C City was hot, and once summer arrived, people wished they could hide in air-conditioned rooms twenty-four hours a day. Having a private swimming pool to cool off in was a wonderful thing.
As soon as the weather turned hot, Gu Yanqing had someone clean the pool and fill it with fresh water, then brought his wife and children over to try out their brand-new swimming pool.
The pool had been specially divided into a deep area for adults and a shallow area for children, so the two little ones could play in it.
Koukou already loved playing in water, so he was thrilled when he learned there was a swimming pool. While it was still being filled, he ran over to watch.
Although parasols had been set up beside the pool, it was still summer, and it was extremely hot outside. Under the direct sun, he started sweating even beneath the parasol.
Qiao Wanqing was afraid he would overheat, so she told him to go inside and cool off first, then come back out once it was ready.
"No," Koukou refused. "I want to watch."
"What's so interesting about filling it with water?" Qiao Wanqing did not understand children's hobbies. "You can watch from the second floor too. Be good, go inside."
As she spoke, Qiao Wanqing reached out to take his hand. Koukou twisted his body to avoid her grasp and coquettishly said in his babyish voice, "No, I want to watch from here~"
Qiao Wanqing said helplessly, "You can't even swim. Why are you so eager?"
Koukou finally pulled his attention away from the pool, looked at Qiao Wanqing, and confidently said, "I can!"
"Oh?" Qiao Wanqing was taken aback by his confidence. "Since when could you swim?"
She had never taken Koukou to a swimming pool
