Chapter 1735: Poolside Temptation: Turmoil in Her Heart

Ever since receiving someone’s invitation, Yan Chi has been waiting for her message, but...

Waiting and waiting, there was zero communication.

He even began to suspect that this girl might be deliberately tricking him.

Even his assistant noticed that Mr. Xiaoyan had been checking his phone more frequently than before and wondered what important information he was waiting for. Once, unable to resist asking, and was only met with a rather cold glance and the words:

"So interested in my personal life?"

He was scared and fled!

Actually, Jiang Ruan has indeed been quite busy lately. The freshman military training is nearing its end, and although her role in the student council involves some playful antics, it’s the busy season with the need for helpers at events, and she’s been called in to assist. She also has classes, leaving her dizzy with busyness, naturally not having the time for Yan Chi.

It wasn’t until the student council senior informed her that there would be a dinner gathering after the event that she remembered the matter.

There’s no time like the present, and coincidentally it was Saturday, estimating that Yan Chi wouldn’t be working, she gave him a call.

"I’m at the swimming pool in the South District, I’ll come to pick you up later." Yan Chi didn’t know she would invite him, so he went to the pool to relax.

"Don’t bother coming to pick me up, I’ll come find you. There’s a direct bus from the university, it’s very convenient."

Since she was treating, it didn’t feel right to make someone always come pick her up from the city.

Before Yan Chi could say anything else, the call was hung up, and he sent her a message, telling her to stay safe and to call when she arrived.

South District, Swimming Pool

Jiang Ruan arrived at around three in the afternoon, the hottest part of the day. She hadn’t been here before, only knew the pool was next to the sports complex, said to be used by the professional swim team and rarely open to the public, so the area was quite empty.

Even the entrance was desolate, with only a cold drink stand selling coconut water and soft drinks. Jiang Ruan bought a soda and another one for Yan Chi before heading inside the pool.

Although it wasn’t open to the public, there weren’t many guards outside, so she walked straight in without obstruction.

Following the signs, she quickly found the pool and saw the people who were swimming...

There were a few people in the pool and some scattered around, along with coaches and two lifeguards. Somehow, she immediately recognized Yan Chi.

He appeared as if born for the water, tall and with long legs. With his clothes off, submerged in the pool, his physique was even more apparent, showcasing his body’s superiority completely.

His movements were professional and smooth, his body submerged, muscle lines not clearly visible, yet inexplicably making her face grow slightly warm.

"Hey, this place is not open to the public..." Someone walked over, interrupting her thoughts.

"I’m looking for someone." Jiang Ruan pointed to Yan Chi.

The person seemed somewhat surprised, Jiang Ruan thought he didn’t believe her, but then the person suddenly shouted, "Senior Yan, a pretty girl is looking for you!"

The voice was extremely loud, echoing in the somewhat empty swimming pool, instantly—

All eyes concentrated on her.

Jiang Ruan’s face suddenly felt hot with embarrassment.

By this time, Yan Chi had already changed direction, swimming towards her. As he approached the pool edge, he pushed up with both hands, breaking through the water, water droplets rolling down his body’s lines, brilliantly outlining his muscles, not exaggerated, but extremely beautiful.

He raised his hand to remove his swim cap, gave his head a slight shake, grabbed a towel from the side, and quickly wiped his body.

Just like that, bare feet on the wet surface, he walked towards her.

Jiang Ruan had always known Yan Chi was handsome, just hadn’t expected without clothes...

Even more attractive!

With the long-term swimming, his body’s lines were incredibly beautiful, tall with long arms and legs, especially having just emerged from the water, still glistening with droplets. Normally feeling him as aloof and unapproachable, today she felt...

So attractive, somewhat sexy.

Until he was about to get close, she averted her gaze slightly.

He approached, standing in front of her, the height difference causing him to bend slightly forward, the eye contact not exactly parallel yet seeming exceptionally intimate, "Glad you made it."

His voice seemed even gentler than usual.

And so close...

Jiang Ruan felt her ears heat, looking at him, slightly nodding.

"Would you like to sit on the chairs over there while I take a quick shower and be right out?"

"Okay."

She nodded in response. After he left, she obediently sat on the side. But then the person who loudly shouted for Yan Chi came over to her, "What’s your relationship with Senior?"

"Yan Chi?" Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow, "Friends." She wasn’t quite sure how to describe their relationship.
