Chapter 1045: Chapter 1069: Might as Well Be Dead
If it werenât for fear, Shi Nuan really wanted to slap Chu Zhan, that person who talks without any understanding. He doesnât understand anything at all. How can he speak so lightly? If it really were as simple as he said...
Then all those swimming instructors over the years who couldnât handle her should just go and die.
Shi Nuan wasnât in the mood to think too much. She was too panicked; after struggling for just a few moments, her body completely lost strength, and she sank beneath the water.
Have you ever experienced that feeling of being surrounded by suffocation, unable to find a way out?
Just like now, the waterâs surface is violently shaking, endless liquid enveloping Shi Nuanâs senses.
She canât hear anything, only the sound of the water flowing, like the demonic sound of hell.
She feels water entering her nose, mouth, and ears, making her extremely uncomfortable, while her limbs become weak and tense under the waterâs pressure.
That desire to struggle, yet unable to muster an ounce of strength, like being tightly entwined by a venomous snake, completely unable to break free, forced to wait for death.
Is she going to die?
Shi Nuan couldnât even hear her own heartbeat anymore.
But then, a hand reached through the water, grabbed her arm, held her waist, and forcefully pulled her out of that suffocation.
"Nuannuan, Nuannuan." Chu Zhan placed Shi Nuan on the shore, nervously patting her face, only to find his hand soaked with warm tears, "Nuannuan, are you okay?"
A loud slap.
Responding to Chu Zhan.
Was Shi Nuanâs angry slap.
"Chu Zhan, you lunatic! Who told you to push me? Youâre trying to kill me! Are you sick or what? Damn you!"
Chu Zhan was stunned by the scolding, watching Shi Nuan breathe heavily as she tried to get up, he grabbed her hand again, "Shi Nuan, where are you going?"
"I want to go back." Shi Nuan wiped her face, her voice still filled with fear, still trembling, "I donât want to stay here anymore, I want to leave, I want to go home, I donât want to be here, let me go."
"You want to leave? Shi Nuan, are you crazy? Youâve worked so hard to get here; if you leave now, youâre finished!"
Chu Zhan shouted furiously, "By then, your fear of water will be known by everyone. After you graduate, which workplace will want you?"
"What does that have to do with you? Can you mind your own business?"
"Shi Nuan, Iâm your coach; I canât give up on you. Can you persevere a little longer? Look, you were just able to get into the water, thatâs progress!"
"Enough!"
Shi Nuanâs tears flowed, "Stop talking so lightly; youâre not me, you donât understand. I canât hold on. I have no way to face this; itâs the shadow of my life, do you understand!"
"I donât understand!" Chu Zhanâs tone was urgent, "I only know that no matter what shadow it is, as long as you can persevere, you can definitely overcome it. We learned this lesson in elementary school: nothing in the world is difficult if you have the heart. Nuannuan, weâve come this far, thereâs no room for retreat, and I wonât let you waste your talent like this."
"Why, why do you always pressure me!"
Shi Nuanâs eyes became red, her emotions completely exploded,
"Everyone pressures me; donât I have human rights? Canât I decide for myself? Why must I do according to your thinking? Can you let me choose for myself just once?"
