Chapter 397: Muscular without His Clothes On

The pool wasn’t deep, and he hadn’t dropped her from very high up, but after being thrown in the water like that, Yun Xi had still choked on a few mouthfuls of water.

The man standing on the side of the pool had watched her struggling without offering to help. She had yelled for a while before she’d finally realized she could stand up in the pool.

During those few short seconds, Mu Feichi’s facial expression had turned very ugly.

He knew that these few seconds were important for her to overcome her fear.

However, he also knew she must have experienced the fear of death, as well as feelings of resentment and discomfort.

Empathizing with her, he stood still on the side of the pool.

Once she’d stood up, Yun Xi appeared to feel embarra.s.sed.

She had been splas.h.i.+ng around and struggling in the water, and she didn’t even realize that she had actually cried out. She raised her head and glared at the man on the side of the pool with annoyance and indignation.

The water in the pool only went up to her waist. The water wasn’t deep, but she had been terrified moments before.

The clothes she was wearing had gotten all wet and were sticking to her body, and she felt as if something invisible was pulling at her.

The powerless feeling of being dragged down had deepened her fear.

Walking slowly to the side of the pool, Yun Xi suddenly stretched out her hand to pull the man standing there into the water with her.

Water splashed everywhere. No longer able to bear the indignation she was feeling inside, Yun Xi clenched her fists and thrust them toward this man who had dropped her in the water.

He was already feeling really bad when he’d realized how scared she had been, so he didn’t plan to fight back at all. As her fist was about to punch him, he pulled her into his arms.

She must have been truly enraged because her fists wouldn’t stop punching him in the chest.

“Mu Feichi, you jerk! If you wanted to kill me, why didn’t you use another method?”

After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, her throat felt a little sore. Her voice full of resentment made Mu Feichi feel very helpless.

In her last life, when she had been very young, Liang Xinyi had pushed her into a pond, and she had almost drowned. It was her childhood friend from the same village, Tang Cheng, who had jumped into the water and saved her.

Since then, she had been afraid of water and drowning, and she had developed a deep fear of water.

She really hadn’t expected that Mu Feichi would really throw her in.

The feeling of terror she had felt just now made her remember the terror she had felt when there were only a few seconds left in her consciousness after she had been pushed off the balcony by Han Yaotian.

If it weren’t for the fact that she would sometimes wake up feeling that kind of fear after nightmares, she would definitely be livid at this moment.

After she had finally stopped hitting him, he brushed away the wet hair on her forehead and expressed his anguish by trying to explain why he had done it.

“Babe, it doesn’t matter if you have mastered all of Li Zilan’s survival techniques. If you fall into the water one day and can’t save yourself since you don’t know how to swim, you can only wait to drown. It definitely wouldn’t feel any better than these few fearful seconds.”

“…” Yun Xi grit her teeth and said nothing, because she knew that he was right.

Only those who have died in a previous life could understand how terrifying the fear and powerlessness of an imminent death were.

If she couldn’t learn to swim, then this could be the biggest weakness of her life.

In the future, if someone wanted to harm her and threw her directly into the water, she wouldn’t be able to save herself.

It was useless to master all sorts of survival techniques if she didn’t have this one.

“How about it, do you want to learn?” He was insistent on this matter, but he wouldn’t force her.

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and grit her teeth. She wanted to learn. She must learn!

Upon seeing that she had been swayed, Mu Feichi lost his sense of urgency.

“Since you don’t want to learn, then just soak in here with me. This is hot spring water, and soaking is good for your body.”

As he said this, he stretched out his hand to take off his wet sweater and threw it to the side of the pool.

When Yun Xi saw how he took off his clothes in front of her without any restraint, she suddenly gasped.

Especially since the man in front of her appeared very muscular without his clothes on.

No, no! She shouldn’t focus of that.

Yun Xi couldn’t help but yell, “Ah, Mu Feichi, you’re too shameless! If you wanted to undress, couldn’t you have warned me in advance and let me go out of the room?”

Jerk! He had done it on purpose.
