"Shameless!"

The angry voice of a man rang in his ears as Qiu Jin fell into the water with a boom.

He wanted to call for help, but only gurgling sounds came from his throat. While he was dazed and bewildered, a black shadow flitted by in front of him...

As if seeing his last straw to clutch at, Qiu Jin paddled through the water and reached out to grab it. The black shadow disappeared, and a trembling pink and tender thing jumped out.

The little pink elephant — no, that is not right — the big pink elephant seemed to have never encountered such an experience before and it fell into a tremendous shock, blankly poking Qiu Jin in the face.

What is this thing? It had a ¹ feel to it. Was he hallucinating?

Qiu Jin blinked his eyes. His gaze tracked upwards along abdominal muscles and pectoral muscles...

"Go away!"

A violent voice came from above his head, and at the same time, a foot lashed out and hit him on the chest.

A dull pain passed through his body and Qiu Jin struggled anew.

"You kicked me! Why did you... gulu gulu²..."

Swimming with tremendous strength, he finally broke through the surface of the water. He shook his head, forcing himself to recover from the dizziness.

Qiu Jin was in a high‐altitude open‐air swimming pool. In such a vast place, asides from the man who had kicked him angrily, there was no one else present.

He lowered his head and looked down. There was a pair of swimming trunks in his hand.

It was not his.

He lifted his head and saw a man propping himself up at the edge of the swimming pool. The muscles in his arms swelled in a beautiful curve. With one push, he quickly propelled himself out of the swimming pool.

His smooth set of actions was perfection at its finest. The muscles in his body were endlessly captivating. The only thing that was not harmonious about the entire picture was that he was not wearing any swimming trunks.

Qiu Jin lowered his head and noticed the thin black fabric in his hands...

He had actually stolen someone's swimming trunks and he even saw the other person's little pink elephant?

"......"

This was embarrassing to the eighth level.

"Hey, you drop your thing."

Qiu Jin waved the black swimming trunks in his hands, trying to return the thing to the other party.

At almost the exact same time, the man called out in a voice with suppressed anger.

"Lu Pingyin, throw this person out!"

Qiu Jin could not accept this.

"I'm just returning your pants. Why are you throwing me out?!"

As soon as he said this, the other man's expression sank for a moment.

Soon, a young man in a suit ran over. With inconceivable strength, he caught both of Qiu Jin's hands behind his back.

Qiu Jin was stupefied. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was met with this kind of bitter experience. He immediately started to struggle.

"Who are you? Let go of me!"

The man did not speak. He only dragged him out with incredible strength.

He was also very wronged, okay? He came to this place inexplicably and suffered a beating.

"Who told him to kick me?! I didn't do it on purpose!" Qiu Jin shouted with an unyielding spirit.

It was a pity that his refutation did not do anything at all. The man did not say a word all the way. His movements were elegant and strong. And just like that, he was thrown out of the swimming pool's entrance.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Qiu Jin was still panting heavily on the ground, like a half‐dead salted fish.

What the hell is this?

Didn't he fall into the sea? But then, how did he appear in the swimming pool just now? And he also stole a man's underpants?

"Brother Qiu!"

Just then, a thin young man rushed over.

He was carrying two backpacks on his body. There was a coat draped over his arms, and a big bath towel stuffed against his chest. He looked like a walking coat rack.
