Chapter 2007: Seduced

Tang Wu brushed away the long hair by her cheek and blinked at Lan Yue.

But very soon, he looked away.

He tilted his head slightly and looked behind Tang Wu.

A girl’s bold voice trailed from behind. “Come on, Ah Yue!”

Tang Wu turned around. A girl about the same age as Lan Yue was wearing the same exercise outfit as him. She raised her hand and waved at him.

Tang Wu quickly turned back to look at Lan Yue.

He nodded at the girl behind her.

He had ignored her!

Tang Wu pursed her beautiful red lips and said to Bo Cixue, “Do I not look too good today?”

Because she was only here to watch the competition, she had not dressed up carefully.

She had only used the foundation and applied lipstick.

Bo Cixue looked at Tang Wu, who was beautiful even without makeup and poked her forehead. “Everyone has the right to say this, but you’re not!”

She was beautiful, ostentatious, and charming like a blooming rose. She had a slender waist and long legs. Who wouldn’t be attracted by her if she sat there?

Bo Cixue knew what Tang Wu was thinking. Lan Yue had ignored her just now!

“Did you fall for him?” Bo Cixue asked softly.

Tang Wu grabbed Bo Cixue’s shoulder, an ambiguous smile on her face. “It felt good to kiss him that time. What else can I do?”

Bo Cixue could not bear to look at Tang Wu.

“You’re hopeless.”

The smile on Tang Wu’s lips deepened. “Life is short. So what if he meets someone he’s interested in and falls in love? Besides, he has experienced Chu Li. I don’t think he will give his heart to any woman again.”

Bo Cixue glanced at Lan Yue, who was wearing his goggles. His handsome and clean face was cold and she could not see any nervousness or panic.

It should be his first time participating in such a competition, but he looked quite relaxed and casual.

The competition started very quickly.

Cheers and shouts came like waves.

Tang Wu’s gaze landed on the tall boy in the fifth lane.

He jumped into the water like a flying fish, his long and strong arms moving nonstop.

Tang Wu had forgotten about the girl she had ignored earlier. She clenched her hands into fists and kept cheering for him.

Bo Cixue and An Ni shouted with Tang Wu.

Watching such a competition made people’s blood boil.

At first, Lan Yue was still third, but at the last 200 meters, he started to speed up. Especially at the last 50 meters, he rushed forward and soon put some distance between the person behind him.

“Oh my god, that person’s endurance and explosive strength is so strong!”

“Who is that? I’ve never heard of his name before. He actually left Li Yang, who was first in the previous World Championship, behind.”

“He is a genius!”

As expected, Lan Yue was the first to reach the finishing line.

He took off his goggles, his slender fingers wiping the water droplets on his handsome face.

His dark eyes looked at the results.

He had broken a record.

The girl behind Tang Wu had shouted until her throat was almost hoarse, but the boy who saw the results was still calm.

He raised his hand and waved at the audience and team members who were cheering for him. With a push of his hands, he jumped out of the pool.

The crowd cheered again.

That very day, he was on the trending list.

Everyone on Weibo was discussing what kind of treasure this boy was. When they saw his competition video, their blood boiled and they were also smitten by his looks and figure.

Tang Wu returned to the company and her partner was looking at Weibo.

“This young man is not bad. When he retires, he can enter the entertainment industry.”

However, Tang Wu was a little unhappy.

It was like a treasure that originally belonged to her alone had been discovered by the public and had to be shared with others.

“Wu’er, you have a business trip tomorrow morning. Go home and rest.”

Tang Wu widened her eyes. “What? I’m going on a business trip tomorrow?”

The partner glared at Tang Wu. “Did you forget about your business trip?”

Tang Wu was still thinking about watching the 400-meter swim finals tomorrow night!

“It’s a special effects team from abroad. They’re difficult to deal with. Since your English is good, you’re the only one who can settle it.” The partner cut off Tang Wu’s thoughts of asking someone else to go instead.

Tang Wu was a little dejected.

…

The next day, Tang Wu went on a business trip and could not go to the venue. She asked An Ni to record a video and send it to her phone.

Without a doubt, Lan Yue was the 400-meter national champion.

This person was really a genius.

Tang Wu had been away for nearly half a month. When she returned, the competition was long over.

Lan Yue had won four gold medals in the national competition this time. After this battle, he quickly became famous in the domestic swimming industry.

He was on the trending list and became an sportsman that was more popular than celebrities.

All kinds of endorsements, variety shows, and interviews were looking for him.

But he rejected everything outside and was not arrogant at all. He continued to train and live a low-key life, preparing for the World Championship.

The era of the internet was like this. He was too low-key and after a while, there was new news and people gradually forgot about him and were attracted by new things.

When Tang Wu returned from her business trip, there was no news about Lan Yue on Weibo.

Instead, An Ni sent her a message. “It’s Dingyan’s birthday tonight. He’s having a gathering at the KTV. I heard that he’ll call a few good friends over, including that Brother Lan you support. Do you want to come?”

Dingyan was An Ni’s childhood friend. The two of them had feelings for each other and were only short of being together officially.

Tang Wu replied, “Of course.”

After a while, An Ni sent her the address.

Tang Wu went home and caught up on her sleep.

She woke up to put on a facial mask and change her clothes.

An Ni was waiting for Tang Wu at the entrance of the KTV. She was dumbfounded when she saw the woman with fiery red lips, a knee-length red coat, wavy skin, and black boots.

“Oh my god, Wuwu, are you going to a beauty pageant?” An Ni knew Tang Wu through Bo Cixue. An Ni was carefree and had seen her many times. After knowing Tang Wu, she called her Wuwu along with Bo Cixue.

A smile appeared on Tang Wu’s exquisite and beautiful face. “I’m not participating in the beauty pageant. I’ll go and charm men.”

“I’m going to be smitten by you, let alone a man.”

An Ni brought Tang Wu into the room.

The people who came were all sportsmen. The large room was almost full of people.

An Ni brought Tang Wu to meet her friend, Ma Dingyan. Dingyan told Tang Wu not to be polite and to have fun.

Tang Wu glanced around the room but did not see Lan Yue.

An Ni took Tang Wu to sit down and leaned into her ear. “Dingyan said that your Brother Lan’s training got delayed tonight. He might arrive in half an hour.”

Tang Wu nodded. “Go and accompany your friend. You don’t have to accompany me here.”

An Ni poured wine for Tang Wu and ran to Dingyan with a smile.

Tang Wu sent a message to Bo Cixue and Nan Xun in the WeChat group.

After a while, she felt someone sitting beside her and she looked sideways.

It was a handsome young man with a frivolous look in his eyes, as if he was quite confident in his own appearance and charm.

“Hi, I’m Xiang Yingjie. I was the champion of the national swimming competition in the 50-meter breaststroke. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
