223 Surfing Along

r, Su Xiaocan and Su Junfeng thought that if she were still inside the car, this beautiful and sexy woman would have been a tragic sight indeed.Qiao Feng'er was completely stunned. She stared blankly...Chapter 223: Walking on the Waves

"Are you telling me that I should be afraid of someone like you" Summer said dismissively, "I just don't want to get my clothes wet."

"Alright then. I have a way to compete without getting your clothes wet. Do you want to give it a try" Li Jun thought for a moment and asked.

Before Summer could respond, Liu Yunshe preempted her with, "How do you plan on doing this"

"It's very simple. We'll compete in how long we can hold our breath underwater. Whoever holds their breath longer wins, and the loser has to apologize to the other person. This way doesn't require getting into the water; just put your head under at the lakeside." Li Jun quickly explained his idea and then looked at Summer with a challenging expression, "So, are you up for it If not, admit defeat and apologize!"

"You want to compete in holding our breath underwater" Summer was puzzled as to why there would be someone who insisted on competing in an area where he was clearly outmatched.

"What are you wasting time with words for Do we compete or not If you're a man, act like one and decide quickly!" Li Jun seemed impatient.

"Hey, I'm up for it. But if you lose, you have to jump into the lake. Are you willing" Liu Meng shouted out.

"What's there to be afraid of Whoever loses has to jump in," Jiang Yun added.

"Alright then, he loses and you'll jump too, and you both will jump together while holding each other; that sounds more fun," Liu Meng thought for a moment before saying.

“Alright then, we have it settled. If Li Jun loses, I’ll jump in the lake with him.” Jiang Yun pointed at Summer and continued, "And if he loses, both of you will jump together while holding each other. How does that sound"

Ou Meng clapped her hands and said, "Great! Great! Little rascal, you'd better hurry up and compare with him. I want to see someone jumping into the lake!"

"Alright then, let's do it." In order to satisfy Ou Meng’s desire of seeing someone jump into the lake, Xia Tian finally agreed to compete with Li Jun on holding breath underwater, though he felt that this was rather unfair.

Xia Tian walked towards the lakeside together with Li Jun. Without waiting for others’ instruction, he said, "I’m starting first and you can take a few minutes."

After saying those words, Xia Tian fell onto the sand and plunged his head into the water.

Li Jun was slightly stunned before quickly following Xia Tian’s example. The so-called underwater breath-holding competition could be considered officially started.

Jiang Yun looked at Ou Meng with a bit of satisfaction, saying, "You wait and see if you are going to jump into the lake!" Not only is she prettier than me, even in the aspect that I always take pride in, her measurements are better. This made Jiang Yun feel envious.

Ou Yunying scoffed, "It’s you who will be jumping into the lake."

Jiang Yun stared at Ou Yunying blankly as if she were an idiot and said, "You’re really dumb! Don’t you know that Li Jun is a diving champion He can hold his breath underwater for over five minutes without any equipment. Do you think your brother-in-law could do the same"

"Five minutes That’s just boasting. The little rascal could easily stay under water for five hours," Ou Meng yawned.

Ou Yunying was stunned, "Auntie, is my brother-in-law really that amazing"

"Sure he is. He told me so earlier." Ou Meng nodded.

"Breathe now, and we'll soon see who's better." Jiang Yun snorted.

Five minutes passed quickly. Li Jun finally couldn't hold on anymore and suddenly lifted his head out of the water with a look of satisfaction. Just as he was about to declare victory, he was surprised to see Xia Tian still had his head submerged in the water.

"Yay! Brother-in-law, you won!" Liu Yunseng exclaimed excitedly.

Xia Tian also lifted his head and stood up, patting the sand off his body with a bored expression. "There was absolutely no challenge to this at all!"

"You, how could you hold your breath for so long" Li Jun looked at Xia Tian in disbelief; he still couldn't believe that he had lost, as he had never lost before when competing with others on underwater breath-holding!

"Hey, stop talking nonsense and hurry up to jump into the lake! I've never seen anyone do this," Liu Meng urged from behind.

"That's right. You have to accept your loss if you gamble; just jump in already!" Han Xiao and Shen Yun chimed in beside him.

"Fine, what’s the big deal about jumping into a lake I was planning on swimming anyway," Jiang Yun grumbled and walked towards the shore of the lake.

"Hey, you two should jump together!" Liu Yunseng reminded Jiang Yun.

Li Jun glanced at Xia Tian before suddenly walking over to Jiang Yun, picking her up in his arms, then with a loud cry, jumped into the lake.

"Yay!" Liu Yunseng and Han Xiao as well as Shen Yun clapped in celebration.

Ou Meng clapped her hands: "It looks fun, let's do it again!"

"If you want me to jump once more, then we should have another competition!" Li Jun was clearly unwilling to accept his defeat. He got out of the water and walked towards Xia Tian, somewhat disgruntled.

"Alright, what shall we compete in" Ou Meng answered on Xia Tian's behalf again.

Just as Li Jun was about to say something, a woman's cry for help suddenly came from the lake: "Help! Help me! Aaaah... I'm having a leg cramp!"

The crowd turned their attention towards the lake and saw someone struggling in the water, moments away from drowning.

"Let's see who can save that woman first; whoever gets her to shore first wins!" Li Jun quickly suggested.

"Okay, sure!" Xia Tian readily agreed. To make Meng Jie happy, he would rescue a person once.

Li Jun sprinted towards the lake and dived in with a powerful stroke, then swam swiftly toward the woman.

Somewhere mid-swim, Li Jun subconsciously turned his head around to find that Xia Tian wasn't following. He felt relieved at first, thinking he was still better at swimming. However, an exclamation of surprise came from behind him.

A few people exaggeratedly shouted: "How amazing!"

"This guy is really impressive; it's a good thing we didn't have that one-on-one fight earlier!"

"Damn, I've finally seen a true martial arts expert!"

Hearing these words, Li Jun couldn't help but look back once more. He immediately froze in astonishment as he saw someone running across the lake's surface at breakneck speed. In an instant, this person had already surpassed him and reached the woman crying for help. Then, with one swift motion, they grabbed her hand and turned to run again. Within just a few seconds, this person had successfully pulled the woman out of the water onto shore, and that person was none other than Xia Tian, his competition partner!

"Damn it, I'm actually competing against someone!" Li Jun completely lost all desire for competition; his opponent wasn't human at all.

Li Jun swam back to the lakeshore, carried Jiang Yun across the lake one more time, and then pulled her away without a word. He simply couldn’t bear staying in this place any longer.

Around the shore, countless people stared at Xia Tian with awe-struck eyes, as if he were a god or goddess. The man whom Xia Tian had broken his arm earlier had just gathered some people to seek revenge, but seeing him now, he quickly changed course and left. He was resigned to his bad luck; this guy was simply too powerful for him to want to endure another round of pain.

Osaka Yuzuki’s eyes sparkled with admiration. She worshiped Xia Tian to the extreme; she truly revered her brother-in-law.

Han Xiao and Shen Yun's mouths remained agape for a long time, unable to close them. They stared dumbfoundedly at Xia Tian, then pinched each other to confirm that this wasn't some kind of hallucination but an actual event that had taken place.

"Hehe, naughty guy, you’re so amazing!" Liu Meng was exceptionally delighted and threw herself onto Xia Tian to give him a warm kiss.

"Brother-in-law, Auntie, let's go over there for a rest and have some drinks," Osaka Yuzuki approached them with an enthusiastic demeanor.

"Sure! I'm feeling quite thirsty actually!" Liu Meng readily agreed. Then the group made their way to a nearby cold drink shop by the beach, ordering each person an icy beverage before finding a spot to sit down and rest while chatting.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with an artistic flair walked over. He was rather polite as he greeted Liu Meng: "Miss, my name is Huo Yan from Pioneer Entertainment Company's talent scouting department. Your appearance would be perfect for one of our new films. Are you interested in joining our company"

"Hey, you lying scumbag, get lost!" Liu Yuncheng shouted at the man who claimed to be Huo Yan.

In these days, there are many lecherous men who pretend to be talent scouts and deceive little girls dreaming of becoming stars. Liu Yuncheng often sees news about such incidents online, so she instinctively thinks this person is a fraudster.

"Miss, you've misunderstood me; I'm not lying. Huo Yan is well-known in the industry. You can ask around to confirm it; here's my business card," Huo Yan handed Liu Yuncheng a business card and patiently explained himself, "You can do an online search or ask acquaintances, but my reputation is impeccable. They even call me 'Sharp Eyes.' The girls I pick usually become big stars."

"I don't care if you're lying or not; in any case, my aunt won’t pursue a career as a star. Get lost!" Liu Yuncheng growled.

"It looks like this lady has a deep misunderstanding of our industry. If that's the case, I'll let you be," Huo Yan said helplessly and then turned to Liu Meng, handing her another business card, "Madam, please give it some thought. Our company is always on the lookout for a new female lead, and your appearance, demeanor, even your hair, are uncannily similar to our upcoming film's protagonist. I can tell you that this movie is the recently publicized Immortal of Exile. You can look it up online; if interested, give me a call."

"Oh, okay, now leave!" Liu Meng accepted the business card and casually passed it to Xia Tian before waving him away. Clearly, despite Huo Yan's lengthy speech, Liu Meng showed no interest.

"Finding an actress who hasn't acted before I wouldn’t believe that," Liu Yuncheng snorted.

Huo Yan did not refute Liu Yuncheng’s words but looked at Liu Meng with a hint of regret before leaving.

"Aunt, ignore such people; they have no good intentions!" glancing back at Huo Yan's retreating figure, Liu Yuncheng said indignantly.

"I didn't bother him in the first place. It was you who engaged with him," Liu Meng remarked.

Liu Yuncheng thought about it and realized her aunt had only spoken a few words to drive away Huo Yan, whereas she herself had said quite a bit.Daisen" The little fairy looked at Bai Xiaolei with a somewhat puzzled expression. "But your name is really nice! Little Black Little Black, hmm, it sounds quite good. If you were called Big Black, it...
