80 The Problem of Education 4 (1/2)

As mentioned earlier, the pool was split into two sections, one part shallow and the other of normal depth. For the purpose of the class, the shallow part of the pool was for the kids to familiarize themselves with the sensation of water before proceeding to the other part of the pool to start the lesson.

After all, how would you expect the coach to teach swimming when the water barely reached the lower part of their knees?

To protect the safety of the children, the pool provided them with arm floaties and swim rings.

When Lin Xi saw there were other children his age practicing to swim on the other side of the pool, his latent competitiveness kicked in. In fact, the boy started to crawl on his own towards the deeper parts of the pool.

Xiu Ling picked her wiggling boy up from the floor, grabbed a swim ring and waded into the water, her mouth saying, ”Alright, alright, don't need to get all hasty, Lin Xi. Wait for mummy.”

Xiu Ling walked to the middle of the pool and allowed Lin Xi to float beside her. Then, she waved to get the attention of one of the available coaches before turning back to keep an eye on her son. Lin Xi was overly thrilled in the water and Xiu Ling was afraid he might accidentally slip through the hole of the swim ring or something like that.

Right then, Lin Xi tried to paddle away from her, kicking his tiny legs in the water like a newborn duckling. He was heading down a particular direction, his lips mumbling, ”Dada...”

Xiu Ling quickly rushed forward to grab hold of her son before he slipped away from her. Then, she turned her head to where he was rushing down earlier. Xiu Ling had to admit she was impressed by what she saw.

The man was sporting a black swim trunks that reached his knees, the length was just right to show off his powerful thighs. The muscle of his upper body was tight and taut, not one trace of the flabbiness that one would come to expect from someone who worked a desk job. The man was thick-shouldered and his body had volume.

Not only Xiu Ling but a number of female guests' attention was caught when Lin Kang made his appearance. However, unlike the other female guests who blushed with shyness, Xiu Ling merely turned back to pay attention to their son. The indifference with which Xiu Ling treated him for some reason irked Lin Kang.

When he came out of the dressing room and saw what his wife was wearing, that level of discontentment in his heart only continued to rise.

Lin Kang jumped into the pool and instead of heading towards his wife and son, he swam towards the coach that answered Xiu Ling's earlier call. He had a bone to pick with this fella.
