The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

Shen Ping chuckled on the other end of the phone: "You got a cat? What breed?"

"Two orange cats, one male and one female. The male is named Little Moon, and the female is named Little Tail. When do you have time to come and visit?"

"Okay, okay, I'll check the time this weekend. How have you been lately? Have you reported to your graduate school yet?"

"I just went there today and finalized my research topic with my supervisor. It's environmental engineering, focusing on wetland ecological restoration."

The father and daughter started chatting like that.

There was no longer the tense atmosphere or awkward silence. Shen Wanyu leaned back in the rattan chair, crossed her legs and swung her feet, occasionally letting out a laugh.

Shen Ping asked about her daily life and whether she had enough money on the phone. She said she did, then paused for half a second and added, "Lin Feng has Aunt Wu cook for me every day according to the recipes." There was a moment of silence on Shen Ping's end, then he said, "That's good."

Lin Feng straightened the last landscaping stone and patted the mud off his hands. He heard Shen Wanyu say, "Lin Feng is here too. He's helping me clean the fish pond," and then she said, "Take care of yourself, don't stay up too late," and then she added, "I'm hanging up now. Take care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, she sat in the wicker chair, placed her phone on her lap, and stared at the screen for a while.

"My dad seemed quite happy just now." She turned to look at Lin Feng. "He seemed more relieved to hear that you were here."

Lin Feng stood up and stretched his legs, which had gone numb from squatting for so long.

On a September evening at Hohai University, the sun had set but the heat lingered. The stone slabs in the courtyard, having been baked all day, were scorching hot to the touch. I was drenched in sweat; the back of my shirt was soaked, and beads of sweat trickled down my temples.

"Let's go get something to eat." Shen Wanyu stood up and took his hand.

Aunt Wu made steamed sea bass and two cold dishes for dinner. The two sat in the dining room, and Lin Feng only ate half a bowl of rice before putting down his chopsticks. It was too hot, and he really didn't have much of an appetite.

Shen Wanyu had a good appetite; she ate a whole bowl of rice and drank half a bowl of soup. She had been following Lin Feng's diet for several days, and her complexion was noticeably better than before.

After finishing his meal, Raymond Lam was about to take a shower and change his clothes when Shen Wanyu ran down the stairs, already dressed in her swimsuit. It was the same black one-piece deep V-neck swimsuit she wore last time, but this time she wasn't wearing a towel over it. She walked down the stairs confidently, her hair already styled up, revealing her slender neck and collarbone.

"Come on, let's go swimming together." She walked over and grabbed his wrist, her tone coquettish.

The water in the rooftop swimming pool shimmered with a blue light in the night, and the fragrance of osmanthus was even stronger than last time. The osmanthus trees by the pool were in full bloom.

Lin Feng changed into his swimming trunks and walked out of the glass door. Shen Wanyu was already in the water, floating on her back, looking at the starry sky above.

Lin Feng jumped into the water and swam back and forth twice. Shen Wanyu caught up from behind. Her freestyle movements were standard and smooth, but when she swam next to him, she suddenly changed her rhythm. She "accidentally" splashed around and fell on him.

Lin Feng instinctively reached out to catch her, and she naturally wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck, her face less than ten centimeters away from his.

"I lost my balance just now." She blinked, looking innocent.

Lin Feng looked into her eyes, then at her swimsuit. The deep V-neckline clung even more to the fabric after being soaked in the water, and the lines below her collarbone were subtly revealed by the water's surface.

Water droplets still clung to her lips, reflecting the light from the pool lamps.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

"Guess." Shen Wanyu leaned her face forward a little, her lips almost touching his chin, and then stopped there.

A hand slid from the back of his neck to his chest, the fingertips slowly sliding down the midline of his pectoral muscles underwater. The movement was very light and slow, but the eyes were fixed on his face, observing his reaction.

Lin Feng took a deep breath.

He turned around in the water, put an arm around her waist, and pressed her against the tiled edge of the pool. Water splashed up and hit both of them. Shen Wanyu gasped softly, her back pressed against the cool pool wall, and her body instinctively shrank upwards.

Lin Feng placed his other hand on the back of her neck and lowered his head to kiss her. It wasn't the gentle French kiss he'd given her before; it was a forceful and aggressive one. His lips pressed against hers, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. His tongue pried open her teeth and probed inside. Her whimpers were muffled in her throat. Her hands instinctively pushed against his chest, then slowly and tentatively wrapped around his back.

His hand moved from her waist to her front. The fabric of her swimsuit was as thin as a film after being soaked in water. His thumb slid gently across her, and Shen Wanyu trembled in his arms. She buried her face in his shoulder and tightened her fingers around his back, but she did not push him away.

Lin Feng's hand lingered inside her swimsuit for a moment before withdrawing.

"Snap," "Snap," two sounds!

"Will you continue to seduce me?"

Shen Wanyu lay on the edge of the pool, her wet hair plastered to her shoulders, the deep V-neck of her swimsuit askew, revealing half of her fair shoulder. She turned her head to look at Lin Feng, her eyes watery, her lips still swollen from the kiss, her cheeks flushed red to her ears, but she stubbornly insisted, "I didn't do anything."

"Haven't done anything yet?" Lin Feng pretended to raise his hand again.

"I won't seduce you anymore!" Shen Wanyu quickly shrank back, turned over and went into the water, soaking her whole body in the pool, only her nose and above were exposed, her eyes blinking as she looked at him on the surface of the water.

After swimming and taking a shower, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Lin Feng changed into clean clothes and came out of the bathroom. Shen Wanyu was sitting on the living room sofa wrapped in a bathrobe, her hair half-dry, holding a cushion in her arms.

Seeing him come downstairs, I put the cushion aside, stood up, and walked up to him.

"Don't leave tonight." She grabbed his wrist and looked up at him. The collar of her bathrobe was loosely open, revealing a patch of fair skin below her collarbone. Her tone wasn't the previous coquettish capriciousness, but rather a pleading request tinged with expectation.

"No way." Lin Feng refused decisively.

"Just for one night. You can sleep in the guest room, I won't bother you." Shen Wanyu blinked.

"You said you wouldn't make a fuss last time. Who was it that pinned me against the wall last time?" Lin Feng flicked her forehead. "No means no. You live here alone, and suddenly having a man stay overnight, what will your dad think?"

When Shen Ping was mentioned, Shen Wanyu's expression visibly softened.

She opened her mouth to refute, but couldn't find a point to make, so she let go, pulled the collar of her bathrobe, and muttered, "My dad won't know."

"Alright, go to sleep early." Lin Feng picked up his car keys, opened the front door, and the night breeze carrying the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted in.

He glanced back at Shen Wanyu, who was still standing sullenly in the living room, and said, "I have something to do at the company tomorrow, I'll come see you another day. Remember to eat according to the diet, and don't stop your yoga."

"Okay." Shen Wanyu saw him off at the gate of the courtyard, watched him get into the car and start the engine, and then waved to the taillights from in front of the wrought iron gate.
