"Lose and become a foot-washing maid? That’s quite a wager." Chen Linsuang glanced at them and said with a smile, "Alright." After saying that, she leaped into the pool and used the Water Flower Disappearance Technique. Just this move alone made it clear to everyone that her swimming skills were extraordinary. The double-eyelid girl playing with a swim ring next to An Youqing sneered, "Just wait to become foot-washing maids tonight." The people who were originally playing in the pool by themselves were drawn in by An Youqing’s earlier shout. Now, they had stopped what they were doing and swam to the side, naturally making space for them and watching the scene with amused smiles. Lu Shouyue, who was also watching from the side, noticed the dispute had spread to Lin Wanwan, and he spoke up, "Since the stakes are so high, two rounds make it hard to determine victory. Why not add another round, best of three?" An Youqing looked at Lu Shouyue, surprised that he had spoken up. But since he did, she had to give him some face. Of course, she knew Lu Shao, another shareholder of the company. "Since Lu Shao said so, let’s add another round. Everyone, go and find someone." Aside from knowing Lu Shouyue, Lin Wanwan only knew Chen Jinyu here, and she certainly couldn’t call anyone over, so she looked at Chen Jinyu and asked, "Do you have friends here?" Chen Jinyu whispered, "I do, but I don’t know how good they are at swimming." Lu Shouyue pushed himself up from the edge of the pool and sat there, speaking to Lin Wanwan, "I’ll help you call someone over." "Wait, no need to call anyone else." Lin Wanwan stopped Lu Shouyue, "It’s best of three, right? One of us competes in two rounds, isn’t that the same? What do you all think?" Rather than relying on a stranger, it’s better to trust oneself. Lin Wanwan was confident in winning the competition; her physical condition was far beyond what it used to be. Lu Shouyue looked steadily at Lin Wanwan, and from her starry eyes, he saw a determined light. He smiled, casually picking up a white towel from the beach chair, draped it over himself, and sat down to watch. "Alright, then one of us competes in two rounds." An Youqing agreed with this opinion because she was confident that in a double match, she would definitely win. Mind you, she had been part of a swimming team in her childhood, and Chen Linsuang was a retired professional from the national synchronized swimming team. People who have spent years in water couldn’t possibly lose to these two, right? Chen Linsuang had never seen Lu Shouyue and naturally didn’t recognize him, but she had a feeling he was not an average person. She whispered to An Youqing, "Who is that handsome guy?" "One of our company’s shareholders, but doesn’t manage things." "Oh, if he doesn’t manage things, then he can’t affect you." An Youqing’s face didn’t look good. Although he didn’t manage things, he was close friends with the big boss. But... never mind, the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. Regardless of Lu Shouyue’s intentions, they had no choice but to compete. She didn’t want to lose, otherwise, how could she hold her face here? She looked at Lin Wanwan and then at Chen Jinyu, guessing whom Lu Shouyue was helping among them. It shouldn’t be Chen Jinyu, right? If she could get in touch with Lu Shouyue, how could she be so low-key? On the other hand, the other one looks quite attractive; there’s a slight possibility. After all, most men are visual creatures. She really disliked Chen Jinyu, not because she was a parachute trainee, but because of how she seemed to be good at everything, with charm as though anyone would like her; it was too fake. She would rather see someone with blatant desires on their face than someone like Chen Jinyu, who was pure on the surface but cunning inside like a green tea. Everyone is a competitor vying for resources, who are you playing sisterly affection games with, isn’t it ridiculous? This contest, which started as a playful match, became the focus of attention as more onlookers gathered. The pool spectators had already come ashore, leaving space for the competition. Whoever wins, it’s definitely going to be an exciting event. Chen Jinyu, draped in a towel, whispered to Lin Wanwan, "Wanwan, how is your swimming?"

How about we use the Tian Ji racing strategy? Seeing the person An Youqing called over, from her dive and the entourage’s reaction, she’s probably strong, so let me compete against her. You face An Youqing, that way we can ensure at least one win and one loss. How about it?" "Alright, let’s do as you say." Lin Wanwan, though confident in her current physical condition and felt she could dominate, didn’t object since Chen Jinyu had said it. After all, it wasn’t a big deal. Soon, the competition began, with many people drawn by the excitement rushing over to watch, quickly crowding the pool’s edge. People watching the drama is always a favorite for Huaxia, and nothing can stop them from enjoying a spectacle. Wang Bocheng was also drawn by the commotion, sitting next to Lu Shouyue and asking, "What’s going on? What’s happening here?" Lu Shouyue didn’t answer him, but the people nearby eagerly explained the competition and the wager. Wang Bocheng chuckled, "Ha, how did they get into a battle?" The first round featured Chen Linsuang and Chen Jinyu, and they exchanged glances without any trash talk. A social media enthusiast who loved joining the buzz took on the role of referee. With the sound of a whistle, the two jumped into the water, and just with a sprint, the gap became evident as Chen Linsuang visibly pulled away from Chen Jinyu in the water. After swimming the fifty-meter length, both were slightly panting, the winner not overly joyful, and the loser not too dejected, as they were prepared for this outcome. "Wanwan, she’s really strong. I didn’t expect to fall behind her this much. It’s up to you now; you have to do your best." Chen Jinyu was still quite worried, having anticipated the opponent’s strength but not this much. Lin Wanwan nodded and stood before the pool. An Youqing, who had already walked over, tilted her head, looking at Lin Wanwan, and asked, "Are you here with Lu Shao?" "Is it any of your business?" Lin Wanwan ignored her, continuing her preparation. "Hmph! Don’t be so full of yourself. Even if you’re Lu Shao’s companion, so what? Look at how many beautiful influencers are here. Which one wasn’t invited by Wang Shao? You people are just another dish in their eyes, don’t take yourself too seriously." Lin Wanwan indifferently said, "You talk too much." Even though An Youqing was snubbed, she wasn’t angry, instead saying, "Don’t think just because you have some looks you can dream big. Noble families always stress matching ranks." Lin Wanwan didn’t respond, pressing her ear slightly, ignored An Youqing, and directly gestured to the referee in the middle of the pool crowded with people that she was ready. Seeing Lin Wanwan ignoring herself, An Youqing quietly rolled her eyes and prepared herself too. "I’m ready too." The whistle sounded, and the two beauties entered the water, their diving postures elegant, like two mermaids.
