Chapter 224: How Can We Survive

Hearing this, Lin Xiao had no choice but to turn around helplessly. He saw that the previously lively Yuan Yu and Huang Caixing were now standing fearfully on the beach, less than a meter from the water, looking at him with pitiful eyes.

What else could Lin Xiao do in such a situation?

He could only give up his plan of swimming in the sea and walk back toward them.

The previously pitiful and aggrieved expressions on Huang Caixing and Yuan Yu’s faces vanished instantly, replaced by joyful smiles.

“Haha, Big Brother Lin, we finally caught you!”

As soon as Lin Xiao reached the shore, Yuan Yu and Huang Caixing rushed up to him, grabbing his arms from either side and not letting go.

Seeing the two girls, who were pitiful one moment and beaming the next, he could only sigh that women are natural actors.

“Big Brother Lin, don’t think about running away. Teach us how to swim,” Huang Caixing said, beaming.

With a slight smile, Lin Xiao said, “I never said I wouldn’t teach you. Let go of my hands first.”

“Yay! Thank you, Big Brother Lin.”

However, to Lin Xiao’s surprise, his agreement didn’t make them let go. Instead, it led to a more enthusiastic response.

Huang Caixing, in her excitement, gave Lin Xiao a warm hug. Her hot body pressed against him, and even with his self-control, he almost lost control.

Fortunately, Huang Caixing let go after a brief hug. Otherwise, if it lasted longer, even with his restraint, he might have lost control, which would have been embarrassing, especially since he was still wearing a swimsuit.

“Big Brother Lin, teach me first, teach me first.”

After the hug, both Yuan Yu and Huang Caixing argued over who should learn to swim first.

Lin Xiao felt a headache coming on. If he randomly chose one to teach first, the other might get upset, thinking he was playing favorites. But Lin Xiao wasn’t an ordinary person. He was the Night Emperor, a renowned master in the underground world and a martial arts grandmaster.

Lin Xiao was initially at a loss but quickly had a bright idea. He smiled and said, “You both can come at once.”

Huang Caixing and Yuan Yu were surprised. Teaching swimming wasn’t a simple task. They were astonished and said, “Big Brother Lin, are you sure you can handle us both? There are two of us, you know.”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s no problem. I’ll spread my arms. Caixing, you lie on my right arm, and Little Yu, you lie on my left arm. Although it might be a bit inconvenient, it’s okay. We’ll start with the basics.”

After speaking, Lin Xiao spread his arms and looked at the two girls.

Standing at about 1.8 meters tall, Lin Xiao had long arms. As a martial artist, holding up two people posed no issue for him, but teaching them to swim simultaneously would be quite difficult.

Swimming wasn’t inherently hard, but teaching someone who didn’t know how to swim to learn quickly was not easy, let alone teaching two people at the same time.

However, Lin Xiao didn’t plan to use conventional methods to teach them. His arms were just a cover.

“Big Brother Lin, why don’t you teach Caixing first? I’m not in a hurry,” Yuan Yu said, feeling a bit embarrassed when she saw Lin Xiao plan to teach them both simultaneously.

Though she couldn’t swim, she knew it was quite challenging for one person to teach two people to swim at the same time.

Having made up his mind, Lin Xiao didn’t bother with any more explanations.

He smiled and said with confidence, “Don’t worry, it will be fine.”

Yuan Yu didn’t say anything further, not wanting him to misunderstand her as not trusting him.

So, the two girls cautiously placed their stomachs on Lin Xiao’s arms, preparing to lift their feet off the ground.

To their surprise, Lin Xiao’s arms seemed to have magical powers. Before they could react, he had already lifted them up, allowing them to float steadily on the sea. This made them both excited and a bit scared.

“Ahhh, Big Brother Lin, is this okay? It’s so exciting!”

“It’s okay, don’t worry,” Lin Xiao reassured them with a smile, but his expression quickly changed.

The girls were wearing swimsuits, which, although not overly revealing, were still swimsuits.

Supporting the girls by their stomachs, feeling their smooth, white skin, and seeing their graceful figures right before his eyes, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

At this moment, he realized that his earlier suggestion was like putting himself on a hot stove.

The two girls, unaware of Lin Xiao’s inner turmoil, were thrilled by the experience of floating in the sea and exclaimed excitedly, “Big Brother Lin, you’re amazing!”

Hearing the excited shouts from the two girls, Lin Xiao felt embarrassed to say anything more. He had no choice but to collect his thoughts, quietly circulating his inner strength, and said with a smile, “We’re about to start. Hold on tight.”

Lin Xiao used his arms to support their abdomens and then kicked his legs, moving forward like a great bird spreading its wings. They swiftly moved away from the shore.

“Ahhh! Big Brother Lin, you’re amazing! Haha, I can swim now!”

The girls initially thought Lin Xiao would just let them paddle around in the shallow water. They were surprised that he could swim forward while carrying them. This exhilarating experience left them babbling excitedly, making them feel like they had already learned to swim.

Seeing their excitement, Lin Xiao couldn’t bear to dampen their spirits by telling them they were far from truly learning to swim. However, with Lin Xiao’s help, learning to swim wouldn’t be too difficult.

The reason most people find swimming hard to learn in a short time is due to an innate fear of water. Once someone overcomes this fear and can remain calm in the water, learning to swim becomes much easier.

Lin Xiao swam with the two girls in the sea. Using his inner strength, he subtly kept the water away from them, so they didn’t choke on water or feel afraid of it. Gradually, they began to move their hands and feet in a coordinated manner.

After about an hour, Lin Xiao quietly withdrew his supporting arms, and they were able to swim a short distance on their own. They had roughly learned how to swim.

The holiday crowd at Jinghai Beach was large, and there were other girls nearby also learning to swim. Seeing how well Lin Xiao was teaching, they looked enviously at Yuan Yu and Huang Caixing. Some even mustered the courage to ask Lin Xiao if he could teach them as well.

More exaggeratedly, some couples were there, with the men awkwardly teaching their girlfriends to swim. Seeing how quickly Yuan Yu and Huang Caixing learned, the girlfriends couldn’t help but complain to their boyfriends.

“Look at them. One person taught two girls to swim, and you can’t even teach me properly. Why are you so useless?”

Hearing their girlfriends’ complaints, the nearby men looked at Lin Xiao with resentment. “You bring two girls to play, fine. But you have to be so good at teaching swimming too? How are we supposed to keep up with that?!”
