

Bie Xu pondered, this is not going to work.He treated the two of them as an old married couple, but in Wen Er's view, it was just friends caring for each other.

Wen Er was still waiting for his reply, Bie Xu quickly took it, and Wen Er very naturally picked up his unmoving crab legs and put them on his plate.

Bie Xu looked at Wen Er's rustling and busy work, her heart felt as if it had been ironed, it was warm and appropriate.

Suddenly, Wen Er seemed to have been stabbed in the hand. He hissed softly, put the injured part in his mouth and squeezed it, and held the crab leg with the other hand, looking over and over again.

It didn't take long before he finally finished all the fiddling, and his eyes quickly swept across, with a little complacency hidden in his eyes.

The surrounding area became much brighter, the sea was covered by the bright white moonlight, the tide undulated quietly, advancing and retreating, with occasional flashes of silver thread, which were buried in the gentle waves.

There are still people chasing and fighting on the coast, the noise is far away, and it is hard to hear it here.

The evening wind has a salty and damp taste, mixed with the lurking anxiety of the summer season, and they collide with each other, and then gradually return to tranquility.

The two sat like this, looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly smiled at each other, which was worth a thousand words.

Don't think about it, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight.
