Ch 34: Athletic Talent
Huo Xinghai’s expression turned serious in a second, then he thought of the previous anomaly, “Was it in the sea?”
Gu Qingyin shook her head, “I also thought it was in the sea, but I didn’t find it, it might have run away.” After a pause, in case he didn’t take it seriously, she continued: “The place where the Lin Family Siblings live isn’t very clean either, so be careful.”
Huo Xinghai grasped the jade pendant and nodded.
Gu Qingyin smiled at this, “You don’t need to be too nervous, I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
【Is there anything my esteemed VIP can’t hear? Why are they turning off the microphone?】
【Hai Baoer! You’ve corrupted your mother!】
【Where’s the director? Can’t you manage the guests! What’s with turning off the microphone all the time!】
【Deduct money! You must deduct money! Unless you tell me, what exactly did you say?】
The director smiled coldly in the monitoring room, hilarious, if he could manage them, would he watch them turn off the microphone again and again?
The mother and son didn’t stay at the villa for long, and soon returned to the beach by sightseeing car. After getting off, they went straight to the wake boat. The wake boat had tow ropes and professional surfboards, as well as one-on-one coaches to escort them throughout the entire process.
Wake boarding looks very cool and professional, but this sport is actually very easy to learn, and even those who can’t swim can quickly master it. Because wake boarding is done in a shallow sea area, as long as you wear a life jacket, there is not much danger even if you fall into the sea.
Compared to motorboats, Huo Xinghai felt that wake boarding was safer.
The wake boat set off quickly. The mother and son put on life jackets and listened carefully to the coach’s explanation on how to get on the board, how to maintain balance, how to stand up, when to release the tow rope, what to do if you fall into the water, and so on.
The coach taught very seriously, the language was concise and easy to understand, and the entire lesson was completed in a few minutes.
At the same time, the wake boat also arrived at the designated area, and they could go into the water after warming up.
“Have you played this before?” Gu Qingyin asked.
Huo Xinghai shook his head, “I only know ordinary surfing.”
Gu Qingyin was surprised, “That’s more difficult, isn’t it?”
“It’s okay, I have strong athletic talent, I learn everything very quickly.” Huo Xinghai’s lips curled into a faint smile, as he recalled: “When I was a child, I was very energetic and couldn’t stay idle every day. I learned a lot of things, and I got very tanned every summer, completely different from the other two.”
When he was very young, his eldest brother showed the temperament of a Dominant President.
He hated the smell of sweat, and only went to the gym at fixed times. He would take a shower immediately after exercising, and the rest of the time he was either reading or looking for books.
He looked down on the peers around him, thinking they were stupid and naive, and he didn’t bother to make friends at all. It wasn’t until he took over the family business that he gradually became more sophisticated.
Third Oldest, on the other hand, was withdrawn since he was a child. Apart from going to school, he locked himself in his room the rest of the time, and no one knew what he was researching. He was neurotic and a little crazy every day.
Later, for some unknown reason, he came into contact with e-sports, and Third Oldest went from being a deadbeat to an e-sports deadbeat.
Huo Xinghai always felt that he was the most normal of the three brothers.
Gu Qingyin liked to hear him say these things, listening while warming up. When the coach notified them to go into the water, she patted her second son’s shoulder with lingering interest, “Let’s continue chatting later.”
Huo Xinghai smiled and nodded, “I’ll go down first, pay attention to my movements later.”
Gu Qingyin agreed.
Huo Xinghai was indeed an expert. He only fell once before quickly mastering the technique. He stood up, stabilized himself, and decisively let go, riding the waves behind the wake boat.
Gu Qingyin cheered with a smile, taking pictures with her phone non-stop.
Huo Xinghai didn’t play for long before Gu Qingyin went down, after all, they had to complete the task, not really come to play.
Gu Qingyin still had a bit of an instinctive fear of water, but wearing a life jacket, the feeling of floating on the sea was unexpectedly good, like flying.
Soon, she overcame her fear, grabbed the tow rope, and signaled the coach to start.
Gu Qingyin’s athletic talent was also ridiculously strong. She only fell a few times before finding the trick, mainly relying on the strength of her core and legs. After stepping on the surfboard, she slowly squatted down to find her center of gravity, then maintained her balance, stood up, and let go.
The camera director pressed the stopwatch. As long as she successfully surfed for five seconds, the task would be completed.
Gu Qingyin swayed as if she was about to fall at any moment, but each time she managed to stabilize herself with a close call. Finally, a big wave came, and she fell off the board, but quickly resurfaced.
Huo Xinghai stood at the stern of the boat and asked loudly, “How is it? Did you choke on any water?”
Gu Qingyin would disappear into the sea from time to time. She couldn’t open her mouth, so she held up a thumb to indicate that she was okay.
Huo Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the director, “Is the task completed?”
The camera director showed the stopwatch, “Six seconds, congratulations on completing the task.”
Huo Xinghai smiled, turned his head and asked Gu Qingyin again, “The task is completed, do you still want to play?”
Gu Qingyin held up one finger, indicating one last time.
This time she obviously mastered it better, and thoroughly experienced the joy of surfing. When she returned to the boat, she still had a big smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes curved in a particularly bright way.
【Oh no! It’s the feeling of being moved!】
【Is this woman really middle-aged? Her athletic talent makes this young person ashamed.】
【It’s reasonable to suspect that Hai Baoer’s athletic talent is inherited from his mother.】
【Don’t be so absolute, it may also be inherited from his father?】
【This year! I must go to the beach to experience wake boarding!】
……
After getting off the boat, the two experienced parasailing nearby.
Gu Qingyin felt it was so-so, not as interesting as surfing, nor as exciting as motor boating, but it was also quite enjoyable, and it was very cool to feel the breeze up there.
After that, they went snorkeling, and it was indeed very novel to float on the sea and watch the colorful scenery of the seabed.
Gu Qingyin accidentally drifted a little further, and then she noticed a slightly familiar Yin energy approaching. Turning her head to look, it was indeed Lin Xian.
After playing for so long, the Yin energy on Lin Xian’s body had dissipated a lot. If he didn’t return to the villa at night, this encounter would have almost no impact on him, but it was impossible for him not to go back.
The two greeted each other with gestures, and then swam towards the shore together.
As for Huo Xinghai, he didn’t snorkel, but chose to deep dive instead, and the production crew agreed.
The footage brought by deep diving was not comparable to snorkeling, the director wasn’t stupid, of course he wouldn’t refuse.
After going ashore, Gu Qingyin asked, “How many activities have you experienced?”
Lin Xian had experienced each activity twice, and his physical exertion was a bit high. He exhaled, his voice showing obvious fatigue, “Three.”
Gu Qingyin smiled, a sly look flashing in her eyes, “That’s about enough, you can’t eat too much. If you want to eat a few more dishes, we can share a meal.”
Lin Xian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, he couldn’t help but grin, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said cheerfully, “Okay! I’ll share with you!”
Asking for votes! My darlings!
