Sheng Tang immediately climbed up.
After getting ashore, she stomped her foot hard.
Gu Shiting followed and climbed up as well: "What’s wrong, did your foot cramp?"
"I don’t know what happened, both my thigh and calf cramped." Sheng Tang was in great pain, "Never happened before..."
Song Chen hurried over.
He wanted to help Sheng Tang massage, but Gu Shiting glared at him.
Song Chen silently took two steps back, feeling a bit amused, thinking that the young master seemed quite spirited now.
"Sit down!" Gu Shiting hugged her, picked her up forcefully, and placed her on the nearby lounge chair.
Sheng Tang: "...."
In the moment she was lifted, her heart was startled, thinking this guy was really strong to be able to lift her so casually.
All those muscles were not in vain.
Gu Shiting put her down and strongly massaged her muscles. His hands were strong, and Sheng Tang’s leg soon recovered.
She exhaled in relief.
"It really hurt." she said.
Gu Shiting also let out a sigh of relief, sitting on the ground next to her, massaging her calf: "I didn’t know you had cramps, otherwise I wouldn’t have invited you to swim."
"It’s okay, I like swimming." Sheng Tang reached out, ruffling his wet hair.
The slightly cool strands slipped through her fingers, and Gu Shiting’s body suddenly stiffened.
He raised his eyes: "Shall we go back and rest?"
"No, I still want to swim fifty more laps." Sheng Tang said, "I haven’t exercised enough today."
Gu Shiting could only accompany her to swim.
Sheng Tang didn’t cramp again and swam smoothly.
Nearing the end, Gu Shiting suddenly came over to her lane.
She bumped into him, flailing her arms as she grabbed onto his chest.
Gu Shiting held her tightly.
"... What’s this?" Sheng Tang couldn’t help but smile, hugging his neck, trying to stand firm, but the buoyancy of the water made her float, "Why did you come over again?"
Gu Shiting’s Adam’s apple moved involuntarily.
He cleared his throat: "You’ve been swimming for an hour and a half, you can get out now."
Sheng Tang didn’t realize she had been swimming for so long.
She still couldn’t stand straight for a while, as the water nearly reached her neck, the buoyancy lifting her up.
She told Gu Shiting: "Okay, let’s get out. Walk towards the shallow end."
Gu Shiting then reached out, hugging her back, leading her to the side.
Sheng Tang’s swimsuit had an open back, and Gu Shiting’s hand touched her smooth skin.
He had just held her and massaged her leg, yet hadn’t noticed her skin until now....
The feel of her skin was new to him. He couldn’t help but move his hand slowly, rubbing her back twice.
Sheng Tang giggled and patted his shoulder: "What are you touching?"
Gu Shiting: "..."
Caught in the act, he felt awkward. He looked at Sheng Tang innocently: "Your back is so smooth."
"In the water, your back is smooth too." Sheng Tang said, "Alright, stop taking advantage of me."
Gu Shiting: "..."
The young master went from "shameless" to truly shameless.
He hurriedly withdrew his hand.
When Sheng Tang got ashore, she realized her limbs were a bit sore, climbing up slowly.
Gu Shiting wanted to push her from behind but remembered her words and hesitated.
The exercise today was quite a lot for Sheng Tang. After a shower and blow-drying her hair, she fell deeply asleep in the guest room of the Gu Family.
Gu Shiting also felt tired and naturally fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, a strange scene suddenly appeared. He dreamt of Sheng Tang standing in the kitchen, and he came up behind her, hugged her tightly, forcefully turned her face, and kissed her hard on the lips.
