I am not just a tycoon

Long Jinghan suddenly felt a bit sentimental. A leisurely breeze blew overhead, the moon revealed its charming figure, and the person beside her was adorable and gentle, making the future seem bright.

"Maybe."

Qiao Lei pursed her lips, also falling into deep thought. She hadn't lived in such a household, nor did she have such a mother, so she couldn't fully relate, but she saw more hope in her senior's eyes than before.

Ji Ya watched the two of them, her expression blooming like a smile. Except for the earlier "competition" and not wearing swimsuits in the pool, everything felt good.

Yet, annoyingly though it was called a competition, the boss didn't announce the ranks, merely declaring Qiao Lei as the first place, and then said no more.

Thinking about it, it must have been out of consideration for both their feelings. After all, she was a bit older than Jinghan, and if Jinghan were declared the youngest, she would definitely be unhappy.

Long Jinghan thought so too. She felt she was a bit older than Sister Ji Ya, and if names were announced, Sister Ji Ya would probably feel sad.

Meanwhile, the referee, Shen Yuan, was propping his chin, evaluating which one of them to give the first lesson to, somewhat torn.

Long Jinghan, though deserving of some priority today, was too lacking in strength for the first lesson.

Ji Ya, who warmed up slowly, would perform better after watching a lesson or two.

So, after considering everything, only the mischievous Qiao Lei was to receive the first lesson...

"This is a rational analysis, don't think I'm targeting you."

Shen Yuan thought to himself, then waved at her, "Qiao Lei, come here."

As soon as Qiao Lei heard him, she furrowed her eyebrows and pouted her rosy lips, "Senior, I already went into the water first just now, why me again!"

Shen Yuan chuckled, "It's not what you think. Just come over."

Qiao Lei huffed, "Senior, including your punctuation marks, I won't believe a word you say!"

"Is that so..."

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, "Then you be the third one to receive a lesson today. But you know, it's getting late, the third lesson might not happen under my watch."

"Senior!"

Qiao Lei wasn't pleased again; she just wanted her lesson to be later, but Shen Yuan meant she might not get a lesson at all.

She swam reluctantly over and nestled next to Shen Yuan, "Got me again, Senior."

"It's not manipulation; it's because I favor you that I'm letting you go first."

Shen Yuan pinched her soft, rosy cheek, then realized that her swim-clad skin was all rosy, and mist clung to her pale neck.

Below her neck, besides white undergarments, there was no extra protection, especially under the water's refraction, the full curves invited endless imagination.

Qiao Lei puffed her cheeks, "That's not true, you just like teasing me."

"Didn't you tease them just now?"

Shen Yuan casually wrapped his arms around her waist in the water. Qiao Lei's natural talent was exceptional, and with the addition of yoga, her waist was not only slender but also soft and tender to the touch.

Underwater, it felt even more unique, its surprising elasticity evident.

"It was for you, wasn't it?"

Qiao Lei said guiltily, knowing quite well how weak her excuse was, but Senior's palms were too skilled, easily stirring her emotions.

"For me?"

"Um, mainly for you."

Qiao Lei bit her lip, her fists clenched underwater, sensing his hands as if they were snakes slithering upwards.

"Senior..."

Shen Yuan, "Hmm?"

Qiao Lei's face flushed hot, her gaze unfocused, "I'm feeling kind of hot, shall we go to the room?"

"No, let's stay in the water."
