Chapter 40 Enlightenment
Underwater training, as the name suggests, is to let people exercise underwater. At first glance, it seems a bit similar to Yang Guo's sword practice in the waves of "The Return of the Condor Hero". In fact, it also utilizes water's characteristics of increasing resistance and protecting the body to train strength. Many athletes around the world use this method for training, such as that tall Chinese basketball star who plays in the NBA.
O'Neal thinks Su Yifan now needs strength training most, and Su Yifan also agrees with this view.
Every time he sees Oola's fist, which seems to be able to knock a person flying, Su Yifan feels envious and looks down on himself even more.
The swimming pool has ready-made underwater training equipment, which was originally prepared for professional athletes. I don't know what method Su Xiaqing and Oola used, but in the end, Su Yifan changed into a pair of swim trunks and got into the water.
Shui Su Yifan regretted it immediately. Today, Su Xiaoqing didn't come, and Oula was obviously much more ruthless to herself - the water was actually cold!
Looking at Oola standing tall by the pool, Su Yifan now regrets not daring to say that he will no longer practice. He can only start torturing himself in the water according to Oola's rhythm...
This commotion lasted until noon.
When Su Xiaqing arrived, Su Yifan had already put on his clothes and was jogging slowly on the treadmill with a pale face.
Su Xiao frowned with concern: "Won't this cause any harm to the body?"
"No, he needs to do more exercise that accelerates blood circulation now." Oula looked at Su Yifan who was still sweating profusely on the treadmill and said in his usual cool tone, "Intensive training must last for at least six months, and he is still in the adaptation phase."
Su Xiao sighed softly: "Is it really necessary? A person's body doesn't have to be as strong as your standard."
"It depends on him," Oola said indifferently. "His own will determines what he can finally become."
Su Xiaoqing stopped talking and sat on the chaise longue, thoughtfully watching Su Yifan jog in place to keep his body warm.
"How long should underwater training be maintained?"
"Four months."
"Let's find another place." Su Xiaoqing said in a tone as if discussing what to eat today, "I don't like this swimming pool, let's build one somewhere else."
"Good."
Su Yifan was trained by Oola for another hour before getting off the treadmill, while Su Xiaqing patiently waited on the recliner playing with her computer.
Eula left without saying goodbye, looks like she's really busy.
"Let's go eat at Beich for lunch." Su Xiao looked at Su Yifan with concern, who was almost about to fall to the ground, "Isn't it too tiring?"
Su Xiaoqing didn't say anything at first, but as soon as she did, Su Yifan immediately straightened his back: "It's okay, I know you're doing it for my own good."
Patted Su Yifan's shoulder, Su Xiaqing smiled comfortingly and closed her computer.
"Do you want to learn how to drive?"
Su Yifan was startled.
"Learning to drive?"
"En, let's study formally, then I'll find someone to help you get a driver's license." Su Xiaoqing took off her headphones and shook her head of black hair, "It will be more convenient when going out with girls in the future."
“……”
Su Yifan was speechless, and the purpose of learning to drive was actually so simple?
As for learning to drive, Su Yifan really couldn't muster up too much dislike. Just like how girls are all enthusiastic about buying shoes and pretty clothes, boys have no resistance towards cars, which have already taken over the world as a big toy.
Facing Su Xiaoqing, Su Yifan also became straightforward and nodded vigorously: "Good."
Su Xiaqing smiled slyly: "Yes, from now on I can drive and take Cheng Shuiyan out to play."
Su Yifan scratched his head: "Qing Jie don't tease me, I couldn't afford to buy a car myself...I'll have to wait until I graduate from university."
"Which of those cars do you like? I'll give it to you." Su Xiaoqing said indifferently, "Or should I just give you that BMW?"
Su Yifan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he almost nodded in agreement. But his usual habit of silence helped him to hold back, and instead of blurting out another "okay", he hesitated for a moment before refusing.
"Qing jie... I know I owe you too much, and no matter what, I still can't repay it." Su Yifan said in a low voice, "Without you, I might not be as confident as I am now. But the more it's like this, the more I don't want to ask for everything from you... I still want to prove myself."
When Su Yifan said this, Su Xiaqing raised her head and smiled with satisfaction.
"Alright, have it your way. So, you want to learn how to drive first? Where do you want to go to learn?"
Su Yifan immediately laughed: "Do I still need to learn from others? Qian Jie, you can teach me, right?"
Su Xiaqing jumped up from the chaise longue: "That's right, let's go eat first and learn to drive in the afternoon!"
Seeing Su Xiaoqing so excited, Su Yifan was also very happy. He liked seeing Su Xiaoqing happy.
A few minutes later, Su Yifan couldn't help but feel unhappy. He looked gloomy and stared at Su Xiaqing's car, asking in an uncertain tone: "Sister Qing, are you really going to practice with this car?"
Su Xiaoqing nodded firmly: "It's okay, I'll sit in the passenger seat and accompany you."
"Shouldn't I be sitting in the passenger seat first?" Su Yifan felt that this order was wrong.
Su Xiaqing opened the car door and pushed Su Yifan into the Porsche 911: "Aren't you very capable with your hands? This is just a small matter."
Su Yifan couldn't help but admit that Su Xiaqing really understood him well.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Xiaoqing didn't even fasten her seatbelt and began to teach Su Yifan how to start the car and control it.
The large parking lot of the swimming pool became Su Yifan's practice venue for a while, and Su Xiaqing taught Su Yifan for almost an hour until Beiqi drove over to stop them.
"Miss Su." Beiqi got out of the car and greeted Su Xiaqing with a bow, "I've already prepared lunch. It's time to eat now."
Su Xiaqing nodded and swapped driving positions with Su Yifan, then followed Beiqi's car out of the swimming pool. From start to finish, the security guards at the swimming pool did not ask any questions or come over to greet them.
After finishing dinner, Bi Qi also bid farewell. These people who were surrounding Su Yifan seemed to be busy. Su Xiaoqing drove the car and took Su Yifan to continue practicing driving.
Just as Su Xiaqing said, Su Yifan's learning ability, especially his hands-on learning ability, is really strong. In just one afternoon, Su Yifan was already able to drive the Porsche slowly and steadily.
The joy of driving is indescribable for boys, Su Yifan grasped the steering wheel, both nervous and excited. He never thought he would learn to drive so quickly, especially under such circumstances.
"Promise me, don't speed." Su Xiaoqing said seriously and persistently.
Su Yifan replied solemnly: "Definitely!"
Reminded of his dad's teasing on the phone, Su Yifan decided to head home for dinner that night. This time, Su Xiaqing didn't switch seats with him. She smiled and stared at Su Yifan as he carefully drove onto the highway during rush hour, suddenly asking: "Will you get distracted driving like this while talking?"
Su Yifan was very confident in his own attention and immediately replied: "No."
"That's good." Su Xiaoqing smiled and said, "On such a busy weekend, will you feel stressed?"
Su Yifan shook his head seriously: "No, I think it's better now than ever before."
Su Xiaoqing knew what Su Yifan was saying and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "Actually, even if you really want to just drift through life, it's not like it's impossible."
Su Yifan kept his eyes on the road, maintaining a relatively low speed: "That way I would have let Qing Jie down."
"That doesn't matter," Su Xiaoqing said, "What matters is whether you want to or not."
Su Yifan carefully slowed down the car and stopped on the roadside parking strip, only then did he release the steering wheel and let out a sigh of relief.
"Light sister, I think you're right."
"What?"
"There's nothing that can't be done in this world, only things you don't want to do." Su Yifan said it unusually calmly, as if he had really grown up, "Although I don't know if I can meet your expectations, I still want to try my best."
Su Xiaoqing narrowed her eyes, leaned softly against the back of the chair and said in a gentle voice: "The choice I gave you is just one of many choices. Whether it's pursuing Cheng Shuiyan or something else, your own heart is what matters most. If you really think so in your heart, I'll be very happy."
"I will try my best." Su Yifan was as if making an unusually solemn promise, "No matter how much I can achieve in the end, I hope to become a person who makes Qing-jie feel proud of me."
"How did you suddenly think of telling me these things?" Su Xiaoqing asked with a smile. "I believe you can do it."
Su Yifan lowered his head and looked at his own hands.
"It's you who gave me confidence."
"Then?"
Su Yifan raised his head and smiled brightly at Su Xiaqing: "Then I realized that actually, nothing is that difficult, it's just whether or not I'm willing to do it."
Su Xiaoqing patted the young man's shoulder happily: "Alright, no need to be so formal. If you have any ideas, just tell me directly, don't be polite."
Su Yifan nodded heavily and restarted the car.
The Porsche 911 in Su Yifan's hands ran at a speed of over 40 kilometers per hour, still being despised by the pedestrians and other drivers on the side.
"Wow, driving such a good car, but driving like a cow cart, is the driver a woman?"
"What a waste! You don't even know how to drive and you bought such a good car!"
…………
The two people who turned on the car stereo couldn't hear these discussions, Su Yifan was fully focused on dealing with his first drive in life, while Su Xiaqing took out sunglasses and put them on.
The young man's unique and proud personality made Su Yifan want to drive his Porsche home to show off, but reason told him he couldn't do that. There were already too many idiots in the world showing off, no need to add another one.
About 500-600 meters away from his home, Su Yifan stopped the car by the side of the road.
"Little sister, I'm back home. When are you going to visit my dad?"
Su Xiao waved her hand: "Wait for me to get ready, I've been quite busy lately."
Busy? Su Yifan was stunned, if Su Xiaqing was busy, would she have time to accompany him for a whole day?
After getting off the bus, Su Yifan was about to head home when he suddenly felt an urge to turn his head and take a look back. He caught sight of Su Xiaqing lowering her head to change the song on the stereo.
For some reason, Su Yifan felt that Su Xiaqing's slender figure was very lonely.
Su Yifan walked up to the car window and knocked a few times. Su Xiaqing quickly rolled down the glass.
"Little sister, I don't know what I can do to help you." Su Yifan said to Su Xiaqing in the cold wind, "If there really is something, please be sure to tell me."
Su Xiaqing pursed her lips and blinked her eyes, saying nothing, but nodding very hard.
