Wen Tingxue was stunned for a few seconds before moving the phone to her ear.
She spoke a little sheepishly.
"...I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"

"No."
Yu Wenli's voice was as hoarse as hers.
It was even tinged with a trace of lingering fear.
"Brother also had a nightmare."
"Huh?"
"I dreamed... I couldn't save you..."
Recalling the scene in the dream, Yu Wenli still felt a tremor in his heart.
He feared he would never forget that day for the rest of his life.
Beneath the icy water, her eyes were unfocused, her limbs hanging limp, without a flicker of struggle.
It seemed... she yearned for death with all her might...

Yu Wenli's breath hitched as he pressed a hand to his wildly beating heart. He'd been having these dreams for days.
In the dream, he could never reach her.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't grasp her hand.
"Yi Yi."
After a long silence, Yu Wenli asked, "Why are you afraid of water?"
His voice, still groggy from waking, was tinged with a gravelly huskiness that sounded exceptionally deep and resonant.
Wen Tingxue curled her knees up, resting her chin on them. "I..."
When she was twelve, after graduating from primary school, her cousin insisted on taking her to the beach.
She no longer remembered exactly what happened then.
The only thing she clearly recalled was her cousin throwing her off their small boat.

It was only because she hadn't obeyed him, causing him to lose face in front of his friends.
She had been stubborn that day too, refusing to apologize to him.
In the end, he lost his patience, pushing her into the water again and again, forcing her to apologize.
Yu Wenli sat up and fumbled for a cigarette and a lighter from the bedside table.
He lit it, took a deep drag, and his voice grew even more hoarse.
"Who saved you?"
He asked.
Wen Tingxue said, "My cousin, he happened to be boating in that area that day."
Otherwise, she wouldn't know if she would still be alive.
"Have you told your parents about this?"

"No."
Yu Wenli responded with a quiet hum, and then silence fell between them.
The only sound on the phone was him smoking.
Wen Tingxue stared at the flickering light, lost in thought.
It wasn't until she heard the 'sizzle' of the cigarette being extinguished that she came back to herself. "I..."
Yu Wenli said, "Tomorrow, brother will teach you to swim, will you come?"
He felt those dreams were a warning of sorts.
She was afraid of water and couldn't swim.
If, one day, he wasn't by her side, the scene from the dream would become a reality.
He wouldn't be able to reach her, no matter how desperately he tried.

"..."
Wen Tingxue silently resisted.
Yu Wenli lit another cigarette, waiting in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the young girl softly replied, "...Okay."
-
When Yu Wenli taught, he truly taught.
From swimming to boxing, he held nothing back.
By the end of the day, Wen Tingxue's entire body was sore and weak.
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore..."
Wen Tingxue clung to the ropes, refusing to get up and be beaten again.
This is not teaching a student, I suspect you are taking revenge for personal grievances.
Her accusing gaze, her accusatory tone.
Yu Wenli stood beside her, leisurely untying his boxing gloves.
He raised an eyebrow at her words.
"You can suspect my ulterior motives for teaching you to swim, but not for boxing. I was teaching you very seriously."
"..."
Wen Tingxue gave him two weak glares, "As if you weren't teaching swimming seriously..."
She suddenly stopped, as if remembering something.
Yu Wenli raised an eyebrow, "Why did you stop talking?"
Wen Tingxue quickly got up, her cheeks slightly flushed, "I'm going to change."

A familiar low chuckle came from the ring behind her. The young girl turned her head indignantly and said fiercely,
"What are you laughing at! You're not allowed to laugh!"
"Mhm, mhm." kuAiδugg
The young man nodded in agreement, but the smile on his lips grew even more unrestrained.
Wen Tingxue left in a huff, her back radiating a fiery temper.
Yu Wenli looked at the girl's slender, delicate waist, barely graspable, and couldn't help but recall their various encounters in the swimming pool.
Indeed.
He was no gentleman.
He couldn't be a saint in front of her.
Even though his original intention in teaching her to swim was for her to master a skill and have one less weakness.

But as he taught, things gradually changed.
For example, breathing underwater.
And then again, breathing underwater.
After tasting the sweetness of cherries, he couldn't help but want to taste them again.
Hmm... sweet.
-
In the car.
Knowing she had suffered today, Yu Wenli proactively massaged her legs.
The pressure was neither too light nor too heavy, just right.
Sometimes, Yu Wenli himself doubted if she was born to be his bane.
How could he be so accustomed to serving her after being served by her for over a decade?
It was almost innate.
"You can't really blame brother for being harsh, brother can't always be by your side.
"So, you must have enough self-protection ability."
Yu Wenli feared she was still unhappy about his harshness today.
He admitted he hadn't gone easy on her during boxing, but there was no other way.
Shang Ziqian was lurking, and Yu Jie and Yu Yahe were all trouble.
No one knew when the next accident would occur.
He was truly afraid of what happened at the birthday banquet happening again, and he wasn't by her side.
He'd rather force growth than no growth at all.

"I know~"
Wen Tingxue leaned against the cushion he had prepared, her legs resting on his thighs, holding the milk tea he had bought.
"I'm not angry, it's just that my body hurts... it really hurts..."
Stretching hurt.
Falling hurt.
Getting hit hurt.
In short, today was painful all day.
Except for swimming, which was easier.
Thinking of swimming, Wen Tingxue unconsciously glanced at his thin, sexy lips.
They truly looked like jelly, soft and bouncy...

"Hmm?"
Yu Wenli caught her ill-intentioned gaze, his eyebrows playfully raised.
"Sister Yi Yi, what are you looking at? Why is your face red?"
"I..." Wen Tingxue cleverly turned the tables, "I'm looking at someone who lacks professional ethics."
What kind of teacher would take advantage of a student?
Hmph!
No professional ethics!
"Mhm," the other party admitted shamelessly, "Brother indeed lacks professional ethics.
"After all, brother doesn't want to be your teacher, brother only wants to be your..."
At the crucial moment, he lowered his head to massage.

Wen Tingxue took a sip of her milk tea and asked casually, "What?"
"Future boyfriend." He looked up, his gaze hot and unashamed.
-
The Wen family residence was mostly empty.
So, Yu Wenli took her directly to the Yu family for dinner.
When they got out of the car, Wen Tingxue's legs were so weak that if Yu Wenli hadn't reached out in time.
She would have fallen.
Yu Wenli weighed the light little figure in his arms.
He couldn't help but tease.
"If you wanted a hug, you should have just said so. If you fell, brother would have been heartbroken."

"No way!"
The young girl's face turned red from his teasing, and she retorted fiercely.
"It's clearly your massage technique that's not good! I could still walk when I came out, but I can't after you massaged me!"
Yu Wenli: "..."
So it's all his fault?
Yu Wenhe and Wen Jinyan happened to be home and saw their son enter, holding the young girl and being rendered speechless by her words.
They instantly believed the young girl's account.
"Xiao Wen, what's wrong with you? If something happens to sister, I won't forgive you!"
"Should we still call a doctor to have a look?"
Yu Wen was worried that his son might have actually caused some problem for the young girl with his massage.

Wen Tingxue hadn't expected them to be home.
She was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.
She had no idea how to explain.
Yu Wenli accepted the scolding calmly and then carried her upstairs.
When he placed her on the bay window, Yu Wenli suddenly said very seriously:
"From now on, if anyone bullies you, beat them to death, and then cry to your teacher.
"Your face is beautiful, it looks like you're the one being bullied.
"So, whatever you say, people will believe it.
"After all, even my parents choose to believe you."
Wen Tingxue: "..."

"Even if the worst happens, brother has your back, what are you afraid of?"

After dinner, the two of them studied the physics weekly test paper for a while.
"If you can score ninety-five points, brother will take you to see a movie next week."
Wen Tingxue's eyes lit up, "Are you sure?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then you just wait to pay!"
She was confident she could get a perfect score this time!

Yu Wenli smiled, "I'd be happy to."
"Hey?" Wen Tingxue glanced at the time, "Aren't you going to the bar today?"
"No."
"Why?"
Didn't he always go without fail before?
What's different today?
Is he feeling unwell?
Yu Wenli reached out to cover her scrutinizing gaze and whispered in her ear:
"The little girl was wronged today, brother needs to coax her to be at ease."
