Chapter 12

After swimming quite a few laps, his uncomfortableness finally began to ease.

Ye Xingguang lay comfortably in the swimming pool, looking up at the ceiling.

The swimming club was indeed meticulously designed, the overall appearance was that of a beautifully sculpted mermaid. The interior design was filled with the kind of romance loved by women, the second floor swimming pool was at least five times bigger than a regular one, swimming in it was very enjoyable.

What was most breathtaking was the starlit pool ceiling.

It was some sort of advanced technology; the ceiling shimmered with incredibly romantic stardust, just like a real night sky. Within the stars, there was also a bright, lustrous moon, shedding a soft ‘moonlight’, as gentle as the real moonlight, reflecting a rippling water reflection.

Below the night sky, there was a 2D mermaid, sitting on a gigantic rock by the shoreline, combing her hair with her hand.

No wonder the servants said that Ye Junqing liked the national goddess Xia Yanyan, he had even painstakingly built a swimming pool for her, what an awfully tasteless man he was?

Tang Zhou had played till late at night before returning home. He wanted to use the swimming club, since Brother Qing’s pool would just be left there empty anyway…

Ye Xingguang had only heard the footsteps when Tang Zhou had already come to the second floor.

Being slightly goofy, Tang Zhou, fueled by the alcohol, kicked open the door of the swimming pool.

There was a loud bang.

Ye Xingguang jumped in fright.

Who would have thought that someone would come swimming in the middle of the night?

In her panic, without thinking, she dove headfirst into the pool.

Her beautiful mermaid tail, under the starry moonlight, seemed to have absorbed the essence of all colors, radiating a pearl-like glow, casting a stunning parabolic curve in the air.

“Damn!”

Tang Zhou was totally stunned!

He was on the phone with Ji Qishu, on the other end of the line, Ji Qishu heard him curse and responded, “For fuck’s sake! Is it because I didn’t call you a driver? Aren’t you home safe anyway?”

Tang Zhou slowed down only for a second and then leapt up excitedly: “I’m not yelling at you, fuck! Bro, I saw a mermaid!”

“Did you see Xia Yanyan?” noveldrama

“No, a mermaid even more beautiful than Xia Yanyan, damn, that unique color, I can’t describe it, it’s so beautiful, ah ah ah, bro, I’m finally in love!”

Tang Zhou wished he could immediately plunge into the water. But a deep, authoritative voice came from behind him: “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

Tang Zhou stopped in his tracks and turned around: “Brother Qing?”

“Mmm.”

Ye Junqing was wearing a set of pajamas, leisurely strolling in. His pace was slow and relaxed while climbing the steps.

Tang Zhou wanted to rush towards the mesmerizing mermaid, he wanted to tell Qing to walk faster, but he didn’t have the audacity, so he said anxiously: “Brother Qing, why haven’t you gone to bed so late?”

Ye Junqing shot back with a question, “You stink of alcohol, where have you been causing trouble this time?”

“Chess book wanted to propose, he insisted on making me drink a few rounds with him, asking for advice.”

Tang Zhou’s phone call hadn’t ended yet. On the other side, Ji Qishu heard Tang Zhou’s blame and yelled, “Tang Zhou, you bloody liar! Clearly, you were the one saying that Leng Chenmo, the central figure of the Leng family, had tumbled into a rut, a tiger, now like a stray dog being bullied by others. You insisted on making me accompany you to the bar to watch the fun, even saying you wanted to splash the cash, and make him bend over and tie your shoes for you in the future. That’s why I accompanied you to the bar until midnight!”
