The swimming pool opened by the squad leader's house is really big. Two-thirds of the space is shallow, crowded with people, and there is a delicate climbing slide that is a treat for both shuttling through and sliding from the top into the water. Another third of the space is deep water, which is significantly less crowded, and people there are basically swimming, and no one will stay in the middle of the water to rest.

Students who can swim turn into free fish when they jump into the water, actively showing their superb skills, such as Song Hongyi and me; Students who are not very good at swimming should take a bath by the pool in the shallow area, and when they are bored, they will sit under the parasol on the shore and drink drinks and chat, such as A Ghost and others.

I'm not good at regular swimming, I've always been proud of my diving stunts.

"You see me imitating a crocodile." I said to Song Hongyi.

Then I took a deep breath and dived into the water, emptying all the air in my stomach and crawling slowly like a crocodile on all fours against the bottom of the pool.

After about half a minute, I surfaced and said, "How's that, it's amazing!" ”

"Yes, I'll try it too." Song Hongyi also took a deep breath as he spoke, and jumped into the water.

But after a while his back floated up, and he paddled his arm to try to sink himself again, but the more he moved, the more he floated.

Eventually, he gave up, stood up and asked me, "How did you manage to sink so firmly under the water?" ”

"Just spit out all the qi in your stomach, and I'll meditate underwater for you again."

With that, I took another deep breath, then sat down with my nose pinched and sat in the water, and when my head was buried in the water, I quickly exhaled the breath in my stomach. Bubbles continued to erupt from my mouth and rush to the surface of the water like a pillar of light.

With all the qi in my stomach being released, I was almost at the bottom of the water. I meditated cross-legged with my eyes closed, palms up on my knees, and the whole thing was still, like a Buddha statue.

I slowly opened my eyes and stared indifferently at everything floating in the water. The sunlight shining through the water and flowing with the waves in front of my eyes seemed to be covered with the light of the Buddha, such a beautiful view is truly unusual.

Song Hongyi also curiously stuck his head into the water to observe me, and then extended his thumb to me. There are many other students as well.

A minute later, I slammed my hands on the bottom of the pool and sprang out of the water.

"That's amazing! It's really like Guanyin sitting in the water. Song Hongyi applauded.

He and several other classmates then tried to sit in the water and exhaled some air, but they were never able to sit firmly in the water. Someone floated straight up, with the top of their head directly on the water; Someone lost his center of gravity in the water, rolled and rolled over, and was about to put his head on his feet.

Song Hongyi was relatively stable, but after all, he vomited all his anger, and he quickly surfaced after not holding out for long, saying: "It's too difficult, how can you stay underwater for so long after you vomit all your anger?" ”

"Haha, this is my unique skill!" I proudly say, "I can still sleep quietly under the water." ”

"You cow! Eh, I suddenly thought of a question," Song Hongyi's eyes lit up, "If you lie on the bottom of the water, won't you be able to see others swimming above you, and if a bikini beauty swims over, won't you all see it!" ”

"Well, why didn't I think about that before, what a great idea!" I smirked.

"It's so obscene for you, hehe!"

"Obviously you thought of it first. However, my myopia is so severe that I can't see others clearly when I sink underwater. ”

"You can get a pair of goggles with a prescription when you go back, haha!"

"Forget it, I'm not such a lewd person as you."

"Haha." Song Hongyi laughed and glanced at the entire pool, and then yelled at his classmates on the shore, "Hey! You guys, come down and have fun! ”

The ghost on the shore is sitting under a parasol with Jiro's legs crossed, drinking the can of Coke in his hand with a straw. He waved his hand at us and yelled, "No, I won't, I'll just watch you play." ”

"You can't learn, you come down, we'll teach you!" Song Hongyi continued to roar.

"Hahaha-" The ghost just smiled, still sitting lazily in his chair, like a stone and not thinking about moving at all.

"Passionless guy!" Song Hongyi muttered, and then glanced at the water again.

"Eh, Mao Xiaoer, I saw Lin Ximeng over there, do you want to go over and communicate." Song Hongyi glanced at me.

Following Song Hongyi's direction, I looked to the other side of the pool. Under moderate myopia, everything in front of me seemed to be covered with water, but I could barely make out Lin Ximeng, who was instructing several girls to learn how to swim.

The figure surrounded by the sparkling waves is like a fairy in the lake, and the enthusiastic look of helping her classmates is very similar to when she once accompanied her best friend for a long run on the playground.

I felt like I was back in that afternoon, when I was showing off my skills and I was showing off my swimming skills. But it always seems that I was performing alone, and she didn't pay attention to it during the game, and now that I have shown half a day of diving, how can she know that she is so far away.

But I still didn't dare to go to her side.

"She's busy teaching others how to swim, so I'm not going to bother her." I'm embarrassed to say.

"What's the matter, just go and have a conversation."

"It's not right, I'm wearing a top, and she's just wearing a one-piece swimsuit. Men and women don't kiss, how embarrassing this appearance is. ”

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you can see her graceful figure and fair skin up close! You can also pretend that you don't know how to swim and let her teach you to touch it, hehe! The more Song Hongyi spoke, the more evil he laughed.

"Die, I haven't gotten acquainted with her yet, so whoever comes up will do something to others." I said to Song Hongyi a little angrily, "Besides, Xiaomei is next to Lin Ximeng, why don't you talk to Xiaomei and teach her to swim." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if Xiaomei learns from Lin Ximeng, there will be nothing to do with you! ”

Song Hongyi was speechless for a moment, presumably everyone's mental condition is the same. No one is embarrassed to take the initiative to approach the girl they like, especially in such a scene where everyone is very honest. Now that I think about it, we were so young at that time!

So throughout the afternoon, I didn't have close communication with Lin Ximeng, or from a broader perspective, the boys and girls occupied a corner of the pool all afternoon, entertaining themselves, and neither of them was embarrassed to find each other.

In fact, I really want to get close to Lin Ximeng in my heart, how I hope she can see my sassy and heroic appearance. All along, I was just a nerd with good grades in the eyes of my classmates who were not familiar with me, and Lin Ximeng was one of them. How I wish I had an opportunity to let Lin Ximeng know that I am even more of a strong athlete. I want her to know when I play football, I want her to know when I fight, and I want her to know when I swim now.

If she knew, she would have been impressed by me, and she would have been impressed by my other charm.

Time flies, and the afterglow of the setting sun soon spills onto the water, and everyone climbs ashore with unfinished thinking.

When I first came ashore, I felt so exhausted that I barely stood on my feet. However, when the breeze blows, it is extremely refreshing, as if the whole soul has been washed.

Lin Ximeng in the pool is also preparing to go ashore, and after everyone has taken care of it in the dressing room, I'm afraid they will go back to their respective homes directly. But I haven't given away my carefully prepared conch bracelet yet, so I can't miss the opportunity to give it to her before she leaves!

I finished cleaning up the locker room at a fast pace, got dressed and carried my bag, and arrived in the lobby of the swimming pool early, and sat aside after settling the bill and waiting for everyone. Apparently I'm the fastest, and everyone hasn't come out yet.

While waiting, I stared at my small backpack, thinking about what I should say and how to give her the bracelet if Lin Ximeng appeared later.

After about five minutes, I couldn't help but open my backpack and reach out to the conch bracelet lying inside, making sure it was lying quietly inside, and then I was relieved to close the zipper of the backpack. That's the bracelet I carefully selected for her, all the preparation is for this moment, I can't make any excuse for myself to back down, this is the last chance, soon Lin Ximeng is about to come out, I seem to have a premonition that she is going to come out!

I opened my backpack one last time, took out the bracelet, and held it tightly in the palm of my hand.

Not long after, Lin Xi Mengguo really appeared in sight, and I instantly felt my heart beat faster.

There are several classmates who came out together, what if I embarrass her when I give her the bracelet? What if she seriously refuses? A dark cloud hung over me. I suddenly felt like putting the bracelet back in my bag. But thinking about it and being unwilling, maybe just grit your teeth and pass.

Lin Ximeng didn't rush to leave, but found a stool in the hall and sat down, probably wanting to wait for the other classmates to come out before walking together.

At that moment, I decided to walk over bravely, handed the bracelet to her, and said, "Lin Ximeng, this is a gift for you, please accept it!" ”

In the face of my sudden move, Lin Ximeng's round face instantly turned red, it was a red I had never seen before, and the sky was accompanied by the sunset at this time.

"No, thank you!" She smiled sheepishly.

"Just take it!" In the midst of the nervousness, I didn't know how to express it, but I just giggled and persisted.

"Not really!" Lin Ximeng lowered his head and looked at the bracelet and smiled awkwardly.

"Take it!" I continued to hold on, with a slight stiffness in my words.

Suddenly, an old woman sitting next to us couldn't stand it anymore, inserted herself in front of us, and said to Lin Ximeng, "Little girl, you can take it." ”

I don't know this old woman, I don't know why she suddenly got involved, but I saw her looking at the strange girl in front of her, the corners of her mouth were already blooming, and her kind smile was full of happy expectations.

"Good...... ......" Lin Ximeng thought about it for a moment, and finally slowly took the conch bracelet, raised his head to look at me and said, "Thank you!" ”

I never expected that this strange grandmother would assist me, and I didn't expect Lin Ximeng to really agree, although she accepted it a little reluctantly, but I could see the smile on her face, I still really like this exquisite bracelet.

Finally, I gave the gift as I wished, and my hanging heart finally landed smoothly.

Eventually, everyone held their respective cars, said goodbye to each other, and then parted ways. Some people may meet again in high school, while others may not see each other again.

I looked at Lin Ximeng's back on the bright yellow bicycle, hoping to see her again in high school. If not, I at least hope she understands me. As for whether she likes herself, I really don't know, I just hope it will be true. Even if it's not true, I was able to take this step bravely, and I have no regrets.
