"Chi Yanchen!"
Following Shu Qiaoqiao's shout, Chi Yanchen jumped into the water. He stretched out his arms, kicked off his long legs, and swam several kilometers back and forth in the blink of an eye.
The vigorous swimming style of Rulong's diving attracted whistles and applause.
Ye Mingqian was lying lazily on the beach chair wearing sunglasses. She had just drank half a glass of cocktail and was half-squinting to enjoy it. Bai Geshen took off her glasses and said, "Look at the handsome guy. It's free to see more."
She sighed, she wanted to see this handsome guy but couldn't look at him more.
But obviously Chi Yanchen didn't think so. He broke his water and stopped in front of the two of them. Water droplets slid down his face and landed on his collarbone. The water vapor atomized his facial features, making Ye Mingqian think for a moment that he was seeing the West. Poseidon, god of the sea.
The man's eyes turned towards her, and Ye Mingqian was so panicked that she immediately turned away, not daring to look any further.
Chi Yanchen smiled slightly, raised his chin and looked at Ye Mingqian provocatively, "Compare?"
"Wow, I watched the game."
Gu Erya, who was not far away, immediately ran over and applauded exaggeratedly.
"Fight, fight."
The people around him also started cheering, and their voices became louder and louder.
Ye Mingqian looked around at a circle of excited young people. They were all young men with money and leisure. They were the target group of their future lovers.
"Chi Yanchen, you can really give me problems."
She scoffed and slowly stood up.
"Wait a minute."
Bai Ge suddenly spoke. She leaned on the table, still holding a wine glass in her hand, and said casually to Chi Yanchen: "How can we calculate winning or losing when the height and physical differences between men and women are right in front of us?"
Chi Yanchen shook the water from his hair and said, "Whatever you want."
"You have five rounds and I have three rounds." Ye Mingqian pointed to the swimming pool, "If I don't catch up with your fifth round finish line in the third round, I lose."
"Okay." Chi Yanchen thought for a while and then added: "If I don't pass you in the fifth round, it counts as my loss."
"Whatever you want." Ye Mingqian stretched his hands and feet to warm up and quickly entered the water and swam to the starting platform.
The circle of twos and threes stopped to boo when they saw the movement of the two people, and slowly gathered on both sides of the bank.
"I bet Achen will win." Gu Erya took out her mobile phone to start the game regardless of whether Xiaochi Yanchen was alive or dead. "If you want to place a bet, hurry up. If you win against Chi Shao, you will pay two to one, and if you win against Miss Ye, you will pay ten to one."
The betting was lively below, with Ye Mingqian and Chi Yanchen standing on the stage and watching with cold eyes.
"Where are you singing?" she asked the man next to her.
"I don't like you."
Ye Mingqian was stunned.
"Now let's make a little fuss. I will sit down quietly at night. They..." Chi Yanchen pointed to the group of young men and women below who were betting, "They will think that although I see you, the future Huo who is going to marry into the Huo family, You may not like it, madam, but the Huo family will still support you in the face of big disasters, otherwise no one will pay for Aishang tonight."
He glanced at the unconvinced Ye Mingqian and continued in a cold voice: "This is reality."
Chi Yanchen was speechless. She lowered her eyelids and agreed with his statement.
"preparation."
Gu Erya, who was pushed out as a temporary referee, raised a hand in a dignified manner, then quickly waved it down, "Charge!"
Plop.
Two figures entered the water at the same time.
The swimming lane is only two thousand meters long. For Chi Yanchen, who is tall and has slender hands and feet, he can touch the pool wall in the blink of an eye. Ye Mingqian caught up with him as soon as he turned around.
Although she was not as fast as Chi Yanchen, her advantage was that she had a strong acceleration burst and she could hold her breath for a long time while diving, which reduced the time for breathing. The two of them swam on par.
"Come on, Ye Mingqian, come on!"
Bai Ge becomes a cheerleader regardless of her status.
"Brother Chen is great. Brother Chen is the best." Shu Qiaoqiao is not far behind.
The two people in the water turned a deaf ear to the sounds from the shore and continued to rise and breathe faster.
In the third round of the finals, Ye Mingqian gradually felt exhausted and ventilated more frequently because of the soreness in his arms.
She lost.
Ye Mingqian, who originally thought this was the ending, found a dark shadow in front of her when she took another breath. When she finished swimming, she realized that Chi Yanchen had stopped halfway and stopped swimming.
"Cramp in the foot."
He stopped one or two meters away from Ye Mingqian and raised his eyebrows, "You win."
"Ah ah ah, Achen, please let go."
Gu Erya, who had pressed the wrong treasure, screamed angrily, jumped into the water, hugged Chi Yanchen and shook her violently.
Shu Qiaoqiao felt distressed and slapped and screamed at the crazy Gu Erya.
Bai Ge thoughtfully helped Ye Mingqian put on the bath towel, smiling like a thief.
Chi Yanchen couldn't help laughing, "How much did you bet?"
"Just asking for a lucky draw. I didn't expect you to win. I'll buy you the coffee today."
"Thank you, I still prefer milk tea." Ye Mingqian wrapped herself in a bath towel and dried her hair. She glanced at the three people who were still fighting, hid the emotions in her eyes and left with Bai Ge.
"Go away and stop looking."
Gu Erya put one hand around Chi Yanchen's neck and waved the other hand in front of the other person's eyes, "Even if you don't deal with your little mother, you don't have to think of ways to make her lose face in front of others. This is good. I'll make a fool of myself."
"Go away."
Chi Yanchen pushed the sound away and kept making noises.
"Where are you going, aren't you waiting for Qiaoqiao? She's going to change clothes and she'll be right back."
"Drink." Chi Yanchen turned around and glared at Gu Erya, who was about to follow, "Go and have fun by yourself, don't bother me."
The heroes of the game all left one after another, leaving the others behind to whisper.
"Who was the beautiful woman who competed with Mr. Chi just now? The one who came with Bai Ge couldn't be a newly signed artist from their company, right?"
"I don't know. I also saw Shu Qiaoqiao talking to people in a nice manner. How can ordinary people be treated like this?"
"I have an impression. I met her last time at Mingyue on the Sea. She seems to be Mr. Huo Jili's unmarried fiancée."
"What's your name? It seems to be Ye Mingqian!"
Ye Mingqian himself did not hear these discussions, and even if he did, he would just smile and ignore them.
As night approached, she and Bai Ge went back to the lounge to do their makeup.
He Biqing also came up to ask her for instructions. Everything was arranged. As soon as the time came, the party could start.
"As long as everything is confirmed, I can rest assured that Minister He will do his job." Ye Mingqian sat in front of the dressing table and let the hairstylist apply hairspray to her hair. Her face was as beautiful as the makeup.
A woman's makeup is tedious and long, so why bother sitting down for a while and then running away, leaving Wu Xinxin running around helping the makeup artist never know how tired she is.
I occasionally chatted with Wu Xinxin, and the time quickly approached eight o'clock.
After finally finishing all the makeup, Ye Mingqian stretched from her delicate hair to her toes in two and a half hours, and then put her body into the dress.
The skirt was hand-picked by her. It was a dark blue evening dress that looked like the ocean. The bodice was decorated with diamonds, and the skirt was gradually embroidered with sea ripples. Because it was made of silk, it shimmered when she walked.
When Ye Mingqian finished wearing it, he put the starry sky and sea on his body.
"It's so beautiful."
Even though the makeup artist is well-informed, he has to admire it.
"Yes, yes." Wu Xinxin held her own face and nodded fiercely with eyes full of stars.
"This is the effect we want." Ye Mingqian held up the hem of her skirt and turned it around twice with great satisfaction. She carefully selected the clothes from a pile of manuscripts and made them in a hurry, just to amaze everyone on this day.
