75: Chapter 75 Clothes Tear Off

Chu Xue'er smiled as she glanced at Bai Yiyi, letting out a soft chuckle.

Bai Yiyi's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, burning hot.

She quickly composed herself.

And just like that, the two mermaids plopped into the water and dove beneath the surface.

Su Xue'er felt a bit awkward that her arrival had made the two beauties leave in embarrassment.

She offered the two women an apologetic smile.

However, she hadn't forgotten what she needed to ask next.

After mentally preparing herself, she quickly thought about how to phrase her questions in her mind.

And then suddenly...

Su Xue'er forgot that this was a swimming venue, where the ground was covered in water and extremely slippery!

Especially around the edge of the swimming pool, which was the worst area!

Su Xue'er had been thinking too deeply and didn't notice how slippery her footing was. She suddenly cried out and was about to fall backward.

Ahhh!

Su Xue'er was terrified.

At this rate, bruising her backside would be the least of her worries!

If her head hit the ground, it would be disastrous.

The production crew members all felt their hearts clench.

If anything happened to Su Xue'er, everyone involved would probably be disbanded shortly after.

The people in the swimming hall who noticed the scene all gasped.

The boys turned paler than the last, and the girls' screams were louder than before.

At that moment, Su Xue'er only wanted to quickly grab onto anything nearby, but she knew it would be futile.

And then suddenly!

A figure quickly appeared.

It was Lin Heng!

The moment Su Xue'er was in trouble, he rushed over.

Su Xue'er acted as if she had spotted a life-saving straw, frantically trying to grab onto Lin Heng.

And then suddenly...

With a ripping sound.

Lin Heng's clothes were torn open with a large slit, but it didn't stop Su Xue'er's descent.

However, Su Xue'er soon felt a pair of strong arms.

Their eyes met.

Su Xue'er's heart fluttered like a trapped deer; she had never been this nervous before.

Heavens!

Everyone exclaimed.

They never expected a dramatic, idol-drama moment to happen right in front of them!

"Holy crap! That's too sweet!!"

"So sickeningly sweet! So, so sweet!"

"I'll pay a hundred bucks to instantly become Su Xue'er."

"Ahhh!!!"

"I knew there would be a surprise in the live stream, and sure enough!"

...

Afterward, it goes without saying that Su Xue'er was quickly caught.

Lin Heng supported her steadily with just one hand.

But at this moment, Lin Heng's clothes had become the sacrifice.

Lin Heng looked down and sighed softly.

Sigh... I guess twenty-dollar bargain-bin clothes just aren't good enough.

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Hiss...!"

Su Xue'er was about to apologize, but when she looked up, she immediately met Lin Heng's physique revealed by his ripped shirt.

She couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

Beneath the smooth, even skin were countless scars, large and small...!

The surrounding male and female students gasped and stared, dumbfounded.

What kind of decent person has a body covered in scars?

Even soldiers didn't have that many scars on them!

What kind of life must he have lived to possess such 'medals'?

The surrounding noise quieted down instantly.

They observed more closely, afraid to miss a single detail.

The most conspicuous was a three-pronged scratch mark on Lin Heng's chest, running from his left shoulder all the way down to his lower right abdomen.

It probably wasn't from some savage beast, as the neat incision clearly indicated a product of modern craftsmanship.

Next were several wounds on his abdomen resembling puncture wounds. They had healed significantly, leaving only a scar that looked like it was from an appendectomy.

However, no one present would believe it was from an appendicitis.

And then there was his broad back.

Not to mention that.

It looked as if he had endured a hail of bullets; there was very little intact skin.

Except for his face, this guy's entire body was covered in a man's 'medals'!

Everyone present, regardless of gender, fell silent.

They had no idea what Lin Heng had experienced to accumulate so many scars.

"Does... does that hurt?"

Just looking at them made Su Xue'er hurt, let alone touching them.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt now."

Lin Heng's attitude toward these scars was extremely casual.

He glanced at the swimming pool.

Since his clothes were already ripped, Lin Heng didn't care anymore. He quickly dove headfirst into the pool.

After taking a deep breath, he began to swim forward.

Splash, splash...

His stroke wasn't exactly textbook perfect, but it was extremely efficient.

In just over a minute, he had already completed a lap!

The swimming coach glanced at the score on the automatic timer.

One minute and forty-two seconds!

This was a full eleven seconds faster than the world record of one minute and fifty-three seconds!

He broke it!

He broke the world record!

The swimming coach also took a deep breath, nearly suffocating.

He had spent his entire life swimming and never won a single medal, yet Lin Heng casually broke a record with one simple action!

Was this really the Lin Heng who usually just guarded the students' locker area?

The swimming coach had thought this kid couldn't swim!

He never expected Lin Heng to be hiding his abilities so deeply!

He was starting to suspect that Lin Heng had done it on purpose.

The swimming coach quickly walked over.

"Lin Heng, I know you. I wonder if you're interested in becoming a member of the National Team?"

"With your addition, I believe we can definitely push that swimming record higher on the world stage. You will surely dominate the swimming events then!"

He said this excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng waved his hand dismissively.

"No need. I prefer freedom; I don't want to chase fame and fortune. Forget it."

This...

The swimming coach was stunned.

Someone actually refused a gold medal opportunity?

This was a great chance to bring glory to the country!

He wanted to say more, but the decisive Lin Heng had already walked far away.

At this time, Su Xue'er bought a jacket for Lin Heng to wear as an apology.

"I'm sorry about earlier; it was my fault. Please accept this jacket as compensation."

"No need..."

"Whether I want your money or not, I ruined it, so naturally, I should compensate you..."

"Alright then, I won't refuse!"

"Mmm, not bad, it fits well. You really have good taste in clothes."

Su Xue'er hadn't even finished speaking when a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Heng's face.

This made the people present and the audience in the live stream twitch their mouths.

"Good grief... He clearly wanted it himself, but he made it seem like Su Xue'er insisted on giving it to him. Is this playing hard to get? I think I get it now. No wonder he's someone who studies the Thirty-Six Stratagems!"

"Playing hard to get my foot! He's purely too stingy to spend money!"
