Chapter 197 - Not if no one finds out!

"Not if no one finds out! I know how we can sneak past the guards!" Little Fan Wushuang then got down from the bed and took out a small torchlight that she hid under her bed. She then shone it on Little Wu Yuexue and whispered excitedly, "We just got some new swimsuits! I've been waiting for today to try it!"

Little Wu Yuexue quickly put on her slippers and followed behind Little Fan Wushuang, and they went to Little Han Ye's room, giving him quite a scare, especially when Little Fan Wushuang woke him up by shining torchlight up her face and whispering, "Your nightmare is here...", in a creepy voice. 

Good thing that Little Wu Yuexue covered Little Han Ye's mouth before he could scream out loud and whispered, "It's us! Don't be scared!" 

After explaining the situation to him, Little Fan Wushuang led them to the hospital while avoiding all the night guards and security cameras. 

When they got to the swimming pool and after they changed, Little Han Ye remarked while they were warming up, "I'm surprised they don't have cameras here." 

Little Fan Wushuang shrugged. "I asked Daddy before and he said that it's because he and Mummy would occasionally come here, and they don't want to be seen..." 

She then grinned. "I think they are making babies here..."

"Come on! We are about to swim inside!" Little Wu Yuexue frowned as she looked at the swimming pool. 

"It's fine. They just changed the water yesterday, so it's clean..." Little Fan Wushuang smirked as she wriggled her eyebrows mischievously. She then folded her arms as she glanced at Little Han Ye's prepubescent body. 

"Han Ye, I don't think you'd be able to grow chest hair at all," Little Fan Wushuang said as she stood before Han Ye with a mischievous expression. She poked his chest and sneered, "You have a chest like us!" 

"That's cause I haven't hit puberty yet." Little Han Ye frowned as he crossed his arms over his chest. "They would grow once I'm older!" 

"Nuh uh!" 

"It will!" 

"No way!" Little Fan Wushuang said while nodding with a serious expression. "You'll forever look like us!" 

In her mind, she thought, "Then you'll forever be our friends..."  

"Stop fighting, guys," Little Wu Yuexue groaned with an exasperated expression. She then looked at Little Fan Wushuang and asked, "Are you absolutely sure it's ok for us to take a night swim? Won't your dad be angry?" 

"Nah," Little Fan Wushuang said as she waved her hand around nonchalantly. "Dad would never get angry at me. And he wouldn't get angry with you guys either. He would know that I'm the one who instigated this. Anyway, if he wanted to punish me, at most, he would just keep this place under lockdown, which is fine, since there's another pool outside."

The moment she finished speaking, she ran toward the pool and jumped in.

Splash!

The water splashed out and some of it sprayed onto Little Wu Yuexue and Little Han Ye. 

"Come, Han Ye!" Little Wu Yuexue said with a bright smile before jumping into the pool as well. 

Little Han Ye merely stood at the side as he looked at the pool of water while the two girls swam around expertly. He had never swum before. For some unknown reason, whenever he looked at a deep pool of water, he would be scared. 

"Come on, you coward! It's just a pool!" Little Fan Wushuang yelled as she tried to reach out and grab his foot.

Little Han Ye managed to step aside quickly before she could catch him. "I think... I'll skip out on this. I'm not feeling that well..."

"Oh, come on!" Little Fan Wushuang rolled her eyes at him. "It's not that deep!" 

"Leave him be, Wushuang," Little Wu Yuexue said when she noticed Little Han Ye's stressed face. She took Little Fan Wushuang's hand and continued, "He'd join us when he feels like it. Come, play with me! I've never swum at night before! This feels so great!"

They swam to one end of the Olympic-length swimming pool and raced each other to the end, with Little Han Ye sitting by the side as he cheered for both of them. When Little Fan Wushuang lost, she pouted and swam to a corner by herself. 

"Is she alright?" Little Han Ye asked Little Wu Yuexue who had swum over to where he was sitting and soaking his feet. 

"She'll be fine. Every time she lost a game, she would pout for a while. After that, she would challenge me again..." Little Wu Yuexue smiled. "Are you sure you don't want to join us? They should have some floaties here, I think."

Little Han Ye made an X with his hands and said in a soft voice, "If I used them, she would never let me hear the end of it. Don't worry about me. I'm not really in the mood to swim tonight. I'm just here to make sure that she doesn't cause any danger to you or to herself."

Little Wu Yuexue nodded.  She then swam on her back as she looked at the sky through the translucent ceiling. The brightness of the moon and stars shone down upon the three of them as they chatted while swimming around leisurely.

That night, Little Wu Yuexue had the time of her life. She had a swimming pool back at her house as well, but it was not as huge or as beautiful as the one here. And her parents were a lot stricter than Little Fan Wushuang's parents. Which was why she preferred to hang out with the younger girl. 

After about an hour, Little Wu Yuexue could not help but yawn three times in succession. "I can't swim anymore... I'm really sleepy."

"Aww, just a bit longer!" Little Fan Wushuang looked at Little Wu Yuexue with her bright eyes wide open. There was barely any hint of tiredness in them. "Just a bit longer, pleasssseeee~" 

"You can swim for a while longer," Little Wu Yuexue said as she climbed out of the pool. As she wiped herself down with a dry towel, she added, "I'll go take a shower first. Han Ye, don't let her swim for too long... Just another 5 minutes at most."

Little Han Ye nodded. After Little Wu Yuexue left, he put on his shirt and sat on one of the lounge chairs as he watched over Little Fan Wushuang who was still swimming around in the pool. Occasionally, he would look at the wall clock near the door, and when it showed that it had been five minutes, Little Han Ye turned back to the pool.

However, he could not see her. 

"Wushuang?" he called out. "Stop playing! It's time to go shower!" 

Suddenly, he saw her... struggling to swim as she cried, "S-save me!" 

Her arms were hitting down on the water, hard, as if she was trying her best to keep afloat. 

"Wushuang!" Little Han Ye called out worriedly. He was unsure whether this was a prank or a genuine call for help. "Wushuang!" he called out again when he saw that she kept sinking down into the pool and coming back up. His legs started to move toward the other side.  

"Han Ye!" Little Fan Wushuang cried before her body sunk into the pool.

Little Han Ye looked around, but Little Wu Yuexue was not out yet, and he was unsure whether he should leave Little Fan Wushuang alone at this state. In his panic, he ran over to the side closest to her and jumped in without thinking of the consequences.
