352: Public swimming pools in Yishun

“Okay, brother, I’m done drinking this.”

Shen Jiaxuan smiled and slurped down the coconut water, then threw the coconut into a nearby trash can.

Siloso Beach managed to stay so clean thanks to the Singaporean government’s fines for littering and mandatory street cleaning services.

Various enforced regulations also reflected Western freedom, which Singapore tirelessly pursued.

“Brother, let’s go, we’re heading back.”

With a slight skip in her step, Shen Jiaxuan swayed her fishtail skirt and led the way.

Her tall figure and charming, smiling face exuded a youthful charm.

Because Li Qinghe’s car was parked at the Cable Car HarbourFront Station.

So, the two of them had to take the cable car back there to get the car.

From HarbourFront Centre to Shen Jiaxuan’s home in Yishun District, it basically spanned the entire island of Singapore.

The distance wasn’t too far, nearly an hour.

For Li Qinghe, this distance was barely noticeable.

But for Shen Jiaxuan, this was her first time riding in a car for so long; it was practically a long journey.

Yishun District, as one of Singapore’s major residential areas in the north, was once considered a dangerous place by Singaporeans.

Cases of cat abuse, stabbings, and disappearances had occurred there.

After being reported by the media, the entire Yishun District was demonized.

However, in reality, Yishun District is one of the areas with the lowest cost of living in all of Singapore.

The Good public security, suitable for living, and the previous cases were accidental.

Now, Yishun District has become a very popular residential area for Singaporeans due to its high cost-effectiveness, complete facilities, and significantly rising housing price potential.

A former president of Singapore once lived here for 30 years, but which president was it?

Singapore's president is, of course, of Indian descent.

A total of 220,000 residents live in Yishun District.

Therefore, the infrastructure built for these 220,000 residents is very complete.

It's just that Singapore's HDB policy was implemented relatively early, so there aren't too many new residential complexes in Yishun District; most of the others are decades-old buildings, about ten stories high.

This type of old building is ubiquitous throughout Yishun District.

Shen Jiaxuan had originally planned to go home to get her swimsuit and goggles, but Li Qinghe didn't have anything, so he directly bought swimsuits, goggles, and swim caps for both of them at a store.

Shen Jiaxuan had originally intended to pay herself, but she couldn't out-argue Li Qinghe, and in the end, she chose a very cute one-piece shark suit.

The public swimming pool near her home was quite large, and because it was a weekday, there weren't many people in the pool when they arrived.

The fee for this swimming pool was not expensive, 1.5 singapore dollar per person, plus 0.4 singapore dollar for a locker.

The total for both of them was less than 4 singapore dollar.

According to Shen Jiaxuan, the fees for public swimming pools across Singapore are similar.

Of course, an infinity pool like the one on top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel would be a different price.

But for Li Qinghe, such public swimming pools had more of a sense of life.

Life is like this: when you have too little, everything you currently possess won't make you feel satisfied; you only want to have more and better living environments and conditions.

But when you have more and better living conditions, and then look back at that ordinary life, you will find yourself becoming more tolerant and patient.

This is the influence of one's psychological position on life.

So, Li Qinghe followed Shen Jiaxuan, queuing up like an ordinary person to buy tickets and enter the swimming pool.

The men's and women's changing rooms were on opposite sides, and they had to change into their swim trunks before appearing by the pool.

Li Qinghe changed very quickly and was sitting by the pool early.

After a while, Shen Jiaxuan came out, having changed into her swimsuit.

This girl, wearing a one-piece swimsuit and a swimming cap, gave Li Qinghe a completely different feeling.

Shen Jiaxuan

His first reaction was that this girl was too slender; she needed to eat more and gain some weight.

However, that small, palm-sized face and those straight, slender, pale legs directly captured the hearts of many people.

This girl stood there gracefully, making one's first impression that she embodied youth.

“Jiaxuan, can all that hair fit into the cap?”

Li Qinghe looked at Shen Jiaxuan's long, permed hair disappearing into the swimming cap and asked her with a bit of surprise.

“Brother, my hair isn’t as much as it looks, don’t go swimming so fast, let’s play by the pool for a while first.”

There was also a small volleyball court by the pool for guests to play and relax after swimming.

Shen Jiaxuan pulled Li Qinghe to come here to play.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Shen Jiaxuan's slender white legs were quite strong; she could even jump and spike the ball over the net when playing volleyball.

She was completely unlike the delicate-looking girl he had seen before.

Although Li Qinghe had not undergone professional volleyball training.

But at least basic training was taught in sports classes during his school days, coupled with his super-enhanced body.

With left and right blocks, he played a neck-and-neck game with Shen Jiaxuan.

The reason, of course, was that Li Qinghe was holding back his strength; otherwise, a ball hit by him could cause an air explosion, and Shen Jiaxuan's small frame would be sent flying to who knows where.

“Brother, you’re amazing! You look good in photos, and you’re also very agile at playing ball.”

Shen Jiaxuan, panting, spiked another volleyball to Li Qinghe’s side, watching as Li Qinghe quickly ran over and saved the ball.

She couldn’t help but praise him in a sweet voice.

Being praised like this by the girl, Li Qinghe felt a little strange.

If she thought that was amazing, then how would she praise him if she saw his other aspects?

Seeing the volleyball tossed back by Shen Jiaxuan, Li Qinghe jumped in the air and slammed a ball over.

With a “bang,” the volleyball was slapped onto the empty space beside Shen Jiaxuan, making a loud noise.

Shen Jiaxuan was startled: “Brother, is this your true strength? It’s too strong.”

Frightened by the ball, Shen Jiaxuan immediately declared she wouldn’t play anymore.

They would enter the pool after their sweat dried a bit.

They sat by the pool for almost 20 minutes.

Shen Jiaxuan leaped into the swimming lane like a nimble mermaid.

Soon, she swam back from the other side of the pool.

She clung to the pool wall and looked at Li Qinghe: “Brother, why aren’t you swimming?”

“I only know how to doggy paddle.”

Li Qinghe said it without any embarrassment.

Back in the countryside, it didn't matter how beautiful your swimming posture was; the key was to be able to float.

Li Qinghe’s frankness did not elicit Shen Jiaxuan’s mockery.

“Brother, I’ll teach you; if you know how to doggy paddle, you’ll learn breaststroke very quickly.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiaxuan dived under the rope in the middle of the adjacent lane and came to Li Qinghe’s side.

Feeling a cool little hand on his abdomen.

Then, looking at Shen Jiaxuan, who was seriously explaining the movements beside him, Li Qinghe almost pulled her into his arms.
