Chapter 692: Chapter 692

After Liu Zhizhong had swum for a while, he was pretty much done and feeling a bit tired.

Mainly, it was the issues with Zhao Yan and Zhao Han that had actually added some pressure to his mind, causing him a bit of irritation, so a good vent was all he needed.

He swam fast, like a white-striped fish in the waves, and Lu Yumei watching from a distance was quite excited.

This was how a young man should be! Thıs content belongs to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Of course, Lu Yumei had no idea what was on Liu Zhizhong's mind. After the food was ready, she called out, "Liu Zhizhong, your Mrs. Lu is telling you to come back for dinner!"

Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly swam toward the shore, replying, "Okay! Swimming burns a lot of calories, mom won't have to worry about me not being able to eat anymore!"

"Ha ha, you little rascal, ha ha..."

Lu Yumei was genuinely delighted and laughed heartily.

Liu Zhizhong quickly dried himself off and changed his clothes, of course doing so on the other side of a rock in the river, out of Lu Yumei's sight.

Even though he had seen Lu Yumei, he didn't want her to see him at this time!

After all, he was an honest man, and honest people should have a sense of shame.

Lu Yumei couldn't see him from the high ground of the RV campsite; she even smiled narrowly, her pretty face flushed and charming, whispering under her breath, "That little rascal is even shy about being seen!"

Soon after, Liu Zhizhong had changed into clean clothes and came back holding his dirty ones, ready to have dinner.

Lu Yumei's cooking skills were indeed excellent; the several hot and cold dishes she made for dinner were colorful, flavorful, and delicious.

As soon as Liu Zhizhong sat down, he praised her cooking, focusing on making her happy.

Lu Yumei was indeed pleased and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"No need, Mrs. Lu. It's going to rain tonight, and the water might rise violently. I'll need to move the car if it does. You can drink a little if you're in a good mood."

"Then I won't drink either. After the meal, I'd like to swim in the river for a bit!" Lu Yumei said as she distributed the bowls and chopsticks, "Come on, let's eat and talk at the same time."

Liu Zhizhong smiled and started eating, finding the food truly delicious.

"Actually, Mrs. Lu, you can swim in the river; the water quality is really good. I've checked out the depth, and under that cliff over there, it might be ten to twenty meters deep. On this side, where the two bays are, it's only seven or eight meters at the deepest. But swimming at night, safety is still something to be aware of. I wouldn't recommend it! It's safer to swim during the day."

"Don't worry. My swimming skills are also quite good. As long as I do the warm-up exercises well, I'll be fine."

"But that's not okay. Those who can swim drown, and the stubborn get killed. I came out to have fun with you; I don't want you to have any accidents..."

As Liu Zhizhong spoke, he paused to ponder, put down his chopsticks, and lit a cigarette, "So, how about this, when you swim later, I'll get in the water too, to keep you company. That way, if anything unexpected happens, I can still look after you."

Lu Yumei felt a blush rising and blurted it out without thinking.

After she spoke, she regretted it, but she couldn't say that she wanted him to, could she?

Liu Zhizhong slowly exhaled the smoke, looking earnest and coaxing, "Mrs. Lu, won't you listen to advice? I'm worried about the 'what ifs'..."

"You and your 'what ifs'... how many 'what ifs' can there be? Can't you say something auspicious? No, no! It's awkward for me to swim with you hovering nearby."

"Safety comes first..."

"No means no!" Lu Yumei threw a little tantrum, feisty as ever, "When I swim, you stay by the RV. Don't come over."

"Alright then, but I need to keep an eye on you, just in case something happens, so I can react quickly."

Lu Yumei didn't object to this and nodded, "Fine! Let's go with that!"

After dinner, Lu Yumei sipped on fruit tea while Liu Zhizhong cleared the dishes.

At this time, the silver moon hung high, and the stars were brilliantly shining, with some dense clouds gathering in the distant sky.

Lu Yumei, looking at the sky, couldn't help saying, "Hey, Zhizhong, you were right, it looks like it's going to rain!"

Liu Zhizhong smiled as he cleaned up, "The weather here is like that; I did my research before coming. But the rain won't come any time soon, probably around 12 o'clock or so!"

"Oh, you're so attentive..."

After Liu Zhizhong had nearly finished tidying up, and Lu Yumei had had her fill of fruit tea, they looked at the enticing night, the quiet valley, a truly special pleasure.

A gentle breeze stirred the river's surface, where thousands of specks of moonlight and starlight danced—it was a beautifully mesmerizing night.

Lu Yumei stood up to go inside the RV, saying she was going to change into her swimsuit and asked Liu Zhizhong to sit outside, drink fruit tea, and wait for her.

Originally, bringing a swimsuit was a given for a trip to Shennong Grand Canyon, as playing in the water was part of the fun.

When she came out after getting ready, Liu Zhizhong was dumbstruck, his eyes wide open.

She was wearing a beautiful pair of swim shorts, laced at the edges, black.

The black swimsuit had a ring that encircled her full chest, creating a harmony of top and bottom.

The black silk material made her exposed skin under the moon look as white as snow.

Her radiant shoulders, slender and delicate waist, round and perky bottom, and her long, straight legs were like those of a sculpted snow figure.

A gentle fragrant breeze wafted by, intoxicating to a man's heart.

This perfect, proud maturity, those curves, that allure—they made a man's blood boil...
