What he said was true. You can't learn to swim without swallowing a few bellyfuls of water, unless you're exceptionally talented.
"Really?" Jiang Ziyan asked, only half-believing him.
"Of course. If you don't believe me, go ask your Sister Yiren and see if I lied."
That convinced her.
"Want to go again?" Sun Dasheng asked.
She wasn't the type to give up. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Let's go!"
He had to give her credit; she was making him see her in a new light. She wasn't just some delicate little thing.
After several more tries, Jiang Ziyan actually learned to swim. Though it was only the most basic doggy paddle and she couldn't go far, she was still jumping for joy. She even called out to Xiang Yiren to show off the results of her training.
From across the pool, Xiang Yiren gave her a thumbs-up before continuing to coach Lu Qingyun.
