Chapter 496: Chapter 496: The Furious Dabai 1
Water splashed all around, and within the crystal-clear swimming pool, four figures raced forward like arrows swiftly loosed from their bows.
Several girls stood up excitedly, chattering about who would win.
At the forefront was none other than Ji Yebai.
"Master Ji is so amazing!"
"It feels like first place is his for certain!"
Hearing these comments, Shi Manyu’s eyes darkened with a touch of gloom.
No, she had to make Yichen win!
"Ning Xixi, what do you think is more important to Ji Yebai— you, or victory?"
"Eh?" Ning Xixi looked at Shi Manyu, confused. "What do you mean?"
"It’s nothing... I just want to see if Ji Yebai would come to save you~"
She suddenly pushed Ning Xixi hard, and the unexpected force caught Ning Xixi off guard, sending her plunging into the pool!
"Dammit! Are you crazy?!" Cheng Youran cursed out loud, ready to jump in to help Ning Xixi out of the water, but Jian Yixue held her back tightly!
"Xiaoxue! Are you going to side with this woman?"
Jian Yixue shook her head anxiously, pointing at the sign beside them, "This is the deep end, didn’t you say you can’t swim?"
Cheng Youran: ...!!
Jian Yixue couldn’t swim either, something they had talked about and teased each other over in the changing room.
Clearly, Shi Manyu had overheard all of that.
Cheng Youran’s eyes blazed with anger, "You did it on purpose, didn’t you?!"
Shi Manyu, with tearful eyes full of pain, sobbed, "Ugh... Let go of me..."
Ning Xixi in the water was indeed a swimmer, but as soon as she went in, she felt her calf muscles spasming, and a terrible thought surfaced in her mind: she was cramping!
Cramps are a swimmer’s worst fear, especially in the deep end. When she touched the bottom of the pool, the water was still over her head...
She held back her breath with great effort, floundering with her limbs, struggling helplessly...
"Master Ji! Xixi has fallen into the water!" Cheng Youran yelled loudly while Jian Yixue looked around, "Where’s the lifeguard?"
Shi Manyu wore an innocent face; she wouldn’t admit that she’d sent the lifeguard to buy her a drink just moments ago, who wouldn’t be back for ten minutes.
With her boyfriend around, that woman couldn’t possibly drown; at worst, she’d just suffer a bit!
But like this, she could help Yichen win this competition!
Shi Manyu had made her calculations perfectly.
Ji Yebai, who was in the midst of the competition, heard the shout from behind him, turned around, and swam back even faster than before!
Seeing this, Shi Manyu smiled, it looked like Yichen was going to win...
However, what she didn’t expect happened—
Qiao Nancheng, Yan Yichen, and Xiao Xichen all abandoned the competition and swam back together!
Ji Yebai was the first to reach Ning Xixi, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her above the water surface, while the others quickly helped and got Ning Xixi to safety on the shore!
"Erxi, are you okay?" Ji Yebai softly called Ning Xixi’s name, gently patting her back.
Ning Xixi coughed out a few mouthfuls of water, her face crumpled in pain. Not wanting to worry him, she bore the discomfort and waved her hand to indicate she was alright.
"What’s going on here? How could she fall into the water like that, and into such a hazardous deep end?" Yan Yichen scanned the area, exuding the authority of the President.
"She fell in by herself!" Shi Manyu declared confidently, infuriating Cheng Youran who grabbed her hair, "Come on, show me how you ’fall’! I think your brain is too flooded to not jump into the deep end yourself!"
