With Coach Xu as such an excellent role model, everyone began to feel eager to try it out.
Especially Lu Haoming and Chu Chen, these boys are still in the middle of their teenage angst, thinking they are heroes who save the world, so wakeboarding is definitely no problem for them.
The next second, Wen Tianqi raised his hand expectantly, "Director, can I be the first to try?"
Lu Haoming, who had been beaten to it, immediately regretted not raising his hand sooner.
However, when Lu Haoming thought about how Chu Chen next to him hadn't gotten it either, he felt better.
The director waved for staff to come and help Wen Tianqi put on a life jacket.
Wen Zhixin quickly stood beside her younger brother and gently encouraged him, "Don't be nervous. Remember, safety comes first, and take good care of yourself."
Wen Tianqi nodded, then straightened his back and walked towards the speedboat.
While he was changing clothes, Coach Xu on the waves had safely returned to the speedboat.
The two stood on the deck, Coach Xu began to instruct Wen Tianqi on the movements and postures after they went into the water.
"The core issue in wakeboarding is maintaining your balance. You can start by crouching down to get on, and then..."
The instruction session was rather long, causing the guests waiting in line on the beach to become increasingly bored.
"Hey, Chu Chen, do you even know how to surf?" Lu Haoming teased Chu Chen, his arms crossed in front of him.
Chu Chen did surf when he was a child, but he only knew a little about it and certainly couldn't be considered an expert.
He shook his head. "I only had a little exposure to it when I was a child."
Without hesitation, Lu Haoming patted Chu Chen on the shoulder heartily, "It's okay, buddy, I believe you can do it!"
Thus, Lu Haoming had completely forgotten his original purpose for coming here, which was to connect with Chu Chen's sister.
But thankfully he forgot, otherwise Lu Sicheng, who was far away on the other side, would have been furious with him.
However, Lu Haoming's outgoing nature didn't stop there. He quickly shifted his gaze to Xu Mengying on the other side and took the initiative to strike up a conversation. " Sister Ying, I remember you should be a trainee, right? People with a dance background might be better at this sport, after all, your balance is something else."
Xu Mengying, who inexplicably became Sister Ying, said, "... Dancing and surfing are quite different sports, and I'm not necessarily good at them."
Unexpectedly, Lu Haoming offered another reassuring remark. "It's alright, I believe in you, Sister Ying!"
Hearing this, Chu Chen, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
I think you believe anyone.
Although Xu Mengying and Chu Chen were clearly not very welcoming to Lu Haoming, Chu Yu looked at Lu Haoming with great appreciation, " Little Brother Hao is so energetic."
Lu Haoming was immediately greatly encouraged, " Sister Yu, I actually believe in you a lot too!"
Chu Yu smiled slightly and gave Lu Haoming a reassuring look.
"Then I'll try my best not to disappoint you."
Lu Haoming was instantly captivated by Chu Yu's smile. He clutched his chest in a daze, feeling the frantic pounding of his heart.
"Aaaaaaah! Chu Chen, I'm so envious of you!" Lu Haoming suddenly grabbed Chu Chen's arm and started shaking it back and forth, for no apparent reason.
Chu Chen, who was inexplicably punished. "...?"
"Your sister is so gentle, unlike my brother, who's always yelling at me and scolding me. Why didn't my parents give me a sister!"
Chu Chen was speechless. He quickly interrupted Lu Haoming's frantic shaking, glanced subtly at Chu Yu, and lowered his voice, "Some things aren't as beautiful as they seem on the surface."
Chu Yu immediately sensed something and glanced over, "What are you two talking about?"
Chu Chen reacted quickly, promptly covering Lu Haoming's mouth before he could speak, "No, he didn't say anything."
Chu Yu: "Oh, you'd better not let me find out you're talking about me behind my back."
Wen Zhixin silently moved a step to the side, clearly wanting to get away from this group of seemingly immature young people.
She looked up at the wave-making speedboat opposite her.
With the help of the coach and staff, Wen Tianqi began to try going into the sea.
A hint of anticipation flashed across Wen Zhixin's lips.
Although she has never liked Wen Tianqi, now that they are in the same boat, she definitely hopes to see him perform well.
"He's gone in! Tianqi has gone into the sea!" An Yu suddenly jumped up excitedly, pointing to the other side of the beach.
The commotion immediately drew everyone's attention, and they all looked out to sea.
However, the scene was not as beautiful as everyone imagined. Wen Tianqi had just mustered up the courage to step into the water and onto the surfboard when, in less than two seconds, he was swept away by the fierce waves.
The 1.7-meter-tall Wen Tianqi was lifted into the air like a light cotton ball, twirled in a graceful arc, and finally fell vertically into the sea.
Witnessing this, the lifeguards immediately shouted, "Protect the guests!!"
Wen Tianqi, who couldn't swim at all, was terrified after falling into the water and frantically thrashed about, shouting, "Help me! Help me! I can't swim!"
During the shouting, I choked on my breath several times.
The guests, who had initially looked forward to wakeboarding, were utterly horrified by the horrific scene.
Lu Haoming's reaction was also very intense, "Holy crap, is surfing really that scary? I watched him get swept away by the current."
Chu Chen also cautiously took a half step back, suddenly feeling a bit resistant to the wave-making speedboat in front of him.
Not long after, Wen Tianqi, who had fallen into the water, was rescued, but his clothes were soaked, his hair was messy, and he looked extremely disheveled.
