BXBX NOVEL Chapter 334 - 334: Competition
Guo Miao was wearing an ordinary black shirt, and it looked like it was very water-absorbent. If it absorbed water, it would only make her heavier and would be even more inconvenient for her to swim.
Didn’t Guo Miao know that it would be even more difficult for her to swim if her clothes absorbed water?
Lin Nian excelled at swimming. She had once won a grand prize in a high school swimming competition in Country B.
Even if Guo Miao could swim, she might not be faster than Lin Nian.
Moreover, Guo Miao had to wear clothes that were inconvenient for swimming.
Wasn’t this a sure win?
Lin Nian sneered and said, “Let’s swim from the beach to that floating target over there. Whoever gets there first wins. What do you think?”
The floating marker was the safe swimming area marked by the resort for tourists. Beyond this range, they might encounter ocean currents and be swept into the deep sea.
Guo Miao looked up at the red floating beacon. It was about 800 meters away from the shore.
She stretched her arms and ankles and walked toward the beach.
Lin Nian quickly followed.
Chen Si asked worriedly, “I’ve never seen Goddess Miao swim before. Will she lose?”
“No, she won’t.” Zhong Nian shook his head. He had seen Guo Miao shoot before. She was not a bookworm who only knew how to read.
Her motor nerves might be more developed than they thought.
“But 1 heard from Tong Yao that Lin Nian seems to be an athlete.” Lu Ning was also worried.
Guo Miao had just drunk some wine, so he wondered if it would affect her performance.
“1 believe in Goddess Miao. There is nothing in this world that she cannot do well,” Tian Yang said.
Lu Ning looked at Tian Yang in confusion.
Tian Yang’s words sounded a little strange. Lu Ning felt that his admiration for Guo Miao went beyond her imagination.
“Then, we’ll start from here.” Lin Nian threw the swimming ring that she was holding onto the ground and faced the floating marker opposite her. “From here to there, you don’t have any objections, do you?”
Lin Nian pointed at the floating beacon.
Guo Miao nodded.
“Alright.” Guo Miao turned around and waved at Zhong Nian.
Zhong Nian ran over. “What’s wrong?”
“Help us signal the start of the race,” Guo Miao said.
“Alright.” Zhong Nian nodded.
Lin Nian smiled. “Even if you ask Zhong Nian to start the race, you’ll definitely lose. Why are you so uptight? If 1 really lose, 1 won’t deny it.”
Guo Miao shrugged.
Lin Nian was indeed very arrogant. The competition had not started yet. Who knew who would win or lose?
Zhong Nian stood between them while Guo Miao and Lin Nian were ready.
“On your mark, get set, go!” Zhong Nian shouted.
The two of them quickly jumped into the water and began to swim.
Chen Si stood on her tiptoes and looked at the two people in the sea. Guo Miao and Lin Nian were swimming side by side, and there didn’t seem to be any gap between them.
“Maybe Goddess Miao will really win,” Chen Si pulled Lu Ning and said.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect Goddess Miao to be so good at swimming.” Lu Ning clenched his fists and nervously watched the two people swimming in the water.
Guo Miao’s speed was very fast, but her posture was very effortless. Her swimming speed was very uniform, and she looked very calm.
However, Lin Nian was different. Although she was a professional swimmer, she had never swum in the sea before. Although the distance was not far, the water was a challenge.
Wave after wave of swell brought about a huge resistance. Even Lin Nian felt that her physical strength was somewhat lacking.
She gritted her teeth and dove down, wanting to overtake Guo Miao.
Suddenly, a weak cry for help came from the side. It seemed to be the cry of a child.
Lin Nian ignored the voice and swam toward the finish line.
She grabbed the floating beacon and looked around, but she didn’t see Guo Miao.
Wasn’t she swimming side by side with her just now? Why did he suddenly disappear? Lin Nian was a little puzzled. Could it be that he had used up too much energy and couldn’t swim anymore?
She looked around and saw Guo Miao’s figure in the distance.
Guo Miao had already swam past the floating mark and was heading somewhere.
Guo Miao was crazy. The other side of the floating target was a forbidden area. What was she doing there?
Lin Nian stopped at the position of the floating beacon and did not continue forward.
A child was struggling in the direction that Guo Miao had gone.
Lin Nian looked at Guo Miao and hesitated..
