Looking back on 2009

Chapter 413 Swimming
Summer in Jiangcheng is much longer than winter.

After living alone for a period of time, Chen Zhihe's work and rest schedule gradually became regular.

Ruan Mi said that she wanted to come back to see him, but she just made phone calls or made video calls from time to time, and didn't mention the matter of coming back.

Chen Zhihe was enjoying his current life, seeing that she didn't mention it, he didn't take the initiative to ask.

Anyway, it's just such a tepid connection.

On the contrary, the temperature in Jiangcheng is becoming more and more outrageous day by day, even a person like Chen Zhihe who thinks he is used to the hot summer in Jiangcheng can't stand it anymore.

He would go to the balcony at night to see the lake and enjoy the breeze, but now he doesn't even open the balcony door.

Going out is to take a sauna, no one can stand it.

He would put it away when running in the morning, just in case he would suffer from heat stroke.

But it's not a problem to stay in the house all the time. He decided to learn how to swim.

Jiang University's Limbo Gate Chen Zhiyu can be seen from the balcony. As the weather turns hot, more and more people go swimming.

But for the landlubber Chen Zhihe, if he went to play in the East Lake, he could only look at it on the shore, and forget about going into the water.

Although he could bring a swimming ring, he couldn't save his face.

Even so, he still couldn't bear it.

So, he went to sign up for a swimming training class.

He didn't expect to become a good swimmer either, at least he should be able to get rid of the swimming ring and play in the water.

There was no other way, with the weather in Jiangcheng, the temptation to play in the water was really hard to resist.

Of course, it is also possible that he was too strictly controlled when he was a child, and now he is in the rebellious period.

The training class was in a gymnasium not far from the school, with a standard swimming pool. For some reason, someone contracted out a training class.

The price is not expensive, and the fees are divided into several grades according to different levels of learning.

The person in charge of the reception saw that he came by car, and kept trying to sell him the most advanced class. This kind of customer is rare.

Chen Zhihe didn't bother to worry about it, so he directly enrolled in the most advanced class.

One-to-one teaching, including learning and meeting, and a swimming lane of your own.

The price is 5000 yuan.

Kind of outrageous, but not that outrageous either.

The first time he went there, Chen Zhihe just registered his name, took a look at the environment of the venue, and left.

The main reason is that he went without bringing anything, and it is not suitable for going directly into the water.

According to what the people at the venue told him, after buying swimming trunks, a cap, goggles and other things, Chen Zhihe started his first swimming lesson the next day.

The next day was a sunny day in summer as usual, after parking the car, Chen Zhihe got into the gymnasium with his things.

Received a hand card at the front desk of the lobby, and a female coach wearing a badge led Chen Zhihe into the swimming pool, looking quite young.

"Has Mr. Chen ever swam before?"

Chen Zhihe, who was following behind, was looking around, when he heard the sound, he raised his head and glanced at the girl.

To be honest, he didn't have any requirements for the coach at first. He came to swim, and he didn't do anything else. As long as he can teach him, the rest doesn't matter.

But I don't know if it's a means of keeping customers in the training class or what, so I arranged a female coach for him.

He didn't object.

Although I have no other thoughts in my heart, but who would like to see shirtless old men when they can see beauties in swimsuits.

The voice is quite pleasant, and the appearance... seems to be okay.

At first, Chen Zhihe didn't pay attention to it, but after a closer look, it's actually not bad.

Although it is not a particularly good-looking type, it is more attractive. The key is to have a good figure, with lordosis and back curl.

Glancing at the badge, it said Senior Coach Shu Yi.

It doesn't seem to be younger than Xiao Mi, thinking about it, Chen Zhihe subconsciously smacked his lips.

"I haven't swam." Looking away, Chen Zhihe shook his head.

Seemingly noticing Chen Zhihe's realization, Shu Yi squinted her eyes and didn't say anything, she had long been used to this look.

She nodded, indicating that she understood.

When she came to the swimming pool, Shu Yi pointed to the small door next to her and said, "Where is the bathroom, go and change your clothes first."

Chen Zhihe went in with his things, and after changing his clothes and coming out, Shu Yi had already changed and was warming up by the pool.

It's not a bikini, it's the kind of swimwear you see in competitions.

It's a pity.

Seeing Chen Zhihe approaching, Shu Yi couldn't help but look at him twice more.

In the past few years, Chen Zhihe has been insisting on exercising, and his well-proportioned muscles are much more eye-catching than most of the people here.

"Do you practice sports?" Shu Yi couldn't help asking.

Chen Zhihe shook his head, said with a smile: "Just keep fit, practice blindly."

Shu Yi didn't ask any more questions, she pointed to the swimming lane ahead and said, "Jump down."

Chen Zhihe was a little taken aback, looked at the swimming pool, and asked, "I don't know anything yet, why don't I go down?"

Well, the main reason is that Chen Zhihe felt that the water looked a little deep.

Shu Yi thought, she seems to be a troublesome student.

When learning to swim, the most important thing is to overcome the fear of water, and the rest come second.

"The water is not deep, don't worry, I'm here." Shu Yi said.

I don't know why, maybe it was the last bit of stubbornness before entering the water, Chen Zhihe pointed to the swimming lane and said to Shu Yi: "I'll warm up first, you swim first, and I'll see how your level is."

Shu Yi raised her eyebrows, said nothing, and jumped into the water.

After diving in the water for a while, she began to surface, her arms flapping in the water, and she began to swim forward.

Maybe it was stimulated by Chen Zhihe's words. After swimming to the opposite side in freestyle, she switched to backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly on the return journey, and swam back in one breath.

Holding on to the handle by the pool, with a push of his arm, he propped himself out of the water and sat on the edge of the pool.

One back and forth, 100 meters, Shu Yi just panted slightly.

"Professional?" Chen Zhihe was obviously convinced.

"It used to be in the provincial team." Shu Yi patted the water droplets on her body, nodded.

Chen Zhihe gave a thumbs up with a smile and said, "Amazing."

He also didn't ask why "before", why she is here as a coach now.

Everyone has their own story, but not everyone is willing to tell their story to others.

However, taking another look at the tall tower in front of the swimsuit, Chen Zhizhen was thoughtful, maybe this was also the reason.

For girls, this is a good thing, but for many athletes, this is a flaw.

"Go into the water, hold the handrail, and I'll teach you to practice your movements in the water." Seemingly realizing that Chen Zhihe was looking at her, Shu Yi pointed to the swimming lane and said.

Thinking that he would have to pass this test no matter what, Chen Zhihe gritted his teeth, supported his hands and went down into the water.

Half-squatting inside, holding the handrail tightly with both hands, Chen Zhihe felt a sense of pressure in his chest, his breathing was not comfortable, and his heartbeat was also a little rapid.

It was the first time he went into the water, even Chen Zhihe, who had an unusual psychological quality, was a little nervous.

Involuntarily, he looked at Shu Yi.

Seeing Chen Zhihe's nervous landlubbing appearance, the corners of Shu Yi's mouth slightly raised, "Stand up straight, the water is not deep, don't be nervous."

After Chen Zhihe heard the words and tried it, he felt that his feet had touched the bottom, and he felt more at ease, and he was not so nervous anymore.

"Let go of your hands and move forward."

Chen Zhihe hesitated for a moment, let go of the handle, and tried to walk forward.

The water was almost up to his chin, and walking on tiptoes was no problem.

After walking about 10 meters away, Shu Yi asked him to walk back.

After repeating this several times, Chen Zhihe gradually got a little trick and got used to the buoyancy of the water.

Sure enough, swimming is fun, he thought.
