Chapter 1050: Chapter 1074: Let’s Be Together 1
Shi Nuan put on her waterproof suit and goggles, completely ignoring He Huixi.
He Huixi was fuming, wanting to mock her with a few words, but the warning look from the stern-faced coach caught her eye. She had to hold back and just glared at her.
The stern-faced coach said, "Trainee Shi Nuan, if you can’t overcome this, you can leave directly. There’s no need to force yourself to get into the water. Even if you leave now, you can still be an ordinary doctor in the future."
Shi Nuan licked her lips and didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she turned to look back and saw Chu Zhan standing upright under a parasol tree not far away.
The man looked over expressionlessly, his gaze indifferent, as if he hadn’t noticed her at all.
Shi Nuan inexplicably thought of the passionate kiss underwater last night, her ears reddened, and she felt a surge of strength in her heart. She looked at the stern-faced coach and nodded firmly, "Coach, I’m ready."
"Alright, then go ahead." The stern-faced coach’s expression eased slightly, also hopeful that Shi Nuan could overcome this, after all, her abilities were among the best.
"Pretending." He Huixi grumbled unpleasantly, thinking to herself that she’d see how Shi Nuan would make a fool of herself later!
Shi Nuan walked towards the water, everyone watching her intently.
She was already nervous, and being stared at like this made her heart race even more.
Even though Chu Zhan helped her overcome the obstacle last night, she had someone with her then.
Now, she was about to face it alone, and she was a bit scared.
But there was always a warm gaze behind her, closely following her.
Nuannuan, don’t be afraid. As long as you turn back, I’ll always be behind you.
The man’s low voice seemed to come from a distant place, but it resounded like a drum in her heart. Shi Nuan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the water.
As soon as her foot touched the water, she instinctively shivered a bit, forcing herself to maintain a calm expression.
She had come this far; she couldn’t retreat. She couldn’t show even a hint of fear, she had to face the challenge. She didn’t want to disappoint Chu Zhan.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Nuan stiffened her body and hesitantly continued forward. With each step, the water level rose, first to her calves, then her thighs, and finally her waist...
Beyond that, Shi Nuan lacked the courage to take another step.
That deep-seated fear reappeared.
She became dependent, wishing Chu Zhan would jump in and hold her hand like last night.
Facing this helplessness alone was too tormenting.
Shi Nuan closed her eyes, her shoulders trembling almost imperceptibly.
It seems...
She still couldn’t do it...
At this moment, Chu Zhan’s deep voice rang out,
"Shi Nuan, you can do it!"
Shi Nuan opened her eyes and saw the man standing on the opposite bank, smiling at her.
His gaze was as gentle and patient as last night’s.
He believed in her, she could do it!
"Go Shi Nuan!"
"You can do it!"
"You’re the best!"
Other trainees followed suit with Chu Zhan’s encouragement, cheering Shi Nuan on, and this combined burst of support really gave her immense courage.
He Huixi was so enraged that her face turned green. Why was Chu Zhan helping Shi Nuan even now?
Didn’t he think Shi Nuan was useless?
The chorus of cheers was deafening, echoing in her ears.
But Shi Nuan’s heart felt grounded and especially at ease.
She returned Chu Zhan’s smile and quickly submerged underwater...
